Don't forget to pay the tax... ;)

That's what I meant by 'unforseen consequences' :) Made me feel like shit.

It's not a misleading review. It's not my ISP that's the problem and I don't understand how you can be so obtuse about it. Files are customarily broken down so that you're not left having to download a file this size. Basically things can and do go wrong, a bit of cosmic radiation hits the part of the disk that's storing the file, or noise interferes wtih the signal going over the connection and enough bits get flipped that the file is corrupted. Assuming that the sever reads the file correctly in the first place. Then you've got a 12gig download that's corrupted and have to download it again.

Honestly, are you really that ignorant as to think that this is a specific problem to me and my internet connection? I'm hardly the only one to have left a review indicating that the download method was poorly conceived of and could result in wasting a massive amount of bandwidth.

Obviously, it's not GOG's fault for choosing an incompetent method of distribution and people shouldn't be warned that the GOG Downloader that the OSX people get to download their similarly sized file, that includes error correction, isn't available for Linux, even if we use an OSX or Windows computer is a "knee-jerki" reaction.

Get over yourself, if you don't want to be lumped in with assholes, you might want to actually think about how ridiculous you're being.


EDIT: BTW, Blood 2 is basically the same thing, they're selling games that people might not be able to use. However, unlike WL2, they're more transparent these days about being willing to give a refund. When I bought Blood 2, there were no refunds and so I had a copy that I couldn't use for at least a year before I bought a new GPU that wouldn't CTD when I tried to play.

All of GOG's files are stored into 2 CDNs. Akamai (for paid stuff) and Amazon (for free stuff). Both of those 2 CDNs have an excellent track record of delivering their content properly, assuming the content on the server is correct.
Once we've eliminated the servers as problematic, we move to distribution of the files. That is your ISP. You claim that your ISP is not at fault, so let's work with that assumption.
The third and final part is the end user. The end user chooses the method to download the file, out of the methods he/she has available. Usual method is the browser, not so usual method is download managers (GetRight, FlashGet, etc) and command line tools (wget, Invoke-WebRequest, etc). A method that supports resuming is highly recommended, especially since the servers support resuming broken downloads.

So, the servers are not at fault, otherwise noone would have been able to get the files. Your ISP is not at fault (according to you), so the end user must be at fault.
Feel free to ask for help on getting the files to resume, or ask us to give you alternatives to your browser to be able to download your files.

P.S. Did you also leave a similar review on The Witcher 2? Or is that file ok, even though it's larger than Wasteland 2?


Edit: Since I haven't followed this incident that closely, did you contact GOG support for this? They have had provided ftp links in the past, though mostly for older installers, and you should be able to use any ftp client to get the file correctly, assuming of course your ISP didn't crap out on you.

Im just wondering that people are so much talking about this negative review - where was it actually made since I can't find it on the game profile page.

It's on the Classic Edition.

I have been mostly avoiding spoilers. And all I want to ask is did this game lived up to the hype and millions of kickstarter dollars well spent? Is it the true CRPG that RPG Codex guys have been yearning for after all these years? (Those guys hated Morrowind :(

(I take it you have beaten the game or at least gotten very far?)

I have Angel Oracle on my map, I guess it's around half point of the game. Certainly it's a solid experience - more fighting that I'd like (as a fan of Torment and Fallouts that can be finished without a single shot) but the world is rich, the quests are plenty, the factions are interesting and the game is really enjoyable.

Why don't you play it and decide for yourself?

But yes, I'm finding the game more enjoyable than the Fallouts.

Yes, thats the message I got from support ...

"We're working on the functionality of generating a GoG key and should be finished later in the week."

I will just wait as long as it takes for the GoG key :)

Codex dudes seem to like it.

I've been playing the game since last year myself and I've to say the released game feels much better than the beta builds, naturally.

It should be available now. They announced two days ago on the Obs forums that it was available. I redeemed mine that evening.

I think you are the one who needs to get over yourself, mate. Now you are claiming it is "cosmic radiation" corrupting the file? That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Now I am suspicious that you are just trolling.

And stop calling people assholes! The GOG community does not need hateful, knee jerk trolls who post useless, misleading one star reviews on the game pages.

Go contact GOG first if you are having technical difficulties.

Never mind, it's clear that he can't comprehend this anyways.

FFS can you take the argument to PMs?
