Overload is missing it's DLC as well. However the developer said they were still working on the GOG version.

I thought Sanitarium received the french localized version recently (like a few weeks or months ago)

Also for Arx Fatalis it is a rather puzzling fact that we don't get the French localized version, considering Arkane Studio (the devs) ARE a french company

But when i discussed with GOG folk regarding the procedure for people to "submit" localized versions of old games to them to help a bit, by sending them the original physical copy of the game (or rather submitting the ISO of it, as i was told it was enough)

During the conversation the person explained to me that whenever they wouldnt provide a given localized version of an old game, it was mostly because of legal issues. Later on, when discussing about games i could provide in localized FR version and/or old games that did miss such FR version on GOG, i was told that i could cross Arx Fatalis of my list.
So i suppose that if we don't have FR version of this game on GOG, it is because of some legal shennanigan with the publisher or whatever, because people already proposed GOG to provide them the required material (physical copy of the FR version) and it seems to be of no use.

Now i wonder if i could frankenstein something out of the fr installation and unpack/repack some files maybe (sound assets, for example, but possibly some subtitles also ?) and mix them with the gog english version. Wonder if it's possible without any real coding skill just tinkering the data files out...

Is it possible to still play user created levels by some means or has this too been removed?

Perception's not longer here. Huzzah!


PS: Would it be asking too much to sort the games alphabetically? Pretty please? My OCD would be hugely grateful. :P

Will sort it once I'm done, no point now.

Also, ffs. Now I'll never be able to play Perception. :/
I hadn't played it until now due to the gamebreaking bug in the last chapter that was never fixed due to the game not having gotten ANY updates.

The list in the OP is awfully incomplete given that it again completely neglects the legions of GOG games that are missing Achievements on GOG, but yet on Steam, those very same games do have Achievements.

The list in the OP is thus privileging some ways of treating GOG customers as second class citizens as important and worth shaming the pub/devs about, while simultaneously, implicitly sending the message that treating GOG customers as second class citizens in other ways is perfectly fine, and no one should even notice those forms of unequal treatment, much less call the devs out for them.

Therefore, until this list in the original posts is changed to be inclusive of all games that should be on it, and of all ways that pubs/devs on GOG treat GOG customers like second class citizens, then I must must conclude that this list itself will continue to be treating some GOG customers like second class citizens.

Completely off topic, but at a quick glace I thought it said 'second ass citizens'.

omega64: Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
Region locked in Japan on GOG, not on Steam. Missing two updates dating back to October and December 2017.
I didn't know they abandon it on GoG.

If I remember correctly manuals inside of the game mentioned "Steam" instead of "GoG". I don't know if they fixed it after launch.

Sir, you could've just said "It would be nice if there was a section listing games which have achievements on Steam, but not on GOG, since that fits in with the theme of the thread", instead of ... that.

It did. According to the changelog, it was added 12th of July.

Well, we also have several games by German companies here, that are still missing the German version.


In any case, thank you, omega64, for continuing this list. Much appreciated!
