Same thing happens time and time again for games, it really does make you angry. Or they will price the DLC at some stupid price but then bundle it with the game and it is dirt cheap (Saints Row The Third I'm looking at you specifically!)

To be fair, there are franchises that give pretty excellent loyalty discounts when buying newer installments of series you own.

So it isn't all across the board terrible.

True, but it is normally for a new installment in the series and not just some DLC. I know Blood Bowl does it (tempted to get Chaos Edition for $10). It is just that giving a loyalty discount is the exception instead of the norm :(

Never thought much of Sanctum. Okay concept but just didn't hold my interest. And, as noted, their DLC pricing structure was always horribly inflated.

GoG is doing something interesting
GOG Pay What You Want: Divinity Anthology
Sale page
Pay-what-you-want: Divine Divinity
BTA (currently $6.17): Beyond Divinity (currently $1 on GMG requires Capsule)
Pay-top-10% (currently $12.28): Divinity II: Developer's Cut

Never held my interest single-player either, but I played for a few hours one night with a friend in co-op, voice chatting and such, and had a really good time. So, it's good for that, I guess.

I can see that. To me it also fell victim to the 'too many games too little time' issue that we all run across in this golden age of digital download gaming. I think it was one of the first shooter/tower defense hybrids out there but stuff like Dungeon Defenders and Orcs Must Die (albeit third person not first person) supplanted it.

I'm annoyed (perhaps irrationally) that they call it this when the anthology is very definitely not PWYW.

All You Can Eat Bread, Veggies & Meat Buffet!
Bread: Free!
Veggies: $2 per serving/table visit
Meat: $10 serving/table visit

So, is there anything in this anthology that I won't get if I already own these games via GOG/Steam?

So thoughts on XCOM? Part of me wants to wait for a sale and part of me wants to buy it to support the genre of this.

I went ahead and bought it at the Green Man Gaming sale price a week or two ago because I figured I don't mind supporting A) turn-based strategy and B) Firaxis games.

Plus, you get to play it now.

Most games I wait until a sale though, as I'm a Cheap Ass.

Bonuses: Art, Soundtracks, etc (usual GoG stuff). The Divinity II: Director's Cut will be released on the 18th. It definately differs from Divinity IIragon Knight Saga in that:
- Developers's Mode that lets you experience the game from a whole new perspective.
- Divinity Anthology Developer's Journal detailing the 15 years of Larian Games' history.
- Unique design documents such as Complete Quest Design Delivery, Tester's Walkthroughs, and Scripts etc
- Tons of never before seen concept arts.

Largely some people are excited about the console.

Personally I have DIIKS ($6 Amazon DRM free). I want to pickup Divinity Divine. I'm less hot on Beyond Divinity. I'm thinking: just pickup Divinity Divine on GoG for $1. Pickup Beyond Divinity on GMG for $1. And just be happy with my DIIKS.

Great game, if you liked the original or like turn based strategy games you will dig it. You can give the demo on Steam a try, it is a very very simple demo but it gives you a basic taste of how the game is.

Thanks! I realized that I should have asked whether or not anyone knows if people who already own DII: DKS on Steam/GOG will also get the Director's Cut version, or if we have to buy it over again.

No, I wouldn't be able to enjoy it now. It would go right in the backlog till I bet dishonored . I do enjoy turned based strategy games and this looks fun. Only thing is while I am a cheap ass, I might have to buy it from Gamestop for this one. I got to offload New Super Mario Bros 2 sometime.

I realized today I should buy it now to support the genre. I mean yeah I am a cheap ass but non open world WRPG games and JRPG's I tend to buy at full price on principal.

Didn't want to bump the indiegala thread and make people think there was a new one so I will ask here.

If you only have happy hour gifts can you create an account and link all your gifts?

They haven't integrated that into it yet. Hopefully they will down the line, but I doubt it will be retroactive.

Thanks for the info and quick reply. (By the way I took your wheelie record in Sleeping Dogs)

Just a reminder to anyone thinking of buying anything now: we're rounding the corner on October and November/December is usually a period of non-stop crazy deals for Steam and Amazon. Hold out just a little longer!

My body is ready, but my wallet is not.

Bring it on Nov/Dec... still have $600 left in my Steam Wallet
