I know, I just wanted to hear out your reasons since your general complaint of "GOG sux" is becoming more common.

Also, if GOG sucks, why are you still here?

so far i don't see a contradiction with my forum activity and my complaints about gog. in fact there should be much mure users openly complain about all the shit gog is pulling on here. i haven't bought games on here and therefore supported gog to see now how they are becoming more and more to some kind of a weak, unfinished and degenerate steam clone.

Who else is going to remind us all how much Gog sucks? ;P


As for the OPs issue... as much as I hate to say it as I know it will just lead to people complaining, I would bet this is actually Galaxy's fault.
Presumably the new Steam-like system for devs to upload new builds means they just straight upload the newest version of the game, Galaxy is presumably designed to just download whatever files are changed and patch the installation with those, but when Gog makes the offline installers they just package the whole lot as a new installer. Hence no incremental patch.
This is just pure speculation, but it would make sense. And it seems to mostly be a problem with newer games (the ones where the Dev has been given access to the Galaxy uploading system)

Sounds logical, you're probablly right.

People say to not look at peoples rep. But in your case i think its pretty apt. Not sure why ur even here.

Ok I'll bite: what shit are they pulling on here? Just so that I know what I should be openly complaining about. My buying of GOG games has certainly slowed down a lot, but that is probably due to me having most of the catalog already.

EDIT: Ok you already said before that you are not going to say what GOG has done wrong, so I guess we are in a deadlock situation. Oh well, I guess GOG sucks then, for reasons that I don't know. Damn you GOG, for doing... something! Or not doing, or how the hell am I supposed to know?

randomuser.833: ... So the big question is, why there are no patches?
Are the devs to lazy? Or is it GoG?
Hmm, most probably GOG. I mean with the Galaxy client they probably can patch but then (at least last time I checked many months ago) they were sending the patches uncompressed so kind of delaying the download by another method. In the end, probably GOG is not a good service for buying games that need to be heavily patched and without fast internet connections and for big download sized games where uncompressed patches are also big in size. Maybe better use something like Steam then.

mistermumbles: It's kind of come to a point where I'm actually thinking of starting to use Galaxy instead of the downloaded install packages. Hell, most of the time I don't keep the installers around anyway. =/
Hook, line, and sinker :)

Expect the majority of GOG users to be using Galaxy in a couple of years for a variety of 'optional' reasons :)
