Awesome. I'm already logged in, I can add other games to my cart and check out, but if I try to select "Timeless Classics" it gives me a login popup that then resolves in a 404. :gogtears:

I had that problem for a while, it's probably due to their servers being overwhelmed. Just try again in half an hour or thereabouts.

I managed to get around that by just closing the login prompt and clicking on a different present. Then I got Surgeon Simulator 80% off so it wasn't really worth it.

They removed the banner for free Fallout from the homepage but it's still available in the lower-right hand corner.

I wonder if GOG is doing this because Interplay will lose distribution rights at the end of the month.

Good on them. I already bought Fallout 1 and 2 from GOG years ago, but I'll gladly get Tactics for free as a parting shot. I have a feeling that once Bethesda gets a hold of those three games, they'll disappear from GOG and never show up again. I don't think Bethesda has any games on the service at all, and I doubt they'll start. Which is a drat shame because I sure would like to buy id's old catalog of games on GOG.

Maybe they'll be cool and make them free forever like Arena and Daggerfall.

Probably not.

I had my doubts because I didn't care very much for the developers' previous offering, Hard Reset, and because remakes of classic(ish) games are something to be inherently wary of as far as I'm concerned. Shadow Warrior 2013 turned out to be a surprisingly good game, however; I can't quite remember the last time I had this much fun just slicing and slashing dudes and demons to pieces with a sword. I do have some minor quibbles, but at least one of them may actually be getting addressed at some point and the rest aren't nearly bad enough to drag the game down any.

Granted, I did buy it for like ten bucks during the last Steam sale, but even at twice that much I'd still easily feel like I got my money's worth.

Which quibble are they patching?

Tactics is awesome. It got shat on a bit for not being Fallout 3, but it updates the classic fallout combat in a pretty good way. I like the do the one-unit-at-a-time initiative style in turn-based mode. It stops the whole "waiting forever to do something while people shuffle around" issue that Fallout 2 had.

Tactics is alright. It's pretty good as a game, but it lacks a lot of the things that make Fallout "Fallout" and not just another post-apocalyptic rpg. Real weapons, no bottlecaps, and the setting is just grim rather than absurdly dark. The story has some merit though, to the extent that Bethesda basically took it as the justification for the eastern Brotherhood and their schism with the Outcasts.

Got me the whole Freespace set now. I think I'm tapped out on GOG until they wrangle Starlancer, Freelancer, and Crimson Skies out of Microsoft. Perhaps by kidnapping someone's dog?

Yes, but be prepared to die. A lot. It's got a lot of different solutions to things that it doesn't quite spell out, so it's easy to think you're on to something and wander into an area your character isn't ready for.

Not patching so much as they're apparently planning on adding an arena/survival sort of mode to the game. No idea whether it'll be free or paid DLC, though I'd totally put five bucks down for that.

I just want to actually get to use the Nobitsura Kage for any length of time against regular enemies—I didn't like how you got to use the fully upgraded, altogether badass sword against a small handful of demons only and that was it. (Not counting the final boss fight because that really isn't the same thing.) I mean, even HL2 let you mess up all sorts of poo poo using the supercharged Gravity Gun for more than two minutes.

It seems like it would be awesome, but the controls are early 90's as gently caress and I never managed to get into it because of them. Aiming was really hard thanks to the tank controls.
