Steam also gives you the option every time you install agame.

Dumbfuck.

They must have added that option at some point, because I've seen and used guides to move games installed in C: to other drives.

Yes, this was added more than two years ago.

Yeah that's for existing games already installed in your Steam folder. For new installs you can choose where to install, the feature has been there for at least a year.

Edit: 2 years.

More rumours about coming games.

Also, apparently Homeworld Remastered Collection is making its way to GOG as well, and thus GOG should be getting the Duke Nukem games when Gearbox makes them available once more. Again, I'd provide proof but the first rule of counter-terrorism and benign corporate espionage is 'protect the snitch'

 

[Blackstaff]

Yeah. It's SCPM too, so that seems highly possible.

This reminds me that Brothers in Arms games still aren't on GOG for whatever reason. They never get discounts better than 40-50% on Steam, and other sites are peddling UPlay keys.

GoG has a shit library to be honest.

 

[Siobhan]

And all those neat features they promised seems will never arrive. Matchmaking for multiplayer, crossgame chat... it is really a useless application as it is.

What do you expect from a company that couldn't even get something simple like a download client to work? The original gog downloader was (or is it still around?) a bloated, unstable Windows-only monstrosity with Teletubby UI, and given the small feature set they could've just as well implemented it as a WebExtension that runs in every browser. The inofficial lgogdownloader for Linux is being developed by a single guy and outclasses the official one by leaps and bounds. It's downright embarrassing.

Uh, aren't all the numerous mods tied to Steam or something? And what about multiplayer? Can Steam ppl play against gog ppl?

Maybe you mean re-releases of HW1 and HW2 (non-remastered) which have multiplayer disabled by Gearbox?

Actually i have no idea.
That is just copy/pasta of stuff that I found in GOG forums.

 

[Old One]

I wonder whether anyone can help me out here.

There's a guy on GOG.com (I don't know him beyond a couple of chat messages) who wants me to vote for his favorite game on the wishlist: Legend of Dragon Island. The problem is, I can't find any information about this game anywhere. He insists he has the name right, and that it's a strategy game from 1999. I don't mind voting for someone else's game, but I'd like to know whether or not it's even real first. Has anyone heard of Legend of Dragon Island? It seems damned odd that I can't find a scrap of info about it.

Thanks.

P.S. He's the guy who started the wishlist threads for this game, and no one else has voted for it. Very peculiar.

Sounds like it might be one of those fereign knockoff titles that didn't get a lot of play outside its home market. There's a whole lot of them from that time period, which you'd be hard-pressed to find much info on, since the internet was still in its infancy across much of the world then. We still used magazines and shit.

Could he be meaning King of Dragon Pass?

I did some digging - apparently there was such a game released by a Korean studio Triggersoft:
http://www.game-ost.com/games/4826/legend_of_dragon_island/
MobyGames lists Triggersoft, but there is no game like the one described, in their portfolio.
Furthermore - on the image at this Russian site you can see a watermark @MACROSPACE LTD., which is a company releasing mobile games from 2003 upwards.
The image search leads to sites with mobile games, and there is a game called The Legend of Dragon Island to download, apparently made in JAVA, but I was not that interested to see what it really is, perhaps something different and modern, or maybe a mobile port of an old game (but I highly doubt it, most likely the Russian site got the image from google search and it's not the right one for that title).

I was thinking that it's just the developers campaign wanting to gather more attention and advertise his title, but apparently someone asked a similar question in 2008:
http://forums.atomicmpc.com.au/index.php/topic/655-rare-game/

I couldn't find any archived page for this TriggerSoft company, but then again, I didn't try that hard.
On the sites I've found, they list 3-4 games developed by a company with that name, but no title like The Legend of Dragon Island, but sometimes the date for one of the games is shown as 1998, sometimes as 1999, but it's most likely not it.

Any reason to pick Hearts of Iron II rather than HoI : Darkest Hour ? From what I understand, Darkest Hour is just an all-around better HoI II.

Are some of the good mods for HoI II not availble for DH? I'm especially interest in mods that add events. Tons of events.

@ Telengard : Yes, you're probably right about that.

@ Unkillable Cat : I asked him if he was sure he got the name right, and he insisted "Legend of Dragon Island" was correct.

I did some digging...

Thanks, Beowulf. You managed to dig up more than I could. The fellow did say something about Triggersoft, so that must be it. I voted for it, since I couldn't see any harm in it.

Thanks again, guys.
