I bought it blind on gog when it was on sale, visual novels aren’t my thing usually, but it did not have the anime look so I thought I gave it a try and drop it after half an hour.

Turns out it was one of the most impressive games I played these last years. What a mindfuck!

And the ending warmed my cold heart!

So I wanted to watch a review on YouTube, and what! The! Fuck! I had no idea how different (and gruesome) this game could get! Soon it’s holiday time, and it’s on my top list of things to do! Let’s see how I can fuck things up!

Nonono, that’s it!!! I totally missed the link :)

After fiddling with my original CDs back two years I gave up and installed these! Wide-screen, stable, high resolutions, perfect! I was so happy fans decided to get them running again!

A friendly reminder to everyone: there is a fan project, part 1 and 2 updated to run on modern systems. They have their own page, the full games can be downloaded from there, and they just work. Just Google the title and fan update.

Oh man, I hope so!

I prefer their games over anything Bethesda/Diablo/whatever stuff.

Their games, as clunky and weird they sometimes are, have soul and passion. I’m playing Risen 2 at the moment, and I just love the world. So much too see, every corner has something to find, even if it’s just a bottle of Rum.

I started to play a year ago, but dropped it pretty fast. Though I really liked it.

If they put in the effort and implement a good save game system and proper mouse/keyboard controls, they can have my money!

I lowered the difficulty, and I were able to kill bigger enemies with the weapon of my choice. But they became bullet sponges. There’s no fun in that. I too prefer 2016, I like my shotgun.

Rated PG. It can work (The old Mortal Kombat movie), but this looks like crap.

It’s Retro Man Cave! I had no idea he had a new name, no wonder I have not seen him in such a long time!

I was expecting at least one Thomas The Tank Engine cameo somewhere!

Well, time to get Witcher 3 installed again…

You’re absolutely right, what pisses people of is that you can’t do shit without launchers today anymore, except for gog.

The Discs are yours, regardless if it’s a license or not, they just work whatever the publisher says.

Always on, Games as a service and game launchers and all that shit is a cancer that has to be cured.

Well, they will kill the servers sooner or later, and you won’t be able to play it ever again.

Except you look for other ways, maybe you’re in luck.

If anyone can tell me how to get rid of the bar at the bottom, that would be nice. I don’t need a taskbar or a line, it’s a fucking tablet.

I takes a few millimetres of real estate, it sucks.

Edit: Android 12.

Isn’t that this Windows imitation I sometimes hear about?

(I have a death wish I guess)

But on a serious side: I need an easy to use Linux system next year for my parents who are not very tech savvy. Do you have a recommendation for easy use that feels like Windows? It will only be used for browsing, open office and stuff.

I watched “The man who knew too much” from the 50s yesterday. Doris Day might be the female role he likes. Obedient. Her husband tells her what to do, she is on a nervous breakdown constantly. Good times?

I prefer modern women anytime!!

New games without bugs are always a good thing.

I’m not excited just because my backlog is huge, I maybe play this in about ten years when it has gotten a bit smaller.

That’s the problem, there are too many games and so little time. But I agree, this doesn’t seem to be the next unfinished buginfested piece of shit but actually worth it’s money.

If you would now excuse me, I’ve got to get back to Arx Fatalis. Backlog…

I replayed Mirror’s Edge a few days ago, with modern hardware in 4k, it still feels stunning! It has aged exceptionally well, thanks to the art style.

The only thing I did not like were the fights. They slow the gameplay and just felt tacked on as an afterthought, thankfully many fights can be avoided by simply running past the enemy.

Highly recommended!

I miss cheats, there are times I just want to be in god mode without having to download dubious trainers.

Besides that I agree with everyone, micro transactions, loot boxes, games as a service, always online are an instant “no buy”. Also DRM. If it’s not on gog I don’t buy it.

The second one is also a masterpiece! The only FMV game that actually doesn’t suck!

And for anyone who wants to play part 3 read the guide to get it to run smoothly on the gog forum. Believe me, you don’t want to play it without the guide.

This German ad for Quake is awesome too!

They make The Crew unplayable in a month, without any chance to ever play it again.

And they expect me to pay 70 € for this? What?

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, oh, no, you won’t!
