    What do you guys think of buying Cyberpunk 2077? I’ve been waiting for it to improve before buying, and with the dlc around the corner, and generally good opinions it seems like a great time to buy.

    Edit: Just bought it together with the DLC, thanks for the recommendations!

      The voice actor of a character in the DLC got to play the new version and she wrote down some of the bigger changes in a thread on twitter. Some of the changes address common complaints like stats being tied to clothing and the police being rather boring. Just as some additional information.

      I paid £20 for it and I think it’s worth it for that price. But not at the £50 it first sold at. It’s not about the bugs or glitches - it’s just a sort of middle of the road game in terms of gameplay and immersion. If you don’t expect too much you will have a lot of fun.

      I paid full price for it when it came out originally. It probably wasn’t worth it then, but it definitely is now. If you can get it on sale, go for it!

      Great time to buy. Probably won’t be cheaper between now and DLC launch. There’s already been tons of changes to balance and the class system, performance has significantly improved. It’s honestly just a really wonderful world and role playing experience. I also highly recommend the short anime if that’s your sort of thing.

    If you’re interested in 4X games at all Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri is only $1.49. It absolutely holds up and to this day probably still has the best story of any 4X game.

    It also works great on Steamdeck with a couple of easy tweaks. Unfortunately the instructions for those tweaks are currently in Reddit blackout shutdown limbo so I can’t copy them here, but when the blackout ends you can Find The Instructions Here.

        If you’re already logged in to GOG that link claims the giveaway directly but doesn’t show anything. If you visit it again it will say Already claimed.

        And if you’re not logged in it will say Unauthorized.

        It works for me. You have to be logged in on gog. The link opens blank page with {} when clicked and claims the game - you should get the email confirmation. Second click on the link should say *already claimed *

    Could’ve just linked to GOG instead of this random website full of affiliate links.

      I get what you mean, but honestly I’d click through their affiliate links on purpose anyway. No ads, no invasive trackers, just Linux news and discussion.

    Love GOG, definitely the best storefront for PC games by far due to their principles. They’re not perfect, but I personally don’t buy if it’s not on GOG.

    Looks like I can pick up Cold Steel 3/4 and Ys 8/9 for good prices this sale, so I know what I’m getting come pay day.

      Would love to use it more, but no Linux support. I’ve tried using it through Lutris, but installing updates is more annoying than it needs to be.

        Same. Minigalaxy bridges the gap a little, but it’s missing critical features that only GOG could implement. GOG have had Linux gamers pestering them for Galaxy on Linux forever. Seems like a natural fit, but they’ve ignored it, teased that it’s happening, ignored it again… I eventually gave up and went all-in on Steam. Valve have done everything they can to make Linux a class-A member of their ecosystem, so that’s where my business goes.

          Yep, I’d be glad to see valve have some competition on Linux, but in the meantime I’ve been greatly appreciating their contributions.
