Aces High posted:maybe the same reason we don't have Full Throttle. Actually for some reason I keep thinking that we don't have Full Throttle yet because they're fixing stuff, every time I have played it through an emulator a lot of the music cues don't work. Sad really because Full Throttle is one of those games that just isn't the same without its soundtrack If it's anything like what tripped up the ScummVM version, the fighting minigame is what'd probably be the problem.

It's because of Full Throttle HD that it's not on GOG.

hey that's even better  Although outside of just making it able to run on modern systems I don't see what really needs "remastering" with Full Throttle. I always felt that it had the best control scheme of all the SCUMM games

The thing to take from this re: Activision vs Disney is that when Disney has a better track record than you when it comes to rereleasing old products, you're a stupid oval office.

Disney makes tons of money releasing old products because they are primarily a movie studio and that is what they do.

A month ago I started playing Torchlight and was kinda wishing GOG would carry Torchlight II. But then I got lost down the Din's Curse Demon War rabbit click hole and I just don't care that TLII's out now. Even with the unabashedly garbage graphics. I can't stop playing this ugly, ugly game with bad sounds. Zombacite would be something I'd look forward to if it didn't literally reuse every single asset from Din's Curse. C'mon Soldak, that's like Jack Benny levels of being cheap. doctorfrog fucked around with this message at 22:53 on May 25, 2016 |

Tell me about it. I've recently got sucked back into Borderlands 2 after about 2 years of not playing. Loot driven games are one hell of a drug.

Looks like they announced this a bit early and took it down, but I have the article still in my RSS feed so... GOG have announced a new feature called GOG Connect that lets you connect your Steam account and add SOME of the games you own there to your GOG library. The exact list is ever-changing, because nothing is ever straightforward, so you'll keep having to go back as the offers change if you have OCD. That's how they get you. EDIT: It's up! If you own these on Steam, you can add them to your GOG library over the next five days: Bit Trip Runner Braid Breach and Clear Breach and Clear Deadline Broken Sword Director's Cut FTL Galactic Civilizations 3 Mount & Blade Project Zomboid Saints Row 2 Shadowrun Returns Sherlock Holmes Witcher Enhanced Edition The Witness To The Moon Trine Enhanced Edition Two Worlds Unreal Gold Unreal Tournament VVVVVV Xenonauts The Kins fucked around with this message at 14:27 on Jun 1, 2016 |

I keep on copping an error when it tries to look for eligible games but I assume the servers are probably taking a pounding at the moment.

It's telling me I have no eligible games even though I own a bunch of games on Steam that are on the eligible list, so I'm guessing we need to give it a day or two. e; I just tried again and it loaded first try, so looks like the rush is over.

Like others mentioned, apparently you can get lucky and refresh enough times that it recognizes your games. I added 6 to my account that I had on Steam but not on GOG and it worked nicely.

I wonder what's motivating this. I'd guess, throw some sales away that you probably weren't going to get, to get a rush of new users on your platform? In that light it makes sense to only periodically add games to this list. doctorfrog fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Jun 1, 2016 |

Does it give them info on your whole library, and what you pay for games? Could be useful information for them.

It finally went through for me and now I've got Saints Row 2, Braid, Bit Trip Runner and Xenonauts in my GOG library. I'm happy about getting the GOG version of SR2 since I've heard it fixes a lot of the bugs that the original steam release had.

I couldn't get the Connect thing to work for me at all yesterday, but it worked fine this morning. Honestly I'd love a reverse service: if I buy something on GOG, it automatically adds it to my Steam library too.

Apparently they added Surgeon Simulator today to sync. This is going to be really annoying if they keep adding games randomly with the 5 day time limit

I've seen lots of people buy the game twice just to have a "steam copy". Steam doesn't have to cater to anyone, they're #1. Gog is trying to get more people to consider them as a viable alternative so they're doing everything they can to sync people up.

I wishI own every wing commander game for some reason, are they worth playing? I tried playing 1 like two years ago and thought it was balls hard, then it turns out to just be the in-game arcade game intro but that was enough to sour me on it because it felt like crap when does the series get good? Does it get good? What is the pre-elite dangeorus star pirate game of choice? Also tie fighter and x-wing are relics of their time and don't hold up so don't say those either e: why isn't commander keen on gog? where's mystic towers? I can play cosmos cosmic adventure and hocus pocus all day but the two best games of that era are only on steam and I own them there but dang it cmon.

XW Alliance isn't bad. Independence War is really good too, but coming from XW and WC "spaceplane" simulators the switch to newtonian physics can be the cause of much swearing.
