Another good thing about GOG is that they're not limited to selling in the US.
That would be silly as the company behind it is CD Projekt, which is based in Poland. :v:

Although i'm glad they use the dollar to pay for games instead of the Euro. A lot more friendly for both US and EU players. :cool:

Oh and yes, gog.com is great and everyone who is reading this topic and in doubt about it should have no worries. Just buy those awesome games so we can get even more games on it. :cool:

The trailer looks nice, but the games seem pretty similar.
The metacritic ranking for both games is 75. If you like the genre i guess it's not a bad deal for 2 good games.

I just finished all 4 sides in the Dark Prophecy campaign in Disciples II and started the Guardians of the Light campaign, but i couldnt believe my eyes reading the starting dialogues of the Undead campaign. The quality of writing went down the toilet in that second campaign. It read like some terrible fan-mission instead of official maps.

Are there any games on GOG you'd recommnd for having in the background at work, something you can do a few moves at then alt+tab back to the humdrum spreadsheets? I guess dosbox games could run in a window (rather than fullscreen)... actually while I'm thinking about it something that could runn of a USB wotsit would be ideal too like in Get Well Gamers Thread.
Some of the turn-based strategy games like Disciples 2 or Jagged Alliance would work. Or maybe an adventuregame like Broken Sword.

Nobody's going to complain about it if the company goes out of business you moron. I think you're confusing goons saying "I wish this hadn't happened" with people on the GOG forums freaking out and typing in caps.
Sarcasm is a form of humor that uses sharp, cutting remarks or language intended to mock, wound, or subject to contempt or ridicule. It is first recorded in English in The Shepheardes Calender in 1579:

Tom piper) An Ironical [Sarcasmus], spoken in derision of these rude wits, which make more account of a rhyming Rimbaud, then of skill grounded upon learning and judgment.
—Edmund Spenser

It comes from the ancient Greek σαρκάζω (sarkazo) meaning 'to tear flesh' but the ancient Greek word for the rhetorical concept of taunting was instead χλευασμός (chleyasmόs). Sarcasm appears several times in the Old Testament, for example:

Lo, you see the man is mad; why then have you brought him to me? Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence?
—Achish, king of Gath, I Sam 21:10-15

Honestly, if the GOG folks ever did read the wishlist, its length and retard levels present would have turned them off long ago. At this point, it's mainly a distracting doohickie for members and nothing more.

Major difference is that Disciples II has a different form of combat. Think more the combat of Final fantasy, instead of the grid-based combat of HoMM. But yeah, Disciples II has awesome mood & artwork. I really hope they wont ruin that in Disciples III. :(
