Gorth Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Start of old thread End of old thread Well, I still got 20 or so games on my wish list. I wonder if they ever considered expanding into pre-PC gaming and offer games for emulators... “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Llyranor Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Buy Anachronox. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Nick_i_am Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Buy Anachronox x2. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Gorth Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 That is one of the 20. Will end up in my basket next time I go on a shopping spree there. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Humanoid Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 My top wish is the same - that hopefully the WC4 delay is due to trying to get the rights to the Creative-bundle-exclusive DVD edition with non-interlaced video. I'd also take the Prophecy DVD edition if it was offered of course, though a bit tired of the space squid/bug theme at the moment.... L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G

Malcador Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 So, what's up with the schizophrenic poster ? I should get Anachronix, think I lost my copy somewhere, fun game. I remember almost failing at it due to not levelling up my robot buddy, barely won by spamming repair at the fight which you just have him. Wasn't too keen on the combat, myself.

Tale Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 They're launching new games today. http://www.gog.com/news/bigger_fresher_newer_see_whats_new_on_gogcom Whispered World, Trine, pre-order for Legend of Grimrock. Coming up they'll have Spacechem, Machinarium, and Darwinia, too. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Morgoth Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 I heard good things about Anachronox, but the ugly blocky graphics are too bad for my refined tastes. Rain makes everything better.
LadyCrimson Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 I think they changed their name officially to GoG, didn't they? No more Good Old Games. Whispered World, Trine, pre-order for Legend of Grimrock. Coming up they'll have Spacechem, Machinarium, and Darwinia, too. Hm. Legend of Grimrock looks interesting, based on some videos. I might get a little bored of never-ending dungeon after a while but it reminds me of some old games, only with better graphics. Could be happy weekend fun. “Things are as they are.

Drowsy Emperor Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Has anyone played Legend of Grimrock? И погибе Српски кнез Лазаре,И његова сва изгибе војска, Седамдесет и седам иљада;Све је свето и честито билоИ миломе Богу приступачно.
Guest Slinky Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Has anyone played Legend of Grimrock? Probably not, since it's release date is april 11th. I think I'm going to get it, even though I never played dungeon master or the likes. Looks like atmospheric game and the price doesn't make my economy go Greece.
Drowsy Emperor Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 I think there was one old school type dungeon romp released recently and I mixed them up. That one was more humorous in tone.

WorstUsernameEver Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 I think there was one old school type dungeon romp released recently and I mixed them up. That one was more humorous in tone. Frayed Knights maybe? There's a demo available. I haven't gotten to the full game yet but the demo was pretty good in its core gameplay, not the deepest dungeon crawler ever but it felt pretty well thought out and had a couple of interesting mechanics like lockpicking and the drama stars. The writing felt a bit unfunny to me though,the production values are what you expect from a 1-man team that's not an artist and had to go with models available from the internet for the most part, and the UI is.. well, yeah. Ignore what I said if that's not the game you were referring to.
Drowsy Emperor Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) That's it I think. Grimrock looks good, I think I'll check it out. The node movement is a bit weird but I'm all for exploring a real amospheric dungeon after 10 years of linear tunnels and other generic crap (Oblivion, Dragon Age etc...). I hope they make it somewhat difficult too.

HoonDing Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 If this is anything like Eye of the Beholder, all it takes to win is move left/right after attacking, then move back and attack, etc. The good old side step tactic that elegantly bypassed the horrors of real-time combat. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
mkreku Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Yeah, I preordered Grimrock on GoG.. and then I realized that I have bought a bunch of games there but I have never actually downloaded them! I think this will be the first game I will download and play from GoG. Oops. I really should try Ultima VII one of these days too (apparently I already bought it).. I played it a loooong time ago, but could never get into it back then. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
