Gentlemen, empty your wallets.^

[TheChris92]

Sure would love to own KOTOR 2 & BF2 without the DRM.

[Dominus]

Bah, is it a game so nice to buy it twice?

For those who haven't played it, now's a good time to grab it. The Must-Have TSL Mod can be found here.

I've got vague memories of Star Wars: Dark Forces, felt similar to either Doom or Marathon mechanically. The story is blank to me, though.

[wolfsite]

I picked up KOTOR 2 and Galactic Battlegrounds.

 

Yes I own a physical copy of KOTOR 2 (4 disc version) but I just couldn't resist it as a backup copy.  Plus the game is great, the Restored Content mod makes it even better.

You should all totally buy BF2, like right now, so we can set up a fun BSN-session with some actual fun multiplayer.

Yes

 

Could you tell me why? What did you like about it?

Could you tell me why? What did you like about it?

Excellent writing, clever puzzles, a bonifide homage to the film-noir genre in the real fashion (the atmosphere, a salesman who gets approached by a mysterious woman, scrutiny and scrupulous figures). It's one of the greatest adventure games ever made where I feel the modern Telltale bullocks pales in comparison, some Telltale Developers are former LucasArts employees from their adventure days (although whether any of them worked on Fandango is still there, can't say).

 

Tim Schäfer has crafted excellent games that everyone need to play, one of them is Grim Fandango, the other is Psychonauts.

[Dominus]

Got through roughly an hour of Grim Fandango. The audio re-orchestration makes a big difference to the atmosphere.

The graphical side isn't a giant leap from the original, but it's still looks great and has a very high framerate for the characters themselves. Writing's the quality you'd expect from Tim & Co. Goofy, Dark, and Creative. Also, the commentary is a nice touch; active comments mid-game is something I've only seen once before via Half Life: Episode 1 & 2.

$15 might seem expensive, but I've known people to buy worse things for the same price. It's a great deal.

If you enjoy Adventure Games, Tim Schafer Games, or ideally Both, I'd grab it.

New Sale: Devolver Game & Movies. Getting them all at once saves you 90%.

It's got Serious Sam, Hotline Miami, and Shadow Warrior(Both the original and the remake).



Word of warning about Hotline Miami, it's a twitch reflex game which I still haven't beaten due to its ridiculous difficulty. Never tried Serious Sam. Shadow Warrior's remake is quite nice, though. If you were looking for what Duke Nukem Forever was actually supposed to be, it's a good choice. The original, not so much.

In short: If you like to mindlessly hack at things or blow things up in the most violent way possible, you'll probably like this sale.

[OdanUrr]

Looks like they really want to push movies on us.

[Dominus]

Yep. I'd only grab those movies since I'm already getting those and a few other games for all of 8 bucks. Virtually none of the films from GoG look very appealing.

[wolfsite]

The 90% off applies if you buy the whole thing so if you are only looking at Shadow Warrior (2013) you might as well buy the whole thing since you will save an extra $7.

 

Most of the movies in this are video game documentaries with a few indie films in the mix.

Paragons of Pixelhood Sale.

It's got Fez, Volgarr the Viking, The Last Door, Super Time Force Ultra, and Papers Please.

Finished both Grim Fandango and Deadly Premonition. I'll do a few quick pros and cons.

Grim Fandango:
Pros

• Some of the best writing/Dialog in Adventure Games, Highly Imaginative
• Remastered has severely cleaned up the original - the artsy environments remain, but the 3D Characters look a great deal better. Audio's been redone, Audio Commentary within the game, roughly 30 minutes of behind the Scenes
• Implemented Mechanics that were innovative for its time, like pulling inventory out of his own suit instead of looking at a classical inventory list, or having him look at points of interest instead of just highlighting them.

Cons

• "Grim Fandango is challenging, especially if you aren’t familiar with the bizarre logic that governs adventure games. Hand-holding wasn’t popular in this era, and designers seemed to relish adding at least a couple of completely nonsensical puzzles. Grim Fandango is no different. You need to pay close attention to every snippet of conversation and background object, while constantly cross-checking possible relationships between them. If you thought you were clever when you put batteries in a broken radio in Telltale’s The Walking Dead, you don’t know the meaning of puzzles.
  
  To further complicate things, several puzzles are based around objects that can be broken, consumed, or otherwise used up. As someone who often resorts to a trial-and-error approach when all else fails, that additional wrinkle in the puzzle design forced me to backtrack. The payoffs to failure were rarely interesting or fun (unlike King’s Quest death scenes). Instead, it was mostly infuriating." -GameInformer
• Some of the Inventory Items are near-infuriating to find, which is more of an issue for the first 1/4 of the game.
• Ocassional Crashing Issues, often before or after cutscenes.

Grim Fandango earned its Legendary status for a reason, just keep in mind that this is an old-school Adventure game with all the trappings that come with it.
 

----------------------------------

Deadly Premonition:
Pros

• Quirky Humor and a Memorable Story that twists further the more you go on.
• A Neat Mish-Mash of quite a few Psychological Horror/Detective Games: The Grotesque Dungeons of Silent Hill, The Combat of Resident Evil, and the story will feel similar to Alan Wake.

Cons

• Lack of Budget severely hurts the animation quality - thankfully the VAs make up for it.
• The Woman-Wall-Crawlers near the end of the game are very tedious to fight and are often required to consecutively fight.
• Crashing Issues, everywhere. I'd suggest making subfolders for saves just in case.

Having said that, Deadly Premonition is definitely worth the play if you're into the kind of games it was inspired by.
