I was eager to try GoG Galaxy but... it's quite poo poo. I'm getting full speed with the GoG downloader while Galaxy just drops to 0 - 100 kb/s after a few minutes and stays there. I understand it's still just beta, but I'd kinda expect it to have the simplest download management features by now. Can't even pause them.

Galaxy downloads at full speed for me but since I don't own too many GOG games it's just another piece of useless DRM for me, like the Social Club for GTA4 (and 5 from what I understand) or that Ubisoft thing.
I'm glad the downloader exists.

So i downloaded the first 26 gigs and now it says 26/50 gigs to download so uh, yeah, I guess it's 50.


e: Nevermind, I guess what happened is after downloading and installing the game, it decided to download the installer (which is 23 gigs).

That's probably just showing the download size from before they downgraded all the graphics.

Here's to the new us.
Is there going to be a Steam preload or is GoG going to start getting snooty about their games on Steam like other companies with digital storefronts?

I mean, is this unusual for a AAA game? Or is it just unusual for CDR because W2 was nohwere near as hyped as this?

Most publishers seem to make a huge deal of it when a game sells 1 million units total, so reaching that number before the game has even launched is impressive.

I hope CDR continues doing well and making awesome games, so congrats.

Also, I had a question a couple pages back: I'll paraphrase it here and maybe you can answer it: Are there situations in W3 where you fight someone and win, but the cutscene has you lose for plot reasons? It happened three times in W2 on Iorveth's path and it sorta ticks me off.

The game is actually big enough that I can't say for certain, but not that I'm aware of.

Nvidia is probably in love with CDPR. Or maybe the opposite? Perhaps it is mutual...
(I would assume the game copy included with graphics cards counts but I know nothing about the how that poo poo works so :shrug: )

I worked pretty much exclusively on Rome. Ask me about the weird spawn behavior in the ruins mission and I can help (i had no idea what I was doing).

I'm currently replaying it and the Ruins is my next mission. Isn't that the mission where you don't get attacked in the first part if you spared Shaheed? Actual gameplay consequences from your actions, that was loving awesome!

Will the (likely it seems?) commercial success of Witcher 3 significantly impact on Cyberpunk 2077? I've heard the teams are fairly separate (?), but I'm hoping there'll be some sweet sweet cash to be injected into that project. The world needs more sci-fi RPGs.

It's still a week out, I don't see a big issue since they're doing the preload so early. Hope it's not an issue once the game's released.

I got mine from amazon, it came about a day after the card arrived on my doorstep. So about 6-8 days afterwards.

Did you register with NVidia? Newegg sent me a code to register at the NVidia site, and then they either send you a code or ask you to log into GOG and activate the product that way. Had it all done the same day, no issues.

He eats it in a cutscene later on so maybe that balances it out.

Has the save import been discussed by the developers at all? If the non-import / unhandled choices act like Mass Effect and just assume the shittiest option I can probably finish TW2 in a week if I powergame it on Normal.
