I’ve got to give credit to the gaming industry, it never fails to surprise me. They are extremely creative in finding new ways to press money out of gamers. I wish they would put that creative energy into their games, but well…

On the other hand, the gamers are not better. They pay for a weapon skin, a loot box, a mini DLC mission, they preorder, they accept always on line, they accept game clients required running in the background, buggy games on release date, now paid mods, kernel level anti cheat. Did I forget something?

Who can blame good old Todd and all the other guys?

Forgive me in saying this, but this whole discussion has gotten way out of proportion. It’s been a while since I’ve seen that many death threats left and right. But that’s the internet nowadays. Tiresome.

I did not mean that crap of course!

But if technology existed that would enhance graphics of old games to look like stuff from 2016 or so that would be pretty neat. I would definitely use it!

But that won’t happen I guess…

If this could be applied to games like Return to Castle Wolfenstein, System Shock 2, Soldier of Fortune, Medal of Honour, Tron 2.0, Call of Duty and all other titles from that era, I would not mind in the slightest.

A man can dream…

One of the reasons to make gog your primary platform. Download the installer, even older versions if you prefer. Voilà.

It’s the most friendly platform for consumers at the moment.

While we are at it, I would really love to see a new adventure of the Honour Among Thieves Party. I loved that movie, please give us more!

Smoke crack all the time. (That can’t be good for me but I feel great!)

Piss in the air when on fire to distinguish the flames.

Put cats on gun barrel for improvised silencer.

We are weird people!

Never really got into the first one, but Postal 2 I still play from time to time. That game is so over the top ridiculous, I love it.

For now there’s nothing of the sort, but I’m only a few hours in. Could it be too good to be true…?

Well, let’s see. It is a AAA game after all…

Edit: No, the game really is fun. 20 hours in, and I must say even if it were only exploring Hogwarts it would be quite worth my time. The music and atmosphere are really neat.

Edit2: I can’t believe it’s a AAA title. There is no ingame shop, everything is obtainable just by playing. The world is beautiful and full of interesting stuff to find. And best of all: it’s fun! The cash grab part is just a lie. If you have an agenda, use arguments, not lies.

To be fair, Hogwarts Legacy is a very good game, I started playing yesterday and the atmosphere of the movies is perfectly captured! I did expect a cash grab, but I was totally wrong.

I’m still waiting for Half Life 2 on gog.

It is what it is.

Thank god!! I thought I was the only one!!

Sadly all the tips (https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Middle-earth:_Shadow_of_Mordor#Field_of_view_.28FOV.29) did not work.

I hated to drop the game since it really seems to be great, but fuck those Devs…

When I played the Dishonored series I had massive Thief vibes, I loved it! I looted everything and I killed no one, and it felt like good old times.

Reminds me, time to play them again!

Perfect time to release it on gog? Pretty please??

It’s a fun game with a huge open world, but it’s not a classic per se. It’s just nice to see a dead game running again.

If Ubisoft had done this from the start… But it brought awareness to the topic, so in the end it’s good that they stayed true to their philosophy (of being dicks).

If you have a PC or Laptop there is a good chance you could get it running, the game is pretty “old” and doesn’t scream for a high end gaming rig. Maybe that would be an option.

Fair, but I wanted to play it again and had been living under a rock, who knows who else missed this.

And the deactivation of this game started the StopKillingGames campaign (which stays important regardless), there might be at least of few like me out there.

And I really liked that! In this story I want to add, not irl of course!

I’ll wait. Experience shows that the next dick move will come soon after.

I have no problem at this point to wait another two or three years.

I liked GTA V, but after finishing it I drove around for a few hours and the never touched it again. I’m not really sure why.

I still go back to Vice City and San Andreas, somehow these worlds are just more fun. But like I said, I’m not sure why…

The graphics in 5 are great, the sound is great, but something is missing…
