I have to tip my hat off to these guys. They really seem to be trying to walk the walk.

The Kins posted:There's now pages up for Fez and Don't Starve, though you can't pre-order them yet. They're released May 1st and April 23rd respectively. Ooooh, I completely forgot that Fez was coming to PC. I've managed to learn almost nothing about that game other than the fact that it gets weird, so I'm excited to get to the party a year late.

All I know is that there is something more to Fez than it appears. Excited to find out.

Do not even DREAM of playing the game as it is. It was ridiculously rushed out, and the publisher decided to shoot for a lowered age rating at the last minute so a bunch of content and quests had to be ripped out, too. Get the Circle of Eight pack straight away. http://www.moddb.com/mods/circle-of-eight-modpack You want the 'NC' version - it adds a ton of new content to the game, but it's all branching off a whole seperate quest hub that you never need to visit, so even if you only want to play the vanilla stuff, just don't travel to the city of Verbobonc

I knew the game was a disaster unmodded but I hoped the gog version would include it.

Is it not worth playing a little first if I have never played it and am unfamiliar with the D&D mechanics and stuff? Does Circle of Eight changing the basic rules mess with the tutorial or anything? I am about to get into it myself.

The CO8 mod doesn't change anything in the base game, except for fixing bugs that Troika left in. It is a great game though, and it's possibly the most like an actual D&D game you can get on the PC. Amazingly I enjoyed it enough unpatched for me to get interested in the other D&D PC games.

Book of Unwritten Tales is 75% off. I bought it at full GOG price and found it really good, at five bucks it's a great deal if you like adventure games. I am especially fond of the section that is a tribute to infinity engine games

I know I didn't really come off on the right foot here a couple weeks ago and sorry for that, but I've got a question. I've been trying to contact GOG support multiple times for over a month now because I misspelled my email address when I changed it and they've never gotten back to me. It's gotten to the point that its just bewildering. Would you guys know anything about this or am I screwed?

You can't login even with the misspelled address? If support isn't helping out start pressuring them on other fronts I suppose like Facebook. Just don't be an rear end about it and I assume whoever's in charge of their PR will warn whoever's in charge of their support.

Accordion Man posted:Thing is I don't even know what spelling mistake I made so I don't really know what it could be. I have been polite and explained the problem well enough though so its not like I've been raging them at like a neckbeard. I would contact them on Facebook like Saoshyant said, whoever is handling the page seems to be on top of answering questions and comments. You could also make a quick throwaway account through a different email and post a thread on their forum, as well.

Accordion Man posted:I did the latter, thanks for the advice. Hopefully this all works out. I had a weird billing issue (I went through paypal, and paypal registered the charge, but GoG didn't, they added the games to my account within a day of me sending them a message about it) so I at least think they have smart people in their service department.

John Murdoch posted:I thought that was Jonathan Blow? Quick summary: - won the IGF(?) cash prize multiple years in a row despite never releasing the prize-winning Fez in that time period, bragged and asked others to "suck his dick" over it - tactless twit who will either back out of or claim he's "trolling"/"putting things out there" when called on especially lovely behavior

Yeah, Phil Fish may be insufferable, but FEZ is definitely worth it. I'm looking forward to playing it on the PC.

He was also going to "loving kill" his ex business partner. You should watch "Indie game - the movie" at least for the team meat audio commentary. It's hilarious!

He recently said the 3DS was a stupid gimmicky console and when people called out his game for running on a gimmick mechanic he told everyone to gently caress off, he was just kidding guys lighten up suck my dick yo. Fish is a big loving baby and one of those people that needs to have Twitter taken away from him. He's almost as bad as Penny Arcade's Mike Krahulik who goes on Twitter rampages but at least everyone universally hates Fish as a person while Krahulik has an army of blind loyalists that will harass his enemies to no end.

Tron 2.0 coming to GOG with the fanpatch integrated needs to happen, because Tron 2.0 is probably Monolith's best game.
