Actually at this moment you only get the EE, no original game.

Anyone else read this and think of the 1990's MMO and wonder which games from the 70's he was talking about?

"Note: Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition features the unaltered original version and the Enhanced Edition in one definitive collection exclusively on GOG.com."

I believe the only people that don't get the original version, are the ones who already owned the classic.

If that's the case that should have been advertised correctly before taking people's money. All previous EE had a redeem code so it was correct to assume that would happen also with PST. During the checkout I was never informed that I couldn't get part of the product because I have already it in my account. All those things are GOG's shortcoming.

You'll have to ask the support.

Have you checked your email yet?
Perhaps your code was sent this way.
It's not the usual way, but anything is possible.

Asked the support. The game is added directly to your account only if you don't already own it. No redeem code like the previous EE. It's incredible that they managed to fail to communicate that clearly beforehand, it's almost like it was intended. However I asked for a refund.

I wonder if it's to avoid people reselling / trading the keys to the classic version.
Whatever the reason is, they should've been more clear in the post (and game page), I agree.

Ok but does that "remastered" soundtrack really sound better than the original one? IMO the 10 bucks price tag for this OST is still a rip off.

No one notice the enhanced graphical bugs in the screenshots? The characters seem to be standing over some of the ceiling elements.

Cheers for the reply, i fixed it and replied to the other thread i created under the game section so i'll repeat the fix here:

sudo apt install libjson0:i386


Game works a treat now, classic version has all sorts of audio issues for me on Linux and video problems on Windows 10.

This works just fine now :)

Me?
30 years old gamer.

I have original box.
Never felt compelled to buy the download.

I could buy the EE.

Having played for a couple of hours - if you like the original its worth it. Widescreen support, cleaner graphics, nicer audio and it just works (barring the issue i had above, on Linux).

GOG's review system is very much like their forums. The reviews are systematically gameable by a small and vocal minority lynch mob. Not only without any ability to prevent it, but also without consequence (although that's changing a bit in the forums). To make it even worse, it is gameable by people who have not even bought a game. Anyone can low-rank a game and give it a bad review just by creating a GOG account, or 100 accounts for that matter and GOG does not do anything at all to prevent this.

When a system is this gameable it is no wonder that some people notice it and form lynch mobs to attack the system, because they feel they now have an ability to control things and fight against a publisher or developer in a way that might affect their bottom line. It's no wonder that it happens really, and in fact I would expect it to because there will always be people out there who look for ways to game a system like this to "have their voice heard".

It's happened on Steam too in the past but Valve has revamped their review system many times over the years to stem abuse, such as requiring someone actually own the game in their Steam account thus proving that they not only own the game, but that they own the exact version of the game being sold in the Steam store. It also displays the number of hours a person has spent playing the game, which while itself is gameable by simply opening a game and ALT-TAB'ing out of it and leaving it sit there for days/weeks on end accumulating game time, very few people are likely to ever go to that extent to leave a bad review, but aside from that if a review is good or bad and someone shows only 0.2 hours of game time logged, one can gauge the value of that person's words more adequately.

GOG would not be able to implement that to the same degree of effectiveness however as they would only be able to track game time of people who have launched the game via Galaxy and choose to have game time tracked (which it has been forcibly tracked to date, not sure if the option to disable it is present yet or not).

The bottom line though is that the GOG review system is simply not reliable in any way shape or form and does not even remotely begin to technologically handle things properly in any meaningful way. It is essentially 1990s era web technology and algorithms that do not take into account how people try to abuse these things and amplify their own voice to slant for or against a given game/publisher/developer.

The best that any of us can actually do that doesn't depend on GOG or anyone else doing anything, is to simply not trust any GOG reviews whether they're good or bad, and instead seek 3rd party reviews that are from more reliable sources and do our own due diligence homework on a game before buying it.

I believe that GOG will eventually replace the shitty review system, but not until their company grows much larger and can afford to hire many more developers to stand a chance to even begin to upgrade the site on a regular basis to handle emerging needs, threats/vulnerabilities in gaming the systems, etc. Maybe the money CP2077 and Gwent bring in once they're released will be enough to grow the parent company big enough to double or triple their dev team size. We'll have to wait and see.

I can't say for sure as I haven't bought it but whether or not the remastering is highly noticeable I certainly expect it to sound a lot better 'even' at 320 kbps.

I think the price tag is pretty standard for a lossless FLAC release of a soundtrack. Furthermore, I'm all for supporting the composers and I can only assume they each receive a significant slice of the cake.
