Just don't expect Deus Ex levels of epic-ness and you'll be fine.

Deus Ex 2 of all things, and it's actually moving along pretty steadily so far. :psyduck:

For what it's worth, I actually liked DX:IW. Likely because it was my first experience with the DX series.

Great.

If you look at Deus Ex: IW as well-meaning fan tribute project, you'll enjoy it more. It's not terrible.

Except for the loading zones, which is hard to hold against the game since it was the Xbox and PS2 that caused it, and universal ammo, which I honestly stopped caring about 1/4 into the game, Invisible War is is great.

Someone managed to make a mod that makes Thief 3 into a single mostly-seamless experience as opposed to tons of little levels broken up by load screens, so maybe some day someone will do the same for Invisible War. It's not Deus Ex, but it's actually a pretty decent game if you ignore the dumb technical foibles.

Also, it's a game where you can actually be a cool cyborg samurai and have it work.

Might be cool if they did it like an online stock trading service. Place a title and a max price you'll pay for it, and if it comes up at that price you get an alert to buy!

Theme Park needs to sell ~1400 copies to move on to the next game. Is the game good enough to warrant GOG putting up so many copies?

Nothing wrong with Theme Park, but in my estimation it doesn't hold a candle to RollerCoaster Tycoon(s) 1 & 2.


Thank you - I feel better that this is quite recent. If it had been around for years, I would be horrified to have missed it.

Ugh, it's nowhere near bad. It runs well, plays well, the story isn't necessarily any more believable or worse than the first game it just obviously suffers from Console Design Syndrome where the interface is simplified and levels can be navigated in 30 seconds before a loading screen.

That's done now. Now we've got Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller for $6. I expect this one to take a while.

I'm surprised Cognition is moving at all at 6 bucks for a hidden object game, but it's actually going at a reasonable speed.

Did anyone else notice that Shadowrun and the Dragonfall expansion don't show up in the catalogue? What I mean is that, if you click on Browse Games and it shows every game sold, those don't show up - I'm not sure if there are any others. They still exist if you search for them, though. No big deal, I'm just surprised and didn't notice until after I picked up Shadowrun, went to look for Dragonfall and couldn't find either.

This is every major internet sale. Go to the Steam thread during Summer or Winter sales and the first 10,000 posts are "no way, look at all these deals!" and the last 10,000 are "I have nothing left to buy boooooo"

Well the fact you have to sit through 600 copies of things that aren't moving. Steam Sale you can just walk away and check again when the countdown timer tells you to. This you have to actually sit there and hope other suckers spend their money to move through the chaff.
