SpooferJahk: I have both original Crysis games on disc and Warhead, while more or less a standalone expansion that is a bit short, is fun if you liked the original game. It's more Crysis where you play as Psycho, and in my mind at the very least, that is quite enjoyable.

One thing that does blow is that there is an activation limit for Warhead no matter if you go the disc or digital route, but with some black magic you can circumvent that in the disc version.

Themken: This is why we like DRM free :-) It is all too easy to go through several hard disks in short succession (those spinning ones) with a bit of bad luck and if you keep re-installing that favourite game you are playing right then it might use up the allowed re-installs so when you want to play it again a few years later, it refuses :-(
Why I suggested the black magic. ;)

So what would you like it to be like, a list of mods, maybe by game which are free to download - oh hang on isn't that what moddb and nexus are?
Just look at galaxy, bringing mods here will merely end as a pale imitation of workshop, this is what GOG and all the other companies do, look at steam and try to emulate it. Heck we wouldn't want anything different from steam would we...

chadjenofsky: Didn't Gog used to have mod highlights for games?
Yes, they are normally stored in the game specific forum. Unfortunately many people want things like workshop, so the rest of us can't access that content any more.

Gylfe: Basically I was wondering if anyone who owns it could tell me if it's a significant addition to the story for the series and if it's enough sp content to be worth getting to complete the series.
YES, Warhead is definitely worth playing. In the middle of Crysis 1 the gameplay changes drastically, from open to linear game, and before you know it, the game ends. If you liked the first part of the game and you want more, then play Warhead.

The character you play as in Warhead, appears both in Crysis 1 and plays a big part in Crysis 3. So, you will probably like the story in C3 more if you know who the guy is.

Grargar: Crysis+Crysis Warhead have a chance of showing up this year.
Please :)

I also want Crysis 3 here but that one so far has been exclusive to EA Origin and for some reason my Crysis 3 on Origin can't launch :(

Gylfe: I was just wondering if anyone has Crysis Warhead and if it's any good.

There are a couple series I never bought due to their drm that the box versions are obsolete and I'm losing faith that GOG will be able to get at some point. Crysis, Total War, and Sup Com specifically. I started to buy them where I can find them and got Crysis 1, 2, and 3, but I didn't know about Warhead. Reading about it looks like it's more of a standalone expansion to the first one, only about half the content of the main game, and includes multiplayer. I don't do too much multi anymore due to time, so getting it for that wouldn't be worth it. One of the main reasons I get many of these older games is for the mods and Warhead doesn't have any significant mods that I'm aware of (like the sp Stargate mod for the original).

Basically I was wondering if anyone who owns it could tell me if it's a significant addition to the story for the series and if it's enough sp content to be worth getting to complete the series.

I wish GOG would add a mod section to go along with their games that mod developers could post upcoming mods and offer them for download, kind of the way steam does but just in a forum and not a virus steam p rogram like workshop. I think it would help increase interest in GOG for some and may help boost sales if people see some of the excellent mods that are available. I buy a lot of games I normally wouldn't because I wasn't interested in the base game, but there was one or more really good mods out for it. Unfortunately GoGs versions don't always match up to the steam version and you don't get access to the mods because they don't work with it and they're only available on steam (Sins of a Solar Empire until recently and Homeworld currently for example).

Just a thought. Any input on Crysis Warhead would be greatly appreciated!

nightcraw1er.488: No, we (**clarification**: those of us not wanting this place to morph into a steam-a-like) don't want a mod section like steam workshop. I don't understand this need to mirror steam-like features to other platforms. There are some very good mod specific places out there - moddb, nexus etc. as modding is far more in depth than the shitty reskins that appear on workshop. Modding encompases everything from textures to rebuilding the engine, these can be simple files copies or complicated patching and such like, hence your better off going to a mod specific place where help can be given and such like, rather than putting them in the hands of those who are only interested (not necessarily in a bad way) with making money.
And just to note, if you buy games from steam just because they have workshop you are the problem. Stop using it.
There's nothing about "morph into a steam-a-like" as I refused to play many games I was anticipating due to requiring steam. Adding a mod section to the forum is just logical considering the number of games I, and probably most others, buy just for mods. There are many modders that are only releasing their projects on steam because of their workshop, having our own mod section may inspire some of them to make them available to GoG users. You need to relax... you don't even know who you're righteously attempting to attack for making a suggestion that may attract more customers to GoG.

It's funny because I'm sure I'm one of GoG's original customers in the very beginning and have spent obscene amounts of money on games I already own just to support them, yet some child wants to lecture me on supporting steam.

I appreciate everybody's response on this topic! I think for now I'll hold off on warhead. I ordered 1 - 3 disc versions and I understand 2 and 3 require origin unfortunately. I only ever played the demo, so I'll tear through 1 and see how much I like it (and check any available or upcoming mods of course). That would be awesome to get it on GoG along with the rest of the Far Cry series and I would probably need to change my pants if they ever got Total War!

I am very familiar with this particular form of black magic, in fact I think it's more along the lines of necromacy since you're bringing games back from drm death. I wonder how much these companies are "suffering" due to GoG's drm free releases... maybe that should be a clue to some of these ridiculous developers (EA, Valve).

It is about becoming steam-a-like. Galaxy=steam client, indev=green light, your suggesting to to add workshop. This is specifically attempting to copy steam features. Not to mention there is zero value for Gog, they would need all the associated mechanisms and tools to handle such an endeavour, not to mention support. Then it would only likely be available via the client which excludes a fair few customers.

What would be a better idea is to focus support on sites like moddb and nexus who are built to deal with mods, and are not controlled by a commercial venture. Getting modders to stop using workshop is a key ideal, much like the "just use steam as its easier" mentality. As for linking mods here there is normally a section in the subforums which details all the available good mods.

I will ignore the obvious baiting insults.

Again with the reading comprehension....

Considering my suggestion was a modding section added to the forum so modders could add their mods, so your little tantrum has no place in this topic.

Thanks

They didn't, but user SCPM found they created suport pages for games that weren't here:
https://www.gog.com/forum/general/games_that_are_unofficially_confirmed_for_release_in_the_future_part_2/post3811

GOG deleted the pages soon after that, so they give a 404 error now. I think 12 of the 21 games on that list are now on GOG. I believe Crysis + Crysis Warhead will appear in max 1-2 months.

OMG that very promising. It would be great to have it here. The MP communities now use a third party client, so there's no need to tie those to steam or orgin.
