Newbez: Wow, rude replies or what? First off, I haven't purchased this game, nor was I around when this was first released, I was on vacation and got back yesterday. So I didn't know it stated it was Windows 7 compatible originally. And also, what I write was completely justified on info that I had.
rhinox: Ok man, no problem. The situation here now is a little bit twitchy and any attempts to justify GoG are getting flamed. So my apologies for the rude language.
Im so glad a lot of people are apologising as I was just thinking to myself "should I ever comment again?, when all that will happen will be grief fired at me !"
I will have my opinion though, and I do feel GOG should have a disclaimer about Bugs and running games. The site is all about Good Old Games, and there is no doubt DK2 is up ther e in the GOG league table on best games ever. But as everyone states it was buggy when it came out and it was buggy by the time the last patch came out.
GOG wont fix bugs, they have cetain input I am sure, and will make a game run as best as possible under new Hardware, but if a bug is in a games engine, or in the code itself, then pretty much this is where problems on responsibility starts.
I have close to 100 games bought here - all in a different state of running and rarely complain as I look at old games as being a reminising thing / hobby (much like emulation). I have an old PIII processor still set up with an old Millenium 2 graphic card to get the best of my old games, and many people are buying EEC machines and scrubbing the Op system and putting Win 95 / 98 on them to play games
Its like making a game console for yourself.
So GOG, all the people here I respect a lot, and understand there woe's. Please listen to my words and consider a mission statement - something that reads - "bugs in the game as of Patch ### still are in the game and GOG can do little to rectify the state of the game code"
Something like that anyway
P.S. yep i bought the game, and yes I have issues on my newest PC with it, but only slight issues on my oldest PC
