Purgatory ain't a bad place to be.

Pyre is now available, 25% off until March 13, 2PM UTC.
The makers of Bastion and Transistor introduce yet another wildly imaginative world. Form a team with the strikingly different exiles you meet and enter ancient, sports-like competitions that will determine who among them gets a second chance away from here. Depending on your choices and the outcome of these fast-paced matches, Pyre's branching story will shift dramatically - there is no fail state. Until, of course, you get too emotionally attached to one of your exceptional companions. As you know, that sort of thing never ends well...

Grab the excellent Soundtrack for your collection.

drealmer7: maybe we're having a language issue? if you claim it is a matter of preference, to me that means you prefer games that are as I described Bastion to be, not that you disagreed with my assessment of the game, if you disagree with my assessment of the game, say that, which has nothing to do with preference

you: "bastion is great"

me: "I disagree because: examples given"

you: "I like those things in the examples you give"

me: "just because you like them doesn't mean they're good" (people like mcdonald's, that doesn't make it good)

to me it seems like "someone liking something that is shitty" is a foreign concept to some people

if you enjoy button-mashing, non-plots, and repetitive maps, explain to me why

if you don't think the game was button-mashing, that it had a good story, and the maps were individualized with much variety, you are deluded / simply wrong - yes, it is possible to be wrong about things *gasp*

Enebias: Sigh.
Often I wonder why I even bother replying. I even go out of my way to keep things calm and polite, but it seems it is not possible, some if you have this need of reasoning for absolutes.

Given the recent developments with your last reply, I will change a bit what I think and provide a slightly different answer in an English as plain as I can, so you won't argue about semantics. Here it goes:

I don't care about your opinion in the slightest and given your rudeness I have no intebtion of wasting my time explaining anything. What I enjoy is my own business and I don't have to report to the Better Taste Police. Your arrogant tone disturbs me, so please avoid bothering me again.

People, you just WANT me to be an ass.

Edit: I don't write a post for ages, I stick to release threads and this is the welcoming committee. I'm afraid the Community is indeed unsalvageable, I have to give credit to the vocal protesters..
drealmer7 is a colossal tool. It's a waste of time on your part to engage him.

eric5h5: Nrgghh...I waited and waited for this to come out on GOG, finally gave up and bought it on Steam like two weeks ago. Dammit.

Although i was tempted to buy it over on steam i just waited and played something else. ^^

Gylfe: Which game is missing? I have around 800, so I wouldn't even know if one was missing if it wasn't one that I frequently access. When they have crazy sales, if a game looks interesting and it's only a couple dollars I usually get it, so my library has exploded over the years.
softporn adventures. lol. it's part of the leisure suit larry collection, or rather it was. and not that i was aching to play a very basic text adventure this instant or anything but when games up and vanish it makes one stop and think a bit. i have a massive collection on here myself, so i guess i've sort of subconsciously begun thinking of my game collection as an entertainment investment.

apparently the game is officially freeware now so they had to remove it from the collection but in doing so banished it from the accounts of some users. that said, the blues are aware of the problem, and according to judas the problem would be remedied in due time. he didn't have an eta however so that tells me that the issue is possibly somehow related to the database bug/issue/glitch/change that many users have been experiencing. or... i could be totally off base and have no clue.

I think the trick is to simply ignore the people who have to denigrate everyhing. There's still a lot of good people here.

Yup. Just don´t let the trolls get close to your heart.

bhrigu: Of course you might not like it, but I will suggest you to give it a shot.
Alright, if you insist that i should try it (and seeing that Enebias also enjoyed it very much) i'll give it a shot one of these days. ;)

Enebias: I don't care about your opinion in the slightest
then why the fuck did you reply to it in the first place?

do you have no ability to have a discussion with someone about something you disagree about ?

does everything have to be YAYYY GREAT POSITIVE? and if it can't be that 'OHHHNOOOO STAY AWAY!!!' ?

just because I'm not blowing smoke up your ass when you share your opinion doesn't make me an asshole

it has nothing to do with "denigrating everything" - it's a shitty world where dissenting voices are viewed as negative

everyone just wants to be liked by everyone and not make a single wave or hold a single conviction about anything because it takes too much effort!

pathetic

-

I didn't like Bastion, and it certainly wasn't "great" - I explained why I hold those thoughts and the response was empty, like they want to disagree but they don't have the balls to stand up for what they actually think - if you're going to engage, engage, if you're not, don't

Once again you seem pretty confident that by bashing your chest like a gorilla in heat you will magically have reason on your side. Might have worked with primates, but I suggest you to evolve your approach at problem solving if you are planning to fit in human society.
I would like to remind you that you have been replying to me, not the other way around, with rudeness and open insults, by the way, and you didn't make the minimum effort to even understand what I was saying. Why should I respond to someone that has already made his mind on a point and has already called me deluded even before I could speak my mind? I didn't seek you out, you did, because apparently my tastes are objectively bad in your totally arbitrary scale of values... a scale of values that you apparently don't consider that solid yourself, given your need for confirmation by a random stranger on the internet disagreeing with you.
You, my dear sir, have no ability to have a discussion, and you have proven it time and time again without me lifting a finger. Prove are your gratouitous insults to basically anyobody that addressed you, they are there for everyone to see.
Rather than trying to breach a wall, I'd rather take the long way around and avoid hours of pointless, frustrating posting against your rabid speeches.
Your opinion could have counted something, before you showed your true colours. Now you are just an annoyance, as I don't give value to anyone who does not understand the basics of respect.

You are not worthy of my attention. Only a pathetic half-troll with apparently nothing better to do that starting flames on a gaming forum. Alas, I am fireproof.

About the Linux build...

I know I'm not on a GOG-supported distribution, but perhaps this could help someone else.
The game doesn't launch for me as-is, instead it throws errors to the console:

Unhandled Exception:
System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'GSGE.AssertHandler' threw an exception. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'System.Console' threw an exception. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'System.ConsoleDriver' threw an exception. ---> System.Exception: Magic number is wrong: 542
[TL;DR]
I don't know exactly what is wrong (can't be arsed at the moment), but I found a way to bypass it:
Add the line export TERM=xterm to the file "game/Pyre", anywhere before the executable is run (for example, right before the line if [ "$ARCH" == "x86_64" ]; then, so that it applies regardless of whether you run the 32-bit or 64-bit build).

Are you launching it from the GOG's start.sh script? You could try launching directly from the "game" folder.

Ganni1987: Are you launching it from the GOG's start.sh script? You could try launching directly from the "game" folder.
I usually run the binary directly. In this case though, GOG's start.sh runs game/Pyre, which in turn is a shell script that decides which binary to run (OS X, 64-bit Linux, or 32-bit Linux), and the Linux binaries won't run with my default value for TERM (xterm-256color), setting TERM=xterm works, so I modified game/Pyre to set that temporarily.

As to why it crashes with that value, I don't know. Maybe it sees that value and makes other assumptions that fail, or maybe it just can't handle that a variable can have varied values in varied environments.

Which hardware and distro are you running? I can try to look a bit
