I don't need any other reason. 0 stars if I could.
Making the old games better, distributing them to the masses, and keeping them up and running for posterity! I'm only curious why they didn't start with Blood Omen. Blood Omen has orders of magnitude crappier graphics, and pretty stunning voice-overs, already. That's a head scratcher. No love for Blood Omen GoG?? What's up with that? To be bluntly honest, I'm not totally sure this rework is worth an extra $30..? The new graphics add SO so much to the game, the minute attention to detail helps flesh out the rather sparse world we recall from the old version. The dystopian setting has a bit more dystopian detail. :) I wouldn't call the new graphics stunning, but it's like a big greasy hamburger when you've been working hard all day. It is AWESOME, with a side of awesome sauce! It tickles my fancy in multiple ways, and I couldn't be happier with them. However, the controls, jumping and landing areas are still as quirky as they ever were. You're still gonna spend a minute trying to get on certain platforms and ledges, just like the old game. They could have looked at maybe hammering some of those out, to not be irritating. I would note, that I haven't finished running through the entire game yet, so there might be some surprises in the latter half. The rework still gets 5 out of 5 stars, though, just on principal. This is WHY I shovel cash in to the GoG system, so that games like these get upgraded, and get attention when they need a rework to keep up with modern standards. Bless you GoG, you're doing the work of kings! :)
Suddenly I want a "Hide Games Like This" filter.
This game is somehow a near replica of Ravenloft: Strahd's Possession from 1994.. the wow part, is that they managed to recreate the feel of it, but managed to make it suck up so much computing horsepower that you might as well run it on a vacuum cleaner. Don't get me wrong, it's fun! It's so retro it hurts. Young people can rest assured that this is exactly what gaming looked like 30 years ago. if that's what you want, you've found your niche!
First off, a bundle generally contains a comprehensive package of products to sum up SOME element or other. Not just a random smattering of offerings, because reasons. Second off, someone needs to explain to the corporate knuckleheads at Warhammer what perceived value is. The perceived value of this bundle needs a couple of digits erased off of it. I was sorry I missed the Warhammer Humble Bundle a month or two ago. THIS bundle is a hard pass!
Stop dicking around with the titles of games and mark them as demos or give us a filter to filter them out. Also, put the goram release date BACK in to the game details!
