GOG.com

I thought that GoG galaxy will have oldschool boxes, giving it a feel of a virtual game shelve. Now I am dissapointed. In fact I'd rather have Hitler as a CEO of CDProjekt because he at least tried to eredicate the Jews instead of deciding to eradicate gorillas instead when he got popular.

 

I still have never used Steam and I'll die before I touch that pile of totalitarian horseshit held in check only by Gaben existing.

 

Your hate only makes Gaben fatter stronger.

Well, you're still fucked if their servers die and you didn't care about making a backup of the executable (and even if you did, there's no guarantee it'll work on a newer OS in the future). Actually there's no guarantee of anything, even physical copies can get lost or thrown away by your wife/girlfriend/mother. We should all just chillax~

 

Wasn't that Interplay's decision?

 

Yes, that was Interplay's move, but it was awesome nonetheless.

 

You could have just pirated the GoG version then. Same difference.
GoG was butthurt and they decided to give copies for free, which cost them nothing (not like they had to burn and send out CDs), and it potentially cost Interplay something. Essentially same shit as piracy, only a-ok legally for like two days and it's on some stupid make-believe shelf. It's your cognitive dissonance that makes all the difference here.

Thanks.

Mistake Fixed.

"Trademarks" don't currently expire in USA although they can still "lapse" if not maintained or become "generic".
My point about personal copies still stands...

Wasteland 2 on sale -50%

 

Hmm, maybe I should have waited for the Saints Row games on GOG. They're on sale pretty cheap right now.

 

Don't worry, you only need 1 (Xbox 360) and 2.

 

I bought the SR2-4 pack on Steam including DLC for 9.99 during a sale earlier in the year. Don't own an Xbox.

 

Stronghold games, Crusader Kings, Expeditions: Conquistador and King Arthur's Gold on sale.

Is kag worth it? It seems like a more action-oriented Terraria. Will it be enjoyable with 2, or even 1 player?

 

Expeditions: Conquistador for 6$? Thank you GOG and Logic Artists.

 

Prehistorik 1 and 2 released: http://www.gog.com/game/prehistorik_12?pp=cb4e5208b4cd87268b208e49452ed6e89a68e0b8

 

Herve Caen has almost ruined Prehistorik too (and his brother might have been even worse). Eric Zmiro has revealed some inside info about Prehistorik development and shared it with one of Polish journalists.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=281&v=-kpVSc1CgLo

For example at one time Eric and other programmers who were working on P2 were laughing when playing it, Herve's brother came in, looked at them and went out without a word. The next day he tried to get Eric fired. Or programmers were asked to build complicated structures (compression of data, implementation of many colour palettes) and spent 6 months on it and then it was discarded for no reason. Ask some potato who actually knows English to translate it better and post other interesting tidbits. It's really interesting stuff which shows that Brian Fargo couldn't pick up a worse company than Titus.

 

They didn't had any information about sales number of any of the games. The programmer made secret credits screen (which started showing in 96). Gizmo says he inserted nice items likes fruits and cakes when the dev teams members how up, and skulls and grenades during Herve and his dumb brother Eric names appearing on the screen. They were both looking at the end of the making of the P2, to be sure nothing unauthorized will be putted. Apparently Eric though that one of the items looked too much like a Gameboy, so he was afraid of copyright lawsait (the irony is over 9000). The programmers says there was no solid team and planning. Just people having more than enough stubborness to make it working. There were some lay offs during it, which was the only thing that Herve really was doing. The preproduction could have made it even better game. There was no budget, milestones, professional managing.

If you run the Dos version now you will see a screen from Zmiro which says that in 2015 his game is still working. Prehistoric 2 was made on typewriter AT 286 12Mhz ! Gizmo is still proud about that game, and rightfully so. It's a great platformer with great neanderthal protagonist.



TL,DR.

Yeah thank god for small favors, that "Prehistorik" thing on Steam is the stuff of nightmares.
