If Cleve Blakemore is correct, expect more Orwellian like Curation on the store in the future. Cause that what you get when you have people with personal tastes involved with releases. Nodoy shares the same opinion on everything and there are these days enough bigoted people that will deny some people their favorite games, for instance, what they are doing right now.

They might as well be saying that "we can't disclose the details re who we are and what we stand for, but you can definitely trust us!" lol

I remember whjen GOG was more about getting good old games here and they actually cared(or seemed to more at the time) about people wanting good old games that are DRM free. Now it's more like what others said: "Let's get ANY game here that's new/will be easy to add to to the store & make us money because actually working on negotiating old releases for the site/getting them to run on modern OSs is too hard/not that profitable anymore".

When a company starts hiding behind blanket disclaimers/replies and won't divulge much you just KNOW said company is that much more trustworthy and doesn't have anything at all to hide. 0.o

Vaporum, as it turns out, has a mode that stops time whenever you're not doing anything, turning the game into an approximation of a turn-based game. (This was added in an update.)

(Also, if you haven't already, make sure to get Elminage Gothic, which is quite similar to the early Wizardry games, but with much more content and some interesting approaches to balance (there's lots of enemies designed to be weak against a particular ability a certain class gets, and that many players will overlook even if they have that ability).)

Edit: Also, I believe Bard's Tale 4 has a mode that makes it grid-based. (Also, it's worth noting that Bard's Tale 2 has timed death snare puzzles, and from what I understand Mary Skelter has some real time chase elements.)

What about my welcome? (Well, technically its GameRager's welcome, but that doesn't change the fact that it's an incomplete sentence.)

Their bad PR has left them blowing in the wind.

Or the reverse can happen, like what happened with the initial post of this thread. (It was low rated at one point, then it became high rated later, and now it's neutral.)

I have had innocent posts with no content that could even remotely be considered political be downrated.

By the way, the way the forum always goes to the last page in the thread after a reply makes it rather annoying to reply to multiple posts in the same long thread.

Agreed. (Two examples of popular games I don't like are Baldur's Gate and Final Fantasy 7.)

what do you mean? it is your welcome.... that's exactly what it says....

True......I just laugh at the fact that some seem to think it'll accomplish much in the way of changing someone they dislike(especially as they usually don't tell those they downrate WHy they are doing so) as if downrating worked like a parent punishing their errant child.

As for the posting/page advancing: I usually open a duplicate tab for this reason(so I can grab multiple replies for multi quotes and keep the original position I was at on a thread marked for reference).

In the states we usually say you're welcome...as in you are welcome.

no - it is "your welcome"

so it is even yours

It's a noun phrase; there's no verb, so it's not a complete sentence. You've established what you're talking about (the welcome), and you have a possessive pronoun (your), but you don't say anythig about it.

(If you feel like I'm just beeting around tbe bush, maybe you are missing an apostrophe somewhere?)

I will have noun of that... I take back my welcome now, you can not have it anymore. It is "my welcome" now, not yours

Finally, the thread became fun and constructive.

lol, this truly is nugog in a nutshell: Fuck up completely and thoroughly while keeping this haughty facade of condescending "we know what's best for you" arrogance. Sorry, the time for civility is over. If I were the recipient of this copypaste job, I'd tell the sender to go choke on his soy latte.

Being selective does not equal retarded.

Still going with the "We're better than the rest" line of bullshit, eh? SMH

lololol, this is hilarious! So these sorry, pathetic, barely literate news posts that usually are 2-3 lines of text is what constitutes as "proper exposure" and "giving justice to each game" these days? You know, back in the day, they'd have The Enigmatic T (was it T?) write these massive essays for every release, that put the publishers' official blurb to absolute shame. The current newsposts barely reach the level of quality you'd expect from a youtube comment.

I call bullshit on that one.

Yeah, theyre bullshitting alright...

Please take your appreciation and shove it. - Signed: a longtime gog customer

On a related note: Reading the Regions of Ruin thread, I'm beginning to suspect gog is nurturing a particularly undiscerning breed of customers. The kind of customer that says "I don't really need this, but it's cheap. If it sucks, I'll only have flushed a little money down the toilet." Hey, it worked for me for the longest time. It only changed when the number of duds that gog released grew bigger and bigger that I began to question that line of thinking. In retrospect, I wouldn't even want a game like "Oh Sir... The Insult Simulator" for free. I'd rather pay $30 for a game I actually want than $1 each for 30 games that should be abolished under the Geneva Convention.

Brand loyalty to good old gog prevented me from questioning my buying practices before. Even as gog merrily chipped away one of their basic "principles" after the next, I still stuck around. But these last few instances of "curation" really made me think long and hard about how this place is just not for me any more.

Looking at the Regions of Ruin thread, I'm torn. On the one hand, I get mad at the users that go "Yeees! Give us more cheap feed that we can go on mindlessly consuming!". On the other hand, I should be thankful for them. Part of me can't wait for nugog to implode. But another part of me doesn't want my library to go up in flames, so I guess it's a good thing these less discerning users keep this flophouse afloat.

1) For some reasons I don't see high chances for this one though. :(

2) But what could have this game have so controvertial? I mean is a classic dungeon crawler with animeish graphic instead of typical western...

3) I love GOG, otherwise I wouldn't prioritize it over steam, but it's like they are forcing me to buy games from steam because either there is no japanese support, no content I want, or worse they rejected what I would have bought here in the first place. :(


I insta bought mary skelter the moment it was released on GOG and felt pleasantly surprised: it was way more polished than moero chronicles (steam only sadly) in every way, and like you I'm hoping for the sequel to be released on PC and GOG aswell.

Vaporum is another good game, but I'm more toward turn based rpg than real time ones, still a great game nonetheless. :)
