The writing's fun though It would be nice if they remade the older Tex Murphy games with the Tesla Effect interface, I really struggle with the old movement system especially when looking up or down.

NadaTooma posted:The news that NOLF won't ever get released again has seriously ruined my day. Technically its not "NOLF won't ever get re-released" its "The party (Warner Bros, in this case) that seems to hold the copyright isn't willing to put time/effort/money into re-releasing it right now." Which does likely mean a very long time but I never say never

More like Warner Bros. doesn't want Night Dive, a third party studio, to put 100% of the time, money, and effort into re-releasing it.

This was literally the only game I was going to allow myself to buy in 2015, since otherwise I was putting myself on a Steam/GOG diet. Sounds silly I realize, but I've had too much bad news in my personal life lately, and this little tidbit was just the cherry on top of a poo poo day.I hope very much that you're right. I think I'll hunt down the CD and reinstall when I get home.

JustJeff88 posted:Hooray for big corporations of soulless pricks making GBS threads on gaming history because they are too busy ruining the world - thanks assholes. I have a legitimate copy of NOLF2 but pirated the poo poo out of the first one and Contract J.A.C.K., even though it is crap. If they don't care enough to let the game be sold, then I don't care about respecting their IP rights or whatever. Keep in mind that Night Dive may never shell out to rerelease System Shock 1 because it's so widely pirated and easy to download.

I thought that GOG had fixed the bugs with the search function and the updated games indicator, but this does not seem to be the case (at least today). That button that filters "new and updated" vs all games, does absolutely nothing, and the updated games number has been stuck for days (I've since made some purchases and some of my existing games have been updated). Also the Library search AJAX function apparently looks up hidden (description) fields too, so putting something like "Myst" in it returns about 30 irrelevant titles, which presumably have "mystery" somewhere in their description.

The new and updated filter works fine for me most of the time, sometimes a game will get "stuck" as updated. You're right about the search, hadn't noticed that before! Then again, I don't really have enough games to be in need of a search function. And there is Ether One, once more on sale, teasing me...

Where are people getting all this "gently caress WB" from? Reading that article, WB found their part of the rights, said "Yes we'd love to do this with you! ( and even apologized and said "Yes we'd still love to do this with you!" after the legal team got confused and didn't know they were in communication with the games team. ), and it was only after they realized Night Dive wasn't going to get anywhere did they shut them out. Fox and Activision are the two companies who said "Yeah we probably own a part of the rights, but it's physical and locked up somewhere and we don't care enough to check. Be warned though if you do try and do this we will go check, and if we find out we own them we will sue you/stop the game development." Why all the WB hate for telling Night Dive it wasn't going to happen, when Fox/Activision are the ones who made it not happen.

I was very happy to see Rayman Origins go so quickly as it is a remarkable game and Legends is even better, though Legends is locked behind the mortal sin that is Origin. I own Origins on GOG, 3DS and Wii and I have Legends on PC and Wii U - that is how bloody good these games are. I know that they did not meet Ubisoft's lofty (read: avaricious, unrealistic, pie-in-the-sky) sales expectations and we will probably never see another like them, but I am glad that they pushed 2 out across so many platforms before they went back to making Assassin's Creed 4.396444444... or whatever. By the way, I know that Origins and Legends were made by Ubisoft Montpellier in France and that Assassin's Creed is made by Ubisoft Montréal in Québec - my point stands.

How likely is it that X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter or X-Wing Alliance will come up as part of this (or have I already missed them)? I already have X-Wing and Tie Fighter but I want the complete set.

I already have X-Wing and Tie Fighter but I want the complete set. probably pretty high but at a very slight (10%?) discount, and even then it'll run out before you have a chance to snipe a copy. If you want it just buy it
