Accordion Man posted:Here's a neat interview with Night Dive. The part about trying to re-release NOLF makes me seriously angry at current IP law and idiot publishers, though. Then again after Batman: Arkham Knight, WB is already on my list of poo poo publishers so I probably shouldn't be surprised.

What was wrong with Ultima 9, besides than the performance issues/memory leaks and getting stuck/falling through geometry occasionally that is?

I loved that game even though when I first played it (when it came out) my computer couldn't handle it at all so Kabuto parts and base building missions played at <10fps  Didn't they try to kickstart a spiritual successor?

Slightly depressing read here: http://kotaku.com/the-sad-story-behind-a-dead-pc-game-that-cant-come-back-1688358811 No company involved knows if they own the IP, can't be arsed to check, is not interested in any sort of deal that would re-release NOLF and figure out the IP situation, sent lawyer letters instead.

Sackmo posted:I still keep hoping they bring back the old shelf view for your games. I never did understand how they thought the new grid/list was an improvement. So much ugly, wasted space. Yeah I miss the old view too. The new shelf is garbage and the list view is also pointless. And neither lets me display all my games at once like before, nor customize how many games I want to see per page and the filtering is useless. 1A+++ would buy website redesign again.

Captain Scandinaiva posted:Couldn't Gog announce they will be selling NOLF or whatever because of its limbo status? I bet that would get potential copyright holders off their assess in a hurry to figure out the ownership. That was Night Dive's plan, actually. File trademark, see who contests it claiming to own it, make a deal with them. Except it's like three different companies who think they might potentially have ownership, but couldn't be assed figuring this out and doing a licensing deal, but obviously reserved legal action anyway in case Night Dive went ahead with selling NOLF based on the trademark they filed. Sure you could pursue something like this and go to court in order to figure out who really owns the IP, but that's costly and you can't count on the IP owner to sell the game again or make a licensing deal any more than they did before. That said, the original Night Dive NOLF story was years ago, there were newer rumours last summer and maybe not all is lost

I've played NOLF recently and other than some technical issues (fixed by INI editing and in my case capping the framerate to 60 fps in RTSS to get rid of random mouse lag) they played fine? NOLF looks a bit more dated but the slightly cartoony look helps get over the relatively simple geometry and lower res textures. NOLF2 looks pretty good for its age. There were no gameplay issues I encountered that made me think "bleh, games today do this so much better".

If you want any of the Telltale games on GOG you have until the weekend, GOG will delist them on Monday. No discounts, as far as I know.

ErrEff posted:I never bothered to check Cyberpunk's price on GOG until now. $72.93, which appears to be a conversion of the €59.99 price tag.  I think they're doing some weird currency conversions off the local "pretty" price, yeah. The discrepancy of ~$2 is odd unless they're charging you tax (?) once logged in, or they don't detect your computer (for the website price) in the same country your account is using. IMO it's funny enough the European game is just straight $10 more expensive in Europe, even funnier that also applies to the publisher self-publishing the game on its own digital platform. Local prices on Steam have actually gotten fairer for me for a lot of stuff since they stopped charging us in EUR, but certain publishers like Take2 or Ubisoft are heavily abusing regional pricing on Steam and it's almost never worth it to buy from Steam directly. With GOG it's even worse, I don't know if publishers intentionally give them lovely conditions but I haven't bought a game without heavy discounts on GOG since they ditched the fair pricing stuff.

I can understand* people's frustrations with some of the crippled GOG releases TBH because sometimes you have no way of knowing how much a missing feature is changing the experience. Hitman is just a very egregious example. Like some devs/publishers are just crappy and just dump inferior versions on GOG which are several builds old and/or never receive patches even if they're kind of critical. Other times all you're missing is a multiplayer mode no one plays (like reboot Tomb Raider, it even says so when you buy it). So yeah you pretty much have to research every single cross-platform release if you don't want to get a bad surprise. *) Not enough to make a list and curate it but still. at "people should save the world instead!".

Really? I never not had Logitech devices and drivers and I never had any issues with those games  My main problem playing NOLF on a modern machine was the framerate making it impossible to aim because mouse aim was slowing down and speeding up randomly, I had to cap my fps to 60 but apparently there's even a tool for that now.

Ooh yay Scrapland. The disc version was released with StarForce in Europe which made it not run on my machine back then. I think I downloaded a version without that crap, but lost it since. I remember really enjoying the game even though IIRC reviews were mixed at release.

Yeah but the "American McGee by American McGee" stuff was always odd to me because he never seemed to be a rockstar developer on that level, even after Alice (I remember people making fun of basically every game that had his name on it like that). Not on a level with "John Romero's about to make you his bitch." though:

Don't know any GOG specific ones but I just use IsThereAnyDeal for either, it tracks GOG prices and you can set games on the waitlist to only notify when they're on sale on specific stores. For your purpose you could eg. track Steam-activated games through SteamDB and set ITAD notifications for GOG.com only.

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.
