Well my "new" PC's are most the time 2 years outdated, sometimes more and i never buy a new one.
I could buy a new one every 3years but most likly it's only a waste of money.
Did it once and half of the new shiny top art stuff did not work, the first three month 8 of 10 days it was back at the shop to do repairs/-Comp.-changes, then i could not use it because it needed some replacement part for 400,-...
Noadays the hardware evolves very fast but often the stuff is only at alpha or beta-state, like many games.
Better to by something that was topart 2 years ago but has gold-state now, it's faily cheap (much cheaper then buying a new one) and you know what you get. You might miss some new AAA-titles but hey...they will be still there in 2 years, costing only 10-20 instead of 50+bucks.

Nice to have the option not to be outdated, thinking in purely personal gratification terms. But on a bigger scale, terribly wasteful.

But heh, this PC was probably the weakest I had compared to the norm at the time of purchase, or weakest after the first, but at the time having a computer here was quite unusual in itself, just a few years after the Revolution, and I was little too, so it seemed amazing either way.

System history:

Only console: A NES clone, possibly a Dendy?

PCs:
- Odd one out (was it '91? or we already had the computer but with parents mostly using it this was for me for a while? may have been '91, not sure): ZX Spectrum clone (Cobra) with 48k memory
- 1992: 386 SX 16 MHz, 512 kb probably Trident video card, 2 Mb RAM and I think 120 Mb HDD. Some chance it may have just been 80 Mb.
- 1994: 486 DX2 66 MHz, same video card as above, 4 Mb RAM later upgraded to 8 Mb, 540 Mb HDD.
- 1998: Pentium II 266 MHz, S3 Virge 4 Mb, 32 Mb SDR 66 MHz RAM later upgraded to 64 Mb, 3.2 Gb HDD with a 20 Gb one added I think in late 2001.
- 2002: Pentium 4A 2 GHz, GeForce 2 Ti 64 Mb, 512 Mb DDR RAM which in 2006 went down to 256 Mb as one module failed, the 20 Gb HDD mentioned above replaced with a 160 Gb one I think at the start of 2005.
- 2008: Core 2 Duo E8400 3 GHz dual-core, initially GeForce 8400 256 Mb upgraded to GeForce GTS 250 1 Gb in 2009, 2 Gb DDR2 1066 MHz 5-5-5-15 RAM, initially 500 Gb HDD replaced with a 250 Gb 10000 rpm one in early 2013 (a 500 Gb remained as backup, as the plan was 240 Gb SSD + 250 Gb HDD as main, but the SSD hasn't happened even now).
- 2015: Pentium G3440 3.3 GHz dual-core, just using the integrated graphics, 4 Gb DDR3 1600 MHz 9-9-9-24 RAM, same HDDs as the upgraded configuration above but OS at the moment on the 500 Gb one.

As you can see, increasing amount of time between builds, drawing as much as I can out of each, but they were also getting closer to current-level performance at the time of purchase as time went on, then this one fell back again in 2015. Ah well. The game with the highest requirements played on it was Tropico 4 (and Gone Home if you count it a game - didn't care about the sluggishness in that one so dialed it up and let it stay at low fps).

Anybody who tried both knows if this one is anything like Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun? That one is a great one and it would be nice to try something similar (or different but also good).

They're not similar except ,maybe the isometric perspective. In Shadow Tactics you controll several characters through missions, in Seven only one. Seven is closer to an isometric Thief or Dishonored. :)

Thanks, pal! This does not sound bad at all!

Demos are always appreciated, glad the developers added one!

Dear gog.com support,

in the bundle you sell the same game twice, normal edition and collectors edition and then the discount kicks in. A little misleading. But i had a good laugh thank you.

Have a nice day.

Even if it doesn't end at least we have GOG and there are enough gaming coming out that you could make game playing your full time job (if only it payed lol) and still not run out of content without ever having to touch a drm infested client only or always online title (personally I'll except always online from my MMOs but I'm more of a single player gamer and theres zero reason those need to be always online games). The crazed invasive mentality of certain games publishers is what made me bid farewell to both xBox and Playstation after years as a multi platform gamer I'm now desktop only because it's the place where I actually get to own the games I buy.

Fun to hear a bit about the path others have taken on the subject, thanks for sharing folks :)
Just tested it, as of one minute ago it's working on my end so it seems they got your memo :)

I remember that the game was quite fun, but had some bugs that made some stages un-passable. One patch hit a while ago and fixed most of the stuff, but I'm not sure how many issues are still in the game.

This demo might really help some people :-)

A demo is alway appreciated, but since I know already I want to buy and play the whole game, I won't spoil it for myself by playing the demo.

Thanks GOG, will definitely try out the demo.

Never seen a game with reviews so contradicting to each other, especially difficulty wise. Must be a great game.

It's over the top expensive.

Perhaps at 90% discount.

thanks for the demo, will give it a go

They charge €30 here, not a whole lot for such a nice looking new game and then there is the 30% off and the money back due to fair price. How much does the game normally cost where you are? Sure it is a bit of money when you are low on funds, like me and, it seems, you.

I would also like to thank you for the demo. Now I can try if my computer can handle it.
