GOG Summer Sale!
| I'm almost getting POE2 even if it's just 10% off...
| Wow I almost forgot about gog. Thanks for the reminder post!
|
| Why should I choose gog over steam, convince me. The only reason I see is how steam spring sale is over and was short. Didn't buy anything.
| Well, it's cool to be able to run games without any extra steps, but honestly turning up steam to play games doesnt take any time. I don't know. DRM's annoyingness seems to be exaggerated. I only appreciate it's freebies and extra sales.

I like being able to install a game without the use of a client. With GOG I can download the games I buy, put them on a backup drive, and install them later if I wish. I don't think that is possible on Steam with the exception of games that don't use Steam's features.
| >>306942 DRM is like having a refrigerator, but every time you want to open it you have to ask the store who sold it to you for authorization to open it.
| GoG > Steam, 1000%
| GOG >>>>>>>>> Shiteam
| Here's some games you should get
Gothic, Gothic fans should get elex btw.
Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodline
Deus Ex
Baldur's Gate 2, the learning curves will probably make you quit.
Oblivion, Fallout new vegas (and one, and two and three!)
Obviously Va11 Hall-a
never tried stalker, but it looks promising.
Mount & Blade: Warband
and a bunch of gold games i have not listed here
| Idunno, I don't feel like I OWN the games on GOG. Might as well have pirated the exes, who knows if they're legit.
| Got KoF98UM, Kof2002UM and Ys Seven at excellent prices!
| >>309232 >>309367 >>309487 Are you out of internet/have no internet/play on a pc with no internet/steam's site is down? Sorry but you can't play "your" game.
Did Steam closed forever? "Your" game is gone forever with them.
| With Steam, all you get is a "renting license" to play the game. All DRM does is treat consumers like thieves.

Not the gurl that you replied too, but as a person with potato internet, I can answer some of your rhetoric.
Most games can be played offline granted that you have run it once in online mode. If you are speaking about games that have 3rd party DRM, then that's not steam's fault. I personally avoid multiplayer/always online/ 3rd party DRM games anyways, so I have no problem with this.
I have never used GOG, but I doubt those games with extra DRM will be sold there too.
| (oh hey, I did quick google search and Nier: Automata isn't in GOG)
Steam site is rarely down, even when they do (maintenence or due to sales traffic), just read my previous post, you can still play offline. And again, even if you want to play "always online" games, it will only be own for 1-2 hours.
If we still see crappy anti-piracy like DENUVO that almost always fail get the game that they are supposed to protect from piracy, still exist, Then I don't see steam closing down.
| And even if that very unlikely thing happen; IF the biggest digital market place for PC gaming collapse, other than the fact that the industry is fucked, I can just pirate the games that I own.
I already buy them once, I already gave money to them, who gives a crap.
If you want to hate DRM, hate stuff like DENUVO, there's a reason why steam has a lot of user base. Their DRM doesn't feel like DRM.
PS: go back to /tech/ and huddle at your linux corner
| I honestly rather to pirate a game instead of buying it off GoG
I save money and I get a DRM free game that's not on steam and "fight the good fight"
| GOG Galaxy is quite a spectacular shitshow, by the way.
| I want to use GOG but I only have debit. I'd need a credit card but I don't know what credit cards are good.
| >>310159
I'm fairly certain you can pay with a debit card, I mean, I used one to buy off Steam and Humble so it should work here as well right?
| >>310309 like I said, I generally avoid games with 3rd party DRM, so idk much of those games, and Nier is the first that come in my mind so that's what I googled.
Also, if Nier is a weeb trash, then you have obviously not played enough JRPG to comment on what's trash and what's not... just like how you didn't even take steam offline mode into a consideration. Hm... I'm seeing a pattern here.
Also, I rebutted almost all of your points and that's all you have for the reply?
| How about you people stop whining and go enjoy some games? OP did us a favor telling about the sale, go enjoy it.
| >>310468
Somehow it manages to eat up ~70% of my cpu time and downloads games at a whopping 0.1 MB/s, which is but a minor fraction of my available download speed, while hanging up from time to time to keep things fresh.
Idunno, maybe I just got unlucky somehow or some software on my PC conflicts with it, so YMMV, but that was my experience and I did not enjoy it.
| No I can use debit for Steam and Humble Bundle but not GOG because GOG isn't US based.
| >>310415 I wasn't that other person, same id for some reason, so your "pattern" is just your autism showing, and yes Nier is overrated weeb trash shit game, deal with it.
| >>310843 lol not same person, but same id, somehow replying to the same conversation.
Anyhow, you either still spoke about steam without knowing the offline feature, talk about weeb trash without playing enough JRPG, call people autist without the self awareness that having conversation in anonymous board already make you an autist.
Go ahead, reply again, I bet you'll speak about shit that you know nothing about.
| >>311048 this actually does happen tho, saw it in another thread I was in and things got really confusing quick
