ElPrimordial: This is very very weird, yesterday this game was 50% off and Postal 2 same 50%. Right now I saw Postal 2 90% off and Postal 1 93%... or is this a regional thing? Sudamerica here FYI.

Also I must add yesterday Broken Sword 1 was 80% and the rest of the series not. Today 80% all series...
Same with FlatOut 1 discounted 80% and FlatOut 2 wasn't... today 90% off

And the same in other several series/games... what the heck is going on?
They explained somewhere here that not all games' prices have been updated at day 0 (because of some technical issue). I've received additional notification from IsThereAnyDeal a day after the sale started with a bunch of new discounts.

Don't hold your breath. I've not seen anything better than 10% off (not that I recall anyway) here since it was released.

Ah, my bad. Meant to type 20 and typed 10 instead. Anyway, as you noted, that still doesn't fall under the category 'decent' discount (IMO, anyway).

Today more than 400 deals have been added which the GOG staff has not managed to add before the sale has started. That's why you see more games discounted today which were not on sale yesterday (like Postal 2, Broken Sword 2/3/4 and Flatout 1). In the case of Postal 1 I was wrong, not the base price has been changed, but the discount (from 50% to 90%). There are also a few other games where the discount has changed today. Only the Blues know why. ;)

Discount changes today:
- Death Road to Canada from 30 to 33%
- Dying Light: The Following - Enhanced Edition from 50 to 60%
- POSTAL: Classic and Uncut from 50 to 90% (or 92/93% in other regions)
- Rad Rodgers: World One from 15 to 25%

And at least in my region there are also several games where the rounding of the discounted prices has changed by a few Cents today.

I see, and yes some games got a slightly discount (from 80% to 81% and so).

Fonzer: Also anybody knows when chantelise will go on sale discount?
Seems like i have it on my wishlish for quite some time and i keep an eye on it and didn't notice any discounts for it.
No idea, but there's a good chance it'll be in the week after the sale.

If you think about what they'll put for sale in the next weekly sale it can't be something that was discounted for the previous two weeks. Nobody would buy anything, but lots would complain that there's no incentive to buy.

Since 3/4 of the catalog is discounted right now I'd say there's a good chance for those that are not.

HOLY CRAP! Gog delivers! Check out the front page, this is why this site rules!

Onsdag: I don't often post anything, but I just wanted to add my voice to this discussion about the summer sale and what I like and don't like.

Positive:
* The summer sale is finally here!
* Free game on purchase - and it's a good one too! My brother already has Rebel Galaxy and I've been playing it through his account so I didn't *need* it, but it's nice to have it in my own library now.
* Tons of games on sale! With over 1500 titles on sale there should be something for everyone.
* All games on sale from the start. This allows me to see what's available and budget accordingly instead of worrying about spending too much early on and not having the money if other games I really wanted show up later.
* Connect is back! It's been too long since we had a large number of games added to connect, and I *really* hope this will continue!

Negative:
* Front page clutter. There's way too much happening on the front page, it's unorganized, distracting, and hard to find what you're looking for.
* Lack of developer/publisher bundles. Not only would this help reduce the front page clutter by bundling different publisher/developer games together, but it also helps you quickly find certain games you're interested in. Furthermore, in the past if you bought x number of games from these bundles you'd get an even greater discount.
* Get rid of the celebrity bundles, or at least provide a greater discount for them. 1) There has never been a discount for buying these bundles. 2) It clutters up the front page and causes confusion. 3) There is a lot of duplicate games posted in these different bundles. 4) Generally I could care less about what games so-and-so youtuber likes... unless there was a discount for the bundle, which brings us full circle to points #1,2, and 3.
* No exp system. This was a draw for me from previous sales and I was really looking forward to it for this sale as well. It actually got me coming back day after day, spending more and trying out different games than I was normally willing to, in order to reach that higher exp level and get another free game.
* Few deep discounts. I've waited a long time for this sale, hoping there would be some incredible deals. Sadly, there aren't many. Many of the games I've been keeping an eye on have only token discounts.
* Connect is a bust. Not a single game from my library can be redeemed. While I greatly appreciate the Connect program and am happy to see a number of titles appearing there, sadly, many of the games I was really hoping would come to Connect simply haven't. I fear many of my games on steam will never find their way to Connect and I'll have to pay double to finally have them DRM free.
As someone mentioned earlier, this bears repeating...

Kuzi110: Great Sale, thanks a lot. :)

BUT: Please, please, PLEASE make it possible to filter out games I already own. I don't want to browse all games on Sale (massive) to find new ones I'm interested in. That's not shopping (fun), it's WORK. And I don't invest as much (money) in work as I do in fun, if you get my point. ;)
This, it's like looking at my bloated library of games that I already own, while this is no issue if you only have 20 or so titles, once you've reached the multiple hundreds it becomes an issue!

Guys, just use Barefoot Essentials -- it has a fix for that plus much more (and it's customizable). ;)

PromZA: Interesting toy, but I don't see why GoG can't add this functionality and sorting by price or discount. Now it still says there's 41 pages of games when there's only 38 or 39 of those I don't own, plus it contains any number of games now and not 50. Really this is basic core functionality they should just add. Else if we are to rely on scripts they might as well make the site an API so we can at least have proper functionality. The logic here just astounds me.

Splatsch: I totally agree with you of course ;)
I hope one day GOG will implement this kind of things :)
Thanks in any case :)
