Set your steam profile from private to public if you haven't already.

It's public and I got the other games I had on Steam,it's just this one that GOG doesn't see,weird

Potato mathemagics:

What is this screenshot? Multi-platform Dragon Commander and Age of Wonders 3?

Worth mentioning: one of the free games, Dex, is surprisingly good, so give it a shot if you're in the mood for a 15h Deus Ex-lite. I left a more detailed post in the News thread.

It can still feel like a Gothic game, if you let it

Spoiler

Fan of the Gothic series? Splendid. You should be. Want a more immersive experience playing what many feel to be a sub-par RPG? Why wouldn't you? Do yourself a favor: turn off Quest Markers, Health Bars, Overhead Feedback, Enemy Captions, and Feedback Bar. This will improve the experience and make the journey feel pretty close to past Gothic games. Thank you, Spellbound, for giving us the option to turn off these hand-holding aberrations. Oh yeah, play the game on Hard difficulty, at least.

Now, a few good points: - A meaty feel to combat (I went two-handed + bow & arrow), including excellent sound design reflecting type of weapon impacting "flesh" type of enemy. Hitting a golem with a sword or warhammer will produce distinct sounds, hitting a wolf with a sword or axe will produce distinct sounds - Great soundtrack, as has always been the case with the Gothic Series - Lots of armor sets, a ton of weapons, an absurd amount of items to craft of each type (foodstuffs, potions, weapons, armor, amulets, etc.) - UI-friendly inventory - Meaningless interactibles: you can take short naps, saw tree trunks, watch Nameless play goblin drums, pray, rotate rotisseries, take bong hits, and more - Good story... at times odd, quirky dialogue, decent voice acting, and, of course...seeing old friends

A few bad points: - Clones, clones, yeah....clones - Fetch quests, lots of them - The "world" can feel empty at times - Crafting can be done anytime/anywhere. You're no longer required to be at an Alchemy Table to brew potions, no longer need to be at a stove or campfire to cook, no longer need to do any blacksmithing - Skill tree is underwhelming - The last few hours of the game is a tedious and total slaughter-fest

In closing, ArcaniA can still feel like Gothic, if you let it. I did, and I enjoyed the 39 hours I put into this game. Recommended.

Quoting Unkillable Cat's signature - game is not worth your time even if they deliver it with free booze and hookers.

Killing Time released. More like trivia?

I remember playing Killing Time and being quite creeped out by some of the visuals back then. I wonder how well the horror aspect has aged.

Been waiting for this for ages. Noticed it had been exclusively released on a competing site and hoped it would eventually make its way to maGoG.

JudasIscariot is this basically the original game tinkered to run on modern OS or is the HD 'remaster' version?

AFAIK, it's the original game tinkered to run on modern OSes. Definitely doesn't look all that HD and al the last time I played it.

Oh and Limbo is available on GOG connect now

 

[Goral]

Vampire the Masquarade Bloodlines has bigger discount though (-75% compared to -67%), maybe other titles as well?

 

[SausageInYourFace]

Black Friday sale is on 10 days after the previous sale ended,lol

How do they even still earn money from regular sales? Not that I am complaining..

Don't forget that GOG usually prefers to have their Christmas/Summer sale just before the Steam sale so I expect it to start around mid December about 15 days after this one ends

 

[MicoSelva]

Also (along with Limbo), INSIDE and Cossacks 3 have been released today, and Headlander yesterday.

 

[Baron Dupek]

I was waiting for VtM: Bloodlines in GOG Connect but maybe grab this now.
I got it on Steam but sometimes it work (with patches included, mind you), sometimes doesn't, sometimes does but it shit down his code out of nowhere in the middle of the game.
Still some titles don't have enough discount though

 

[Belegarsson]

NWN2 Complete is the only thing in my wishlist and it has a massive 17% off discount

EDIT: Actually it's not even discounted, it's the price of complete series since I already own NWN1 Diamond.

Really ?! Damn ! I don't have NWN2, and just confirmed the Black Friday sale on GOG. I am going to lose some money on there over the next few days

 

[Baron Dupek]

Inside is released?
That indie game with Denuvo?
What a surprise

Wait for the inevitable DND bundle.

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

Regardless of the actual quality of the GOG releases, that strategy bundle currently on sale has so much incline one can spontaneously come just by looking at it.

 

[Baron Dupek]

No new update today?

If only one haven't had played/owned most of the already. In which case it would be like fapping to your first ex-girlfriend picture.
