Damn. I hoped more OLD titles from Idea Factory / Tamsoft / Compile Heart would arrive here.

We are missing MUCH old stuff, especially from Tamsoft.

It is nice to have "day 1 releases" from those publishers here, but more important is their backkatalog.

"Senran Kagura", the missing "Neptunia" games, OneeChanbara.. much work to do.

Okay, I can agree with you because my statement is subjective to each individual. I get it. But people can't seriously deny that there's has been an uptick in anime and bland indies lately. Surely people see it.

I realize that there's a process to get old games but GoG has had ample opportunity to get some high quality good old games and either they aren't trying or they've turned them away for...........for this.

thats what i would like to do, so pls hide them where i cant find em :P

Because those SELL here and bring GOG MONEY. If they would not sell, they would not be released here. Quite simple.

Same with the erotic games. Those SELL, so we get MORE of them.

Since GOG has no chance in getting true AAA titles from the big publishers (which would sell better), they get those games, that have a broad base of BUYING users (they do not talk about buying them, they actually buy them...). Quite simple.

It is quite sad that GOG tried to push "their intended games for selling" for years, instead of bringing those, which actually get sold quite fast if available.

Why shouldn't they?

They really don't sell but to a small niche. What they are doing is releasing fillers. Shovelware to try and stay relevant. They, need to do better.

steam is already infested with these low quality waifu crap , I dont want gog to fall for this too
exactly
I see some AA games here but nowhere near all and could be improved, and nearly no AAA games , those are what most people interested in imho not these mass produced itch.io escapees
I bet most wouldnt even play em if they were free

That's a very mistaken assumption. Games are not automatically "low quality" just because they have anime aesthetics.

And Compile Heart games are of vastly higher quality than is literally anything that is on itch.io.

i didnt say that , just compare this to Atelier Ryza 2 which is not on gog and should be , that game speaks quality while still an anime game

Quite subjective, indeed.

There have, in fact, been a lot of proper good old games that have arrived on GOG as of late. Getting Activision's Star Trek games was a big deal, for instance. Those have been in demand for years since GOG managed to get a few of Interplay's Trek games back in the day.

Then again, perhaps you personally don't consider those to be "good old games", going by your insinuations that nothing good has come to GOG lately. There have been classics that I'm personally not the biggest fan of, but that doesn't mean I ignore their presence here on GOG just because every new release on GOG doesn't fit my specific tastes.

There are also many classic games with the anime aesthetic over the decades that either are on here on GOG or should be. Just because you may have a personal distaste for anime-like games in general does not mean they are on the same level as "bland indies" as you seem to imply by linking them together.

GOG has enough variety now of old and new games that you could easily find something you might want and enjoy with a casual search, which would not take that much time or effort. GOG also has a "community wishlist" feature for you to vote on games you may wish to show up on GOG in the future.

Honestly, with the more variety of games coming to GOG, this means they may be loosening up their curation restrictions to a degree, which could lead to games previously missing coming to the GOG platform, anime-styled titles aside. If you wish for deeper restrictions, well, I hope you enjoy having less of what you may want in the future, because that's what demanding more restrictions would bring, inevitably.

Not the same budget, though. Gust is backed by Koei-Tecmo and their games are really overpriced and barely discounted during sales.

We know Compile Heart isn't exactly the kind of big gaming company so they milk their Neptunia franchise while trying from times to times new IP's (like Death End re;quest) and their games tends to recycles their assets but they do delivers on the fun, gameplay and fanservice aspects.

Still a good release for GOG.

You make it sound like you have a say in this.

I'm pretty sure Steam has tools to fight that, it's just that users can't be bothered to actually click what interests them and what doesn't. Still they expect the storefront to be adjusted to them without giving any feedback...

I totally agree on this. I remember at the start when a handful of people wanted less curation and more choice and the majority of GOG went mental on it. Making any excuse to keep up their so-called standard.

Funny things is that their so-called standard seem to have made little money for GOG seeing as they switched their agenda all of a sudden.
I think he is trying to make the point that most of the GOG community kept crying like babies when people suggested games in the past like Wizardry or anything else they'd deem not up to their standard, while praising artsy crap the most likely never bought themselves in the first place.

Quality control in general doesn't matter all that much if you can vote with your wallet. A lot of games most people considered niche can suddenly become hits. Laughable thing is, most likely, GOG missed out on a lot of sales by waiting it out till mostly people already bought to see if they were positive and then later bringing them here when hype is already gone or people already kept with the storefront where they had the biggest collection of games.

Over the years, I feel that this community in general is pretty childish when it even comes to debate about certain things. All they ever do is act like it is their storefront, and it needs to cater to their whim. I say, just release anything and let the wallet decide on what is or isn't supported. In the long run, you can still remove titles from the store.

Don't even get me started about their double standard of rating, calling all Anime titles Pedophile shit seems ok for GOG moderators, but calling out a game for being censored gets your rated comment removed.
