Which games are keeping you company this weekend?



That was a pretty huge Summer Sale, guys! With free games being given out left and right, and hundreds of deals up for grabs, everybody emerged with well-stocked libraries, big smiles, and pleasant dilemmas.

Like: shall I play the magnificent Spelunky that I got for free or should I begin my fourth playthrough of VtM: Bloodlines now that I got it DRM-free? Is it finally time to cash in my accumulated 2-month work leave and tackle The Witcher 3 + Expansions? Perhaps I should go for a quick Shadowrun instead, see where that takes me.

So many questions. But your answers are all that matter!
Will you be playing any of the game(s) you snagged during the Summer Sale? Or are you saving your backlog for a rainy day?

Go on, share your Weekend Playlists with us. They can include single-player games, multiplayer games, console exclusives, anything - we are not judging. In fact, we are sharing too!



Looking for some additional inspiration? The GOG.com releases of the week provide plenty:

- You can search for the remains of your pre-apocalyptic life in <span class="bold">Deadlight: Director's Cut</span>.
- You can mix drinks and stories as you tend to the troubled patrons of <span class="bold">VA-11 Hall-A</span>.
- You can arm yourself with both Artbook and Soundtrack and dive right back into the lovely world of <span class="bold">Stories: The Path of Destinies</span>.
- You can try to reconcile red robots with hairy monsters while platforming <span class="bold">On Rusty Trails</span>.
- You can cut your shape into the fabric of the Old West with your trusty <span class="bold">GUN&trade;</span>.
- You can expand your Solar Empire by looking for new opportunities in the <span class="bold">Outlaw Sectors</span>.
- You can protect and nurture <span class="bold">The Little Ones</span> amidst the brutality of war.
- You and your friend can praise a common god for the good of the community in <span class="bold">Thea: The Awakening</span>.
- You can return to the simulated halls of <span class="bold">MechoEcho</span> and wrestle with the free 10-level-long campaign.

bad_fur_day1: I'm becoming a better wizard in Sacrifice, I'm up to mission 5 with the god James.

hyperagathon: Ah, glad to see it's going well. I actually reinstalled it after our previous exchange, but it took so much fiddling to make it work properly that I had very little energy left to actually play the game (for fellow WINE users, use a clean prefix / remove the overrides). I did a couple of Pyro missions (I never liked Pyro, so ~15 years ago I never even tried), it was manageable, even though the game is both more difficult and more complex than what I remember.
After finishing the WItcher 3 (yes!), it's a rare treat for me (recommended by a good GOG friend), which I didn't see coming:

Odin Sphere Leifthrasir

It's...amazing...

There's a PC release? I remember reading about it in a mag at least 7 years ago.

It's the remake of the PS2 version for the PS4 / Vita!
Mount and Blade Warband this weekend for me.
I've had my eye on Anna's Quest for a year now - Daedalic does good work - so it's been fun to play that game for a while. :)

ShadowWulfe: Finished FFX, but can't get Cry of Fear or Afraid of Monsters to run without crashing on startup.

In that awkward impasse between games.
Thanks for mentioning these HL mods. I've never heard of them until now. Will have to check them out. I've been playing Batman Arkham Asylum for PS3.

Frajalistic:
Just beware because I couldn't figure out how to get them to run. Cry of Fear didn't agree with my PC, and that was with the .NET framework. I ended up playing through Spec Ops: The Line.

Cry of Fear was super crashtastic for me, much like Defiance as well.
Beat Tomb Raider The Last Revelation today after playing on and off, so I guess that was my game for the weekend.

Guess i'm into The Witcher 1 at the moment, though I know gog will release Dragon Age or New Vegas just as i'm in the middle of playing it to mess with me. :P
I got 18 games for $37, which seems like a pretty good deal to me. I'm starting with the X series. The first game, X: Beyond the Frontier, is very confusing so far, but I must be doing something right, as I've got 3 million credits. I was always curious about the X series, but I couldn't really justify spending a lot of money to see what they were like. I'm glad GOG is here to make those kinds of decisions easier.

Just started that series myself. Broke down and picked them all up because I couldn't pass up the sale price.
I'm still just getting used to the feel of the flight controls but people keep telling me not so worry so much because it's NOT Freespace. :P
Dex. I love the art, the story is really good so far (only just started), and I like the combat, it's difficult, but fun and interesting at the same time.
In everyone of these cyberpunk games, I always find the cyberspace sections stressful and/or uninteresting, and while this game is no exception I'm still enjoying the game overall.
Well, it's Monday, but I'll share my past weekend games :D I got both PIllars of Eternity and Divinity original sin enhanced edition because I couldn't choose one or the other at that price - . - Pillars occuped the major part of my gaming time this weekend and I'm glad of that. It's an awesome game! I hope you'll have the expansion pass on sales soon again (whistles).
I like the name Goglins ^_^

It's Monday evening where I am, but here's what I played the weekend(ish) just been...
- Pillars of Eternity
- Youtuber's Life
- Game Dev Tycoon
- Wurm Unlimited
- Little Inferno

I have an enormous backlog so I kind of jump around from game to game a lot, playing a few hours of this and a few hours of that, finishing things at random. I've probably got about 15 different games installed right now so I can just pick up whatever takes my fancy as well as trying to finish up the Pokemon games I have before Sun/Moon releases. BUT I'm going to try to restrict myself from installing anymore games until I've finished what I have installed now.
Yesterday I finished F.E.A.R 2: Reborn DLC. Wow, what an experience! Short, but fun. :)
