Vote to bring this game to GOG and help preserve it.3 520
This game must be preserved purely for the gut punches and thoughts it provoke. More relevant than ever.
I already own this game but it would suck to have to pirate it in order to have others enjoy this one
Remind me again why, Strauss Zelnick, T2 and the g0ddamn people of 2K Games cannot paid Jimi Hendrix, Deep Purple, The Black Angels and those other artist to have remove this game from sale?!
Zelnick is f@#k!ng millionaire! Having earned the money that he gained from suing the modders that tried to recreate and fixes the old GTA games, is just infuriating really.
WTF Strauss??
This game is a brutal exploration of morality, war, and delusion. It is an important game that has been endlessly explored and remains as one of gaming's own Apocalypse Now. Put this game back.
This is a needed game in modern times. No game has ever shown PTSD better than this.
If the license of the music is an issue... just release it modified by using Public Domain music instead. It works just as well, the message of the game its what is important, not the music it uses.
One of the greatest stories ever told via video games. I have it on GOG, but why it is no longer available is a crime. They will never do stories like this again, and lets be honest, there hasn't been a game story like this since. Get it back on here for future generations to see.
This is an incredibly important anti-miltary story that's is extremely valuable in these times. When white phosphorus is used in the real world, people know how bad it is from this game. It's judgements against the CIA and the American military system are what makes it stand against the propaganda of call of duty or battlefield. It's truly one of a kind.
I bought this game on steam and played it in 2021 and its a really spectacular retelling of the heart of darkness. An exemplary example of what happens when you give artists the freedom to make whatever they want. More people need to play this game. The only problem is you can't buy it. The only way you can play it now is through piracy, and that's a skill that not a lot of people are willing to learn. It would be wonderful if this game came to gog so that people can continue to play this game and recognize it as a not just a good game, but a profound piece of art. This is the only game that scholars point to when making an argument for games being recognized as art just like books or movies. The tricky part about getting this game up on gog would be the licensing which is the whole reason why the game got taken off steam in the first place. This game bleeds money ever since its release, but it is a game that needs to be played for years to come.
One of the best gems that unfortunately got delisted on steam store and we can't buy it anymore.
I didn't buy it back then because I couldn't afford it unfortunately so i hope you can bring it back.
It's wonderful game. with it's great use of core gameplay pushing story forward, and tightly and well written tale of horrors of War, and It's beautiful.
One of my favorite story driven game of all time, alongside with Talos Principle 2.
Greatest story ever told in video game form. I have no horse in this race, I own the previous GoG release. But the People must know!!! about this masterpiece. An amazing adaptation/continuation of Heart of Darkness and Apocalypse Now. Also, Konrad is the greatest antagonist in video game history and Boxleitner > Brando, believe it or not.
