I'm wondering if it's the LOTR IP that for some reason WB can't bring here.

I don't think most people cared about TR 2013 lacking online features here, at least not in the release thread nor the reviews, from what I recall.

I seen in the forum for it and in some threads complaining from varies people over it because of prices the same and several wanting the multiplayer seeing that as ''what the game is meant for'' basically .. I honestly can see the gripes of the price the same as steam when not having multiplayer but I really don't see any difference when I never was a multiplayer guy.. if it was a game that multiplayer is a focus like say ''worms'' or varies fighter games that has multiplayer I would get the outrage

Whatever the case ya it could be a contract reason ..possible why the juraasic games aren't here either

I only ever played Shadow of Mordor but personally I would call it more a Batman: Arkham game with LotR coating. They do have some influences from Ubi games, most visibly Assassin's Creed parkour and Far Cry's base liberating, but many mechanics are copied 1:1 from Arkham games, like combat, predator, gadgets, unlocking new ones upon level-up and a detective mode even.


About those Lego LotR games, I have been wondering myself. The rights to them must have expired i suppose. They just stopped selling them, like they were never a thing 0_o; DC or Harry Potter LEGO are still available though.

Eh that Batman game franchise is copying alot of Ubisoft game formula so basically the same thing I suppose

As for the LOTR lego games console wise I don't think they are on their anymore from what I heard but Steam has em Atleast the US branch for sale I just checked .. But ya its strange they have not had them so up.. I at least get some of the newest dc lego games and the lego movie games not here as they are ''newer '' but still you and me atleast seem to
be in agreement this is a odd case scenario ..

Yeah, I thought they lost their rights for those games... but now I am even more perplexed - as you said, they are on Steam, when I was positive they were de-listed there too about 2 years ago. Strange, but cool, that they're back :)

Hmm... Batman: Arkham games copied Ubi's formula? I don't think I can agree with that statement. I can't think of any features that are similar between these games, aside perhaps for the gadget wheel and collectibles, but even then these two things are significantly different in Arkham and, dare I say, more complex, than in Assassins Creed for example.

There is also the fact that Arkham Asylum and AC2 released the same year, and Arkham was actually a little sooner on that note. Mind you, back then the now-well-known "Ubi formula" didin't even exist yet.

Thanks! That difference - Agony vs patched and uncensored Agony Unrated - is exactly the main reason I've asked here for the opinions. As it's easy to find a lot of reviews, but it's not always obvious how they refer to the current state of the project.
Wow, I didn't know OpenCritic. I always used MetaCritic, but OC looks like, well, kind of ten times better? Thanks!

PS. By the way, after consultaling OpenCritic I'd rather take State of Mind. Safe bet as I love dystopia and it's 90% off. Oh, and Linux version included (:

Oh. So the fact it has been ignored before means it is a non-issue now?

I guess they will be happy to know that, according to you, all they need to do to have a perfect store is ignore customer complaints long enough.

(Some people disagree, tho. Like the boycott and "DRM on Gog" threads people; they keep bringing back flaws that keep going unfixed.
But you do you. )

Eh me and many others agree they have got the Ubisoft ''open world formula '' feel and vibe going on in the newer aspects but that doesn't matter much to me honestly as they are fun games for me in this case and has far more ''soul '' or ''passion'' to em feeling then Ubisoft games

Whatever the case I am not aware of them ever delisted unless maybe it was a tempaory delist or something on the Lego Lotr games or something .. but ya its very odd and perplexing they are atleast still on Steam if not also on console though it could be a legal rights difference on console and pc or something .. Whatever the case its strange indeed whatever the reason is .. I do hope they come here though

So, no Cyber Monday then? *Sigh*

Oh, you meant the newer games! Sorry, was thinking more about Asylum and City honestly. Knight is significantly worser than those two in everything except the story department - which is on par with the other 2.
Origins (although really really fun!) was not made by Rocksteady, so to me it doesn't count in terms of copying; yeah I would say that Origins was the most unoriginal of them all (the story and atmosphere were still great though).
All in all I agree - I love those Arkham games and feel they definetly have "passion" and the smarts/knowledge of the whole DC universe in them.

Regarding Lego still - you can easily find articles about the de-listing. I know I remember the game was hard to come by at a certain point.
Here's one
I also hope they will be available in the future. I consider video games as cultural texts and simply hate when they die out due to things like legal rights. This has happened recently to the Space Hulk games on Steam. Thankfully I still have a copy.

Looks like that, and its a pitty.
For so many years GoG service was almost at high level (in comparison to Steam), but at some point it has fell to low level (low level of good old AAA games that comes to store, low level of good AA games that comes to store, low level of service quality from gog personel, !it feels like even people that work in GoG company not interested in its success!).
+
At least GoG Community (We, Gamers) keep this platform afloat - without any exaggeration.

Yes, a pity indeed... I know we just went through a huge sale, but this is THE holiday for digital stores, right? I don't get this at all.
Nicely said btw. I'd say this is due to The Witcher 3's success in large part. CD Projekt, being a Polish company, made a huge worldwide success and taken it for granted. The Cyberpunk fiasco seems to prove that also. Unfortunately many Polish people are hard workers, but only until they've made it big. After that the standards tend to drop significantly.
I remember a time when this company was trying hard to give quality products to all consumers.
Then again I remember a time when Valve or Blizzard were also held in a much higher standard and dished out better service for PC users.

Thats fair I never really was aware of the delisting is what I was saying then again I wasn't aware of the lego LOTR games or even the Lego POtC game either as I had long sense stopped keeping tabs on games that would be coming out its why several AA or AAA games that pop on here I get interest as they are ''new to me'' from first time hearing of games like Control or Alan Wake or Sleeping dogs .. Just a handfull of examples but ya when you have a huge backlog its expected

Still agreed on the view of video gams you have

mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa =(

It took me a bit to figure out but of course the answer is that this year for Cyber Monday they are sticking a large Cyberpunk 2077 banner in your face, uncluttered by a larger sale. It might even work well for them since there seem to be a fair number of people who only use GOG for CDPR games (i.e. a "get someone who came for CP2077 to the checkout quickly before they have second thoughts" strategy). Featuring a few games of different types might be better for people who don't buy many games than a large sale and for those of us who do buy a bunch of games the Winter Sale usually has better deal anyway. I wonder if they might even start the Winter Sale at the beginning of December this year like they have done a few years.
