This whole saga might just inadvertently make porno games explode (heh) in popularity. I've never played one myself, but if GOG is giving some away for free, I'm going to download a few and see what the hype is about.

That's a good timing. I'm looking at my calendar and I am due for my workout session anyway...

[–] VonReposti@feddit.dk 10 points 3 weeks ago

You got a calendar for that? I only got a watch to keep track of my sessions

Just a heads up, because of payment processor stuff, most are free on itch.io right now also.

[–] Zorque@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

As I understand it, those were ones that were already free (to an extent, you could still pay if you wanted to before this).

My mindset exactly, may we well see if the juice is worth the squeeze, if you will.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 3 weeks ago (6 children)

Well I hope you don't bust while playing Postal 2. Not really any sexy stuff on there, but you can dump gas on people, burn them alive, and then piss on them.

Also, cats can be used as suppressors.

[–] relativestranger@feddit.nl 7 points 3 weeks ago

don't forget to pick up the original, which is also free. i put in way more hours into it than i care to admit when it was a new game.

I haven't played it, but people say Being a dik game is quite good.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I've heard good things about Hunie Pop. So far it's... uncomfortably sexist. But I guess what do you expect. I'll give it a shot.

[–] whalebiologist@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

It was published in 2015 and it feels like it was written in 2007, I find it mostly funny but I agree it's not be the best ambassador for the genre.

Honestly I think this was cool af. I'm not gonna play any of those games, but we should stand by it for being a cool move.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 47 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Hunie Pop is actually a valid puzzle game on its own merits, with a surprising amount of strategy involved.

Great news, perverts/freedom enthusiasts

I read up a little on what's on offer and it seems that the Leap of Faith game is actually quality, story driven, and deals with heavy subjects like bipolar depression , body image problems and more.

the horniest of them all

[–] whalebiologist@lemmy.world 43 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I'm going to out myself a little bit in praise of the horny games genre. I enjoy comedies, and I've had more laughs while playing these games than anything else I've watched or played in the last few years. So many horny games put you in a place to have good, light hearted fun. Being a DIK (included in the bundle) has so many great moments with Derek and Hell week especially. Being a DIK probably has the best soundtrack and needle drops in all of gaming. Hunie Pop's dialogue is also incredibly funny. If any of this kindles your interest in the AVN genre, make sure you play Eternum.; it's far and away the funniest game and some of the best times I've had by myself wearing my headphones and cackling like a madman.

AVN devs are virtuosos of game design. They are pouring their souls into making these experiences no one will ever hear about because of their sexual content, and subsisting on mainly donations.

Not working for me, just getting error messages when trying to redeem ...

[–] Ethalis@jlai.lu 41 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (3 children)

Same Edit : found a workaround by looking up the issue. Go to this page https://www.gog.com/cart/add/1486951595

It should add the Freedom to Buy Games as a free item in your shopping basket, which you can then add to your account

Worked for me, thanks. I will jerk off in your honour

[–] relativestranger@feddit.nl 7 points 3 weeks ago

this worked. was already logged in. loaded that link in a different tab, went back to the other and refreshed. saw the cart had something, loaded it and was able to check out.

That's their servers being hammered at the moment.

Don't worry, step-brother is on the case and currently extracting the servers from the washing machine.

They should let people buy credits.. Then redeem them for the game they want.

I tried Sapphire Safari. I'm a terrible photographer who keeps getting "mauled" by the hostile animal people. It's awesome! 😃

I'll admit, when I get horny booting up ol' postal 2 just gets me right where I need to be.

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Mhh, apparently it doesn't work in Germany. I only get errors.

[–] ctenidium@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Most of the games are forbidden in Germany, so you have to redeem one by one:

One or more games from the Freedom To Buy offer is banned in your country. If you are in one of the countries below, please go here: https://support.gog.com/hc/articles/29306002386845 This article contains codes to redeem the games one at a time, and will allow you to redeem those games which are available in your country
