iastudent posted:Also out today is Gangsters: Organized Crime for $5.99 Hahaha, oh wow, that came out of nowhere. I actually asked if this had any chance of getting released like, a year ago maybe, two years? This game has the dubious distinction of being the best mob-based title on GOG right now and even then it's not all that great. I actually played the poo poo out of it as a kid and it has some pretty neat ideas, but the game just never really feels like it gives you enough info to succeed and the AI opponents only ever seem to die/get convicted without any influence or effort of your own. I still don't know how the gently caress you're supposed to get your dudes back after they inevitably get arrested for wasting other gangsters on the street since they seem to just disappear completely into the game's nebulous legal system, which includes options for bribing judges and intimidating witnesses but never seems to come into play ever.

evilmiera posted:You shut your mouth! Well, don't, if you feel like it. But really, I absolutely adored KKND as a kid, the quirky humor and the neat cutscenes had my young mind enthralled. The only thing that made me like it less was that it got really, really hard after a bit, at least for someone who just enjoyed making a lot of the same kind of unit over and over until I won. I'm with you, buddy. I liked it more than C&C or Red Alert because it was different. I also somewhat enjoyed the sequel. Well, at least the demo since I could never afford the thing.

One of my friends tweeting about the infamous dancing baby sent me on an unexpected course of browsing the other night, and I was suddenly struck with something I'd really like to see released on GOG if at all feasible: After Dark.

Although I'd love to mess around with a bunch of the After Dark screensaver packs (I remember the Simpsons one being particularly well done), I'm not sure that it's possible to run them on modern systems because they because they were designed to interface with old versions of Windows.

Thompsons posted:Hahaha, oh wow, that came out of nowhere. I actually asked if this had any chance of getting released like, a year ago maybe, two years? It seemed to me that the game suffered from too much attempted realism. The idea behind the justice system was that arrested gangsters would spend a couple months in jail awaiting trial. Unfortunately, this meant a couple hours of playtime before you got them back, if at all. It was also very easy to win within a couple turns, if you knew how to abuse the money laundering system. The amount of attention from the feds that a gang gets depends on the ratio of illegal income to legal gross income, as well as the skill of the accountant. If you scouted intelligently, you could easily find the other gangs headquarters in the first couple weeks. Send a guy to bomb the tenement building around it, and that gang suddenly had no/practically no legal income. Suddenly, they become public enemy #'s 1, 2, and 3, and the fed shuts them all down.

I don't care if Good Old Games release new games, it's up to the buyer to decide whether he wants to buy the game or not. Why get lovely at a company for giving you options?

KKnD was definitely a C&C rip-off, but an awesome one. I played through both campaigns many times, and enjoyed it far more than C&C. It has woolly-mammoths with mounted machine-guns, giant crabs carrying rocket launchers, and tanks that are essentially giant-miniguns. What's not to like?

GoG is having a sale on D&D titles including Baldur's Gate. The discount increases with more purchases. I wasn't going to buy a few of the cheaper titles but buying them actually reduced the price. e: beaten

Keep in mind that if ToEE is the 6th or later game you're buying, you will actually save money by buying it. That is, if you want to buy at least 5 non-ToEE games on that list, you should also buy ToEE, because your total order will cost less that way. This is only true for ToEE, by the way, because it is the only game on the list that was originally priced at 5.99 rather than 9.99. All other games have a marginal cost > 0 no matter where they come in the stack.

And on the subject of ToEE, the fan-patch/expansion updated just a couple days ago. Nothing new (they already added a whole lot of post-game content), just more tweaks and polishing up what's already there. Edit: Correction, they added one more quest and one more map in Verbobonc, but it's not a huge addition like their 'war in hommlet' addon.

Scalding Coffee posted:Rise of the Triad level design is more like an obstacle course mod than any FPS I saw. Moving lava walls, barking dogs, and jumping all over the place, with characters having different stats. Yeah every level had at least half a dozen really tight rooms with moving instagib rotating blades. You had to time it right & pray there wasn't an annoying trigger half way that moved the room around. All I want to do is turn people inside out with the homing rocket launcher at close range & hope to see an eyeball float down the screen!

Is gog.com down for everyone else? I just got home from work, and I just knew I should copy FTL down and put it on my keychain flashdrive (it's like 158MB installed... hell, I could have dropped it in Dropbox). But no... I'm sure I won't have any problems getting it again when I get home! And here I am, unable to download it from GOG. Should have waited for Steam, I guess. Edit:\/\/\/ Thanks... apparently it was something on my end. For some reason https://www.gog.com/ (was in my URL bar this way after typing in "gog") is "Problem loading page" but hitting https://www.gog.com from a google link worked no problem. Weird. Anyway, almost done download FTL now! Suck it, Steam! Essobie fucked around with this message at 02:01 on Sep 15, 2012 |

Apparently FTL is selling like hotcakes right now so maybe they're getting hammered or something.

I was all set to pay 7 bucks to own both icewind dale games in a handy digital format after I got the email. In actuality because I'm only interested in 2 games I'd be paying double that so I said gently caress it and bought nothing. I've still got my cd's somewhere.

From what I've heard it's grindy as hell and although it starts off fairly unique it shits itself hard in the middle of the second act.

Yes, Inquisitor is the type of game that you try your hardest to like, but then goes out of its way to make this as difficult as possible the more you play it. It's kind of sad because I can tell they put a monstrous amount of work into it, and it really is a unique and interesting concept, but they made some silly design mistakes that should have been obvious from the beginning.

I'm only at the beginning of act 2, but I really like Inquisitor. I wouldn't call it grindy, though the Iron Mines were a bit tedious. My only real complaint is that power progression feels off--you don't get third tier spells until level 35.

Is Neverwinter Nights worth it for the expansion campaigns plus whatever fan-campaigns are available? I tried the OC years ago back when I did not really have the patience to learn D&D and could not get into it, and everything else I heard about it makes it sound like a slog.

I paid 5 bucks for NWN Diamond Edition on Gamersgate and never regretted the purchase. It'd still be worth it at 6.99 by itself, much more so if you can drop the price lower with other D&D games.

I played NWN for like a year. I put hundreds of hours into it. I don't know if I could go back to it (certainly couldn't do NWN2 by the time I played it) but it's a great game. Agreeing that the expansion campaigns are loads better than the original. Deekin!

You will still have to allocate skill points though, pick talents, adjust your stat sheet, push the search button when you want to search, etc. It's still a D&D game. Shadows actually starts out with a stereotypical "down into the labyrinth!" premise and then quickly spirals into a really crazy adventure.
