Groovy. I dig it, man.

...is this working?

Ah. So the game is really linear then? Well as long as the story and combat are interesting, that still works for me I guess.

It's kicking around in a box in the basement with other ancient ISA cards, AGP video cards, PCI cards etc. I even have a few VLB cards, and of course.. an ET4000 (prize possession!). None of the motherboards I own which could take the ISA cards have been powered on in well over a decade if not 15 years or more though so none of them would actually work without either cracking out a soldering iron and some dicking around, or if I'm lucky, swapping out a CR2032.

One of these days I really need to take a full pass over the basement and figure out what all works, what is broke and do some spring cleaning, as well as try to rebuild some working systems from all the old parts to see what is worthwhile keeping other than for nostalgic historical purposes. ;)

I've got an SB16 and an AWE32 also. :)

LOL

(Incidentally, I attempted to Google translate your Greek there and it foils any attempts at doing so. :)

That's because it's gibberish.
It's the "lorem ipsum" text.

Ah, it didn't even translate to the English form of that. :)

Maybe once I'm well off enough to make some gifts of my own :) Besides it's not just about buying the games, but playing them too. I still have a backlog, and considering it's mostly RPGs and adventure games, there's probably enough game-time in those titles to keep me playing for a year.

I kinda wish everyone would make their wishlists public, just because it is nice to know statistically which games are the most wished for both in the wider public as a whole, as well as within friends or other circles, or just to know what an individual person's taste in games and potential future games is. At the same time I can understand some reasons why people prefer to keep them private too... so people don't see they have that Barbie Puppy Rescue game (or equivalent) on their wishlist and whatnot. LOL

I'll never make my wishlist public. It's not because I'm ashamed of the games that are in it, but because I dislike the idea of people knowing stuff about me that I didn't tell them. I also don't see why anyone would be interested in what my tastes in gaming are, except for potentially giving me stuff (which I don't need, and I'd rather generous people gave games to people who do need it) or for tailoring ads on the Net (which I don't want either). Sorry if that ruins your statistical analysis of what games are popular...

That being said, we're getting off-topic. If anyone's been playing this game, is it any good? It looks more linear than I usually like, but if the story's good enough I'll buy it anyway.

Yeah, your concerns are all very reasonable IMHO, I can definitely respect that. Sometimes I'll be chatting with someone about games and they might be someone I have known or seen around for a while or someone knew, but out of the conversation I'm curious what kind of games they may like, such as out of common interest from the conversation or whatnot. If they have a public game profile I may have a look at it to see what they like playing and possibly converse with them about it. As an example, a day or so ago I did this and saw someone who owned all of the Black Mirror games and some other games that I also own and have an interest in. I asked them their thoughts about it both for conversation and to gauge how soon I might consider playing those games myself as it's nice to talk first hand with someone about a game than just generic reviews on a platform for example.

Normally I keep my online profiles for things quite private, but in the gaming world of things I've kind of went the other way and made my gaming profiles more public. There were some consequences to this on Steam for quite some time as you would get inundated with bogus scammer asshole friend requests for quite some time but eventually Steam seems to have magically resolved that issue completely and I never see any problematic issues on there anymore having a public profile. Still it's an individual thing as to weighing the pros and cons of such.

On the other side of things, I've had people here on GOG and elsewhere look through my gaming profile on Steam or on the gogwiki or public gog wishlist and have some interesting conversations about games of common interest, recommendations etc. initiated from the other person too. Haven't had any particularly bad experiences to date other than the aforementioned Steam scammer problems that are a thing of the past (and I never once actually got scammed, I just always reported them and blocked them when they were a problem).

Some folks prefer to keep a lower profile online with their gaming too though and that's cool too. I have some friend that are like that as well, and I used to even do the same thing myself originally so I understand the reasons well enough. :)

I have to wonder - is it wise to release a game like this (not very cheap and no discount) during a sale? I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm very happy it's here, like I already said, but even if I was to spend that amount of money on games right now, I could get like three other games from my wishlist for it.

Well it's a simultaneous release with Steam for once. I guess they might have delayed the game if there had been a sale on Steam, but I don't think GOG typically represents a big enough percentage of sales to delay release because it has a sale going. Assuming the devs even knew about the sale in the first place.

Maybe they could have the sale start and end two days eariler. But really, I'm just pondering, I'm not saying GOG did anything wrong here, it's just a question that occured to me. Maybe it won't impact how the game sells, and maybe it's just poor timing that GOG could in no way avoid.

I played the game for a few hours and i really hated it.Thank god that i pirated and didn't buy it(I do pirate first and if i like it i buy it and i have no intention playing that game anymore).The game is all about social justice and it commits the greatest sin of RPG,there is no fucking Roll Playing.... at all.I was stuck for hours to play a guy that i despise more than a serial killer rapist.The game is entirely linear and all the interaction are ether you go and push "E" on colored circle or you fight.The fighting system is not bad but the targeting abilities are very un-responding.The writing is good but it is very forced if you don't like that kind of story.There is literally forced story about a gay guy(I didn't finished,i just deleted the game).
