You raised some good point there. I'm kinda inclined to agreed with you. But i think this is not the right place to discuss deeply about politic and propaganda. You know, people came here just to have some fun, not to stressed themselves with real world issue.

I'm expecting a raging torrent of hate when Daikatana comes out. I, for one, am looking incredibly forward to it, and I'm hoping they consider some of my suggestions, extras, and information I sent to them regarding the release when the time comes. Unfortunately, my fairly lengthy love letter to GOG ended up where the rare few other support inquiries I've sent them have ended up; in the capable hands of JuriJ. I didn't truly expect it to be read, much less by anybody I wanted reading it, but jeez.



The reply: That's a really generic response for a question I didn't actually ask. I didn't ask if Daikatana was coming, I had some suggestions for when it comes and provided helpful materials for the staff to use and/or enjoy for themselves, particularly while testing it in the future. They didn't have to confirm or deny anything, just let me know that they liked what I said and shared my message and materials with the rest of the GOG staff. This is why I love JuriJ. I made it INCREDIBLY clear that I had an understanding of and respect for the process. In fact, I was worried I may have been too wordy. This is just outright patronizing. GOG may as well route their suggestions and feedback to some ex-AOL employees somewhere in India if they're not going to take this seriously (...or maybe it's taking it too seriously that's the problem. My feedback was responded to in the briefest, most professional and matter-of-fact manner with little regard, criticism, or [specific] thank yous for my input, which I can only imagine went unread. I wasn't seeking answers, it was a very casual dialog. It wasn't much, but it was really aimed at the GOG staff as a whole to consider. I probably should resend it to TheEnigmaticT or something...). :/ I... I don't even want to talk about it anymore. I've been on GOG for over a year, I made it very clear in that very message that I understood the difficulties they face in releasing new games. Hell, I've watched all the YouTube videos and even sat through those hour-long livestreams of theirs. It's sort of an unpleasant sort of feeling to care about GOG, promote them, invest hundreds in them, and find that, with every support message I send, the few that are actually responded to are... well, sometimes it just seems like they just don't seem to give a damn in return. :(

I'd actually really like to see Daikatana make its way to GoG. For all the hubris, for all the hype, a lot of people forget what an ambitious game it was. I think a lot of people only remember the "John Romero is going to make you his bitch" ad campaign, and not the amount of work and ideas that went into what was eventually turned out to be a pretty disappointing product. It had some cool ideas that ultimately weren't implemented very well.

I'd like to revisit it someday, see how I feel about it now.

Not at all, but I've spent enough time in Fresno and Plymouth to know that the ones that scream loudest in the US - politicians and religious fundamentalists mainly - are the ones that believe that if you're not with them, you can only be against them.

I'm aware that the majority of Americans are perfectly normal people, and they're the sorts of people that extremists - be it the right-wing militarists, left-wing extremists or religious extremists - just can't get their head around.

Because these people are simply not interested in hearing what the fundamentalists have to say, they are automatically lumped in with their ideological opponents. That's my point.

But when I think about it, it's not really all that different here in Europe. The extremists are just less media-savvy here.

I will buy this game. Though it doesn't have the best graphics, AI, or game mechanics I do like some of its ideas. I like the improvement of the characters via a rank system, giving commands to a squad and taking time to heal up fallen squad mates. I have Conflict: Vietnam and really enjoyed the character development and situations more than the FPS portion.

Yes, many here will think I'm crazy but I still think this is good release and I look forward to playing it.

But it is a nice game:

As long as you can admit that your continent is not so different from mine, I'm not in a position to argue. Assuming you were hoping for another game being released on Thursday, what were you looking forward to?
