Anyone got any idea when the next games will land?

I'm guessing Tuesday. Probably two or three releases. If I were GOG, I'd do another countdown for the second wave of releases to attract more media and viral attention.

I don't even know when GOG usually release games. I tend to just refresh the home page and randomly find new stuff. Does anyone have a definitive schedule that we could use as a guideline for when they might bring out more Lucasarts classics?

You know it never even occurred to me to think that these releases may follow the AAA industry's habit of releasing on Tuesdays but the first releases were on a Tuesday so it seems like Tuesdays are the best bet....let's hope this next Tuesday brings us something!!

Because aside from Portal, every Valve game I've played has felt just like Doom/Halo/Wolfenstein/Quake/Catacombs... As a whole, I think very lowly of the FPS genre. Mind you, this isn't because of the core mechanics or controls- there are a few exceptions I enjoyed- namely the Jedi Knight, Metroid Prime, and Deus Ex series. However, I just feel as though I've outgrown the genre as it generally is... Coming from a guy who enjoys almost all of the Mega Man games- a series that often has complaints about the games being too similar to one another- I feel that FPSs tend to be too similar to one another. Half-Life, Counterstrike, Left For Dead, and even Team Fortress felt pretty much like every other FPS I've played before.

And beyond that, I've seen PC gaming decline so much in the past decade, and it seems Steam is the main one responsible for that... I rarely can find new PC games to buy now, and usually have to resort to digital distribution- I'd much rather buy and own my games than do what basically amounts to a rental. Even here on GOG, it's not at all the same as owning a physical copy (and I really hope GOG can secure rights to reprint older games sometime in the future).

And finally, there's also the way I hear people talk about Origin... Now mind you, I agree with most of the complaints leveled against EA and Origin, and believe them to be entirely legitimate. What I dislike is that I so often see these complaints made against them, and then Valve/Steam gets away with doing the same exact things. Ditto with the X-Box One fiasco.

Sorry, I didn't expect anybody to take me seriously with this.

My account? No Blizzard/Battle.net account for me, thank you. ^^

I agree on the FPS genre and I think I've found out why.
The games I don't like tend to be in the middle ground with changes. They change things just so much that they are "original" but not so much that they feel actually fresh. So the FPS games I do like either change things much from how the FPS games was at the beginning or somehow keep the old fashioned all out action.
Orion: Prelude is a good example of a mix that I do like. It have at it's core fast action, shooting dinosaurs or other players and have changed from the Doom/Quake/Unreal formula enough to make it feel somewhat fresh.

The main problem with feeling that PC games have declined, yeah I feel that too I think is that PC gaming got really popular. The more popular something tend to get the more the products tend to be made for the big masses of consumers. Steam isn't the reason it's the symptom.

Hmmm.... there is a certain something lacking from that list...

Made a slight adjustment there.

NOW it is complete! :-D

Empire at War has a pretty good possibility of appearing, as it's already on Steam.

I sincerely hope you are right. It is one of the few games of which I have a physical copy but have not been able to back up appropriately (before anyone thinks it, no - neither Steam nor any other DRM-laden distribution platform counts).

They did? >_>

Some fair points. I'm not a particular fan of Half-Life, though I think it must be acknowledged that if so many FPS's seem like those games, it's because Half Life 1 and 2 have been so influential.

You're never going to explain to me though, regardless of whether we enjoy these games or not, that Counter Strike, Left 4 Dead, and Team Fortress 2 don't play substantially different from one another. I really can't understand where you're coming from on this, not at all. Saying those games are all the same would never stand the same scrutiny if we made similar comparisons to other genres. Plus, isn't Valve's latest game not a FPS at all? I think it's more likely, as you said, that you just don't like FPS games any more, but that seems an unfair reason to dislike a company so much.

It's true that physical copies are becoming rare, and as download sizes get larger and larger, but internet speeds do not, it's becomes increasingly frustrating. That said, I don't think Steam is the cause of it. Many would argue that Steam turned PC gaming around. Indeed, the whole market was heading downhill, and Steam seems to have resurrected the market. You say PC gaming has declined, but aren't the numbers for it better than ever? Indie games weren't even on my radar before Steam, but now they can compete on the same page as the AAA games.

I think that a digital storefront that was reliable and trusted by consumers was exactly what the PC market needed, and Steam got there first.

I agree with you about Origin. I've used their service w/ no problem, and there's no major difference between what Steam and Origin do. I think that people object because they're willing to accept one platform for all their games, but hesitant for any more. It is important to note that Steam's success comes because its service generally works for most people, and consumers aren't willing to accept DRM platforms that don't work, which helps explain the rejection of GFWL or Ubisoft's..thing.

Seeing that you're US based, this seems to be a problem that's specific (though of course not exclusive) to North America. At least here in Germany (and other European countries) internet speeds are constantly being increased. Whereas 6-12 Mbit/s was the standard 5 years ago, 25-50 seems to be the norm now, with 100-200 becoming the standard in the next few years.
