Considering the content you have in the Witcher games, I'm not sure what there is to be surprised about. Europeans (and eastern Europeans in particular I guess) are a lot less bothered by the whole nudity thing than Americans are.

I'm just biding my time for the Krynn trilogies, both the good one and the bad one (obviously the former first) Fake Edit: Also those two first-person Ravenloft RPGs. I love the interface in those games and Menzo even though 2nd edition D&D is so much wank.

mycot posted:But Lula: The Sexy Empire? Is that just a hidden European darling? It got poo poo reviews when it came out from what I remember, but I guess there's always someone who likes poo poo, so... I mean, GoG went and got Master of Orion 3 and frankly I'm not sure which of the two would be considered the biggest travesty to the "Good" part of "Good Old Games". I've only played MoO3 though, so what do I know? *Edit* I assume getting it was close to zero effort on GoG's part, and if so then why not get it? If 700 morons buy it that's (almost) free money. I wouldn't rule out that someone at GoG has nostalgia for the game themselves either. And lets face it, "Good Old Games" is exactly like "Good Old Days" in that pretty much everything in the old days was shittier but people are dumb and will look back fondly on stepping on a landmine so long as enough time has passed.

Old things and appreciating old things is cool and good and important as well, the dumb ones are the ones who completely refuse to like modern things out of nostalgia and also those who require everything to be new and shiny and want everything old to be thrown away and forgotten. That said GOG.com hasn't stood for "Good old games" for quite a while now. Kanfy fucked around with this message at 23:00 on Oct 10, 2015 |

I could easily go on. Does GOG have a lot of shite? You bet, but Steam has enough stinky-poo shovelware to choke a pod of blue whales with particularly large throats. Like anything else, you take the good with the bad, but acting as if their entire catalog is void of merit is utter nonsense. Do I believe that they sometimes act out of a sentiment of "nostalgia = sales?" Of course, but I and many others are indebted to them for making it easy to play genuine classics that we may never have seen again.

I wrote that half jokingly; I think that GoG has a ton of awesome stuff that I'm thrilled they brought back, but the point is that the "Good" in Good Old Games isn't limited to just the actually good games. Like "Good Old Days", it's about nostalgia which means some good stuff and a lot of not very good stuff. Hell, now that they have movies there as well the site's name might as well just be "Old" since it's neither purely about good or about games anymore  Which I guess is why they decided to ditch the name "Good Old Games" and just go with the acronym that has become an established trademark of sorts. *Edit* Wait, some of the stuff on the site isn't even old! Darn, now what? AG3 fucked around with this message at 23:23 on Oct 10, 2015 |

Not sure what you're quoting me for, I literally just said that old things are cool. Games as a medium have improved over time but we're not talking computers or airplanes here, older stuff doesn't automatically get obsoleted by newer stuff.

If I stumbled upon GOG.com today and checked if my favourite childhood game Eye of the Beholder or Pool of Radiance or whatever is on there the search says no. They went to all this trouble and then hide it away.

I just downloaded and am trying out GOG Galaxy. Is it just me or does it seem to use a lot of CPU and ram? Also - Righteous Fire... there was some talk a while back that this was not included with Privateer. This still the case?

Having a really good time with Night Hawk: F-117A Stealth Fighter 2.0. I think I played the demo that came out with Amiga Power back in 1993, so only 22 years between trying and buying. Always loved those 80s-90s MicroProse sims with their sense of constant progression and awards.

Guessing there is absolutely no way to cheat in GOG's version of Privateer to get past this loving mission? Navigate asteroids and all kinds of poo poo, fight a ton of elite Kilrathi, dodging asteroids, then make it home? Tried more than 20 times. Get close, can't do it. Annoyed. Oh joy.

Well I finally finished Privateer. But after it ends how does one find the Righteous Fire content, or does it just start at some point if I keep on playing? EDIT: OK actually you need to load up Righteous Fire from under GOG in the start menu, and load your previous save game after the intro movie.

Enemy Engaged (both CvH and AvH)could use the fan patch. http://eechcentral.simhq.com/index.php?title=Main_Page Without it your cannons' rate of fire will be set to your framerate, for example. The patch also comes with an awesome Hind cockpit and makes a number of advanced targeting tricks easier to pull off. Don't touch the so-called Enemy Engaged 2, even if you find it somewhere.

Shadowrun Returns: Dead Man's Switch is a such a fun, slightly linear, but well-written detective noir cyberpunk game. Dragonfall adds a lot of RPG goodness to its formula, and I've only just started Hong Kong which so far is great. By the way, the same guys are now kickstarting a Battletech game, and we should all be on that one... https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/webeharebrained/battletech BadAstronaut fucked around with this message at 07:29 on Oct 15, 2015 |

If you're a good enough pilot you can can finish it with your end level ship from privateer easy enough in a couple of days. If you want all the new upgrades you'll be spending quite a while getting enough money for them.

Those new upgrades are interesting but I don't know how hosed I can be to grind out all the missions for them. Kind of just want to complete the story more than get more core gameplay done.
