moonshineshadow: I have to admit that Risen 2 was the weakest game in the Risen series, but like I said I still liked it :-)

And your comment reminds me that I still need to play Fahrenheit :D

CarrionCrow: I'm willing to bet there are plenty of better games in your backlog to go through first. Course, given that it's Fahrenheit, that's an extremely safe bet.
You are right ;-)
Fahrenheit is at the same place as Simon 3D, way down at the list :P

NoNewTaleToTell: I made it a tiny bit into that game but I have no desire to touch it again. I generally dislike Quick Time Events and that whole game is a stinkin' Quick Time Event. Shame too as everything else seemed intriguing, though I heard the story goes off the rails and right into the trashcan later on.
Actually, there's one thing that comes to mind that isn't strictly a quick-time event. There's a really awful section that combines shit stealth with quick-time events. Shame you didn't get that far, you would've loved it.

As for the rest, it crashes and burns hard enough to leave a smoldering crater behind. Sane character motivation stops being a thing that exists, the "story" is bad enough to make you wonder if the developers took whatever money they had and invested it in gasoline and huffing rags, and the overall health mechanic ends up leaving you with the poignant lesson that sexual intercourse with someone you care for is the positive mental health equivalent of cleaning up 6 bloodstains. And there's a person who has no problem sleeping with someone who's technically a zombie for no particular reason. Can't forget that part.

Yeah...it dwells in a place next to such luminaries as Kingdom: The Far Reaches and Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude, truly some of the best titles GOG has to offer.

At least I don't have these last two games you mentioned *yeah* :D

That's good to know....not that someone might send those to you in the future...

Additional - Looks like quite a few new games are coming next week. GOG is trying to destroy my game budget before it's even replenished.

I am not masochistic as you are :P

And yes, hints are quite strong that there will be tons of releases next week again. But I have no problem with that, my wishlist is not big and also this week I only bought the EotB games.

Yeah, between people excited for more D&D-related stuff and the rolling rumors that Bethesda is coming, it's looking big. Hell, even if it's "just" more Lucasarts games, that's something to be happy about.

If you don't mind, certainly wouldn't mind reading what you think of Eye of the Beholder when you start playing it. Given how much you enjoy Lands of Lore, that'd be interesting to see.

Hmm... more D&D stuff.... not really excited about that. Of course this week was nice, because I will be able to try Eye of the Beholder, but I could have lived without it.
Bethesda, reminds me that I never finished my Morrowind Mod I was building :D But I just looked at the list of their games and this excites me even less than more D&D games. Yeah I'd probably buy Morrowind as digital Backup... but I have the disks, it is not like I really need it.
So I would be fine with "just" more LucasArts games :D There would be a chance for the missing Indy games. And I would not mind getting Full Throttle, because I never played that. But I read somewhere that the rights for that one are now at Doublefine... not sure if it is true.

And I don't mind, when I start playing them I'll post some impressions :D

So, I have always updated my video drivers through the windows interface, I checked often for changes.
This time, just for grins, I downloaded the latest drivers directly from AMD.
They are FOUR full versions newer than what I had! FOUR I tell you.
Now to reload some stuff that wouldn't run right and try it again.
Did I tell you the new drivers are FOUR full versions newer? :-)

Sorry, I did not listen, how many versions newer were they? :P
*hug*
That reminds me that I need to re-install my graphics drivers.

Understandable. Figuring the age of the titles will be a hurdle. Still haven't started Wasteland 1 due to that. But to me, there's significance to having all of them back. Also not a fan of incomplete series, and I tend to pile them all together in mental inventory.

For Bethesda, the main thing would be the ability to purchase such titles as Wolfenstein and Doom. Not really a fan of Elder Scrolls, based on the two I either played or attempted to play, and I can't say I'm a fan of the new Fallout titles either, aside from a gut feeling that 4 might have some potential if they've taken the time to make it into something more than an overhyped loot management simulator.

Likewise. In the same boat as you for Full Throttle. I know of it, but never had a chance to play it, let alone own it.
If Double Fine has it, it could still show up since GOG works with them.

Thank you, looking forward to it. Pretty sure my screaming about making maps won't be too much of a bad influence on your response. ;)

Yep, Neverwinter Nights used to run very slowly.
NOW, it doesn't run at all. That solves that problem. :-)

Yeah I also tend to buy games to complete a series. That is why I bought Simon 3D. But for the D&D games there is nothing I need to buy for that reason :D

Which Elder Scrolls games did you play? Have to say that I never played Oblivion yet (it is in my big backlog). Skyrim was ok, but Morrowind was awesome :D Never played a Fallout game and since I am not interested in Shooters, there is nothing much of interest in the Bethesda games category.

In regards of Full Throttle, I read that it will get a remake as well as Day of the Tentacle, same as Grim Fandango. While I could understand it for Grim (since the controls of the original one were so bad, I never even finished it, since I could not continue at one place), there is absolutely no need for a remake of Day of the Tentacle. It is perfect as it is. No clue about Full Throttle, but remakes always are a risk.

And in regards of the maps. As I already said yesterday, I always have a graph paper block on my desk. I am prepared :D
