Blodskur posted:Tomb Raider: The Last Revelations + Tomb Raider: Chronicles (4 and 5) are now on GOG together for $9.99 and Interstate '82 is $5.99. I never knew there was an sequel to Interstate '76. Is it any good? In addition, what was the issue that kept I'76 from working properly? I bought the game around a year ago when it was on sale, but never played it because of all the problems it had. I've heard that you have kill Windows Explorer to get it working properly, but the GOG forums also have installers that are said to fix the issues. Was there a reason GOG wasn't able to fix it? Plus, does anyone know what the best method of fixing it is?

Blodskur posted:Prince of Persia: Warrior Within is now on GOG for $9.99. Every time I hear something about Warrior Within, I always think of this snippet from a CVG article I was linked to. CVG - 5 Most Disappointing Sequels Ever posted:Warrior Within wasn't necessarily a bad game - it played pretty similarly to Sands of Time after all - it just took an unnecessary turn in direction. The original creator of Prince of Persia, Jordan Mechner, even said the game "sucks, and I hope everyone involved in the development of that title perishes in an unfortunate accident involving super glue, bird seed, and a cage full of mutant cassowaries." Yet somehow, the game already has a 4.5 star rating on GOG.

Genpei Turtle posted:I think it's not as much absolute garbage as people make it out to be. The open-world (though it's not that open) and exploration aspect is good, and the dungeon crawling/combat isn't terrible. From a pure gameplay perspective it's decent, if a bit forgettable. It's not great but not the abomination it's often decried as. I remember hearing that the story was changed during development. I think someone posted a patch earlier in the thread that removes the voice acting and changes the dialogue to correspond with the original version of the story. Does anyone know what was changed in the plot?

AkaiNami posted:Regarding the missing Larry 7: it could also be that Activision just didn't care. During the late 2000's Activision released under the Sierra label four 'classic' collections. Kings Quest, Space Quest, Police Quest and Leisure Suit Larry. All of them included the main games (except Kings Quest, which was missing Mask of Eternity). But because of some huge cartoon 'easter eggs' the Larry collection would have recieved a higher rating than the other ones. So Activision dropped it from the box. I also remember reading that the Larry collection by Activision didn't have the CD version of LSL6. Does anyone know if the GOG version has it? Additionally, I noticed that GOG included both the EGA and VGA version of LSL1 with the pack. They did the same thing with the first game in the Quest for Glory pack, but not with any of the other Sierra Adventure packs ( the King's Quest and Space Quest packs only include the EGA versions of the first game, while the Police Quest pack only has the VGA version of PQ1.) Was there some sort of legal reason for this?

I had been thinking about buying Alpha Centauri and Syndicate for a while. However, Alpha Centauri strikes me as just being Civilization with a sci-fi tile set, and I’ve steered clear of Syndicate in the past because I’ve heard it’s really difficult. I’ve also been mildly interested in the Dungeon Keeper games. I have to ask, though, which of the two is recommended? Also, is Nox any good? The description makes it sound like a humor-filled version of Diablo.

Fergus Mac Roich posted:Alpha Centauri is a Civilization game so if you don't want to play Civ at all I suppose you'd best avoid it, but it's a really good Civ game with some unique things about it like a plot and unit creation. My only real experience with the Civilization series was from playing Civ V on Steam during on of the free weekends. I didn't buy the game, but I liked it enough. My issue with the Civilization series is that I always feel like I should buy one of the more recent games in the series, because I assume they'd be easier or more accessible then one of the older entries.

doctorfrog posted:SMAC's opening salvo of heavily interlaced videotape footage kind of disappointed me when I first watched it, then I ran smack into that quote from Pravin Lal at the game opening screen, and it sort of put a bow on it: this game doesn't just sit around and let you build an empire, there's other stuff going on here. Alpha Centauri does sound really interesting, based on what I've read here in the thread. However, I think I'm going to pass on it for now, mostly because I've got other games I need to finish.

Kiavahr posted:They're at 42 reviews as of now. 41 of them were written today. Here are some of those reviews: quote:Once in a lifetime, there comes a game that changes not only the face of gaming, but the very soul of all who are blessed enough to experience it. Jake Keane 2: The Fire Within is precisely such a game. While Jack Keane 1: The First Jack Keane was met with lukewarm reception and little to no fanfare, Jack Keane 2 propels the series into legendary status, potentially revolutionizing the art of the interactive narrative with its gripping and emotionally-charged story. quote:Jack Kanini: The Angry Fires is the greatest game any plane of existence has ever had the absolute pleasure to bear witness to. With a story crafted delicately from the collective hearts of all of humankind, and a few primates, there is absolutely no reason why you should not purchase exactly 57 copies of this beautiful game that has been handed to us on a golden platter by God himself. quote:I love this game! It is one of the best adventure games I've ever owned. I love how the main character say's awesome one liners and how the antagionist is a evil Sumo Wrestler dragon cyborg! quote:I should preface this by saying that I've been having a lot of trouble with my son. Recently, he's discovered the wide world of the internet as well as computer gaming, and he hasn't been listening to his mother or myself at all. quote:Where were you when Jack Something Something 2 killed the Insomnia sale?

pentyne posted:The wiki is almost essential to learn what game breaking bugs you might encounter and how you can brick your game. Easily avoided by making a new save file each time you save so you can go back to a previous one. Management of the stronghold is also crazy broken and its best to just follow a step by step guide to build it up/organize it. Thanks for the info. Fallout: New Vegas is kind of the same way in that regard, not only in avoiding bugs, but in figuring out all the quest-line triggers for the companions.

Rinkles posted:Curse's standard layout formatting is WAY cleaner, easier to read and plain better looking than wikia's and they have less obnoxious/obtrusive flash ads. Wikia wikis gently caress up the Steam overlay browser without fail because of their ads. Wasn't there some kind of falling out with proprietor of The Vault and Wikia or Curse that prompted the migration? Additionally, GOG's weekend sale is 60% off the Codemasters catalog. What's the general consensus on Overlord? I've heard mixed things about it.
