OK GAF, showdown time. My buying spree continues, but I'm faced with a decision. I have two ~$10 bundles lined up, but I can only choose 1 (funds). I need a second opinion, since the two look similarly appealing in terms of content-to-price.
Which of the following is the most bestest?
1. Spiderweb Soft (+ Eschalon) bundle (I already own Geneforge 1-5, though);
2. Wadjet Eye bundle.
Also, is FTL worth it for $2.5?
YEs, buy FTL!

I was ableto get my 360 pad working with little effort. There are a couple weird elements, and you'll still need the keyboard due to not havig enough buttons, but I've been playing missions without needing the keyboard much.

Gog will post the update in your library. You will need to download and install it.

I played Freespace 2 around 3 years ago, and holy shit, what a game. I'd still say it's the best space sim ever. The campaign is one of the best I've played out of any game. It's outstanding, intense and full of memorable moments.
I remember having no problems playing with a gamepad.
I should really replay it sometime, but with the FS2Open mods to make it look better.
So if I just now redownloaded FTL on a new laptop it's the updated version? Cool, thanks!
Can't really speak to gamepad use since I used M+KB, but I played it last year and it was still a blast. There's a massive graphical mod for it (I think it's the FS2Open that rockmanjoe mentioned) that updates all the visuals and effects and whatnot and makes it look pretty great. Once you get that then I think you're still in for a treat.
I picked up http://www.gog.com/gamecard/zafehouse_diaries, was interested in it before it came out. Does anyone know if it ended up been any good?
Sometimes they will just update the single build while other times they will release a separate universal patch that you just run and it install automatically.
Was considering it, but don't think I'd like it. It looks like all exploration and no challenge. It sounds more like a puzzle game than a platformer. Am I missing something? What makes it so special?
I don't really know, but it makes my head hurt. But I like it. It's incredibly hard to accurately define, but that alone would make it worth buying for a lot of people.

I've never played any Ultima game before, but I've been curious about them and that Ultima 1-9 + Underworld 1+2 set is intriguing. Out of those games, which are recommended to play for someone who's completely new to the series?

Just over an hour before most of these bundles get taken down. You'll probably see them all again, but be aware this remains the best day for buying GOG games in the sale outside of the last day.

Time's up. The Fair & Square bundle and Indie RPG bundle carries on for another 24 hours, and everything else will get sent back under lock and key until later.
Looks like today's offer is Fair and Square Selection and Indie RPG Invasion.

Glad I saw this thread earlier. I think I've got enough Might and Magic to last me through retirement... and it feels good.
Done deal!

On a whim, I ended up grabbing Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri last night. Hoping it's good!
Is The Pit any good? I've been wanting a cool roguelike for a while now and I like the scifi theme.
Dunno if GoG version is different but for what it's worth I can't get IW to run on Win7 or 8
Edit: I'm also curious about Retro City Rampage, is that one of the games that's better to just watch an LP of to see all the fun little references?

One of the greatest games of all time, as far as I'm concerned, though there's no doubt a certain hint of nostalgia to that. Today, the tutorial missions at the start would have probably tested my patience, but you should just stick with them with the knowledge that an absolute masterpiece lies ahead.
The last time I played it I remember playing with a 360 controller for the main ship functions, but using the keyboard for a bunch of other stuff. I really don't think you can play this solely with a controller, too many buttons. That was ~4 years ago and the game held up mind-bogglingly well. Get some mods to tart up the graphics(there are lots) and treat yourself to a classic. Fuck, I'm half tempted to go install it again now.

I just dropped by to say you should all buy Guilty Gear X2.
Total Overdose is better than expected. Basically an open world Max Payne. Shame no widescreen mod.
Is Blood 2 any good?
It's decent. It's got a lot of good ideas, but personally I got bored with it quickly.

Thank you to all!
The only other question is whether it'll go lower than $5. I'm looking at FS2 and Planescape: Torment ... and maybe Giants: Citizen Kabuto, another nostalgia trip.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Blood 2 is solid, though it's nothing like the first game, if that's what you're expecting. It's most similar to Shogo, which shouldn't be surprising given they're both Monolith games, running on the same engine, released at approximately the same time. The game is pretty difficult, and I wouldn't recommend it if you don't like quicksaving every 5 seconds.
Some people really dislike Blood 2, though.
Thanks. I think I'll just buy Shogo instead. Never played it back when it came out.

Shogo is definitely the better game. Whether or not it's aged well... I'm not so sure. But it was unbelievably good back in the day.
Speaking of Monolith shooters... why the hell isn't FEAR on GOG yet?

I just checked now-isn't the freespace 2 open stuff completely legal? Who does the GOG money go to?
It's the code that's completely legal open source, the assets are not.
Well I caved and bout the Roller Coaster Tycoon triple thrill pack. I already own the game, but not the expansion packs. It's also nice to have a DRM free version. disc version requires you to have the disc in the computer unless you download a patch.
Not sure about a 1200 monitor, but it looks fine on my 1080p monitor. Best resolution to run it at is 720p so you have widescreen, and so everything doesn't look so small. You'll probably have to have black bars at the bottom and top of your game if you don't want the aspect ratio off.
