https://www.gog.com/en/game/xcom_2 XCOM 2's like $2.5 right now. The DLC ruined that game for me, but the base experience is solid for that price.

THE BAR posted:https://www.gog.com/en/game/xcom_2 It was free on Epic a little while ago, too…I only bring it up because some folks (like me) compulsively redeem free games posted around and forget they even already own the games before they jump on a “deal.” 😬

It was well received, I just didn't like the focus on named villains, cutscenes, and forced story beats. Original X-COM was, to me, a techno thriller about fighting the unknowable with expendable assets, and this is about as far from that as you can get.

War of the Chosen changes XCOM2 up so much it might as well be a new game (and was priced as such). You could easily play XCOM2 and then come back at a later date and play the expansion and get a totally new experience.

I like XCOM 2 but it and WotC have some questionable design decisions. EU was tonally very similar to the original game and mostly maintained the expandability and mortality of your lads, 2 is basically a superhero game and WotC cements that. I also don't really like its focus on "alpha strike" style fights and basically everyone (including enemies) being able to break the action economy with every other move, but that's personal preference. When everyone can break the "rules" there basically just aren't any rules any more.

I remember beating XCOM2 with nothing but creeping grenade barrages. You ignore cover, the damage is consistent, and if everyone's bringing grenade launchers, you have enough ammo for any mission. The fanciest I did was probably bringing a sniper along to pop bosses, since their stats are so ridiculous in the endgame.

I can relate to that, it felt kind of dizzying being bombarded with prompts and having the characters talk constant poo poo in saturday morning cartoon dialogue. I was a little disappointed to find War of the Chosen was just more DLC woven through the original XCOM 2 game, I was expecting a campaign set after it. Would've felt less busy that way too.

GOG's summer sale started. Sunblaze is the current freebie. I think Contra is new, currently $4. Veil of Darkness and The Summoning too, RPGs I went nuts over as a kid. The Cyberpunk DLC is up for pre-orders too, you get Akane if you preorder but also if you buy one of the games in the current cyberpunk essentials sale.

Loaded question: with the Microsoft having potentially won the FTC fight over Activision-Blizzard (it sounds like there's still the chance for an appeal), what are the odds that will affect GOG's catalog?

Kinda pointless bump but does anyone remember what game it was that killed off flash sales during GOG sales? It was some kinda point and click adventure and it took like 12 hours or something to sell enough copies.

Has the GOG Community site become filled with spyware or something? Went on there twice today (first time to post something, second time to check my hypothesis) and the site just slowed my laptop to a crawl.

It’s just a heavy as gently caress site, I think. Do you own more than 100 games there? I think that might be a factor, at least for the store part. Even on my desktop it takes several seconds to load the front page.

There's this script on the community page that loads, then hides, the links for the six million individual forums they have for each game. If you have a number of "favorite" forums that you keep ticked, the thumbnails for all those forums must load. Maybe that's it?

Just got AOW3 and the DLC for what used to be the discounted price of the base game itself. Finally. Probably would have been more psyched 8 years ago, but it's still a win.

Aces High posted:Very excited to play it for the first time ever Oh boy, it's a very rough game and you need to be prepared for that. But there's absolutely nothing else like it. It's a very reactive game, like it responds to nearly everything you do even when you don't realize it at first. Role play like you mean it.

I'm realising I've gotten a lot worse at AP gameplay after the years of playing polished sneak and shoot games, but it's still fun and the talk parts still stand out. Playing "recruit who is very sure of himself" never gets old.

The trick to AP is to get the completely broken pistol skill that one shots everything. I think there was also one that turned you invisible.

Apparently there's better Win 10 and 11 support in this, including modern controllers. No graphical or other enhancements, just making it run nicer. From the Deus Ex thread/Polygon: quote:The ambitious, yet flawed Alpha Protocol is available for purchase once again. The 2010 game, which was developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Sega, was removed from all platforms in 2019 because Sega’s music licensing rights had expired. The game is making a comeback as a DRM-free exclusive on GOG.com, available today for $19.99, with an additional 10% launch discount lasting through April 3.
