Nonono, that’s it!!! I totally missed the link :)
After fiddling with my original CDs back two years I gave up and installed these! Wide-screen, stable, high resolutions, perfect! I was so happy fans decided to get them running again!
A friendly reminder to everyone: there is a fan project, part 1 and 2 updated to run on modern systems. They have their own page, the full games can be downloaded from there, and they just work. Just Google the title and fan update.
Oh man, I hope so!
I prefer their games over anything Bethesda/Diablo/whatever stuff.
Their games, as clunky and weird they sometimes are, have soul and passion. I’m playing Risen 2 at the moment, and I just love the world. So much too see, every corner has something to find, even if it’s just a bottle of Rum.
I started to play a year ago, but dropped it pretty fast. Though I really liked it.
If they put in the effort and implement a good save game system and proper mouse/keyboard controls, they can have my money!
I lowered the difficulty, and I were able to kill bigger enemies with the weapon of my choice. But they became bullet sponges. There’s no fun in that. I too prefer 2016, I like my shotgun.
Rated PG. It can work (The old Mortal Kombat movie), but this looks like crap.
It’s Retro Man Cave! I had no idea he had a new name, no wonder I have not seen him in such a long time!
I was expecting at least one Thomas The Tank Engine cameo somewhere!
Well, time to get Witcher 3 installed again…
Depends. I enjoy a card game or sudoku on mobile.
But for real games I use my PC. I don’t understand people going crazy about the steam deck too. Who in their right mind enjoys for example Cyberpunk on a tiny screen, that’s like watching Dune on your phone. What’s the point?
That makes it ok to get screwed? Well then…
Exactly. Valve/Steam wants their title only on their own platform. As does Epic with their financed title. So I don’t get that exclusivety thing. Everybody’s doing it. Some more, some less, but they do. Oh wait, gog did publish their own titles on other platforms as well.
I’m still waiting for the Half Life games to be released on GOG. I wonder why it will never happen…?
First thing everybody has to learn about computers: Don’t get attached to a brand/company.
2015 the core i7 gave me the most performance for my money. Last year it was the 7800x3D.
I had mostly AMD GPUs, but last year I got a 4700 because it’s power consumption was unbeatable for the performance it has.
Always buy the best stuff you can get for your money, don’t give a fuck about the companies.
And please never forget the Multiverse of Soldier of Fortune 2, with their alternate timeline of Robot Humans. That was for me the most rediculous thing in my gaming career!
If I search for something specific I now usually ask chatgpt and describe what I’m looking for. The results are often (not always) far better.
I don’t want to click through 50 pages of unrelated shit anymore.
To be fair, it has gotten a lot better. Games rarely get censored anymore. Dying Light 2 comes to mind. The Index also has become rare, also the complete confiscation.
But yes, I’m with you, the authorities have to go, the European classification should be enough!
That name rang a bell, I was not really sure why. I just went to my bookshelf, and one of my oldest books I actually started to collect was the novelization of the movie Total Recall (the Schwarzenegger one), written by - Piers Anthony!
I had no idea that he was pretty famous, I loved that book, but never cared about the author, time to change that! Xanth series, you say? I will definitely check that out. Thanks!
Yes, the RX 6600 is even cheaper and a great FullHD card. Two years ago I paid 600 Euros for that card because my old one broke down (worst timing), and that was the cheapest card to get at that time that did not suck.
Last time I checked it was at 220 €, good price (again).
You’re absolutely right, what pisses people of is that you can’t do shit without launchers today anymore, except for gog.
The Discs are yours, regardless if it’s a license or not, they just work whatever the publisher says.
Always on, Games as a service and game launchers and all that shit is a cancer that has to be cured.
I bought it blind on gog when it was on sale, visual novels aren’t my thing usually, but it did not have the anime look so I thought I gave it a try and drop it after half an hour.
Turns out it was one of the most impressive games I played these last years. What a mindfuck!
And the ending warmed my cold heart!
So I wanted to watch a review on YouTube, and what! The! Fuck! I had no idea how different (and gruesome) this game could get! Soon it’s holiday time, and it’s on my top list of things to do! Let’s see how I can fuck things up!
