Pathfinder: Kingdom and A Bard's Tale 4

Can't those "journalists" even research if they got the names right before publishing their articles?

Who'd have the time to research while their soy lattes are getting cold?

 

[FeelTheRads]

Pathfinder: Kingdom to join such top games as Planetscape: Tournament and Baulder's Gate.

Your big boast is still GOG being DRM-free, but how many people in the wider gaming world care about this? When I load up Steam, it works, so I don't mind it being DRM.

This question made me want to punch the interviewer, ngl

Fairly sure that was supposed to be a soft pitch to encourage the interviewee to explain why DRM-free gaming is important. The interviewer was taking the role of an uninformed consumer, which isn't much of a stretch for him if he can't even recall the names of recent games.

Iron Storm 90% off.
Is it any good?

No

 

[Sceptic]

Iron Storm 90% off.
Is it any good?

Some good ideas and a cool setting, but as a game no, not really. I never got too far in it though.

Old news but I noticed System Shock and Descent are getting a reboot or remade. Is there a list somewhere for all the reboots (and when attempted/when finished)? I know some games I’d like to see rebooted but they’re so old.... I just doubt they’d see the light of day.

Iron Storm 90% off.
Is it any good?

It has interesting setting but overall, it's unfortunately mediocre. IIRC It has it's best bits narratively/interactively in the beginning and in the end, but it's not that great in the early segments where player gets in the real action. Ending has sort of nice idea, getting there, not so much.

sale is coming, I guess?
again, way too many sales yet so little discounts

 

[Nano]

Site redesign just went live for store pages. Example: https://af.gog.com/game/divinity_original_sin_enhanced_edition?as=1649904300

The mobile-focused design is pretty obnoxious, as well as the auto-playing video on the top of the page (though there's no audio). But there seems to be more transparency when it comes to information on the pages, like the system requirements being easier to read, and overall review score changing from just stars to the specific number (e.g. 4.4 out of 5). Also, the reviews section in general is massively improved.

 

[Vorark]

So rare these days to see a redesign which expands functionality. To be able to sort reviews by different criteria or check out what cames bundled in different versions of a game is quite useful.

 

[Baron Dupek]

Everything is so big wtf.
Went to FTL page and instantly launched a video, why. Same shit on Steam - little streaming window hanging there, instaplay.
fuk dat

 

[Goral]

I've checked Age of Decadence page and language changed to Russian for some reason (after some time everything returned to normal). Also, it's interesting how many negative reviews drop out when you check the "verified owner" option.

[Alienman]

Yep... so much scrolling. Looks as soulless as any other store out there now.

 

[Baron Dupek]

A Wild Poll appears!

• Shadow Warrior 2
• SUPERHOT
• Firewatch

One of these games will be free depend on the votes.

There is no choice here, SW2 keeps high price for so long while other two were cheaper and bundled.

and new games!
Soldiers of Fortune 1 and 2, Indiana Jones games... noice
also they started selling bundles, mixed feelings despite good prices

also - some games got better discounts already, good cause I'm tired of whinning

Vault Dweller

A recent review from a verified owner:

"What is the killer of this game though, is the combat. It's poorly done and you get almost no actions, 2 to 3 swings to the computer's 5 to 6 swings. Coupled with the computer outnumbering you in almost every fight 2 to 1, it makes it essentially unplayable."

I wonder what the endorsement from Feargus cost in that promotion video.

 

[Dreed]

 

[Rahdulan]

Somehow, the less I hear from Feargus the better. No adult man should talk like a valley girl to such a comical degree.

[Koschey]

Kingdom Come on its own: 39.99€, including a 20% discount
Anniversary Collection III, including Kingdom Come, Battle Chasers and Shadows Tactics: 21.59€

Battlechasers on its own is about half that price due to a 60% discount, Shadows Tactics on its own is almost twice the price, but at least without being discounted. Makes it less retarded, somehow.

 

[Fronzel Neekburm]

Also, the reviews section in general is massively improved.

Thanks to their shitty redesign a bunch of my reviews got gobbled up. I guess your mileage may vary as to whether that counts as a massive improvement or not.

Also, no more gogmixes. No more pesky reminders about region locks, missing features or out-of-date builds on the game page!

The only change I like is the separate ratings for owners and non-owners. I like it because the scores for actual owners is frequently far lower than the overall score.

 

[CryptRat]

That is totally useless, while what would have been useful is to indicate what came in the game box of old games so you would know what you're meant to use to play the game fair.
