Nier Replicant/Gestalt is one of my favorite games of all time. It's one of the few games to ever make me cry. I'd love if the Gestalt version and father Nier's character could still be experienced by new players
While the RepliCant version of NieR is playable on PCs via the ver.1.22474487139... remaster, the Gestalt version is locked to the PS3 and X360. Players of the remastered RepliCant version only see this version of Nier in a side-mode that was originally DLC. It'd also let more people experience what NieR was like in its original state, as opposed to its remastered state.

Would love to immortalize Papa NieR as he is my preferred version although it's not canon. Definitely not as playable as it's remake, but still a solid gem nontheless. Definitely my favorite game in the franchise next to Drakengard 3.

One of my favorite games of all time now it’s not as popular as the other NieR games but it holds a very special place in my heart and hope this game can return in any form
This is one of my favorite games of all time. A beautifully written game, with excellent characters. Music that will stick with you for the rest of your life. It deserves to be preserved and remembered, not replaced by a subpar remake.
the other side of the story. the side that never should've existed. but it did, and it is an extremely unique take on the story. father Nier can be argued that he doesn't fit the story whatsoever because this story was made around the brother, and yes you would be right. he feels out of place with the cast especially with Kaine and Emil and considering how old they are, and all the sibling motifs around the game what with Devola and Popola, Gideon and Jakob, etc. that being said, you cant help but love father Nier, there is something about a man who has been through so much throughout his whole life, his wife gone and only his daughter to protect, the "only sane guy" in his crew so to speak. it's such a unique perspective on the game that i cant help but admire. i still heavily prefer brother Nier for many reasons, but i would love to see this version of the game (and also the PS3 version of RepliCant) on PC as every single version of this masterpiece of a game is worth playing and have their own merits. a slim chance, but i still hope it happens nonetheless. "It's like I just found something special. Something very special."

One of the last true reasons for me to still have my 360. The Gestalt version never got the remake it deserved, so at the very least it should be preserved on PC.
My first experience with this game was Gestalt with "papa Nier" on PS3. I loved it and I'm afraid this version has been abandoned for good. So I really wish it could be published (and saved) on GoG, for lack of a remake or remaster.

Medal of Honor
Medal of HonorOperating directly under the National Command Authority, a relatively unknown entity of handpicked warriors are selected when it is crucial that a mission must not fail. They are the Tier 1 Operators. There are over 2 million active soldiers. Of those, approximately 50 thousand fall under the direct control of the Special Operations Command. The Tier 1 Operator functions on a level above and beyond even the most highly trained Special Operations Forces. Their exact numbers, while classified, hover in the low hundreds. They are living, breathing, precision instruments of war. They are experts in the application of violence. The new Medal of Honor is inspired by and developed with actual Tier 1 Operators from this elite community. Players step into the boots of these warriors and apply their unique skill sets to fight a new enemy in the most unforgiving and hostile conditions of present day Afghanistan.

The campaign also reveals that the deadly explosive, PETN, had begun to appear around the globe. Warfighter was both a critical and commercial failure. Due to the game's failure, EA pulled the Medal of Honor series out of rotatio
