GOG (and other stores) definitely NEED to give those exact same information when they sell a game. I'm fed up to ask for a refund each time this happens and it's really awful one has to resort to pirating the game to have that info.

there will be a demo on Steam
maybe here too

Will it be out before the preorder period is over?

(I ask as I am trying not to order unless I am somewhat sure it will work, and if the demo comes out AFTER the game launches i'd miss out on the discount)

i would guess with a 620 (and appropriate cpu and twin ram) you will be okay. thats a guess, but with the relatively mild min reqs...
you could just wait until the inevitable discount later on.

Oh, sorry, I hadn't read throufully. It's one of those BS time limited demo
"t's finally here! The demo version of Paradise Lost will be available for 6 days—from June 16 19:00 CET to June 22 19:00"

Thanks for the reply/info

True enough, though I dunno how long i'd have to wait for a similar future discount, and I dunno if it would ever go beyond this level of discount in future sales. That plus the fact that it looks appealing(story/setting) makes me want to get it during the preorder period if possible.

A demo for a game coming out AFTER the launch? Yeah, that will really help people on the fence about preordering. :\

The thing I hate about this time-limited demos most is that developer's reason that: We keep it time-limited, because we can't support and update the demo ... A demo is what it is, a piece demonstrating a part of a game which may or may not be subject to change. Who in their right mind actually expects a demo to be supported in any way, shape or form? In the past, maybe, some of the bigger companies published a new demo at some point, which I think was the case with Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis? Where in the beginning all you got was that automatic demo and later there was one you could play some of it.

When someone wants to get an impression they should get it whenever they feel like it, pre- and post-launch, to get a look at it. If they must developers should warn that content is subject to change in big fat Greek letters so the last simpleton understands ... Another warning should be: We don't support the demo. It's up to the developer to make their game-to-be shine and reflect what's most likely going to be in upon release and whet people's appetites for it.

For a while there, I thought it was Postal's Paradise Lost.

I almost thought it was something based on the book....similar to the theme of Dante's Inferno(game).

The product card page's background image ( https://images.gog-statics.com/4165051813f3a1b4dddf057e7faec392e315ca4f0631e31830bb8f3cd81f6df0_bg_crop_1920x655.jpg ) gives me vibes somewhere between Star Gate and Bioshock :P

Google translate is notoriously awful for accuracy of anything above 1 word at a time, and even with that it can give mind boggling results. And don't ever try to use it for translating anything longer when using any of asian languages as there it's totally worthless.

It also reminds me of the vault doors in the fallout series(plus the theme IS a fallout shelter).

Well, the aesthetic(look/feel) of Bioshock games is quite nice usually, so I can see why some devs might "borrow" the look to varying degrees. :)

(one such nice "walking sim" type game is Close to the Sun...which is a bit short and a bit hard in some spots[running quickly and sometimes also pressing buttons along the way to avoid things in a few places], but is still a nice looking game)

If one is trying to get very accurate translations(such as for school papers and the like) this is true, but for just getting the gist of what one is trying to translate it is sometimes (imo) decent enough.

The thing is, I'm not talking about some mild inaccuracies.
There is plenty of cases where it fails so miserably the one who tries to use the machine translation could have hard time choosing if to cry out of cringe or out of misery and waste of time.
It's darn awful in many cases and fails marks so hard it's not even funny, it's just plain waste of time.
And the problem is it's reliability is so inconsistent you won't know until you try.

Well, seeing as some games don't translate every bit of text and not everyone has access to humans to translate every language, it's at least something to try in such cases. :)

(note: I have mainly translated european languages in games....asian languages, not as much)
