Anno 1404 Gold has been released. Currently on sale for $10, regular price will be $15.
Many people consider this to be the best game in the series, definitely highly recommended if you like city builders.

Anno 1404 Gold on GOG? Awesome.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
One of the interesting things about that coming to the store, is that it's one of those titles that was saddled with uPlay's always on DRM, if I'm not mistaken. Would be cool if more of the games with that issue made the leap over.
Nope, ever since the Steam version of the game had TAGES removed, it's basically DRM free.

Went under my radar but Darkest Dungeon has been released on GOG. 20% debut discount still going too.
Also, is there any particular reason as to why GOG doesn't have any MOBAs? Steam has 19 - they can't all be completely reliant on Steam's backend, can they? I mean they'd all be useluss without an internet connection, but I'd still like the option to move out of the DRM-locked stores.

DRM free and "account required to play" are not exactly compatible ideals. I'd guess that's why they're missing.

There are games on GOG that require an account for online play, I think. And is there nothing without an account? Just jump in and play?
LurkerPrime

Requiring an account to play online is a very different thing from requiring an account to play at all.
As to your questions, what do you mean, a singleplayer MOBA? There are none that I know of; it's kinda missing the point of them. They aren't like RTSes (which have campaigns and skirmishes against AI), instead they're purely multiplayer in nature... Which makes sense, because the genre was born in a multiplayer mod for an RTS (Warcraft 3).

How's Grim Fandango aged?
I hope Starbound being there means Stardew Valley is going to release on gog.
I had a few graphical issues and random crashing in the menus. I managed to get it working after seeing a forum thread.

It's definitely a start. I can see something like this leading GOG to expand its selection to something a little more interesting.
Sorry for late reply.
I played it on PS Vita, and found it delightful. Expect bugs -- it's inevitable, given the age and translation.
But I still felt emotional at the end
saying goodbye to Glottis
I played the demo at original release on PC back in 1998, and my wife bought me the full game in 1999.

Bought it off of your recommendation.
Some of the puzzles can be real jerks.
I recommend the spoiler-free walkthrough.

Also, saving often is a good idea.
Agreed.

I already knew Starbound was coming to GOG (well, they were interested at least), but I wasn't expecting Early Access.
Eh, when it's officially out of Early Access I'll probably buy it to replace my Steam copy.

Might be a bit late but Codename: Panzers Phase I and Phase II are available on GOG, Cold War Crisis is also on its way: https://www.gog.com/news/neuerscheinung_bcodename_panzers_phase_i_phase_iib
Developer accounts on the GOG forum use orange font coloring. Pretty nice but I wish the forum would get a general overhaul at this point. So many annoying bugs are still unfixed. Even Galaxy doesn't seem to make much progress.

Jesse Cox Picks Games sale! Ends in five days.
Lots of good stuff. Divinity, the Witcher, and Age of Wonders would be my picks.

Huh. In a rare bit of good news, Shantae and the Pirate's Curse is listed for preorder: https://www.gog.com/game/shantae_and_the_pirates_curse
That's cool. This game is unbelievably good, and I'd recommend it to people who want a 2D game that's actually on par with the classics.

Yeah, why is Undertale not on GOG? I would gladly buy it again if it appeared there.
As far as this weekend promo goes...nothing for me right now. Although I'm more interested in the "wee bit of a trickling" that Judas (GOG employee) hinted at.
ShadowOwl
Member
Hm, why? You can already get it DRM free via Humble Store.
I hope this isn't another case of GOG deciding for us that we don't want the game.
Roberto Larcos
Member
For me it's that Galaxy can handle the updates. As far as I'm aware, Humble doesn't have a way to do this automatically?
ShadowOwl
Member
That is true, but Undertale is not the kind of game which gets a patch every few days. Since release (Sep '15) there has only been a single patch (Jan '16), so you shouldn't worry too much about that.
In this specific case that decision would be insane.

Hot.
I wonder if they turned it down long before it became popular.

This, plus the fact that unlike the impression I had of Galaxy pre-launch it doesn't allow the addition of non-GOG games. I've come to like launchers. Even Steam has this feature.
Adding to the DRM-free library-specific clients is now itch.io, who released their client recently.
Meanwhile they've featured this poor-to-average rated game on the front page before. But hey, it's an adventure game! It fits the GOG aesthetic.
