thefallenalchemist: 4K movie features a different movie than a Blu-ray. It's the same movie, it just looks better.

anzial: Well, not quite. Sometimes directors do make some changes when the movie is published anew, particularly on a new medium, adding/deleting/moving scenes (director's cut, ultimate cut and so on), so in those cases it's not just about looks. And in other cases, with poor transfer, the movies might actually look worse or the same as previous editions.
Indeed.
I can't buy Star Trek: The Next Generation on Blu-ray, because they have changed the visual effects and some other things.

At least with TOS they included the original unedited versions, even though they also made that butchered garbage with CGI effects.

Yes, but it is still the same product. Your Star Trek remasters do not become Star Wars remasters. It's still the same show, albeit with some additions. That does not make it a new product it is old. It has just been remastered. Now if it was a remake of the same show with different actors, a completely new or modified script and whatnot, then it would be a new product. Remakes are new products. Remasters are simply updated older products with a few extra bells and whistles. The source material is still old. A reprint of a comic from the fifties is not a brand new item. It is just a modern print of the same story.

Cavalary: Let's see...
GOG has stopped being "Good Old Games" in 2012.

Beaubergine: Indeed, while we've kept the GOG name, we're only formerly known as Good Old Game. =)

Also, Joseph_Grey, and obviously everyone else, please remain polite and avoid using vulgar language against other people on our forums.
Give me a list of 'good old games' and ill stop being upset... You have Cyberpunk 2077 as the first thing on your site for 'old games' I went to a category, and couldnt tell the difference between anything...

Nearly all games made in the last ten years, are cheap counterfeits of older games, filled with microtransactions and stupid crap.

For real, the last thing I was thinking about before I started browsing your store, was how much I loved Caesar 3 and Lords of the Realm 2. I wanted to find games from that era... But what I get is 'popular titles from last week' which again, is neither good, nor old...

There are no good new games... their either abusive hellscapes that punish you to do unending microtransactions or its a $2 cash grab that was slapped together as a cheap copy of someone elses success...

At one point I went looking for the old school 'oregon trail' but it doesnt exist, but a game by the same name, is a farmville clone that wants you to check in ever so many hours to water crops... thats not even remotely what the original oregon trail was... Its disrespectful to manipulate people that way... To cheapen everything down to the lowest common denominator, abusing nostalgia in a desperate attempt to squeeze a buck out of people...

Then you have these people that say 'their just encouraging you to do microtransactions' its not encouragement, when you are not allowed to have fun without it... When you are punished for trying to play without it...

This blind, 'the glass is always half full' attitude is ruining everything. Red Dead Redemption 2 online, pays you less money for finishing objectives quickly... If you run that race in record time, you get almost nothing, if you idle on the finish line until the last thirty seconds, you get the maximum... How is that a satisfying RP experience? Thats punishing you into microtransactions...

So I just want old games, that were 100% finished on release... So I can have a fun experience without being abused into paying extra... Can you just give me a list so I can live?

As quoted by users before, we do have games from the 90s and before. But the purpose of my message was simply to state that we're not actually a site for "old games", because it's still a common misconception.

Well your name boarders on false advertising. So again, can you give me a search capacity to only see 'old' games?

This is... literally starting to be old man yells at cloud.

Yes, I get that you want more old games. But they are trying. Every now and again they'll post that they've added long lost games that I've never heard of and people are excited about. That being said, let's not assume that EA will never release games to the platform, they have before.

And yeah, a lot of people come here for newer games too. If you don't like the state of gaming today, I dunno what to tell you. Things change, people copy ideas and make them their own. Now you can make of that what you want. It's not going to change.

Honestly, I just recommend you hit up abandonware sites and use daemon tools. May find what you're looking for there.

Our name is simply GOG, we're not using Good Old Games and haven't been for many years. I'd recommend, as our helpful users suggested, to sort by older releases first. :)

I get upset because I have a majority public opinion that makes decisions for me, without asking me what I think. The Elder Scrolls franchise for example. Has gotten worse with each new addition. But because the graphics improve public opinion decides that its better. We had an authentic role play experience that degraded into a shiney power fantasy. There are no choices, no consequences for choices. Just hand holding, the complete removal of personal agency. No one asked me if I wanted a baby sitter... No one asked me if I wanted my problems solved for me...

I have been disenfranchised... Thats why im angry... Because a brainless majority demands that my thoughts should be thought for me... I just want something better...

Lol! It seems this is a person I encountered before, who got banned from the OpenMW forum for being abusive.

(I can't imagine why ...)

Well, maybe you're not as important as you seem to think you are.

For the last time, this is the list of oldest games available on GOG: https://www.gog.com/games?page=1&sort=release_asc

Oh yeah, people come into my thread, trash the very idea of the thread, refuse to leave me alone, in my own thread, and im the abusive asshole... Right, because going into a chess club and yelling at everyone 'chess sucks! i want to play monopoly' isnt your fault for joining a club that you hate, its the clubs fault for existing... Right?

Its not that people can into my thread and had ZERO respect for it, its that I finally stopped caring, after a long wall of text trying to be patient... its my fault they came into my space and screwed with me... im bad because they attacked me... ok...

Ok, give me power over you, so i can made decisions for you... and if you object to me trying to make your decisions for you. Ill tell you that you are not important enough to govern your own life... That you need to be minded by me, because I just say so...

'Well, maybe you're not as important as you seem to think you are.' so give me control of your life, because you are equally as unimportant... unless you are saying that you have the right to dictate my life to me. That you are so superior to me that I cannot be your equal... Is this a flat statement that you oppose equality?

How dare you try and extend a helpful hand! No one asked *him* if he wanted a baby sitter... No one asked *him* if he wanted his problems solved for him... ;)

If any of the threads from these last weeks deserved locking it would have been this one. This is pure trolling on the part of the OP, whether intentional or not. No real sense in this "discussion".

guys, give this man a break. This guy was just looking for some videogames that have been in GOG's catalogue since the beginning and he was having a really damn hard time finding them, so you can understand where all the frustration and rage is really coming from. Using the search bar might be easy for you, and most of the people on the entire planet, but that doesn't mean it's easy for everyone, so like pls don't be a meanie ;D

Lol, I come to a site title 'get old games here' and the first thing i get is a list of games that are new releases... But hey, im trolling, because Cyberpunk 2077 is an old game... right? LOLOL

Jesus... Have you played Morrowind? Can you even make an objective comparison with Skryim? Bruh, im Morrowind you got a text message describing where to go and what to do... You had to think about how to do any given quest, and there were plenty that you could outright screw up. If you killed an essential character, the game give you a message warning you that the game cant be finished if you continue... Thats called agency... Skyrim gives you quest markers down to the foot of where to do, holds your hands through the objectives. That is called baby sitting...

The ability to make a bad choice and suffer consequences is essential to roleplay... But you call me a troll? Because I dont want things to degrade and degrade until there is no quality left?

If you dont have the self awareness to understand how you are being abusive, not me, if other people cant tell the difference, then you are all clearly incapable of governing your own interests, arent you?

Tell you what, go on Amazon.com, search for any given thing... Sort 'lowest to highest price'

Tell me you dont end up with a two hundred page list of five cent bullshits, that have nothing to do with your search... Go on, show me how easy it is...

You mock me, for things you yourself cant do... You cant just go on Amazon and ask for 'lowest price whatever' and actually get it... You get the same unending bullshit lists that I do... Stop acting like reality doesnt apply to you...
