GK1: It works through DOSBox but the entire process is completely automated. It starts in fullscreen and works flawlessly.

Ridiculous. Games cost money to develop. Then they are offered for sale. Not paying for them is stealing. Not paying for them does not in fact mean you would pay for them if you couldnt get them free. There is no money lost unless you presume the pirate would actually buy the game. Which, common sense suggests - he/she wouldn't. Name one dev that kicked the bucket because of piracy (not because their games sucked and no one would buy them), and I'll agree to everything you say.

Ridiculous. No major publisher has ever provided evidence that piracy has really hurt their sales. I quote this from a rock paper shotgun article. That aside, many forms of DRM are in no way connected to piracy or at least its hard to prove they work against it. Btw the DRM and hassle people have had activating their DLC over Mass Effect 2 served absolutely no purpose. The pirated version was up three days before the official release, free of all DRM, and even included the DLC. Thus DRM is useless and pointless. And Mass Effect 2 was a very light case of DRM. the Ubisoft case is completely senseless.

Alright people, i pulled down a list of Activisions published games. I trimmed a lot of unlikely games to show up on GoG but I left quite a bit in still. We can expect something from the following: * 007: Quantum of Solace * Armed and Dangerous * Asteroids * Autocracy * Barrage * Battlezone * Battlezone II: Combat Commander * Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain * Call of Duty * Call of Duty 2 * Call to Power II * Civilization: Call to Power * Cruise Ship Tycoon * Dark Reign 2 * Dark Reign: Rise of the Shadowhand * Dark Reign: The Future of War * The Dig * DOOM (Collector's Edition) * DOOM

Purkake's wet dream.

Keep a walkthrough handy for Gabriel Knight - its not easy. Don't forget to save, Gabe can die.

Its back, Arcanum is available. GK 1 as well, Activision deal signed. I'm so bad.

Uhuh

Based on a similar formula? Will that suffice? Jeez

More sad, Miss Jensen published all the GK stories as novels and never made much money

Its a matter of conditioning. I don't have the patience for adventure games anymore, unless they're top of the line stuff like Machinarium. I'm a bit jaded there because the genre is kept on life support for years, almost completely through mediocre games. I grew up on Broken Sword, GK, Lucasarts titles etc so i can't stomach what passes for adventure games these days.

Did you notice that Dan Brown basically sold the GK3 plot with the Da Vinci code and made millions?

They were better than most Sierra/Lucasarts adventures. The tone is what differentiates GK games, they're much more serious than the Sierra/Lucasarts school of things. A professional writer is behind them (Jane Jensen) and she did a damn good job. They really are must play, its not some obscure title from the dung heap of history - Gabriel Knight is up there with Grim Fandango, Full Throttle, Monkey Island etc. And better in many ways.

I played the third one first. I still like it the most. the first one has some wonderful music, from what I recall. Never played the second. They were cool games, with a very mature approach to storytelling and characters. Edit: 1 hour left people.

I understand the small breasts issue. young girls with small breasts are pedo material, but its kinda late to think about this now. I dont understand the other issue.

They're both crowd pleasers that use cheap trickery to get you emotionally involved, the first a kid and a woman, the second a completely fairytale romance. Add to it sweeping, dramatic music, uncharacteristic length (for hollywood films) used to full effect, intense "action" and you've got the "epic" feel of Cameron's films. I like his films but he's not showing much desire to do anything else, which is kinda disappointing. Aliens is a perfect example. A great movie - but far from the artistry of the original. Ridley Scott can also be accused of following the crowd pleasing formula with Gladiator (which I think is rubbish), but at least he has two artistic masterpieces to fall back on (Alien, Blade Runner).

Heard of this about an hour before the topic was posted. The whole deal is disgusting, and I'll have no part of it. To Ubisoft I can only say:

I LIVE good thing there is always someone's computer to hijack while mine is taking a picnic in graphic card land Yep, I'll just add that they were both published by Sierra and there are some really good games in that catalog - so there's a lot to look forward to. I hope they'll release the second Gabriel knight, its hard to come by.

I have to take my PC to be serviced and the card to be changed. See you around in a few days people, you have my interspecies love

GOD DAMN IT my old sheppy is lvl 47. No bonuses for me. Noooooooo, my graphics card overheated.... No ME2 for me. Btw the introduction is great.

I know he is, it just seems that the romances were bearing heavily on the minds of people at Bioware, when they start making in jokes about sex between fictional characters/races

Its taking forever to install I can't decide whether its hilarious or sad. Sad because they have nothing better to talk about than interspecies-sex. (of which nothing at all is seen xD). And because well - its the kind of joke you'd hear in a bar sometime around the fifth beer with guys who thing scratching their testicles in public is a manly thing to do. Meh.

But then we wont get to see anything?

Nothing strange about that. He's Hollywood's commercial movies incarnate. Basically he's mastered the "pure entertainment" film form. That said, his movies are all the same and quite shallow.
