FAT WORM OF ERROR posted:I don't understand why they have Broken Sword 3 but not 1, which is a shame because I've been looking to get it again now my disks are really scratched. The speculation is that they're remaking BS1 for the DS so they didn't want to cut into those profits. Still really, really sucks, though.

No wishlist of "games I want to see on GoG" is ever really correct without the Lucasarts adventure games. Speaking of which, who actually has the rights to those?

Is Simon the Sorcerer more like Lucasarts adventure games where they're fun and challenging or Sierra adventure games where if you don't click on a pixel on the second screen you can't beat the game?

Pandora Directive up for 9.99. If anyone's played this, can you tell me if they added wasd movement to the first person parts? Having to slide my mouse all over the place was a bit irritating. Also, are there any more "stealth" sequences in this game? The one in Under a Killing Moon was terribly annoying.

How is the character customization after character creation? Are there any options as far as things like "builds" go or is it just a matter of getting new items and finding new spells? Comparisons to D&D would be pretty useful.

To deviate from the speculation and inevitable disappointment, does anyone know how to get Dwiggs to work with Age of Wonders Shadow Magic? I downloaded Dwiggs 5.0, patched it up to 1.4 using the unofficial patch, and then installed Dwiggs on top of that. Now my game won't work, and I have to uninstall/reinstall it all to get it back to 1.4. I set it to use Custom Resources > Dwiggs in the Config menu. Should I have downloaded Dwiggs 1.4 or something?

ToxicFrog posted:Would someone who really enjoyed The Longest Journey (but hated the way Dreamfall ended halfway through the story with no sequel in sight) like the Syberia games? Syberia isn't as "epic" as The Longest Journey and the protagonist sorta becomes a non-character in the second game (from what I remember), but gameplay-wise they are very similar. I think Syberia may even have better puzzles too, as I don't really remember a bad puzzle on the level of the inflatable duck, but it's been a while. The soundtrack kicks rear end, too.

Devil Wears Wings posted:Weekend promo is Anuman games 50% off. Includes: Amerzone is a Myst-like game set in the same world as Syberia, so something that is like an inch shy of wondrous. I don't think I played past the third chapter though because of a weird bug that allowed me to entirely skip the second chapter. I liked Still Life well enough when I played it back in the day, except for that bullshit cake-making puzzle. You'll know what I mean if you ever play it. Haegemonia was fun, sorta like a precursor to Sins of a Solar Empire. I recall it coming out around the same time as Master of Orion 3 and completely overshadowing it in every way, but MoO3 lowered my expectations in a way that playing anything else afterwards would be an amazing experience.

gmq posted:I'm thinking of playing Baldur's Gate but I'm not sure if I should buy both of them or just the second. Any suggestions? The first is a weaker game and takes place in the worst levels of D&D (1-9? If even that far?) However, there are some parts in part two that you would get more out of if you had played part one, not the least of which are all the various characters that pop back up again. I'd say get both because they're both classics, but if you only have money to spare for one, just go with the second.

Hakkesshu posted:I'm actually really surprised no one has just straight up copied the MC formula for an XBLA game or something. It's really simple, but a lot of fun and works well for multiplayer, too. And there aren't any other games like it so you could probably attract at least a minor community. This description makes the game sound like Sacrifice, with possibly more terrain deformation and less using creatures to attack. Man, Sacrifice was awesome.

Andrigaar posted:Speaking of Space Hulk, has anyone here played the remake they did? It was 3DO/PC and had a bunch of fancy (for the time) pre-rendered sprites. I don't remember too much of the original Space Hulk, but you should check out Alien Assault if you want something very, almost suspiciously, similar. The game is either balls hard or I suck at Space Hulk, though.

Agrias120 posted:Looks like this weekend's promo is half off all Might and Magic games. I might pick up M&M1-8 now. http://j.mp/o0ldq8 I never thought of them as low budget, but they are just old. Might and Magic 6, especially, did not age that well graphically. It is still a fun game, though. That being said, I really wish someone would make a mod or something for Might and Magics 1-5 (at LEAST 4 and 5!) so that they have more modern UI amenities. God I wish I could mark my minimap or know what my items did without having to refer to a guide. But for old school dungeon crawling, it's hard to go wrong with the Might and Magic series.

Cemetry Gator posted:But early on, it does a lot of things modern First Person shooters do. Ultima Underworld is a corridor shooter with regenerating health? Anachronox isn't a particularly fun game to play, but it's a fun experience. The real strength of the game isn't the gameplay, but the characters, ideas, and dialogue. It's just really funny and entertaining, even if the actual gameplay is not. I think Anachronox probably would have been better as an adventure game, honestly, but I can't complain too much about what we actually got (aside from the fact that it ends on a huge cliffhanger). Going through Wiki, I found this: quote:Hall remarked in 2010, "If I don't do the game in the next 10 years, I'll just write up the rest of the story and put it on my website for closure, how about that?"[ Only 9 more years to go, folks

Out of curiosity, is there a reason to play the PC version of Ultima 4 if you've already played the NES version? Wikipedia doesn't really state that many differences aside from the party limit, but the NES version looks (and sounds?) much nicer.

Not that there's been much competition in that particular genre, but still, it's pretty fun. I don't think it's even that hard to get into, seeing as how I figured it out when I was like 8 or so. There's no in game tutorial or encyclopedia, but right clicking on most things will tell you what it does. Master of Orion 1 is still pretty good, but a lot more basic.

I'm fairly certain the quality of the story is inversely proportional to the quality of the combat in each of those games. But you should probably get Planescape. Just be prepared to read and not really care much about min maxing your characters so that you can kill entire rooms at once. That's not what the game's about!

Rascyc posted:Half the game was buggy. That's pretty much it. Quest triggers wouldn't work, crashes occured all the time. 3DO never fixed it after released, so MM basically ended with this as its swan song. So I guess the moral of the story is that longstanding, classic RPG series should end at number 8.

DOUBLE CLICK HERE posted:It's weird how people seem to be giving it genuine 4-5 stars. Anyone not in the know might mistake it for Good old game. The first part is pretty intriguing until you realize that all the buildup doesn't lead to a very satisfying conclusion, to say the least. I can see people giving it a 4-5 star rating if they assumed the game ended on a cliffhanger when Lucas goes Matrix/Super Saiyan for the first time. And then of course these guys didn't put Heavy Rain on the PC. I think what really irked me the most about Indigo Prophecy was that the hype building up to it was filled with marketing spiel about CHOICES and whatnot. Being young and naive at the time, I actually thought, wow, how are they going to make a game where you're the cat and the mouse? How tense! How awesome! But no, all the "choices" and divergence pretty much occur in the first scene. And then at some point you play QTE basketball and QTE boxing.
