with that attitude I would given up on fallout 1, dark souls, the longest journey, the witcher 1, deus ex 1, hitman, dungeon keeper, morrowind...
there are so many games that I started to like after a while but when I started to play them I did not like.

thanks for release, wishlisted!

"Blow's previously arrogant as hell attitude towards GOG"
- any archive of that? I would probably like to read it, I sort of don't understand what's not to like about GOG, so I'm quite curious.

About changing his mind... well, every dumb-one is free to change his mind after he learns better, so I'm fine with that, benignant approval from me.

I don't understand, or something is lost in translation quite possibly. In any case, everybody is different in the end.

Do you have the Binding of Isaac game already ? its available drm free 4.99 euros at gamersgate
i got it long while ago because everyone was talking about it here i bought it, but i havent played it , its not my type of game, i'd rather see nightlong union city conspiracy and more games like that (no 3d/fpp), imho you can never have enough point and click, they have atmosphere, are thrilling and usually they have good graphics, its like being part of a movie or so when you play these games, i dont favor blunt violent or brainless action/shooter games.

I like rpg, not all but the ones that allow you to 'get into the game' when playing these games its like you are actually there , its hard to explain but thats why i like point and click games best.

Thats why i liked the jagged alliance classic, c&c classic, red alert classic, baldurs gate classics, fallout classic, only the classic versions not the 3d/fpp versions, but the old classic games are the ones that 'absorb' you...

If i want to play a game when having little time i play one of the hundreds casualgames i have, or play one of the 200 hidden object games, nice graphics in any game are a must for me.
So there are games that can be played anytime , any place ,anywhere, thats why i have the gamesfreak as name, the number is because all the good names were already taken so then its adding numbers till you get a name that is still free to use.

Finally a GREAT OLD GAME.

I mean there are a lot of game that in the beginning I did not like.
After some time I liked them.
games with no great first impression:
fallout 1, dark souls, the longest journey, the witcher 1, deus ex 1, hitman, dungeon keeper, morrowind... .


Out of curiosity, what was that you could not understand in the other message? (I mean, you are probably right something was lost in translation... but I don't know what).

Depends partly on the genre, I guess. The steeper the learning curve of the game, the more likely it is you need to play it longer to appreciate it. At least for me. E.g. strategy games, RPGs and flight simulations might be such.

If I'd go with my early impressions:

Master of Orion is a bad game (because I don't understand what I am supposed to do in it, I need to read an online tutorial which explains what to do)

Civilization is a bad game (the same reason as above)

X-Com: UFO Defense is a bad game (I started enjoying it after I got over the initial phase of figuring out what to do, and my soldiers got some better weapons and armor)

Diablo 2 is a bad game (only later in the game I started finding things to enjoy and look for in the game)

Dungeon Keeper (I didn't understand many things of the game until the very end of the game, and/or reading some online FAQs).

I don't know... I guess when you said 'with that attitude...', however I gave two examples.

I think I read the last line back to front too: 'there are so many games that I started to like after a while but when I started to play them I did not like.'
Probably would have understood - There are so many games that I didn't like at the beginning, but grew to enjoy them after some time.

So I guess I read it differently than intended... who would expect confusion in a place like this? :p

I don't have anything direct on hand, I do know that he called GOG dicks on twitter when he didn't approve of their contract, and when originally approached over the Witness he called the offer "predictably lame" and went on a rant about how his game will only be sold on stores he "needs to be on".

Braid really deserves a timeless DRM free version. I'm happy the developer changed his mind.

And what do you mean by "underperforming" on Steam? According to Steamspy it has 100k owners, and considering there are a few who also got it DRM free from Humble, that's not to shabby at all. Any source on this?
It already had several timeless DRM free versions.... Have had it for years....
