Albion and also Pharaoh+Cleopatra bought. I just played Albion a little today.

OK, I decided to try my luck at a piñata, even though I knew I would probably get a game I wasn't interested in. Turns out I was right, as that piñata contained Heroes of Might and Magic 3: Complete. Into the 'games I'll never even install' pile it goes. I realize it's probably a great game (a perfect 5 star review on its GOG game page is nothing to sneeze at), but it's most definitely not my kind of thing. Sadly, we can't exchange games we get via piñatas; kind of an oversight on GOG's part, in my opinion, since I guess a few people might have wanted this game, and I would be more than willing to give it away. Oh, well...

To preemptively make up for it, I also bought Stories Untold for €5 (50% off), since I've had it in my wishlist for a while.

Well... >observer_ just released. And I bought it. For a few reasons.

First, I *love* horror games, and I think Bloober are developing some of the most unique and atmospheric horror games, these days (I'm a huge fan of their previous game, Layers of Fear, and its expansion, Inheritance).

>observer_ is a cyberpunk game, and you can never have too much cyberpunk in your life. Plus, Rutger Hauer (of Blade Runner fame) voices the main character. Yup, you read that right.

Bloober treats GOG customers with the utmost respect. Layers of Fear was a midnight release, same time as Steam. The GOG version of Layers of Fear has *never* been behind the Steam one, they are timely with their patches and updates, and don't just abandon the GOG versions of their games, like other devs do. >observer_ even released on GOG before it did on Steam, by the way. I want to support these devs and show them, by buying their game, that GOG customers support devs and publishers who treat them right, and not like second-rate people.

This means it won't be as easy for me to buy another game for a little while, but I think supporting these people is more than worth it. Instead of bitching and moaning about all the studios that treat us like crap, we should be voting with our wallets and rewarding those who care about us and have never been disrespectful or unprofessional towards their paying customers.

I wish Bloober the best of luck with their new game, and I hope it sells well here on GOG.

Ys SEVEN. Finally. :P

It was just a few days ago that I bought all of these,

1. Titan Quest : Anniversary Edition.

2. The Legend of Heroes - Trails of Cold Steel.

3. Elder Scrolls Oblivion : Game of the Year Edition.

4. Elder Scrolls Morrowind : Game of the Year Edition.

just got Lichdom Battlemage ♥

Just bought The Suffering and The Suffering: Ties That Bind, two awesome action/horror games I played a long time ago via... "less than legal means". I'm glad to finally own them legally.

Just got my Night Trap and The Bunker PS4 physical releases in from the US, along with my copy of Dragon Quest 5 for the DS from the States. I can't imagine that Night Trap or The Bunker are going to take long to play through, but Dragon Quest is always a bit of a time sink.

Also got Ys 8 for the PS4 coming soon on pre-order.

I *really* wanted to get Ys VIII but the price is a bit steep for what I can afford, right now, sadly... I will get it, eventually, since I own all Ys games on GOG and it's one of my favorite series ever. I'm assuming it isn't any cheaper on the PS4?

Bought Danganronpa for the PS4 and Splatoon 2 for the Nintendo Switch for the kids on Tuesday. Today, I just picked up Mass Effect:Andromeda for PC on sale for me.

Depends where you pick it up from I guess. I've preordered for €60 (as opposed to GOG's €55) but if you scout around in retail stores you may find it for €50 somewhere.

I just pre-ordered Ruiner, even though I know how much the GOG Forum Community *hates* Devolver Digital. I honestly don't care, Devolver publishes some of the best games around.

I also pre-ordered Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana, despite the high price, because I love the Ys series and I want to let NISA know GOG is a viable store to release games.

The most vocal part of the vocal minority. :P I think it's because some people associate DD with ultra-low-res pixel art. Another reason might be the lack of updates for certain DD games, but I haven't checked the list to see.

Dragon Quest Builders yesterday.

I found a copy of Airline Tycoon Deluxe on CD at one of those remainder chains a few weeks ago. Paid like 50 cents for it. It was under all of those The Simple Life DVDs.
