Company News $3 Fallout

[Gragt]

In before "but you could torrent it for free and still pay for your cup of coffee!"

"screw this! torrent the coffee too and keep your money, bro!"

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Torrent the money, don't go to work anymore

 

[Gragt]

Torrenting money or singing rap: which is the easiest way to become rich and why?

Discuss!

Speaking of this sale -- any opinions on Divine Divinity? I figure it's worth $3 but looking for opinions on people who actually played it.

Awesome, one of my favorite RPGs ever, and my favorite loot in a game ever. Great soundtrack too. Totally worth it.

Yeah, great game. Just be aware that it has a problem in 64 bit versions of Windows (XP, Vista & 7), in that it slows to a crawl once you go outside. As far as I know, there is no fix for this and the patched GOG version is no different.

If you don't run 64 bit or have a seperate XP x32 box - then no worries, go for it!

Wasn't GOG supposed to fix the games to work on new systems?

It always ran smooth like butter on my Core 2 Duo computer with a Radeon 4870, on Windows 7 64-Bit. Was another story on my laptop with the goddamn Intel graphics.

Hm is Gothic II enjoyable as the first one?

Better.

Money for Fallout 1/2 sales still goes to Interplay.

As far as they can, and it isn't always possible to really fix things without the source code, which is not always available (for instance, it isn't for Fallout 1/2 since Interplay can not legally distribute the source code to anyone, including GOG, without Bethesda's permission, and Bethesda isn't giving it).

 

[FeelTheRads]

I understand. I'm taking a stab at the "but GOG fixed gaemz for me!!!!" people.

 

[Humanity has risen!]

You people should have no problem with purchasing DivDiv legally since, you know, Larian is still in business, and they'll make more DivDiv awesomeness with the money.

They're making an expansion pack to Divinity II in fact.

I had figured, the declaration on GOG threw me, though. Oh well, Herve thanks you.

I'd buy a legit boxed Fallout 1 + Fallout 2 for $9 - $15, but unfortunately Grimoire will be released first than a new repackaged copy of both ever being sold again with all the extras remade. Maybe I'm being just "not up with the modern times", but I prefer purchasing things that have a physical element.

 

[Jason]

I've been seeing the boxed "Fallout Trilogy" (1, 2, & Tactics) all over the place since FO3 was released.

I have 64-bit Win7 system and FO runs perfectly on it therefore your lies fail.

Hey, polacki, he was talking about Divine Divinity.

Which is even more funny, since they shouldn't have a big problem obtaining the source code for that.
