A world to fall in glove with.

Hob, a beautiful action-adventure from the creators of Torchlight, is now available for pre-order DRM-free, on GOG.com. Grab the game at 10% off now – or pick up the Hob, Torchlight, and Torchlight 2 bundle for a 55% discount on all three.

Is Hob a wanderer? A savior? Just another cog in life's sprawling machine? All you know is he has a task: to explore the serene landscapes, fiddle with enigmatic machines, fight or befriend the local wildlife and do his best to repair the planet. There is a vibrant open world for him to tame, filled with puzzles and danger, but also silent beauty and well-kept secrets. Bet his grappling mech-arm will likely come in handy, too.

Hob is set for release on September 26, 2017, discounts will last throughout the pre-order period.

Pawel1995: This GOG! Literally half of the OLD games I played as a kid are available on your store but without the languages the CD ROM had 10 years ago.

If you sign a contract with developers for new or old games, please make sure to get all the versions, so people won't run away to Steam, becasue of that...
Have you guys actually checked the game card on Gog ? That post of mine is outdated .

Gog version :
Audio and text: العربية, Português do Brasil, 中文, Dansk, Deutsch, English, español, Suomi, français, italiano, 日本語, 한국어, nederlands, norsk, polski, português, русский, svenska, Türkçe

Nope, but no real need to as this is gog after all, not valve as I knew they would eventually fix the issue as they always do!...The sun is hot, water is wet, and gog is still better than valve as it gives more than two shits about their supporters!

You mean like... at least three shits, right? Or does it go all the way to eleven shits?

Sorry, nevermind me, I just continue to be amazed at how english language (or language in general) works if taken literally. And I agree with the sentiment. Recently GOG made few questionable moves on the path of steamification, but at least their starting position is very different. On steam I'd have to pay close attention to DRM status in addition to likeability of the game, with no guarantee that they won't patch some of that crap in later with unavoidable update. Here we have (for now) one or two questionable items, rest of the catalogue is clean, and installers with extra bloat are easy to avoid once you know you have to do that (or give in and use the galaxy to install your games).

That kind of fits with what I was just now thinking about the caption "A world to fall in glove with." I started to get a hankering for some Spinal Tap, in particular their album "Smell the Glove". I wonder whether I'll have time to put it on repeat.

More like 327.82 shits...But I digress! ;)

Yeah, I would love to be able to learn both the Slavic language as well as this, so you have the advantage! And yeah, with the absolver multiplayer issue as far as the publishers locking much of the single-player content behind multiplayer, I still value the fact that I can download the install files on my HDD, and install my game as well as store it off-line without the threat of being locked out of my game!

I despise steam and that grimy sweaty bloated walrus newell for their mandatory game updates, and double dipping DRM! Also, you'd do well to get the Enhanced steam plugin as it red-flags denuvo and other DRM infections for the games they release, as the rotten fucks bury it in the EULA and not directly on the store's page!

Zoidberg: Yeah, preorder scheming is PROOF that the developpers/publishers have no trust in their own game.
Either that or their presale numbers are no where near where they were projecting.

I'm still debating on it. I would like the 2 torchwoods games.

Annoyingly, this would be a good deal if I didn't already own Stories.

"Stories: The Path of Destinies" sounds like the most generic name for a game ever thought up, with Divine Divinity coming second.

Yeah, seems like it got changed now. STILL that doesn't change the fact that there are so many games on gog that lack certain language versions, meanwhile you can find the same game in another shop with them included ?!

Although I can't see any mention of it online, since this game is also being released on PS4, I would have imagined it would have controller support (If not initially, then not long after launch) since it would have had that development for the console.

Still, not worth the risk until 100% certain.

I'd be mighty surprised if this doesn't support gamepads right at release. Either way, the pre-order bonus game is being offered until the 10th of October, so just wait for a few days after release.

Steam page lists full controller support as a feature, GOG just needs to update their page.
