Nonono, that’s it!!! I totally missed the link :)
After fiddling with my original CDs back two years I gave up and installed these! Wide-screen, stable, high resolutions, perfect! I was so happy fans decided to get them running again!
A friendly reminder to everyone: there is a fan project, part 1 and 2 updated to run on modern systems. They have their own page, the full games can be downloaded from there, and they just work. Just Google the title and fan update.
If you are a European Citizen, sign it. It takes a minute of your time. Not more.
I started to play a year ago, but dropped it pretty fast. Though I really liked it.
If they put in the effort and implement a good save game system and proper mouse/keyboard controls, they can have my money!
That makes it ok to get screwed? Well then…
Exactly. Valve/Steam wants their title only on their own platform. As does Epic with their financed title. So I don’t get that exclusivety thing. Everybody’s doing it. Some more, some less, but they do. Oh wait, gog did publish their own titles on other platforms as well.
I’m still waiting for the Half Life games to be released on GOG. I wonder why it will never happen…?
First thing everybody has to learn about computers: Don’t get attached to a brand/company.
2015 the core i7 gave me the most performance for my money. Last year it was the 7800x3D.
I had mostly AMD GPUs, but last year I got a 4700 because it’s power consumption was unbeatable for the performance it has.
Always buy the best stuff you can get for your money, don’t give a fuck about the companies.
And please never forget the Multiverse of Soldier of Fortune 2, with their alternate timeline of Robot Humans. That was for me the most rediculous thing in my gaming career!
To be fair, it has gotten a lot better. Games rarely get censored anymore. Dying Light 2 comes to mind. The Index also has become rare, also the complete confiscation.
But yes, I’m with you, the authorities have to go, the European classification should be enough!
It’s actually more interesting than I first thought. The amount of small steps to lower the time (a different key stroke, a shot from the pistol at the right moment) is insane for a casual player like me.
The same farmers will protest in 10 years when their harvests will be destroyed constantly by heatwaves and draughts. “We had no idea…”
“[…]these micotransactions grant more frequent access to features many gamers deem essential for any action RPG. This includes fast travel and character customisation.”
Wait, what? Seriously devs?
Or in the beginning released beautiful boxes, with lots of information on the developers, they were a piece of art. Hence the name Electronic Arts.
They started as a great little company.
Thank you! I have about 5 games on steam, so I haven’t installed it on my system. The only interesting one is Doom 2016, so for a moment I thought I could download the installer as a backup without having to use steam anymore in the future when I do want to play it again. Would have been nice. Thanks for clarifying!
So no installer then? Or can you download that separately?
So it’s possible to download the installer through steam, store it somewhere and ten years later I can just start the installer without having steam on my system?
Asking out of curiosity, I don’t use steam, I never thought that would be possible?
I replayed Mirror’s Edge a few days ago, with modern hardware in 4k, it still feels stunning! It has aged exceptionally well, thanks to the art style.
The only thing I did not like were the fights. They slow the gameplay and just felt tacked on as an afterthought, thankfully many fights can be avoided by simply running past the enemy.
Highly recommended!
Holy shit, a new Dune RTS!! I did not know!!!
…only on Steam. Well, fuck. Back to Dune 2000.
I bought it blind on gog when it was on sale, visual novels aren’t my thing usually, but it did not have the anime look so I thought I gave it a try and drop it after half an hour.
Turns out it was one of the most impressive games I played these last years. What a mindfuck!
And the ending warmed my cold heart!
So I wanted to watch a review on YouTube, and what! The! Fuck! I had no idea how different (and gruesome) this game could get! Soon it’s holiday time, and it’s on my top list of things to do! Let’s see how I can fuck things up!
