It seems that it does a good job of easing the player into more features and difficulty. Also, don't feel like you have to conquer every settlement; if it's too tough then it's probably pretty likely that the enemy might decide to avoid it as well.

Amethyst posted:My advice if you're on a modern system, say, win7 64 with any processor above a celeron: don't get it. It's crippled by bizarre performance problems and the only available fixes are unreliable. On the other hand, I've had exactly zero problems playing it on two different computers, both of which have Windows 7 and one of which has the 64 bit version.

voltron lion force posted:So Eador: Masters of whatever is out and I'm seeing reports of it being basically still in beta. Somewhere between "not so bad" and "just go play the original". Anyone care to weigh in? From what I've heard, the game is buggy as poo poo and the user interface sucks. Also, It's just a graphical facelift of the original game, there's nothing new. I recommend avoiding Masters of the Broken World. I do, however, highly recommend getting the original game, Eador: Genesis if you even remotely like RPGs or TBSs as it's loving amazing. Edit: I should also mention that while Genesis is old, it still looks really nice, so the graphical update is even less of a big deal.

 Oh poo poo yeah, Shadow Man is a hell of a gem. It's like a really dark mash-up of Legend of Zelda and N64 collect-o-thon, highly recommend it if you're not too offended by late 90's graphics. Also worth noting, the PC version is a noticeably better than the console versions. It has a number of graphical effects and some areas are pretty different. The New York Apartments area, for example, has a whole bunch of effects that make it a good bit creepier.It would be nice to get the PC versions of N64-era Turok games. They were pretty fun, and aside from the horrible fog, looked pretty decent for their time but holy poo poo, their controls (at least on the N64, I haven't played the PC ports) haven't aged well at all.

Wicker Man posted:I still have my PC copy of Shadowman, and even on Windows Vista 64 it runs perfectly fine after a small patch that is easily found on any download website like fileplanet. Never crashes, runs clean and fast. Apparently the GOG version will come with a map, which this game SORELY needs. Fortunately for me, I've memorized all the areas I know that my old Playstation copy of Shadowman came with a map (Yeah I have copies on PS, N64, and PC  gotta get the Dreamcast version at some point ). If the GOG map is that one then it's unfortunately just a very rough map of the overworld and the details of how many souls were needed to get through each gate and the locations of key items.Edit: gently caress all this Shadow Man chat is making me want to buy Shadow Man on GOG despite already owning it three times over and having way too many other games on my backlist.

Wicker Man posted:Only for the few games I really, really like, I swear! Rage Wars, I had it on the N64. It wasn't very good. There wasn't much there that you couldn't get out of the multiplayer in Turok 2 and of course, Rage Wars didn't have any single player stuff (aside from dicking around with bots I guess). According to Wikipedia, there wasn't any PC port.

Bursk posted:How does the PC version of Shadow Man compare to the Dreamcast version? The Dreamcast version of Shadow Man is the closest to the PC version and, to my knowledge, doesn't really have any of the content differences that the N64/PS1 have. The PC version will, however, look nicer since you can mess with resolution and all that stuff and the PC version allows for Mice and Keyboard controls (which I remember working rather well) and whatever controller you can plug in. I found a video that shows the differences in the console versions, which is a kind of interesting watch I think. The uploader apparently didn't include any overview of the PC version since quality is dependent on hardware.

I'm really digging Evil Genius, but I've got a bit of a problem: I'm not seeing any way to save aside from autosaving. Surely I'm just not seeing something, right? Oh and there's a new sale on a bunch of scary games. Edit: Thanks, apparently the save command in the menu is under "Load Save"(  ).

Bolverkur posted:Shadow Man is on discount today! I so desperately wanted this game back on the day on the N64. Read the review back and forth as well as the guide that came with N64 magazine. Don't know if it has aged that well, but it's great to have an excuse to play it! Shadow Man is one of those games that I've always had a hardon for because it's awesome. Also, PC is the best version of Shadow Man.

It's a good idea too since sales go by so fast that no one has time to ask about how the game is or anything. It's pure distilled consumerism.

New line of deals is up. The Ultraviolence Uberpack (these fuckin' names) is a bit of a mixed bag. Carmageddon, Hotline Miami, and Blood are great games. I haven't played Carmageddon II, but if it's more of the same then it's good. Blood 2 and the Postal games are poo poo, however. Edit: Oh, I got 75% off System Shock 2, which I already have.

Just a friendly reminder to wait until games go up on specific sales. I mean, what's up is good, but there's no reason to pay more for games that are going to be more heavily discounted in the future.

I hadn't played Alpha Centauri until a couple years ago when I got it on GOG and I can testify that it owns and is still pretty much the best 4X strategy game ever.

Wolfsheim posted:drat. Are all (or at least most) of the D&D bundle games worth playing? The only one I've played (and already own) is Planescape, and I know everyone says they love Baldur's Gate, but what about the Icewind Dales and Neverwinter Nights and those random ones at the end? Aside from Dragonshard and Demon Stone, pretty much everything on the list is a classic RPG and very much worth getting.

It's one of the best (if not the best) 4X strategy games of all time and is one of those games I think needs to be in everyone's GOG library.

JustJeff88 posted:I agree with a lot of the suggestions made in this forum about great old games to put back out. What bothers me is when I hear people, and I have, talking about how Steam brought back SS2/I Have no Mouth and the latter Wizardry trilogy, because it's GOG that got those and they deserve infinite credit for bringing back games thought lost to time and legal bullshit. It bothers me a bit as well how Steam, to my knowledge, wasn't really a part of bringing those games back but still gets to reap all the rewards of it. I wish GOG could have got some exclusivity on those games for some duration, if for no other reason than to give them the ability to say "yeah, WE did this!"

I never played Ten Hammers, but Full Spectrum Warrior was a pretty fun game. Like everyone else has said, remember that it's really a puzzle game with a military setting, not a shooter.
