What, no post for Akiba's Trip?

Maybe it was's tripped down for parts?

I don't remember seeing a new post for Dysmantle either..

GOG, how am I supposed to keep abreast of possibly interesting games when you don't list them?

Also, make sure they have their own sub-forum.

I hope this means that we will be getting Hellbound and Debriefed as well. (Remaster of the first game in the series)

It's mentioned in the sale post

Weird isn't it?

my potahtoe can't run it so meeeh. guess i'll watch the let's play videos and fap to doujins.

Didn't even know you could have a Reputation in negative here, guess there must be a reason for that.

I think the artist formerly known as GameRager (now...gamezranker or something - sorry) is currently in the "lead" at -2172.

"Reason" on the other hand is a bit in the eye of the beholder - the short answer is gog created a system that was well-intended but is prone to abuse esp. once people figured out how to maximize abusing it, and even in its best days was probably only a proxy for anything meaningful.

Any post that is low rated gets you up to -5 per day IIRC, whereas you get +1 for posting per day, and I want to say +2 per day for a high rated post. So it is actually easier to go down than up if a small group or even one person willing to waste the time making multiple accounts wishes to make it so.

So if you consistently get low-rated posts either naturally or more likely as above where its coordinated, you can descend quite fast. So negative reps certainly happen, and isn't necessarily a good tell about the quality of someone's posts.


It's one reason many giveaways have moved away from rep as a requirement, and why regulars know to either ignore it entirely, treat rep as a source of amusement/scorn, or at least read it with a large grain of salt.

Maybe developers need to pay some fee for such marketing? Maybe XSEED declined it. The same happened to Killer Is Dead. Don't know what happens behind the scenes, though.

Maybe gog were afraid that they'd get many messages from gamers and they'd have to pull it from their catalogue...

Well, I also missed noticing this release.

This one might've been because it's possibly political(crowbar logo, crowds of people, released in the 2020s, etc), and GOG might not have wanted to make a thread for it because of that.

Sidenote: I think for less popular games gog should combine sub-forums somehow.
(we already have near 3k subforums afaik)

Why? Does it have winnie the pooh in it as well? ;)

Everything is "possibly political". For games, that's ok..unless it's included (or excluded) on a biased weighted scale.

I disagree about combining sub-forums most vehemently!
I'd think they should copy steam DRM more there. Make them their own little forum and sub-forum thingies..
Link all game pages to their own forum, and have an overarching series forum, even dev forum above that.
And have a way to get back to the game page. Allow guides, etc.

I meant it seems to be capitalizing on current events to make a buck...like the covid game and others.

I meant mainly for less popular games, where the game gets few threads....and maybe combined into forums like sa-sh, sh-sz, etc.

Also add tags to title listings if possible, for easier searching.

Btw some of your other ideas like guides and etc sound good.
