Good Old Games Sale Spotlight

[Gibbeynator]

Here's something I missed. Whoops. If you paid enough to get Divinity 2 during the "pay what you want" deal, you can download Divinity 2 now. Like, right now.

[Gibbeynator]

Well, as expected, the first release of the day was Divinity 2 for the full, 20 dollars. Less expected, however, was Origin System's Bioforge for $5.99.

GOG conference in four and a half hours.
I may live blog from the cyberpunk thread again.

[Gibbeynator]

Well, we are officially less than half-an-hour out from the conference. Anyone got any longshot predictions?

[Darth Marsden]

System Shock 2.

Long enough for you?

[Rather Dashing]

HOLY WOW.

[Gibbeynator]

Cyberpunk is now... Cyberpunk 2077!

[RetroVortex]

Shame I own all the interplay titles worth getting....

Those Deponia titles are very tempting. However, I just spent £15 on Sleeping Dogs and I'm trying to cut down on games a bit.
(So Theme Hospital and Deponia 1+2 can wait until the next time they go on sale!)

[Darth Marsden]

OK, those Interplay games... do you get to choose which ones you get, or is it just the ones that highlight?

Highlighted. Pay what you want for the first tier, beat the average for the first and second tier, and be a top contributor for all three tiers.

Thought so. Bugger that then. I'm not paying $35 just for a couple of games I half want. Might go for it if/when the price goes down.

[Gibbeynator]

Yeah, that's weak. All the good stuff is in tier 3.

[Rather Dashing]

They say $34.99 is the "best deal", but the full pack is $1.09 per game.

$1 for the first 8 is less than 13 cents per game.

$11.19 for the first 20 is less than 56 cents per game.(using the current number as of this post)

The beat the average pack is really good. Not to say they didn't hold back the most popular titles for the top tier, but that $23 difference is a pretty big leap. It's easy to justify with the Fallout games, Sacrifice, Freespace, and Descent on that list, but still, the Average pack contains some real gems and you should definitely consider.

Strongly disagree. All the POPULAR stuff is in Tier 3. A lot of the good stuff was spread into Tier 2.

Ah, but almost all the stuff I actually want is in Tier 3. I'll wait for the inevitable price drop.

People have been buying it, but that price hasn't budged an inch. I think the 35 dollar price tag might be a fixed price.

This is operating under a different ruleset than the Divinity promo, which seems like it was a test of sorts for this one. The $35 mark seems to be fixed. The one that might "raise" or "drop" is the Average, which contains a still not bad selection of Infocom games.

[Darth Marsden]

Well, then I won't buy it at all. I have limits. Sort of.
