Tired of being bombarded with hearts, flowers, and cupids at every turn? Fed up with the relentless onslaught of Valentine's season? Fear not, for GOG is here to shake things up! Say goodbye to saccharine sweetness and hello to our delightfully macabre Gore Galore Sale. Dive into the world where blood flows down the streets to your content – it's time to indulge in some well-deserved self-care amidst the crimson chaos. Let’s see what it’s all about then!



We’re kicking this event off with some truly gruesome news – for the duration of Gore Galore you’ll be able to get the Wolfenstein Bundle, containing Wolfenstein: The Two Pack and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus Digital Deluxe Edition. On top of that, the bundle will be available for -85%; which will save you 20% than when buying these titles separately.

Note: If you already own any of the games contained within this pack, you'll receive additional codes for them via email when purchasing the Bundle.

Wolfenstein: The Two Pack contains two other parts of the franchise: Wolfenstein: The New Order and Wolfenstein: The Old Blood. It’s a perfect combination for both enthusiast of the series and newcommers – bringing the player right across Europe on a personal mission to bring down the Nazi war machine. With Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus Digital Deluxe Edition though, you’ll receive both Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus that’ll send you, on the other hand, to Nazi-controlled America on a mission to recruit the boldest resistance leaders left, and Wolfenstein II: The Freedom Chronicles - Season Passs, bringing the fight for freedom even further. It’s safe to say that this Bundle is the ultimate experience of the series, and a great deal as well.



To top it off, we have a deliciously gruesome release up our sleeves, too – OTXO is now available on GOG, alongside its Soundtrack. With this game, you’ll step into the depths of an abstract mansion, embarking on a heart-pounding journey to save your loved one. Brace yourself for an adrenaline-fueled odyssey through a realm of relentless brutality and unforgiving challenges. Engage in visceral gunplay, where every shot is a ballet of precision amidst chaotic savagery, enhanced by time-bending slow-motion sequences. Confront your deepest fears and unlock the mysteries shrouding the Mansion, forging your path through darkness to reclaim what’s yours.



That’s not all, though – we have a variety of offers, with smoothly cut prices. Here’s some of them:
Vampyr (-80%)
Ion Fury (-60%)
Scorn (-60%)
Outlast 2 (-85%)
The Walking Dead: Season One (-75%)
Turbo Overkill (-30%)
DOOM 3 (-60%)
The Evil Within Bundle (-75%)
Blair Witch (-80%)
Amnesia: The Bunker (-35%)

The Gore Galore Sale ends on February 27th, 10:30 PM UTC – so don’t wait, dive into the river of crimson deals now!

king_kunat: Hey there! If you already own any of the games contained within this pack, you'll receive additional codes for them via email when you decide to purchase the Bundle :D You can then always gift them to someone.

g2222: Are you sure that one will receive gift codes for duplicate items in this bundle?
Because usually it says upon checkout:
"Please note that ($GAME) is included in ($BUNDLE) but you already own this item, and will not receive another copy when you buy this pack."
Answering my own question:
It seems like GOG did change the bundle behavior, but only in this instance. Other/older bundles still show the warning message quoted above. Whether this is an exception or the new norm, I cannot say.

matterbandit: Gorgeous skull artwork! Kudos to GOG's art department, once again. :)
I'm sure you meant gore-geous.

Dear GoG folks, at this point you're actually selecting your public, and you don't want me as a client (I have over 800 games here so no one can tell me I've never been a good customer before).

All I keep asking is a tool that allows parents (and anyone that wants to) to filter this kind of content. Steam is much more family friendly, I'd love to have all my games DRM-Free, but the way things are going I'm forced to do our family shopping (when we as a family select the games we'll buy and play) on Steam.

Please GoG, give us filter options and parental control (also, Porn and Gore should be things that people have to opt in, not be at the front page by default, you know, like Steam).

There are more than enough precautions, this gore sale has its own page, you have to click on it, then on a game and then watch the trailer/screenshots to MAYBE see some blood

Alternatively, you can just wait till the GORE WEEK ends before doing your family shopping, since this clearly isn't the best time :P

Alexim: I hadn't noticed this, it's a good innovation, but you should try to apply it to all bundles already released. It would be even better if the bundles could take into account the games already owned and apply a variable discount based on this.
I'd love to have a 100% discount on a bundle if I already own all contents within, so I could mark it off as owned. Skip the gift keys in that case.

SargonAelther: Bring Wolfenstein: Youngblood to GOG please!

