Yeah I see it.

It blows my mind that even in the modding scene quality is irrelevant, only marketing and corporate contracts. GMDX is more the modern update than Revision ever was. It addresses more aspects of design and does so without fucking everything up with amateurish game design.

What can one do...It's no wonder Invisible War, Bioshock et al. happened, and the wide-spread decline in quality from the game industry in general. When I enter indie game dev I will likely be taking the same sellout route, my passions and desires already having taken a considerable hit, yet not before I've ensured the legendary DX has been given the update it truly deserves.

Finally, after the backlash, they have listened to goglodytes!

They will remove the BS' Armello DRM Free Edition! It will be replaced by... the Nothing Edition.

Look at how butthurt you are just because it is not your favourite mod which gets the attention.

Maybe the Revision modders applied to GOG to make their mod more easily available, while the GMDX modders are just scrathing their balls. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure GMDX is great, but it is hardly GOG's or the Revisions guys' fault that that GMDX is not on GOG. I'm sure GMDX could be there to if the modders wanted to.

GOG has featured mod lists and credited their respective authors for a long time now (remember their cheeky "enhance your IE games" posts when BGEE1 was released), so that's true. But the thing is that Revision is being offered as a "product" when you get it as a DLC.

Earliest game on GOG that included mods as extras was Panzer Elite. If I remember correctly.
Besides current trend of including additional mods as extras (and game demo offers) are pure incline as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Taka-Haradin puolipeikko]

Can't manually decide where new version of the Galaxy downloads backups and extras.

Whose fault is that and why he hasn't been chased down with hounds yet?

Could someone cover the controversy for me? Must've flown under my radar. Why was the Armello DRM-free edition a problem?

Edit: Nevermind, I think I got it. What utter asshats. Too bad, seemed like a nice game I've been wanting to pick up for a while. Guess it's piracy, then.

Armello is not the only game with missing content and/or stuff which won't come to GOG, sadly. But with Armello it was way worse apparently.

Can someone tldr; this thing? Is only problem that they didn't want to move DLC's to GoG?

It was a kickstarted game and the gog version stopped receiving updates, the dev's response was more or less "we can't do it because it's too hard for us". And they practically dropped support for a fairly new game. GOG had to start offering no questions asked refunds for the game since the people who were purchasing it there were being left behind in a very drastic manner. Fake edit: apparently they wanted to apply a semi-microtransaction thingy and gog does not really suport that...

In that case, good riddance.

I've received an email saying all my D&D wishlisted games are on sale until April 17. But they are actually not.
So, I guess D&D sale on a few hours in celebration of Don PST:EE launch?

update: I forgot I how much I loved Eye of the Beholder and holy shit I wish I had a crt monitor and a beige-ass desktop to play this on.

no mention of Bioware or Black Isle on GOG's description of "enhanced" infinity engine games. Beamdog taking all the credit.

 

[Baron Dupek]

Speaking about EotB - I hope that my saves from EotB 1->2 marathon are somewhere there not lost....
And wish there was map for 3rd game, either Grid Cartographer or bust (no chance for hand made one).

Why not use DOSBox Daum with a nice Pixelshader? I know it's not the real thing but hey, it gets the job done

 

[Krivol]

Fuck you, now I have to buy it!

Nothing fancy actually. I believe everything's at default, NO Aspect correction enabled, 1080p fullscreen and just select Video->Direct3D Pixelshader->CRT-geom-curved.fx

Would you settle for maps drawn by someone else? There are some of those online.

Would have rated "meh" except that rating is gone.

Expect a couple of "RAGE!"-ratings though, the game has some very zealous haters.
