Oh, great sale! Thanks for the RTS games (Act of War series, KKND :))

Blood, kknd, locomotion, master of magic, act of war and it's only the first part! I'll wait until Friday to make my choice, but vol. 17 is already a good one.

@thraxman reported:

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T GET KKND2!!!!!!

There's lotsa bugs in it, including one which can corrupt saved games.

Why does GOG continue to sell a game with unsolved game-greaking bugs? I'm talking about KKND2. The number of reviews and forum posts in that regard is overwhelming.

Please pull the game from the store until it is fixed (if ever). You're only making more and more consumers angry otherwise.

YES!!!! Master of Magic! Rollercoaster Tycoon! And now, with the Role Playing sale, System Shock 1+2! Dang, GOG, my wallet hurts, but this is the good stuff. Now I just need the Star Controls, Unreal series, and Rogue Legacy to complete the Sean Malstrom top 10 list I mentioned at the Civilization sale.

Just let it be Oblivion, so we can let all those obligatory comments slide into the oblivion of the past....

Nah, that sounds like just another publishers games added to the sale to me...

If Oblivion does come this week (and that's looking likely) then it will probably be a separate release event on Tuesday or Thursday.

Master of Magic is one of the best classics on the whole GOG universe. Somehow i felt obligated to inform you (esp. the younger folks who may have never played it before).

As I am looking for demos for some games I don't have, I will post some links here so that they might be useful to others.
There is a demo for Astebreed, and the game has Japanese audio too!

Downloading procedure is a bit convoluted and it's just about 1,3 mb/s.
I like the demo. Can anyone confirm that GOG version has all the Japanese speech?
Sadly I can't find a demo for Momodora.
Also Revolver330 has a demo:

click on the green "download demo", the 75 mb one.
Powerslide demo: https://archive.org/details/PowerslideDemo
but apparently the game won't run and GOG make it work again on moder pcs.
From youtube videos, it feels a litthe bit like good old POD with a rearview mirror. Plus, the idea that these guys are racing for FRUITS in a post-apocalyptic world really sets the mood for me.

But the fallout could be more than any of us can bear. :)

The game includes Japanese audio, including the voice acting the GOG release.
The first three Momodora games are at itch.io. There isn't a demo, but they might be enough to help develop an informed opinion.

I don't know what you mean exactly when talking about being "a prick", but I'll try to help you, because I love this serie :)

Well, I personally really, really love RCT 1 (it's one of my all-time favorites that I've always great pleasure to play, since its first demo back in the days !!), and I like a lot RCT 3 :) (not as much, some particular flaws makes it definitely not as good as the first, but... it's really enjoyable too ! ). I like a bit less RCT 2 because of some very specific points and personal taste.

In short, it's a serie made for people who enjoys the atmosphere of parks and building roller coasters, but with some constraints that you have to take in account (space, money, mission objectives). The spirit is pretty "light hearted" and joy-oriented, even if you have to think about how to do well (optimize) things (money matters to build things & improve the park).
The difficulty is progressive in each game, but RCT 3 was the easiest for me and hasn't exactly the same spirit as the first (I must confess that I didn't played more than few levels of RCT 2 for now because I didn't like it as much as the first -and the 3-, and I'm playing the 1st again and again, and 3 pretty regularly). Of course, you often have to plan things in a "commercial" spirit, for example : rollercoasters brings a lot of money and attract people, so place entry and exit wisely. This kind of things ;)
There is always the balance of "how to make money in the purpose to build a better park to bring more people inside and make them happy in the purpose of make more money in the purpose to build a better park to..." in a virtuous circle. But no "vicious" strategy against guests, simply "logical". You must know that the main creator was a huge fan of amusement parks & roller coasters, and you can feel this when playing the game ;)
Oh, and RCT3 has a sandbox mode where you have unlimited money if you don't want to even care about this point :)
I hope this helps you, even if it's only a little :P

PS : even my syster loved RCT1 when it was out (she was young, and she still loves it today :)) and she doesn't like "managerial" games : it's the only one she ever did ! ;)
PPS : I strongly suggest to buy the first one of course :D And if you can all of them ;D
