Way of the Samurai 4 is available now in GOG

http://www.gog.com/game/way_of_the_samurai_4

With the exception of Steam DRM and DLC (only Where Are They Now? Set, Ryoma Sakamoto and Shinsengumi Set available), everything else is the same. The audio is Japanese and the text is English. It is currently 40% off for both the game and the DLC pack.
 
Note to GOG:

Please do everything you can to expand your current game library and I promise I will get whatever I have on Steam worth getting again for my GOG account.

Thank you.

P.S. Thanks for the heads up on that Nordic Games sale rtwjunkie, I got Red Faction 1 & 2 and Painkiller Black when they were all $2.49 a piece :)

...or you can go for individual deals like:
Sniper Elite V2 is a ridiculous 85%off!

v2 is a great game and still a lot of fun. I was recently replaying it and having fun, just got sidetracked with these new games.

At these prices, you can't go wrong. I'm tempted for the SP for SE3, but I think I'll pass for now as I have too much that I'm trying to catch up on for now. :ohwell:
 
I don't think it needs much more explaining. It's a legendary classic isometric strategy game presented using voxels which give it a really special charm and feeling no 3D graphics can ever create. And the cutscenes have always been hilariously awesome :) It's a conflict between Russia and Allies and with Yuri's Revenge the game gets a 3rd unique side to play with (even has its own campaign). And EA is giving it away for free!

Grab it while it's still available (limited time offer)!

Almost worth installing origin for...
 
It's worth having Origin for these On The House deals that EA is regularly running. They are pretty much always old classics which were so epic.
 
Despite being classic Westwood games, I'm still against Origin. They're giving away a game that is well beyond moving units. I like the games, but not worth installing the poison that is EA software

You're going a bit conspiracy theory there. Origin, despite its slightly clumsy design folder wise and for reinstallation without redownloading already installed games, but otherwise, it's a reliable service. Downloads speeds are always high and I've never had connectivity issues. Unlike for example retarded Uplay that has moronic connectivity issues on every freaking game release from Ubisoft and yet I seem to be the only one criticizing and even boycotting Ubisoft. Sometimes I don't understand people...

I don't play Ubisoft games, because of Uplay. It's DRM that is unacceptably clunky, defective, and assumes its customers are stealing. I managed a couple hours of Farcry 3 before deciding Ubisoft doesn't deserve my money.

I don't play anything that requires Origin because EA is a bunch of slimeballs, who have constantly made their developers take blame for crap publishing decisions. Likewise, their service is nearly an app store, with physical copies sometimes costing less than online purchases. This particular decision stemmed from Crysis 2 and Mass Effect 2. which hit home hard because Mass Effect 3 was something I looked forward to. The fact ME3 had a crap ending made me feel as though this decision was the correct one. My decision isn't related to service quality.

I tolerate Steam because the software is often at a great price, the DRM side isn't insanely intrusive, and Valve is a tolerable evil.


What I prefer to purchase games from is GoG. I don't get treated as a thief, DRM is nowhere, and yet they still make money. It's like the consumers want to purchase games, but often the DRM gets in the way of enjoying them. Without endorsing it, the only games I've ever pirated are the ones that I own. Sometimes that cracked version just runs better than the one you paid for. Being forces to pirate, because your game is broken by its DRM, is why DRM has to die.
 
Usually only have Origin installed when I want to play the ME trilogy. Seems like free games wouldn't be a bad reason to keep it installed.
 
I don't find Origin problematic. It doesn't behave much different from Steam and they also have decent deals. These free "On the house" offers and regular deals. It was few months ago when I grabbed few older NFS games for like 4.99€, some even for less. I also grabbed C&C Generals for a really tiny price. It's not all bad to be honest.

I'm not gonna touch UPlay though. That crap is notorious for crapping out on new game releases, prevents you from playing, throwsa you from the game if server connection drops down and frankly, I have Steam and Origin. I don't need friggin 3rd extra client.

GOG Galaxy is exception because it's not mandatory. You don't have to use it, but I do just because it's convenient. I can still opt for local normal installation any time I desire. Which is nice.

if anyone is interested in that new Minecraft/Telltale games collaboration
THIS one here .... then you've likely noticed it's $22.50 or whatever it is pretty much all places it's sold, well i was on GMG, and the 23% off code works on it, bringing it down to 17$ and change. close to $5.00 usd off. i think i wanna wait to see if it shows up cheaper, but i cant imagine it will go TOO much lower.
 
GOG is also having a Square/Enix weekend...I just bought like 5 games for an average of $2 a piece
