Seems like they may have slightly fallen over under demand. I'm seeing 403s when I try to log in.

#12I've bought these games several times before (at discount) for the various OSes and computers I've had. I haven't played many modern RPGs (including Fallout 3+) but have any RPGs since Fallout surpassed it in allowing the player to truly embody an actual path? Not only could you play through making good/evil moral choices, but you could actually win the first game, IIRC, without even firing a single shot (by talking…
Might be interested in this project... http://eternity.obsidian.net (Pillars of Eternity)
EDIT: More info...
This game was kickstarted and is being developed by some of the same people that worked on Planescape: Torment. They recently did Fallout: New Vegas, and are currently also working on South Park: Stick of Truth. Here's a link to the gameplay promo for Pillars of Eternity: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKoDTzea79Y

I ran into this issue as well, as it turns out it's 'cause I already had Fallout from a previous giveaway. If you click the little 'x' beside the games you already have from the list shown when checking out, you can uncheck the box that says you're gifting the pack and proceed to check out as normal.

#14it seemed to work after logging in a few times.
great deal - Fallout 1 (and 2) were amazingly well written and really sucked you into their marvelous world.
I never got the same feeling with the rest of the series - something about the first person view broke the fantasy for me and I was always 'playing a game' rather than exploring a wasteland.

#15GOG is great, but their lack of Linux support is the only thing which makes them falling behind competition.

I suspect that if the only thing hurting them is not supporting ~1% of the desktop market, then that must mean they're actually not hurting at all.
What with their revenue being 2nd only to Steam - who is way more focused on higher-ticket AAA titles than old games at a discount - I suppose that's fair. They really aren't hurting very much.

#17Just goes to show you, if you wait long enough, that game you never had a chance to play but have been eying for a decade will be given out for free... so now it can sit on your hard drive where you still won't have time to play it!!
Now I just need wait for the OddWorld games to start coming out for free... any decade now...

I seem to be getting 404s and 403s at random from the registration form's target URL -- perhaps they've gotten more interest in this offer than they expected.
And now I've just gotten an email purporting to describe my order, which I made through a freshly created account by virtue of never having used GOG.com before.
The email lists seven games, only four of which I've previously heard of, and none of which is a Fallout game.
What is going on over there?

Same for me - just went back to the fallout offer page (http://www.gog.com/promo/fallout_series_giveaway_winter_prom...) and redid the "checkout now" and it then added them to my just-opened account (I was logged in at the time).
