Gizmo 287 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 If anyone has a Stalker serial number from their CD version, GoG will accept that as proof of purchase, and add Stalker to their account.

Hassat Hunter 1,380 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Really like the gog Twitch feed from KOTOR2 (with TSLRCM) each weekend. I may of course be slightly biased. Haven't bought anything there for ages though. ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created. At least top 5.

Nonek 4,762 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) An interesting Diablo clone from Eidos released today: Revenant. The plot and setting are the standard poorly made cliches, the world however is bright, colourful and extremely vibrant and if one sticks with the combat it is revealed to be a thing of beauty, with a host of finishers for each type of monster, grappling and throws and a number of very powerful spells to take advantage of. The protagonist Locke is a unique individual who is fully voice acted, at first far too dramatically, but this soon settles down into a far more even cadence. Well as even as it can be considering his nature. A quick demonstration from the animators website of his work on the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqxfp-msQhc Edit: Oh and it must be added that the cinematics are absoultely stunning. Alltogether it is a flawed gem, with far too much grinding and clearly rushed development, what if is the question that looms large here.

Forgotten Realms fans may wish to visit GOG in the near future however, I predict a golden reward if one searches thoroughly. You mean this, right? As much as I loved the gold box games when I was a young'un, I am afraid to revisit them. I'm scared that the 2015 version of Keyrock, bereft of hair and rotund of belly, made cynical by exposure to the real world, would destroy the romantic images I have of these games. I'll keep my rose tinted glasses on and leave the memories in the past. Edited August 20, 2015 by Keyrock 1 I wonder if there is beer on the sun Link to post Share on other sites
Gizmo 287 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) Fan-$#^%-tastic news! (Though... I already have all of them in that kit on CD.) I wonder.... The original release accidentally (I assume) included the C source code for the Tigre engine, used to make Blood & Magic. (But that was in the Blood & Magic demo folder on the disc... That won't be among the games.) Edited August 20, 2015 by Gizmo Link to post Share on other sites

Also if I may be so bold, the All Seeing Eye mod for EotB is a very nice automapping tool which some may think the game needs, I wouldn't take advantage of too many of its features however, just in case one spoils oneself.

Zoraptor 3,452 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 The third pack is a bit weird. Menzobarranzan and Dungeon Hack? Does make me wonder if they were going to have Stone Prophet at least included as well. Link to post Share on other sites

Gizmo 287 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) You know... Each of those Gold Box games originally sold for about $50. That means that even Hillsfar cost quite a bit more than Skyrim did when it released. Edited August 21, 2015 by Gizmo Link to post Share on other sites

Nonek 4,762 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I didn't know Fallout ever went away, I had them for the duration as I did a playthrough of both, strange. That said I hope New Vegas comes out eventually, at that point I think Steam might go the way of the Dodo, it's just so irritating and cumbersome with how little I use it in comparison to GOG.

Gizmo 287 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) I didn't know Fallout ever went away, I had them for the duration as I did a playthrough of both, strange. Once the transfer became final, and Interplay could not sell Fallout, the Fallout games disappeared from the open catalog. Existing owners kept them in their accounts, but no new purchases were possible. *They've done this with other titles as well. XIII is gone ~unless you had it in your account. GoG was really awesome too, they made the Fallout games free for a time. Edited August 26, 2015 by Gizmo 1 Link to post Share on other sites
majestic 2,048 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Odd. I have Fallout, Fallout 2 and Tactics from before they disappeared and now that they're back I could purchase them again because the game titles are not an exact match (Fallout Classic vs. Fallout). Just a heads-up, take care you don't buy something you already own. Bought the Bethesda and ID bundles. While I didn't really like Morrowind I wanted Daggerfall and Arena just for, uhm, nostalgia's sake. Link to post Share on other sites
Zoraptor 3,452 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Interesting article here on the rights issues surrounding the Gold Box/ SSI D&D games recently released on GOG. No mention of the unreleased classic D&D games there that I can see like the Dark Sun games or Stone Prophet but it seems that the ownership rights were with a pretty random company who did sell them outright to GOG, so they are probably coming at a later date. Will be interesting to see if Bethesda does release any of their later games. Oblivion and FO3 were both effectively drm free on disk release already- so long as you avoided the launcher but it would be pretty nifty to get a DRM free Dishonoured or FONV eventually.