00063: And the missing Wolfenstein (2009) while you're at it.
That too.

Simple solution: parents shouldn't let their children on the store, but rather buy games they feel are appropriate for them themselves
(that aside, I agree that filtering options would be nice)

Sure, that's one way to do it, but there is also another way, which is parents and children shopping for games together, so they have a shared experience. Also, having a family account, improving said gaming experience. Steam has all that, which pains me, because I used to be such a GoG supporter, and now I have to bow to Steam if I want to have said experience - and guess what, that's what we do.

Look, every time I come here in the forum and ask for these features I do so from a place of love.

I'm not here asking for these games to not exist or to have them removed from the site (although my life here has been easier here in the past), I come here to ask for features that are already present elsewhere (on Steam and so on).

Have a look at the Steam Subscriber Agreement and the GOG User Agreement.

Steam:
"You become a subscriber of Steam ("Subscriber") by completing the registration of a Steam user account. This Agreement takes effect as soon as you indicate your acceptance of these terms. You may not become a Subscriber if you are under the age of 13. Steam is not intended for children under 13 and Valve will not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. Additional age restrictions may apply in your country."

GOG:
"If you're over 18, then welcome! If you're between 16 and 18, before we extend an equally warm welcome, please ask your parent or guardian to review and approve this Agreement on your behalf (because in some countries people under a certain age cannot legally enter into contracts like this Agreement). If you’re not 16 yet you cannot have a GOG account or use the GOG services because legally we cannot handle personal data of children without a special parental or guardian’s permission (but your parents/guardians are welcome to sign up themselves)."

GOG is first and foremost a store for adults. They make an exception for adolescents. However, Steam is also a place for teenagers.

I would like that skull if it has white teeth. The way it is is undeniably frightful.

Carrion is a monstrous game, try it!

Independently of whatever they say, Steam provides parents with all the tools for them to manage family accounts (it even has exactly that, family accounts). Be it teenagers or smaller children, Steam is simply more friendly.

If GoG doesn't want to have this public, fine by me, it's their loss, and not a small one. Again, everything I said I did from a place of love and goodwill, I'd love to see GoG thriving and I'd rather my family had what we have on Steam here.

It is what it is though.

00063: Ah i see Blood Bowl is apparently an forgotten game now, that will no longer receive discounts. I'm glad i bought something else when i did, instead of waiting for a non existing discount.

00063: From what i get, that's a pretty bad game and to make things worse it's infested with microtransactions.
As one who has played for over 50 hours of W:Yb I can definitely say, it not exactly 'infested'. While there are MTX, not a single seceond in the game you bet bothered by it. It just some stupid skins nobody needs.

As for the game itself, the problem is twofold:

1. gunplay and fights are super fun, fastpaced and dynamic, and is the level ambient is great. Also your AI-sister is very good at killing and to get killed. And you can play perfectly alone without a Bethesda account.

2. the story is lackluster as are most bosss and layed out in a way that you have to play each level like 10 times. That the game throws new skils and occasionally new locations within these levels at you helps a bit to counter that. But the 'grind' is real and if you enjoy that defines if you liek the game or not.

I would not rate it 'bad' at all but definiteily not 'great' and I don't regret having played it.

But I'd rather prefer to have the Wolfenstein 2009 on GOG.

I hope this helps to clear things up a bit :)

If you want a shared experience, installing/playing the games with them should suffice. You don't have to do everything with them.

If you really want such: there are methods to filter various elements(including games) from the site using custom adblock scripts.

You don't get it.

Shopping, choosing the games and talking about them later are huge parts of a shared experience.

Then you have Steam - which is "where everyone is" (a devs words, not mine) - that simply gives you all the tools to have that, and GoG, which becomes more and more less friendly in this regard.

I'll use a quote from a user (,Keys) from the thread you linked:

"A shame that we must use external tools to do the job GOG Staff should be doing." :(

I'm not "against" Wolfenstein Youngblood showing up but I'm skeptical it would sell well. And we're still waiting on Rage 1 ffs (maybe Bethesda has a remaster in the works or something)

So, it's whatever. shrug

Yes, Steam is more family friendly, since there are not supposed any younglings on GOG.

This is a site for grumpy old gamers. I am pretty sure that you have to declare that you have the appropriate age for the site. All the parent has to do not to allow his kid to come here is to block the website. The tools for that are already built into the operating system.

Btw, does Steam allow a parent to set the filters for his kid without the kid having the option to change them?
