Waffleman_ posted:This very technically counts, but with the release of the newest patch in August, the free trial of Final Fantasy XIV will include the entirety of the base game and the first expansion with no time limit. In other MMO news, Black Desert Online is giving a (permanent) free copy of the base game to anyone who reaches level 50 on a free trial account: https://www.blackdesertonline.com/news/view/4167 (Normally a copy costs  , but it has a lotta cash shop stuff that makes it basically feel like you're playing a korean f2p game)Does this count for this thread?

maybe, but their emailer is backlogged so it it's definitely "here's a free trial but if you manage to play enough to a certain point you just get to have the basic game forever! we'll acknowledge that it's technically possible in the terms. Good luck!" not sure if that's actually free, it doesn't seem likely that BDO is running purely off of purchases of the base game also uh the launcher screams "korean f2p game" and it's made in korea and it's f2p in some parts of the world FFT fucked around with this message at 14:38 on Jul 23, 2020 |

They've fully fallen into the pattern of giving away stuff that's been free dozens of times already huh. Though 20XX is a drat good game (with its sequel coming out soon).

I played a bit with friends and while its possible to play F2P, its painful enough that every time you try to do something, you'll end up saying to yourself "man, i wish i had premium". Very well designed on the "extract money from players" front. I'm also a massive fan of their housing mechanic, which exists purely to let whales spent literally thousands of dollars stacking objects to the door of a house, just so you can get an incredibly minor bonus.

They probably ran out of devs willing to have their game given away for free. Also, personally I don't mind because I missed a lot of these and didn't start claiming games until GTA5. What are some other big games they've given away in the past that might cycle through?

I thought Superbrothers was super nifty until my iPhone broke and I never played again. Actually looking forward to that one. I'm also legit super enjoying Pathways from a few weeks back.

Beneath a Steel Sky was made free on GOG and other places legally years ago, but now it's also on Steam if you lust for that serotonin hit that only adding another game to your miles-long backlog can bring you.

I remember Beneath a Steel Sky having only a few "try loving everything because nothing sensible seems to work" bits, unlike most games of its type that had 40 000, so I concur. (Heck if I can remember what they were, it's been like 20 years since I played it, but I can remember quitting for a day or two more than once but not that often.)

It also has an excellent, grimy aesthetic to it. Everything feels run-down and fake, which makes the genuinely human elements the more remarkable. Heck, some downright bastard characters still feel relatable, because you get to know how their normal routine lives are like.

there are a couple of death bits which sucks if you don't save often, but I guess it adds a bit of peril and drama at some key story moments it's not like the Sierra thing of "haha you got into a taxi with some wine in your inventory UR DED AGAIN lol"

Does it let you get into unwinnable conditions like King’s Quest did? I couldn’t play KQ without a guide, I hate discovering that the way I overcame a puzzle 7 hours ago is the reason why I’m stuck now.

3D Megadoodoo posted:*) It's not an emulator I know quote:"ScummVM is not an emulator," confirms Eugene Sandulenko, current Project Lead. "It has been confused a number of times with one, and actually it does contain several, though mostly for sound cards. When it comes to the games though, we don't emulate the originals—we rewrite them. The pioneers, such as Ron Gilbert of Maniac Mansion, figured out that instead of writing their game logic in assembly or Pascal or whatever, they would create a separate language tailored to the game, and which would be easy enough even for the artists to make use of. SCUMM for instance has op-codes for moving an actor from Room A to Room B or around the screen, while the implementation also covers playing walking animations and so on—it's pretty high level. This then ran in a virtual machine so that it would play on multiple platforms without everything having to be reimplemented. ScummVM does that again, this time in C. Currently we have 64 supported engines and growing."

Could you post in the ScummVM forum with details about this or open a ticket on the ScummVM bug tracker The main script logic is part of the game's resource files (not of the engine itself) but I know that ScummVM has implemented workarounds for known bug and so we might be able to fix any other known ones, especially if they are game breaking.
