is heretic gut?
It's like a fantasy Doom, but the enemies are more bullet spongy. Try Hexen instead. Or stick to Doom.

Yay, more games I'll never play or already owned on Steam! Merry Christmas!

No exaggeration, Abe's Exoddus is one of the best games of all times and definitely in my top 10. I probably replayed it a hundred times, might even be able to speedrun it possibly - at least a glitchless run.

It's one of those infinitely fun games. Some of the later Zulags are such a joy to play, especially the ones where you can possess the Glukkon bureaucrats to give orders around and solve the puzzles. Incredible game.
Odyssey > Exoddus, by a large margin.

Merida, again
Brigador is free for the next 72 hours

Got their email, but I can't seem to be able to claim it from the site. Link throws me to their specials page and when searching for the game it list it with a discounted price instead of the giveaway.

It's on their main page, doesn't clicking on that button do anything for you?

Just sends me to their specials list. Maybe because I'm doing it on a mobile.

How do I stop GOG Galaxy from trying to force the Revision mod for Deus Ex 1 on me every time I start Galaxy? I've unchecked automatic updates and the mod, but it still does it.

It's sad how every new update of GOG makes me more and more disappointed with the former service dedicated to preserve good old games. Now they don't even bother to do that right, seeing there are many games with missing/faulty features compared to Steam. Or not publishing stuff for inane reasons while indie crap that no normal human being will ever play is given a pass.

Which games are these? Other than KotOR 2 GOG usually treats their older games with a lot more care than Steam does. Steam throws them up without a care in the world usually, it's the publishers that have to fix them (if they bother). Galaxy quirk above is a quirk, just download the normal Deus Ex installer.

I already grabbed everything that interests me from it, but a feature GOG desperately needs is to tag every good old game with a, well, 'good old game' tag and let people filter the store by just that. Considering how GOG these days is packed full of indie/modern shit, it really is a pain to find gud classics.

While GOG does have a "browse by release date" feature and that kinda serves as a temporary solution, that doesn't help you to keep track of, say, a good release from 1999. If you sort it by oldest first get you'll get thrown to Akalabeth, the Zork games and other 80's stuff, and said 1999 release will be hidden many pages in.

I imagine releases such as Myth and Discworld won't go by unnoticed, they'll make a lot of fanfare on the front page and warn me by email (not to mention I'll probably know about it in this very thread, but that doesn't count), but it does worry me that more unknown stuff such as Black Dahlia and Orion Burger might get lost amidst the sea of indie shit they release.

This is a good start, for example.

The annoying Galaxy program which is more annoying with every new update is bad too.

Yeah, although without the steam comparison still a whole lot of the good old games on gog have issues that vary from seriously annoying to pretty much show stoppers ane not all of them can be externally fixed. But the thing is - it was always like that.

I'm sure you can see the problem on your own here.
