Precursors
I own a copy of this game, bought on GamersGate before I joined GOG.
Issues:
- The game was NEVER finished, it was released as is when the developer disappeared, and what exist of the story ends in a cliffhanger.
- It is protected by Star-force and I CANNOT play it again so far, since the last computer I played in on went out of order with the possibility for me to de-activate it.
- There were a number of bugs since it was never finished; there is an unofficial patch 2.0 at https://www.moddb.com/downloads/start/199790?referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.moddb.com%2Fgames%2Fthe-precursors, but I could never test it.
I recently played through the steam version. The only thing I installed in addition is the patch by wesp. I didn't have any big issues. I'd also say that the russian voice-acting actually adds a good amount of charm. The english in the cutscenes is absoluely horrible.
According to Wikipedia, this was available from other digital distributors with the community patches included. If it was available from GOG in such a state, I'd buy it immediately. So would a lot more people than have clicked the + button.
Yup, an updated version of this would be nice. Mind you, I can live with russian voice and english subtitles. But the bugs? Really, some fixed version would be nice.
Yeah, would be nice, especially considering that the versions of Precursors and Xenus 2 on Steam are the unfixed, unfinished ones (severe sound issues and all of that).
Precursors was recently released on Steam. Hoping GOG is able to negotiate distribution rights for it too.
Yes! I would like this, in addition to White Gold: War in Paradise, which is by the same Ukrainian studio (Deep Shadows). Perhaps GOG could arrange a licensing deal for the two games together? There is NOWHERE online to buy this or White Gold. :(
Yeah, and I'd really like to see this (as well as Boiling Point) on GOG. This is the kind of stuff I'm here for.
Good game. Have some bugs, but good :)
Can't buy it anywhere, pretty sure even Beamdog took it off their store.
Hidden (and mistranslated) gem!!!!
From the creators of Xenus II: White Gold & Boiling Point: Road to Hell
bring it back!
Would love to play this game...I bought it from gamersgate and they have no serial numbers...
It's the drm that's holding me back from getting this. Would love to see this on gog with a listing for the addon mods and patches.
More strange post-Eastern Block games please!
Please bring this game on GOG!
That rubik's cube thing really cracked me up:) www.mobygames.com/game/windows/precursors
Yeah, I feel like a big part of their lack of sales upon initial release was the inclusion of *gag* Starforce DRM *hack! cough!*
I would LOVE to see this game on here.
Less than 50 requests??? Come on! THIS is the kind of game which should have it's first international release on GOG! (because it's "official" english version was a piece of crap, and GOG could make it much better)
www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/01/04/wot-i-think-precursors/ makes it sound interesting, at least.
Only heard a few statements about this game which suggested that it's terrible but a Metascore of 68 suggests that it can be enjoyable for some people. Would love to see it here.
Even though I have it on GOG, I would <3 to see this on GOG without any sort of DRM wrapped about it.
