Great game! I really liked the first one as it mimicked the golden age of comics, while this sequel had a great silver age comic vibe to it. My only real regret is that the game never was very popular, and so we never had a continuation come out.

Random daily GOG sales are not worthy of a news post on our prestigious website

 

[Norfleet]

The first one was pretty good....the second one was categorically inferior to the first, being significantly dumbed down in terms of tactical options.

You're a BRO and all Bee, but reposting a daily sale as news? GOG better be paying us through the nose for publicity

 

[Crooked Bee]

Whiners on mah codex? I never would've expected that.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

I bought both Freedom Force games at release for full price. Definitely worth it!

 

[ghostdog]

They're right Bee, advertising a daily sail isn't news.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Okay, I can't argue with ghostdog-sensei. I still disagree because we posted about GOG deals before, but whatever.

 

[Ulminati]

Freedom force is a fine game. But it isn't news. Heck, it's been on steam for 4 eurobucks for years.

A big multi-day sale for a core RPG franchise, maybe. Like the Ultima sale a few months ago. But this is just a daily sale for one game.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Do you have OCD or something? Just ignore the news if it doesn't interest you.

 

[PorkaMorka]

It sets a bad precedent though, especially since GOG is a Codex Corporate Partner.

(I don't fully understand the science behind referral links, but that also kind of looks like a referral link.)

 

[Crooked Bee]

Yes we're out for your money.

Another day, Codexers find another thing to whine about.

 

[VentilatorOfDoom]

And your sinister plan worked, Bee. Making this uncalled for newspost made me buy the game for a whopping $2.39. Now my family will starve for the next 10 days minutes. Hope you're happy now.

I have to agree that it shouldn't be news. But I wouldn't mind to have an "official" extra category for it, though. I mean we have a steam and a gog sale thread in the forum.

 

[Marsal]

At least she isn't pinning jRPG reviews on the front page again...

 

[Metro]

You guys need to partner with GabeN instead!

 

[Zed]

Sales news is for the watch!
OTOH maybe this will score us goodwill for potato RPG interviews.

 

[almondblight]

Yeah, but I mean, it's Freedom Force. To be honest, even if the news post was, "hey, Freedom Force has been $5 bucks on steam forever, you should buy it," it'd still be worthwhile.

 

[kazgar]

"Freedom force is still as good as it ever was, its purchasing price price fluctuates on various online distribution platforms."

Sales news is for the watch!

Disagreed. You see, Taluntain gets a share of each sale coming thru the above link. Say, 2%. Which would be, like $0.02-$0.03 for each sold copy. Now let's assume 1.000.000 of our readers just buy the game due to Crooked Bee's newspost. That means Taluntain would get > $20.000. Pretty good money for just a newspost. I sincerely hope at this point Tal would start to share some of the profit with the rest of the staff, i.e. with me. Then let's assume we do such a newspost at least once a week - you see where I'm getting at? That's why I wholeheartedly agree with posting GoG sales as newsposts.

Greedy overlords! I bet you underestimate the number of people buying the game from this link on purpose to fool us.

To get 1,000,000 readers you all need to start doing wacky YouTube videos like Total Biscuit. Bee would probably get 500,000 hits based on her girl parts alone!

Is this even an RPG?
