You can add [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/machinarium_collectors_edition ]Machinarium[/url], indie gold nugget, to your very own ‘Best of’ collection for only $9.99 with 8 wallpapers, full soundtrack (which costs $5 extra elsewhere), 8 avatars, 22 artworks, 114 design sketches, available today on GOG.com.

You may have thought Czech are famous only for pilsner, dumplings, Eva Herzigová and [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/vampire_the_masquerade_redemption" target="_blank]Vampires roaming the streets of Prague[/url]. Now, thanks to a few brilliant people from Amanita Design, the Czech Republic is also known as the homeland of trippy point-and-clicks, giant robo-junkyards, and mechanical cities. In Machinarium, you find a small robot named Josef lying on a scrapheap, kicked out of the strange city of robots. You need to get back to the city to confront and defeat the Evil Black Cap Brotherhood that terrorized robot kind and took away Josef’s girlfriend. The goal of Machinarium is to solve a series of puzzles and brain teasers by clicking on objects that are within Josef’s reach. So, it’s a typical point-and-click, but in the same fashion as The Triplets Of Belleville is a typical animation.

[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/machinarium_collectors_edition ]Machinarium[/url] is hands down one of the most beautiful games for PCs ever. Of course it’s a matter of taste, but the colored pencil drawings, eerie music, and the clever conversations that involve no dialogues but rather pictographs all combine to create an ethereal atmosphere like in Le Voyage dans la lune or Metropolis. Extraordinary amount of work has been put to detailing the world to perfection, allowing you to discover all the small and big things that make the story of the little robot so artistically unique, brilliantly crafted, imaginatively realised, and fascinating to play. Machinarium is like reading your favorite book in a strange fantastic language you find yourself comprehending after the first few lines.

There is no game quite like [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/machinarium_collectors_edition ]Machinarium[/url], and you should not be reading this right now. Instead you should be immersed in the imaginative and memorable robo-world for $9.99 only, available now on GOG.com.

Emualynk: What is wrong with you people?
THEY JUST RELEASED THE FUCKING NEW WEBSITE, THEY STARTED RELEASING THE NEW GAMES THEY SAID THEY'D RELEASE. SO OF COURSE THEY'LL BE NEW GAMES FOR THE TIME BEING THAT DOESNT MEAN THEY ARE GIVING UP ON OLD GAME.
FFS, STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT EVERYTHING.

No. I don't know a single SANE person who hasn't got Machinarium DRM-Free already. There are HUNDREDS of Good old Games in GOG's reach. They just decided to release games everybody already own. It's a big failure for me.

serpantino: No worries. I don't mind this new direction, I just would have preferred them doing it on a separate damn site instead of ramming it down our throats and making GOG a mess and taking away it's meaning. Indie games have been really poorly implemented into the site...
Yeah, but you know, it's about making people who visit GOG to buy those indie games.

If they made new site. GIG.com, most of us wouldn't go there, and the sales would be poor.


Not sure if the sales are going to be great here, though, as most of those indie titles were already on HIB or other bundles, and most of us already have more than one copy of Machinarium.

Looking at bestsellers list, only Legend of Grimrock is climbing quickly up, but other games not so much.

And this.

Barry_Woodward: I'd classify Machinarium along with games such as Braid, Limbo and World Of Goo as new classics. They absolutely belong on GOG.
Also this.

I'm so happy when GOG releases stuff I'm definitely not buying here. Keeps my wishlist slim and healthy.
Posted March 29, 2012
I already got this, I hope they have a sale this weekend! I got some birthday money to spend.

Maybe. But buying it for 9,99 is just insane, iny my point of view.

Where's Theme hospital FFS!

Maybe there are. Maybe not. It's GOG staff who know what games they can sign.

But it's not the case about this whole Indie games on GOG thing.

It's about attracting more people to join GOG and buy games here. With bigger sales GOG will be able to make LucasArts join them.

ps. I'm not sure if Machinarium or Trine are the best way to do so, because too many people already have those games - just as you said.

That's why I think Legend of Grimrock way is much better - new title, which is not available yet, and some people will register to buy it here, and they may stay.

Merchito: When GOG told us about releasing newer games, I was not against the idea because I believed it was going to be an addition, not a substitution. I expected Good Old Games were to still be released on Tuesdays and Thursdays, while newer products were to be released another day of the week.
But now that it's obviously a substitution to classics... meh...

I'm not. I agree with the guy because the last three release days have not featured classic game releases. Maybe we'll see one next week???

and people are already removing their preorders since it's widely known that buying Grimrock on author's original site you get DRM free copy AND steam key.... fail again, imho.

So what, it's better to have no release today than having some other games in meantime? GOG staff confirmed a lot of times that acquiring an old game is not so easy, as the rights are hold by different companies and a lot of them is hard to get contact to as they don't exist anymore.

You people are strange, so GOG should make no release, that would be better, yes?

And I don't have Machinarium so I may pick it up during a sale.

I'm also disgusted by all the people bitching and moaning like a 3 years old stupid kid that didnt get his stupid toy.

All the trolls, stupid, negativist people that bash gog after only 2-3 days of the relaunching campaign. It didnt matter for you that gog promised multiple times they wont abandon the classics, you just want your stinky cake NOW and if not you bitch and moan like youre really crazy.

Those short minded ingnorant people.

Just go away to a different site, all the rest we'll feel better when you'll take your trash with you too. Bon voyage you short minded fools.

Great release GOG ... a game worthy to be here.
Keep up the good work and dont mind those damn stupid fools who cannot think more than 1+1=2.

Definitely. I think the discussion is more about GOG's strategy for releasing the new games than the release of Machinarium itself.

The difference between these indie releases and some old games ist not just old vs. new but also their availability. While these indie games are a good fit for GOG, they are not a priority for many users, since they already are easily available DRM-free elsewhere for more or less teh same price and working on modern system. Anyone knowing about them and really interested in them already had the possibility to buy them before they came to GOG (excluding Legend of Grimrock, but even that one is now sold to almost the same conditions by the developers on their own website). A lot of old games on the other hand are not available anymore and don't run on modern systems without tweaking.

So while it's cool to release indie games, it would be wiser to do it on the side and reassure the users who come here for the old that they'll still get at least one rare classic per week. I don't see much sense in releasing all the indie games at once and then going back to the old games for a few weeks without releasing anything new etc., if they want to keep as many customers happy as possible.

A quick shout out to all the brown nosed individuals.... you can be offended by people who dislike the lack of an old release all you like but at the end of the day, if people don't complain then GOG won't do anything about it.

Having no old release and one indie release hurts a lot more than having an Indie game and an old game released on the same day you wouldn't be losing anything even if they did facilitate those of us who're unhappy. So you can skip the self entitled rubbish, a lot of us came here for old games (the clue is in what gog stood for), games that are hard to get working, hard to find or unavailable everywhere else. Indie games easily purchasable from elsewhere are not a good substitution and people have long been stating that 2 game releases a week isn't enough.
