GrandpaPants posted:But Dreamfall was entirely worth it for the one scene that still sticks with me, when you get out of a cab and walk into a grimy alley on a dark, rainy night, and as you exit out of the alley, the camera pans out and shows the familiar vista of Venice's central square in a state of ruin. The soundtrack was particularly great for that part, even though it was just the opening intro to an indie/pop song. The song in question is 'My Darling Curse' by Magnet. I like the song, so it was a pleasant surprise to hear the intro when I got to that part of the game. (The musician is Norwegian; possibly a reason they went with it.) As for Dreamfall, I either got stuck or burned out at a certain point and watched a Let's Play for the rest of the game. Even if the gameplay wasn't particularly compelling, I did want to get to the end of the story.

steinrokkan posted:Dramfall had a dreadful story, horrible characters (they even ruined April!) and no puzzles to speak of. I struggle to recall anything positive about it. After loving TLJ I was very disappointed in Dreamfall. The story was just so flat and uninteresting. The imagination of the original was lost and the game lacked direction and content. I think the only character that I was attached to in the game was Wonkers.

The Temple of Elemental Evil gets yet another update. Looks like this one is all polishing and bug-hunting. The only 'new' thing here is a tweaked world map that includes the new expansion content. The fact that they're still finding and fixing nasty bugs throughout the game goes to show just how rushed it really was, and how dedicated the fans are.

Aceofblue posted:I just finally bought The Longest Journey today in the Viking Sale, and I'm pretty excited. I've been really craving a good old-school adventure game lately since when I'm finally done with school for the day, I'm too tired to play any of the action games I have. The Longest Journey is one of my all-time favourite adventure games. The story is wonderful and the puzzles are fairly intuitive for the most part (save for one notorious one early one). It's also a pretty decent length so you won't beat in 2-4 hours like some adventure games. kingturnip posted:As for Dreamfall, I either got stuck or burned out at a certain point and watched a Let's Play for the rest of the game.

All it really, really needs is an expanded list of feats and prestige classes, but that's well out of reach for the otherwise exceptionally dedicated modding crews out there, sadly.

Don't give up hope...but on the other hand Keep on the Borderlands rising back up seems about as likely. I can't fault the guy on account of being a new parent and all, but man do I hope some sort of community collaboration can get going with the guy just steering a bit as his time slowly re-avails itself.

Used to play those games so much and the ones on Steam just aren't enough. I don't even particularly want Dreams or 6 for their gameplay, but Dreams just have an incredible charm to it in its music, graphics and setting. Keen 6 is more for the sake of completion, Keen 4 has always been the top Keen for me. THE BAR fucked around with this message at 14:19 on Oct 30, 2012 |

You can't be serious because GOG never even had any pretense of having a requirement that for a game to be accepted, it should be good or classic or popular. Of course, this doesn't mean that they wouldn't listen to requests or follow the games voting in order to know what titles would be likely to sell well and are therefore worth pursuing. Also, officially, the name GOG stopped standing for anything a while ago. They're now just "GOG", not "Good Old Games".

Sure the Rollercoaster Tycoon games are a lot better but I have fond memories of playing the old Bullfrog game as a kid. Also Powermonger, that was an awesome game.

It will always be Good Old Games to me. That's what it was at launch, that's what inspired my initial interest, and that was 95% of the content until very recently (the other 5% being Not As Good Old Games). I am just hoping that their success will sway more big name publishers/rights-holders to jump on board so they can keep delivering, well, good old games.

BiggerJ posted:So, how unbelievably low are GOG's chances of signing a deal with Lucasarts now that Disney owns it? Well because they were bought wholesale it isn't like the distribution rights have split up into an unfathomable mess, so actually fairly good. Disney wants to make more Star Wars films so they might well be interested in a proposal to breath life into some of the older games.
