GOG offers community favorites for half off this weekend

by Mike Schramm on Oct 2nd 2010 3:00PM

Assuming you're still buying games from GOG.com after last week's shutdown stunt, there are some excellent deals to be had this week on the site's "Community Favorites" list. All of the games on the list are half off, which means you can pick up Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition or Myst: Masterpiece Edition for just three bucks, and Psychonauts or Syberia for just five.

Sure, the site may have played a little too hard on your heartstrings with its fake story of shutting down for good just to promote a site revamp, but everybody appreciates cheap, classic PC games, right? And even if not, you can always go grab one of those iPhone games instead -- that's a great sale, too.

PSYCHONAUTS FOR FIVE BUCKS! YES!

@AltairtheAssassinwhokillstuff
Good deal. I got it on steam, though, for 2. Gog.com is still awesome though, don't get me wrong.

@anoffday
Steam may be tolerable DRM but GOG is zero DRM. Sign me up! I was just thinking how it would be really convenient to have Freespace 2 from GOG...then I could mess around with it on either my PC, or mess around with it in VMware or WINE on my mac.

@AltairtheAssassinwhokillstuff
I got my copy of psychonauts for 1200 msp on xbox live. Worth it.

@delicatessen lama I got my copy for $50 the day after it came out. Worth that and more.

@sigma8 Don't forget that the majority of games from GoG come with soundtracks, wallpapers, arts, manuals, reference cards and other nice little additions on top of the no-DRM game.

I love GoG! :D

Picked up Arcanum for $3.

One of the best games ever!

@Ezio Auditore da Firenze
I was considering getting this as well.

Seriously debating on getting Arcanum, The Longest Journey and Psychonauts. I've played them all, but don't own them anymore. I'm not sure I ever owned Arcanum, think I played my roommates copy back when it was new.

I have Steam but viewing this article reminded me to play The Longest Journey and it's sequel again.

Yo Schafer. Yeah, im talking to you! Where's my Pyschonauts sequel?

Bought 6 of the games yesterday. I'll wait a while before downloading the bigger ones because the GOG.com downloader isn't compatible with the new site (yet) and people are getting timeouts with the http downloads.

Myst for $3?

Sold.

Psychonauts, definitely.

Interstate 76. B)

Psychonauts for five bucks?
Okay, I'm in.

Damn it. I bought Arcanum, The Longest Journey and Syberia thinking I had my fill (already own Pyschonauts on PC and Xbox, shh!) and now I see a few of you posting Myst. I owned it before, but my PC at the time could not handle is so I never played it. Now I feel the peer pressure. :(

You know, I literally JUST picked up Psychonauts at the regular price from them earlier this week.

Why does this always happen to me?

@ouenwoof Oh, man, I know the feeling. It's not like it's really a big deal, it's just a few bucks, but it's frustrating all the same.

At least with GoG, you don't miss out completely on bundle deals when you already own some of the games, like you can with Steam.

Just last night i picked up Psychonauts, Myst, and Duke Nukem. Earlier this week I picked up Bulders Gate and Planescape: Torment.

My god GoG is punching me in my wallet.

How good is Arcanum? It looks like Diablo and that's one of my favorite series, so would anyone recommend it?

@Xiegfried Arcanum is great, but it doesn't play like Diablo at all. It's a lot more akin to Fallout 1 and 2 if you know how those were. It's an extremely deep RPG, open world where your stats and your actions determine a lot about what happens. It has some of the best atmosphere and one of the best-written stories in video games, but it's apparently not for everyone as well.

@Rather Dashing

I think I'll give it a try anyway. For three bucks, why not?

@Xiegfried
Arcanum is pretty good but it's broken as hell without the Unofficial Arcanum Patch. Arcanum High Resolution Patch is also highly recommended. Oh, and firearms suck in Arcanum so you should probably create a melee or magick character for your first game.
