Good Old Games

[Mamoulian War]

Gorky 17 is very nice gem, which I have completely missed when it was released, but thankfully it was bundled few years later with one Game Review Magazine, and enjoyed hell out of it!

War for the Overworld looks interesting, any good?

It's about the closest thing we will get to a (real) DungeonKeeper 3.

Gorky 17 is really an old school game, in my opinion an old game that is not aging is Fallout...

Hmm, I have to check what is on sale on GOG. Very busy at work currently. If I find some wishlisted games on sales, I rather buy them. I do not want to waste another key, if there is a chance to spent 15EUR on sale. But if you can please, hold me the key for few more days, I would love to have it one way or another )

 

Thank you.

It's also buggy, tuned for competitive multiplayer instead of the campaign and not nearly as charming.

The developers admitted that it was their first intro into game developing.

 

*But it's still leagues better than EA's Dungeon Keeper.

Got myself AI War: Fleet Collection.

 

Not sure why. I don't really like 4X games all that much, let alone real time ones. Played the tutorials so far, seems interesting enough.

[Malcador]

Grabbed that as well. Later realized I own it already on Steam. Whoops.  Ah well, the GOG version has the expansions.  I've regressed in my old age, as I found SEIV confusing with all the buttons when I was an old hat at it back in the day, so hope I can get into this. 

[Malcador]

Winter Sale is on.  Grim Fandango free until 12-14.

[majestic]

Hm, bought Cuphead Contra with better animations. The sale's as good a reason as any to finally try it.

[Majek]

Oh look, lootboxes ... i mean stars :D I wonder if i can keep away from those instead of just buying the games i want. :S

Most people are getting disappointed, as is expected.

[Mamoulian War]

The question is... Is Hard West worth investing 12.69€ to other games to get it for free?

[ShadySands]

Only if you actually want those other games. If it's just for Hard West I'd say no.

[Mamoulian War]

I have found so far 5 or 6 € worth of games, that I would like to play again, but backlog is huge, and Starcrawlers, despite being awesome, have atm gamebreaking bug, which halts my progression Need to finish them 1st...

[majestic]

I also bought Darkest Dungeon which I wanted for a while now, so I'm done with all the freebies and for my wallet funds I bought a star and got... something. Yeah. Heh.

IMO, yes, but be sure to turn injuries on; they completely change the game.

Late response, but yeah I know. I followed them when it was still a Dungeon Keeper fan sequel, and in fact talked to some of them in pre-production. I almost joined their team before they went from 'fan sequel' to 'spiritual successor' at their original forum at KeeperKlan and entirely restructured the team and dumped half the members. This was several years before they even launched a kickstarter.

 

I vehemently disagreed with their goal to create a balanced highly competitive e-sports experience inspired by StarCraft 2, citing that nobody but the most hardcore Dungeon Keeper players gave a crap about its multiplayer and they were completely wasting their time. I actually ended up getting banned because I refused to stop pointing out when they were making balance changes to hypothetical concepts when they didn't even have a halfway functional vertical slice yet. Half of the cool ideas were met with 'sounds cool, but it'd be unbalanced'. Talk about your idea killers.

 

One of the reasons I'm so hard on this game is because so many of their problems could have been avoided if they had prioritized the campaign and lookdev over a multiplayer component that nobody cared about, and I literally told them that personally before they even started making the damn game.

 

Yes, I know this is petty and biased but I did take it personally when they assured me they'd prove me wrong and just completely failed to do so.

You could always wait and see if someone has a spare key at the end of the sale. I'm definitely going past the $15 mark since I want Distant Worlds but I don't own Hard West so won't have a spare.
