What’s the point? They don’t offer the installers, you need the client to install the games.
- Comment on Epic Games unveils Launcher V2 in re-attempt to topple Steam, says redesigned storefront is up to 6.5x faster — promises player profiles, user reviews, universal controller support, and much more 13 hours ago:
DRM platforms are DRM platforms. Epic, Steam, Uplay and what not - at least I don’t care.
I wish Steam would remove all DRM. The big companies would not dare to oppose them with Steam’s near 100 percent PC market share.
- Comment on EU Commission meets behind closed doors with Ubisoft, other corporations, and exhibits blatant corruption. 2 days ago:
“Support for all games cannot last forever.”
…
Again and again and again… Sigh… Sadly I’m sure many of the comission will just believe that shit…
But then again, the big companies are obviously scared, that’s a good sign at least.

Yes, HereIAm is right, that’s what I ment.
It should be easy for a developer to implement this, I have no idea why they went with this. No program is bug free, so it is just stupid.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
The save system (at least on PC) was a mess in the first game. After twenty hours or so the game decided to crash and corrupted the save file. No chance to restore it. All the progress, abilities, just gone beyond repair.
This could have been so easily avoided if the game would have given me multiple save slots. But the Devs decided to only have one, with no player control over it what so ever.
I never touched it again. Sad actually, Control was up to this point pure joy, the setting, the combat, the voice acting, the atmosphere, all top notch.
But if part 2 still only has one save slot I definitely won’t buy it.
I’m don’t want infinite saves, even saving on certain points in the game might be acceptable, but let me fucking chose out of five slots or so!
- Comment on Bethesda has no plans to slow down on paid mods, Todd Howard says he wants to get Creations 'in front of more people' 2 months ago:
I’ve got to give credit to the gaming industry, it never fails to surprise me. They are extremely creative in finding new ways to press money out of gamers. I wish they would put that creative energy into their games, but well…
On the other hand, the gamers are not better. They pay for a weapon skin, a loot box, a mini DLC mission, they preorder, they accept always on line, they accept game clients required running in the background, buggy games on release date, now paid mods, kernel level anti cheat. Did I forget something?
Who can blame good old Todd and all the other guys?
- Comment on NVIDIA Says You're "Completely Wrong" About DLSS 5 Being Slop - Gamers Nexus 2 months ago:
Forgive me in saying this, but this whole discussion has gotten way out of proportion. It’s been a while since I’ve seen that many death threats left and right. But that’s the internet nowadays. Tiresome.
- Comment on Nvidia's DLSS 5 Is a Slap in the Face to the Art of Video Game Design 2 months ago:
I did not mean that crap of course!
But if technology existed that would enhance graphics of old games to look like stuff from 2016 or so that would be pretty neat. I would definitely use it!
But that won’t happen I guess…
- Comment on Nvidia's DLSS 5 Is a Slap in the Face to the Art of Video Game Design 2 months ago:
If this could be applied to games like Return to Castle Wolfenstein, System Shock 2, Soldier of Fortune, Medal of Honour, Tron 2.0, Call of Duty and all other titles from that era, I would not mind in the slightest.
A man can dream…
- Comment on Ubisoft could rely heavily on microtransactions and live-service Assassin's Creed games 3 months ago:
One of the reasons to make gog your primary platform. Download the installer, even older versions if you prefer. Voilà.
It’s the most friendly platform for consumers at the moment.

While we are at it, I would really love to see a new adventure of the Honour Among Thieves Party. I loved that movie, please give us more!

Smoke crack all the time. (That can’t be good for me but I feel great!)
Piss in the air when on fire to distinguish the flames.
Put cats on gun barrel for improvised silencer.
We are weird people!

Never really got into the first one, but Postal 2 I still play from time to time. That game is so over the top ridiculous, I love it.

For now there’s nothing of the sort, but I’m only a few hours in. Could it be too good to be true…?
Well, let’s see. It is a AAA game after all…

To be fair, Hogwarts Legacy is a very good game, I started playing yesterday and the atmosphere of the movies is perfectly captured! I did expect a cash grab, but I was totally wrong.

Thank god!! I thought I was the only one!!
Sadly all the tips (pcgamingwiki.com/…/Middle-earth:_Shadow_of_Mordor…) did not work.
I hated to drop the game since it really seems to be great, but fuck those Devs…
- Comment on Years later, Arkane’s Dishonored is still a modern stealth classic 7 months ago:
When I played the Dishonored series I had massive Thief vibes, I loved it! I looted everything I killed no one, and it felt like good old times.
Reminds me, time to play them again!

Perfect time to release it on gog? Pretty please??
- Comment on Just in case you've been living under a rock: The Crew is playable again! 8 months ago:
It’s a fun game with a huge open world, but it’s not a classic per se. It’s just nice to see a dead game running again.
If Ubisoft had done this from the start… But it brought awareness to the topic, so in the end it’s good that they stayed true to their philosophy (of being dicks).
- Comment on Just in case you've been living under a rock: The Crew is playable again! 8 months ago:
If you have a PC or Laptop there is a good chance you could get it running, the game is pretty “old” and doesn’t scream for a high end gaming rig. Maybe that would be an option.
- Comment on Just in case you've been living under a rock: The Crew is playable again! 8 months ago:
Fair, but I wanted to play it again and had been living under a rock, who knows who else missed this.
And the deactivation of this game started the StopKillingGames campaign (which stays important regardless), there might be at least of few like me out there.

I’ll wait. Experience shows that the next dick move will come soon after.
I have no problem at this point to wait another two or three years.
- Comment on GTA V was released on this day, 12 years ago 8 months ago:
I liked GTA V, but after finishing it I drove around for a few hours and the never touched it again. I’m not really sure why.
I still go back to Vice City and San Andreas, somehow these worlds are just more fun. But like I said, I’m not sure why…
The graphics in 5 are great, the sound is great, but something is missing…
- Comment on Paradox are "making adjustments" to Bloodlines 2's day-one vampire clan DLC plans, following backlash 9 months ago:
My plan was to buy it on release, but the moment I read they would release clans as DLC the game was dead to me.
I’ll check back in a year or two. Maybe then when everything is in one package.

- Comment on Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become 11 months ago:
Seriously, you played behind your mom’s back. As did I and everyone else. Be careful, talk to her about the shitty tactics. She has to be aware of them, spot them, and know how they work to be able to avoid them. The hardest part will be for her to actually believe it. Those life service shit uses the most disgusting psychological tricks.
Or she will spent all her money behind your back someday.
We all had our tricks, and children will always be cleverer than their parents.
- Comment on Remedy is in control | The Verge 11 months ago:
Gog, it has cloud saves there. Also I should have written a script to copy the save files every twenty minutes or so in the background. Would have saved me after the crash I guess…
