Doing good, thanks. Happy as a weasel in a henhouse now that I have a major sale to track. Great seeing you back here, hope you'll stick around for the fun!


I was hoping to see those in there too. Maybe they'll show up as individual sale items though. I already grabbed the BG EE titles, but not yet ID EE.

Thanks for posting that, at least I'm not the only one. :)

Witcher 2 at -50%. Next deal to be unlocked is Meridian: New World.
Edit: Witcher 2 is actually at -85%.

Uh, the flash deals are limited in time.. so.. should I skip Dreamfall (TLJ2) and play directly Dreamfall2?
TLJ1 was great, but the sequel seemed a bit shallow from the LP.

So now it seems we have 2 bundles / day, 1 new single game sale introduced every 40 min and lasting for 6 hours, and a "stamp" every 18 hours. Still no official news post though, which is odd.

With different companies involved (Hasbro for the original and Beamdog for the Enhanced), I doubt this will happen anytime soon, if ever.

Thanks IamSinistar and the others for tracking the sales !

I was curious to see if they'd be included, but I suspect due to GOG's discounting policy on the bundles it made it a little too soon to be included (that or the D&D bundle price would have had a not-insignificant increase on the whole bundle cost). Maybe they'll be in the bundle next year?

The good thing is, I'm a work-from-home person. No risk of my manager walking through and seeing I'm obsessively checking on a gaming website for sales :D

Well, it's more akin to the Summer Sale than last year's Fall Insomniac Sale, but I'll take it! Major props to IAmSinistar for this tracking thread. I appreciate your dedication, sir! Now, bring on the deals!!!

I really enjoyed Warband. Some things to keep in mind - it's a bit difficult at the start (you really do feel like a new knight) and it's a slow grind to build up the money needed to build up your equipment and towns. Assets are reused for towns (but it's really easy to navigate a town - you move in and out quickly and hit the "hotspots" to get done what you need to get done and bang, you're back in the world). Some of what you do can feel "samey." There is no real story beyond what you make of it.

HOWEVER...

And this is a huge however. The game is fantastic. If you get into it, you can sink a ton of time. You create and grow a massive retinue of soldiers, including both unique characters and tons of generic soldiers - even the generic soldiers fall into many different classes that have varied upgrade paths. There are many factions, and you juggle relations with the individuals of each faction (think feudal relationships - so you're not "High Rated" by Faction X, you are liked by the prince of X, powerful warlord of X, hated by general of X etc etc etc). Towns are attacked and switch sides, you can become lord of towns, seige castles. Trade. I could go on and on but I'm getting increasingly incoherent and rambling ;) But in a way, it's that kind of game (well, not incoherent!). Always a ton to do, all of it defined by you. There are a few more lenghty quests that involve installing new rulers, but other than that it's very free form. If you can get by the early game and some of the warts there's a ton of fun here.

With respect, I don't see anyone holding a gun to your head (or anyone else's for that matter) threatening your life if you don't partake in the sale.

I've only played warband. It is pretty fun, and the fighting is very challenging: you actually have to time stuff. I know! You can actually block and swing directionally. It is hard at first, but there are many places to practice in game. The graphics are nothing to write home about. Quests are your standard fair, but you can raid villages, pick fights with dukes, etc. My favorite is riding a horse and picking off bad guys with either melee or bow. You slowly amass an army and take on big and better opponents.

If you REALLY want a run down, talk to ragnarblackmane. This is like his game, and the one who introduced me to it.


But seriously, it is the fighting that makes this game stand out. here is a video tutorial to give you a basic idea.

Well, guess it's time to start filling gaps in the ever-growing mountain of games I already have. Will start with Carmageddon and Dreamfall while deciding on the Mount and Blade pack.
