j0ekerr: They're old games, used to be that an old game just sat there collecting dust not being sold anymore, nowadays they're still profitable. But I'd figure there's no real pressure from corporate execs to charge full retail price on a game that's already past its financial prime.
That's true, but several old games on GOG have a high price tag. I am just pleasantly surprised to see some of the more greedy corporations not following this trend. I have never understood why they charge so much for old games, as you said they were just collecting virtual dust.
EndreWhiteMane: Already own Bastion, nothing much else there for me. I would buy Lego Indiana Jones if it were here.
Who knows, maybe with both Disney and WB here, we will see it appear in the future.
moonshineshadow: You could hide in our tree castle if some lynching mob appears :D As long as they have no torches everything will be fine ;-)
I will bring my longbow and arrows, perfect defence from lynching mobs. :-)
j0ekerr: Actually I sincerely agree.
That is not to say I didn't enjoy it, although part of the appeal was childhood nostalgia. However I only really enjoyed the first 3 books, the fourth I plodded through and the rest I read without any interest. The final book I never got around to reading I couldn't muster the interest.
The series was at its best when it was bright and cheery and full of childlike wonder. When it tried to become more grim and gritty its many flaws poured out.
I much prefer Sir Pratchett. His books are superior in every possible way.
Not to mention that Voldemort wouldn't have lasted a day in Ankh-Morpork.
I have only read part of the first book, but I couldn't finish it. I have heard enough from good friends to know that series is not for me. It is okay for what is it, but it got way too much praise and attention, all of which it does not deserve.
adaliabooks: I have to admit I've never actually read them, not more than snippets anyway but everything I'd read / heard marked them down as children's books and no matter what people tried to tell me about being full of stuff for adults too I just know they could not engage me like proper fantasy does.
Lucky you. I read part of the first one, but didn't like it. I heard from friends about the later books and from what I was told it was definitely not something for me. I'm also not a fan of the author herself, but that's not really important.
