have seen this on mydealz already, they even say that you won't get any game that you already have ...
only problem is that this is only about games you have on GOG not on Steam.
So people with lots of steam games should think twice ... you could get something nice but the chances are not that slim that you have the game already if its something good ^^V

I tried twice. Got one $3.39 game and one $3.99 game. So that range from $5.99 - $44.99 is bullshit.
And both have shit reviews. Sooo... yeah. GOG's favorites that everyone should try... >_>

Have seen that before, mystery bags are just bad indie games one after another, trying to lure people into gambling thinking they will get some AAA game

and notice how the "44.99" games are probably games that are in a sale all the time for like 90% off
they give saint's row 4 as an example, i seen that game in sale every damn time...

so yeah. fake sales, game is at full price like 1 day a month...

i started to loose faith in gog after this "gamble" bullshit...
you don't even know the "pool" of games.. you are blindly giving them money hopping it gets you something..
everyone should know, in casinos and lotteries the house always wins. i just hope in a few years don't see gog turned into an internet pachinko machine...

Yeah same tried it twice for the sake of it, 2 $3 games, should have just looked at $3 games and picked something I would actually like

I'm guessing the pool of games is 99% poopy and maybe a few expensive titles that will be given "randomly" to a few youtubers ,tbh i was secretly expecting them to have loaded it with good games to build up positive reactions before churning out the poop XD

Same thing happened to me. Got two games that were $3.99, and one of them is currently on promo, which would have cost me less than the $3.00 I spent on the pinata.

Most of GOG is trash indie and old games nobody cared about. People have to beg just to get relevant titles to gamers looking for nostalgia and modern DRM-free games.

gonna have to get this! Deadlight was a very enjoyable experience. I wonder how much is really different in the director's cut

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

is it only 360 controller compatable?

unfortunately yes, because it was published by Microsoft. You could use something like x360ce to use your controller as a 360 one, though.

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

I thought this was something related to viva pinata O_O

 

[Deleted User]

I tried it and got Cossacks 3 which I had never heard of and am never going to play. Don't take your chances with this, it's not worth it.

I must have gotten lucky, I just tried and got the game BlackGuards 2. It's a $20 RPG, I guess I'll download it and try after class today.
