500 games on GOG.com ready to download and play.

[url=http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/fe73e414/" target="_blank]Enter the GOG.com 500 Games Giveaway here![/url]

Leisure Suit Larry--a great example of the classics that got us here, or you can pre-order Omerta: City of Gangsters--a promising Mafia crime sim that's showcases the quality & variety of the kinds of games that GOG.com will continue to release (new and old!) in the future.

We owe all of this to you--our gaming audience--and we're extremely grateful. This is as much your achievement as it is ours and that's why we're giving away 500 games to thank you. To enter the giveaway, simply tell us, [url=http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/fe73e414/" target="_blank]after clicking the link[/url], what's the next big step for GOG.com. Should we land on Mars? Create a small DRM-free country on some lonely Pacific island? Create an evil A.I. that will threaten mankind with endless tests? Just type a few words for a chance to win one of 500 games. You can get some extra entries by sharing, tweeting, and following us on social media. You're not joining any mailing lists or signing up for anything. We just need your e-mail to send the game. The giveaway ends next Thursday at 10:59 AM GMT. Join it here: [url=http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/fe73e414/" target="_blank]GOG.com 500 Giveaway[/url]

Thanks again, and see you at a thousand games!

GOG achievements? Now that's a bad idea. A STEAM-like client? Another bad idea. Who thinks up this crap?

Btw, thank you gog for not requiring spybook to enter.

As for the idea of a Steam client, if I wanted the Steam experience I would have bought my games from there and called it good. I'm not opposed to a client, just as long as it doesn't become a requirement fine with me. I already have enough programs that want to run in the background I don't need anymore bloat.

Are their tweet detector bonked or I've doing sometihng wrong with "tweet about it" step. Every 12h between login my tweet option +1 reset. No matter that FB step is unaviable with lack of account.

Oh wait, I originally thought this meant that someone would win ALL 500 games on the site. Oh well, a free game is always a good thing.
Posted January 21, 2013
Well I suggest: no third-party services.

But keep up the good work. :)

I suggested to continue adding publishers. Personally I can not think of any improvements over GoG's current state.

I suggested GOG try at getting two giant games from Square Enix: Hitman Absolution and Deus Ex HR. Both come from a publisher that is already signed with GOG, and would greatly benefit GOG financially. In addition, they aren't overrated for their popularity as I've heard. These are games I've put off buying because they were Steam only.

As for the giveaway, it would be nice if there were a better explanation for how it's going to work.

Ehhhhh, I thought DXHR was an ok prequel that had the spirit of the original but Hitman: Absolution on the other hand.....

I'd rather see them add Contracts and Blood Money.

What do you find wrong with Absolution? As said, haven't played it. Was going to boycott it completely until I found out they re dubbed the game with Bateson's voice. Furthermore, the game is just as hardcore and open gameplay as previous games from what I've heard.

With HR, yeah I completely agree it's not as great as people make it. What didn't go wrong here?:
Nobody likes extremely scripted bosses that are selectively vulnerable and invulnerable, especially without an adequate plot reason. The boss battles in DE 1 were straight and to the point, which worked well enough even if sometimes they were a bit anticlimactic.
They shoehorned 3rd person into a game that didn't need it, and whose fanbase never asked for it.
The melee system. In other tactical shooters where melee is often a highly miscellaneous option, where using it is challenging but rewarding to pull off, DE HR's melee system completely breaks immersion and gameplay simultaneously.

- more publishers (LucasArts of course)
- more classic games
- more new AAA games
- user profiles

Good luck GOG. You're changing this biz and that's cool.

I and Im sure MANY others would appreciate it if you would not leave those of us who refuse to use FaceBook out of being able to enter contests. Before there was FB there were simple ways to enter a contest. At least supply alternate ways to enter. It makes those of us who refuse to use a social site feel as though we don't matter even if we have purchased numerous games from you. It's a slap in the face. It's smells of being illegal as if you are discriminating towards those without FB access.

I don't think Rafflecopter requires Facebook anyway. Did you actually click the link?

I don't use Twitter and have abandoned even limited use of FB, yet I had no problems getting 5 entries. They've provided numerous entry methods, go read the text wall on the entry link.
