guppy posted:I voted for both Crusader games within days of the site going up. They aren't even close to the top. Me too friend, me too. One of these days it will happen, and it will be awesome. I kinda wish the Ubisoft catalog would stop pricing everything at 10 bucks. I mean Silent Hunter II is being released for ten bucks on Tuesday but you can get SH III of off steam for 8 bucks last I checked.

I agree, I bought it on a whim last time Steam had a holiday sale and got the Wolf Mod for it on a recommendation and man its quite possibly one of the most addicting and fun gaming experiences I've had with a sim game.

Evil Genius isn't that bad if you constantly check the world domination screen to see if any agents of justice are investigating where your henchmen are stealing from. You usually have 30 seconds or so of them just sitting there before they actually kill any of your henchmen where you can tell them to hide till the coast is clear. Also, when you see a red dot anywhere on your island, just put the kill tag on it and ignore them for the most part unless they end up in your base. Make sure your base has a camera at the front entrance, and don't build a secondary entrance unless you really really need to. Building a freezer really helps too as it helps boost morale and kills heat at the same time, I know it seems like a useless expansion but it works miracles. Agents investigating are pains in the asses but they are manageable, the game is a grind at times but it can be alota fun.

AxeManiac posted:I must admit, being a poor kid during the original release of these games, I feel it is my duty to buy them now. Probably going to pick up Vampire and Constructor. Ahh, who am I kidding, getting them now. That is half my problem with game collections, buying tons of stuff I never got to get as a poor kid and barely touching them afterwords. I don't care though, it's still worth it to just have for playing someday.

I remember like 15 years ago, my mom randomly bought me MoO2. I was only 11 at the time but I was so excited by the concept and could hardly wait to play...too bad my 486 could not run it at the time and it just ended up going back to the store  I cannot wait to get home from school today.

pyrotek posted:Baldur's Gate was developed by Bioware who is now owned by EA, so who knows? Maybe we'll all be lucky and the rights for the games revert to the D&D owner after they expire for the publisher. That's my line of thinking as well. At the very least, I'm sure Bioware could serve as a decent advocate for GoG when trying to get EA to see the light. Yes I know that there is much more to it than that, but it has to start somewhere before the lawyers get involved.

Armor-Piercing posted:It's probably the nostalgia talking (best game ever?), but Baldur's Gate really is still fine to play without BGTutu or widescreen or high-res or whatever packs. I only installed the widescreen fix and so far I'm enjoying the game quite a bit. Not digging the crash in Beregost though...I loved Dragon Age and I'm definitely digging this game, but it is very unforgiving sometimes.

AxeManiac posted:I did the same thing, even with the sale, I put those 4 in my cart and it was like $20, and I figured I just got a bunch of console games I wanted and don't have the time for, there is no way I'd get to these games. I can't even fool myself into thinking I might have time one day. Me too man, me too. I originally had Planescape, BG 2, both Icewind Dales, Neverwinter Nights and Independence War. Then I realized, I have a backlog right now and 40 bucks on poo poo I will touch maybe once is a little too much. Although I'm going to get Neverwinter Nights and Icewind Dale 1 anyways, because I loved NWN when it came out and Icewind Dale seems more hack/slash and mindlessly fun than Planescape. Don't get me wrong, Planescape seems great, but all the praise I hear about is for the story and not much else. EDIT: I'm probably going to buy more before the sale ends anyways, I just felt the need to grab the Atari stuff I wanted now since its only on sale for another few days and I'm leaving home this weekend.

Charles Martel posted:To be fair, either one of these publishers is a big step for GOG, and as a small digital outlet compared to goliaths like Steam and Microsoft, the more publicity they can get, the better. They just need to dial it back a bit and not do extreme stuff like the whole infamous "close-down-the-entire-site-without-warning" event. This. Also, I don't really understand how people are saying the majority of their announcements have been disappointing. I mean the Atari/Hasbro stuff alone was well worth the hype.

With this, I would not be surprised to see LA sign on before the end of the year. Bank on it. EDIT: Super excited Crusader is coming out at the end of the month and I'm really happy EA isn't going the Activision route and charging ten bucks for 10+ year old games.

Dissapointed Owl posted:Okay, I've just been looking through the MobyGames list of games published by Electronic Arts and I have to say it makes me really sad that of the 25 games that'll be released many will be games from the Ultima and Wing Commander series. Keep in mind, they never said that those 25 games are the only games they will be getting from EA, they just currently have 25 specific titles that will be out this year. I wouldn't be surprised if they will continue to dig up more titles beyond the 25 count.

doctorfrog posted:Does EA plan on letting any of its games come with their expansion packs? No, extras also include expansion packs. I had bought Evil Genius about two years ago and at the time, it did not include a bonus game content pack that was released for pre-orders. It was unavailable for I think three or four months and then GoG was finally able to add it to the extras. Seen here, http://www.gog.com/en/forum/evil_genius/bonus_content Keep the faith, I don't doubt at all that these guys are attempting to clear whatever bullshit hurdle is stopping the expansion packs from coming out.

teethgrinder posted:I agree very much with what Bats offered. I just want to add my own two cents that having to play the base game first and getting the expansion later is an even more authentic experience In total agreement about this. I know it sounds stupid to some people, but not everyone got a chance to play the original game at all, let alone the expansion. It's nice having just the base game to begin with and then grabbing the expansion later when you've beaten the base game. I almost feel overwhelmed with game content when I get a game and the expansion(s) is included straightaway. So while it's annoying that the expansions weren't included right away, it's still not that bad in the end.
