RPGSite's favorites, by playtime
Our friends over at GOG are having a nice sale this weekend on some pretty cool PC-based RPGs. Now, we know. 2017 has been good, and you've likely got frightful backlogs. Maybe you don't have the time to play all of these - RPGs are enormous games, and some of you are no doubt busy reaching the 100-hour mark in Persona 5 and Breath of the Wild - or maybe you're still at it in Skyrim thanks to last year's Special Edition.But still - who doesn't like expanding their backlog some? GOG's latest sale is the ideal way to do that, and it's one tailor-made for our RPG-loving audience, especially those into Western RPGs already. For the JRPG fans, these cheap offers might be the perfect time to give some of the most traditional WRPGs a try.We've taken out the time to pick out some of the best deals from this sale here - and we've also included an average play-time for each game so that you can know exactly what you're getting into before you take the plunge. Fire up the backlog...
Divinity: Original Sin (60% off)
Playtime: ~60 Hours
7b93a4ed1f93270069b351729489bbee2a94d924619beae041941eda73675863.jpeg
The longest title of our highlights is also one of our favorites of the bunch. Well, actually it is probably just our favorite, period. Divinity: Original Sin was our 2014 game of the year. Featuring an incredibly engaging turn based combat system, a stellar soundtrack by the late Kirill Pokrovsky, and a huge world-saving quest, we definitely suggest that anyone with the time and interest give Original Sin a spin.Deep systems for crafting, exploration, combat, and party-building, the game is feature rich in every way. At the same time, the game differs from some of its contemporaries by injecting a bit of whimsy into the game in a way that only Larian can - early in the game you will teleport into someone's bathroom, and you'll converse with a dog to try to solve the mystery of his owner's murder. The game is even better with a friend: you can play it completely in on-line cooperative mode. We are especially excited for the sequel releasing in full later this year!
Pillars of Eternity (60% off)
Playtime: ~40 Hours

We've talked a lot about Pillars of Eternity . We think it's pretty good, great even! There's some new zeitgeist around Obsidian's kickstarter darling again as the game is set for a console release next month with Deadfire releasing at some point early next year. With their penchant for strong writing and one-of-a-kind characterization, Pillars of Eternity is definitely a title for someone looking to get lost inside a mammoth rpg world unlike most others.It is one of the longer games on this list, but we still suggest it for those that are looking for a little more narrative depth but with the mechanical complexity of a deep and fully featured RPG experience. Featuring up to six party members and made even more expansive by the White March add-on content, this is probably the most traditional experience here, though at a level of quality where we'd suggest checking it out any day.
Torment: Tides of Numenera (30% off)
Playtime: ~30 Hours
68d4019f92bd3b27926f8029aaa97d5817b3dcc367c32d2700d735ffa5c456d9.png
Potentially buried in early 2017's onslaught of game releases, we want to make sure people who have overlooked Torment: Tides of Numenera give it a try. The game launched with some significant issues: encounters weren't as fun to play as in some other titles in the genre and performance limitations hampered enjoyment for many. However, as of patch 1.10 a lot of adjustments have been made to shorten combat encounters and improve UI bugs.Story and writing are the focus of this title, with long gameplay sections void of any sort of combat or engagements: you can even play the game as a complete pacifist. Tides of Numenera is a game that allows you to die however often you want, hold the memories of other people inside your head, and even change someone's past by altering their memory - it gets pretty weird. It's a lot of reading, but if it's also probably the most unique title of the bunch.
Tyranny (60% off)
Playtime: ~20 Hours
377a95b51aa273ab2e0d9a9165c1af4f9bf9f409f6e02e8bf0a60ad508d8750b.png
Tyranny is the shortest game on this list and likely the most experimental. For those wanting to try something off of the beaten path, it's probably the title we'd suggest for you. Tyranny is a game completely about choice and consequence. Sure, that phrase is thrown around a lot across several rpgs, but Tyranny exemplifies the ideals in the strongest ways.While a single playthrough of the title is far shorter than a game like Pillars or Original Sin, the amount of variation in the way the narrative can unfold is remarkable, which encourages multiple playthroughs to see how decisions made early in the game can change your allies, your enemies, and even your party members. However, even a single playthrough can highlight the sort of fallout that every decision can result in. Bastard's Wound releases soon as well, so we're personally excited to revisit the Tiers at some point later this year.

Looks like Herve brings Steam tax to GOG, prepare for doubled prices: http://af.gog.com/news/special_sale_interplay_staycation?as=1649904300

Everything Interplay 60% off | Price change incoming.


Ever had a really really cool staycation? You know, one where you get some time off just so that you can lock yourself in and chill by your favorite screen, armed with mountains of unwholesome snacks, several gallons of energizing beverages and the all-powerful A/C remote by your side? Well the Interplay Staycation is shaping up to be a pretty epic one!

These golden classics will soon have their prices increased so don't dally: grab them now for 60% off and prepare for a glorious house-sitting session.

You want to start with something that has oodles of atmosphere, intriguing story, and enough combat bits to keep you on your toes: Stonekeep, Lionheart or Lost Eden are all good warm-up choices. Now take the action up a notch with Earthworm Jim's wacky platforming, MDK's chaotic antics, Shogo's intense gunplay, or Freespace 2's magnificent explosions. Time to top if off with class: Treat yourself to the diverse and ridiculously entertaining Sacrifice and Giants: Citizen Kabuto, two unique gaming experiences that are enough to make this staycation totally worth it!

These are just some of the neat Interplay treasures on offer, though. There's also Toonstruck, Prehistorik 1+2, Redneck Rampage, plenty of Star Trek and more to choose from!

The special Interplay Staycation Sale will last until July 31, 3 PM UTC.

The price change on the Interplay catalog will be applied after the sale is concluded.

Also Weekly Sale Vol. 24 includes Shadow Tactics, several Daedalic games, Wadjet Eye games, and others: https://af.gog.com/promo/20170724_weekly_sale?as=1649904300

Correct, and over in the "What game are you wasting time on?" thread I pointed out that the devs seemed to have addressed the issue and put back the cut jokes.

That sorts out the main game, but the DLC had problems of its own that could (or could not) be fixed by now.

Interesting.
Feedback must have been quite sharp for them to listen it (and not just call people pissbabies and such.)

Unkillable Cat Taka-Haradin puolipeikko Thanks! I played the various gog builds of Jazzpunk myself and I didn't notice any censorship. Glad to hear the director's cut got de-censored before it hit gog! There is one change I did notice, though: In the earlier versions, Wedding Cake would generate trash talk from other players, calling you a cheater, camper, n00b and all that. It no longer does that. I chalked that up to Wedding Cake being significantly changed and extended for the director's cut, but after hearing about these cut jokes in an earlier build of the DC, I wouldn't be surprised if that was taken out on purpose.

I'd like to know more about the GOG Pinata thingie. Buy a mystery box for $3 and get... what exactly?

EDIT: Read up on it. Each pinata = one free game that you don't own worth something from $6 to $45. Only standalone games, no DLCs, extras or soundtracks.

Err... sounds too good to be true?

... it tells you right there on the page man: https://support.gog.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004458369-Pinata-Madness-FAQ?as=1649904300

"What is a Piñata?
In short: every Piñata costs $3 (or your local equivalent) and gets you a mystery game worth anywhere between $5.99 and $44.99.
That should be enough to get you started! Read on to learn more about Piñatas and how the sale works."
