I don't really like Star Wars.

Its working pretty well on my R9 280X. I did have to run the resolution patch to fix one AMD specific issue though (crazy/jittery starfield).
But I'm still not giving them any money until they offer the Collector CDs for X-wing and TIE Fighter. It even said in the store for a long time that they were included together with the floppy and 98 editions. They fixed the text recently, but I still haven't seen any statement from GOG about that. Does anybody know what's the deal with that?
It is a great game to fire from time to time, but the UI is really inefficient.

I know, I'm a regular on the GOG forums.

Is Republic Commando any good? Always wanted to try it...
Yeah, it's the last good Star Wars video game. It might look quasi-popamole at first, but it's got some really brilliant setpieces, and while the squad mechanics are very simple, they are also very organic and fluid. If I had to draw a comparison, RC is like a much better Rainbow Six: Vegas (also both of them were released around the same time iirc)
EDIT: Okay, scratch that, it's not the last good one. Empire at War was released later than RC.

It's like Swat 4 mixed with Halo and it's very good for what it is.

It's very good, better than most wadjet eye titles individually and with some hard puzzles, with multiple endings too.Is it any good?
I have not played an adventure since King's Quest II. I think it's time...
edit: i just realized that 'wadjet eye' will not mean anything for you... they're most of the current competition.

It's so good that if Primordia was a food it would make your tongue slap your mother
(Please buy 5,000 copies so that we can get MRY to make more games. kthx!)

There is almost no overlap between KQ2 and Primordia -- they may nominally be in the same genre, but that's about it. You can't die in Primordia, the interface is via a mouse (not a parser, with one exception), it's much more serious, it has a considerable amount of dialogue, the puzzles employ a different kind of logic, it's much less open, there's no score, there are fewer items and less optional content, etc., etc. Really the only commonality is similar camera angles and the fact that both have inventories and inventory-based puzzles.Is it any good?

Players seem to like the game -- something like 97.5% positive reviews on Steam, 4.5/5 on GOG, 8.8 on Metacritic. Major critics were pretty negative on it. The Codex seems to like it. So did NeoGAF, so that suggests a pretty broad appeal. I think some players tend to overstate how good it is -- in my view, it is not in the same league as the really good adventure games of the 90s, but compares favorably to stuff made later. It's about 6 hours to play. I think $3 is a reasonable price for it, though my preference at this stage would be for it to be free or $1.

Hehe, nice. My CDs don't work anymore and I don't care about the steam versions I have.

Oh, Jedi Academy would be very nice indeed. It's one of my favorite SW games, it promised pew pew+light saber action and it delivered. 12 years old me struggled hard in that stage where you were supposed to fight Bobba Fett.
Just in case anyone's wondering, GOG is having problems working with Firefox. They're working on a fix, but for now "If possible, please try using a different browser. The affected sections of the website should work on a dirrerent browser than Firefox, but may fail as well if that other browser doesn't have any part of our site in its cache."
I was getting various rendering anomalies and a blank checkout step when I wanted to order... Primordia.
