That's odd, I thought that the first (and redundantly titled) Divine Divinity was the better game. And it's the cheaper? If I play any CRPG anytime soon, it'll be Morrowind, but there's a definite appeal to Divine Divinity's old school look. And I hear it's huge.

Stabbey the Clown has an ongoing LP of Divine Divinity if you want to take a look. And the pricing thing is, I guess, purely on the old=cheap; new=notcheap scale of thinking.

So is Divine Divinity basically a 2D Morrowind, with a little more Diablo-like action thrown in? While I never finished Morrowind's main story, I played the poo poo out of it over several years, so I'm wondering if DD would be a similarly great experience.

Bonus content today: "Free stuff for games that are in the catalogue for some time now are always welcome, right? With this update of additional materials we have some nice bonus content for Heroes of Might and Magic series fans - the first installment receives an ingame soundtrack while HoMM 2 and HoMM 3 get creature tables. But that's not all! We've managed to get our hands on full Gothic 2 soundtrack, so we're updating our existing file with 6 new tracks! The additional materials are available, after you purchase the games, on the “My Account” page."

While I never finished Morrowind's main story, I played the poo poo out of it over several years, so I'm wondering if DD would be a similarly great experience. It's not as deep as Morrowind, but it does have some depth to it. Almost all of the quests are interesting and require some exploration to solve, there are very very few fetch quests or "kill X monsters" quests. NPC's tend to have a lot more character to them then you'd expect. Combat is basically like Diablo 2, with some small differences - you can pause at any time, your choice of skills is independent of your class (you can choose any skills), and there are no casting delays or cooldowns on skills/spells. The toughest thing to deal with in Divine Divinity is slogging through the opening dungeon until you reach the open part of the world. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread to see when Beyond Divinity comes out, as I never played that. (Thanks for the link, kingturnip.)

There's a new game called Risen that's very similar to Gothic 1, but if your PC can handle it I can tell you Dragon Age Origins is the best RPG I've played since Neverwinter Nights.

Honest Thief posted:what's Advent Rising like? I know it's part of a failed trilogy I found it enjoyable when it wasn't crashing or getting stuck in walls. The plot is kind of unique because it's established that humanity is a rare race and were once gods until they were hunted to near extinction. Midway through the game you develop some crazy broken god-like powers like limited teleportation and the game gets pretty fun with crazy battles involving dozens of aliens onscreen. There's tons of potential for it to actually be a good game but... man, Majesco. I don't understand how they're still in business. Those guys are poison. Ironically, I don't think Psychonauts would have ended up on nearly every digital business model if it was published under any other company.

I thought Advent Rising was pretty fun for what I've played of it, but then again, I'm a sucker for practically any game with telekinesis in it. Which reminds me, GoG needs Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy. I'd buy that poo poo up in a second.

There was a free, ad-supported one released some time ago. It's disappeared from FileFront but is still up on some places like Ausgamers last I checked.

Lords of the Realm 2 was definitely the best. It's a medieval Risk, with real time sieges. Once you get it most of the game is spent managing between being a dick to your peasants and feeding them beer to get them to stop leaving.

Uh, I remember buying Sanitarium back then, even though I wanted to buy Rainbow Six. I have no idea why I did it, but it was a fun, classic adventure game that unfortunately crashed a lot and frustrated me at some point somehow. I did finish it like two years later after glancing over it on my shelf.

Someone on SA actually did a really awesome LP of Sanitarium. Its worth reading the whole thread because one of the guys that developed it turns up and starts answering questions and dispensing interesting trivia. Should be up on the LP archive.

Sanitarium! I remember this game from an old Eidos demo disk that came with Omikron or Thief 2. Browsing GOG sometimes is like browsing CompUSA back when I had a 100 Mhz Pentium, looking for $10 Gold Box bargains. You never knew what arcane old stuff you would find (or whether it would run). EA has got to unsquinch its little rear end in a top hat someday and let some of those old EA, Origin, and Eidos titles out of the vault.

I stand corrected, but I still want my old games, dammit. I can't get Thief 2 to run properly on my current system, and would gladly pay again for a GOG version that worked.
