Hi Berzerk, I just wanna repeat what you wrote, maybe Ziggurat /German BPJM is reading it (haha...):

The First BloodRayne is not glorifying anything and with all the zombies, vampires and other enemies in the game it's also not a very realistic game.
I assume if Ziggurat would try to get it removed from the German Index they would succeed. Same for the second game in which you don't even fight Nazis.

I'm no fan of Bloodrayne (for now...) but I dislike that we (adult) Germans are censored in our media consumption and I find it strange (like Maxvorstadt wrote earlier) to read news for updates/games on GOG which we (in Germany) can't see nor buy; the links of both BloodRayne games lead to the general games page...

Also I want to say that this move of Ziggurat is very commendable. I wish other dev-pubs would follow this line and keep their classics UP TO DATE (also Gothic I got a decent update after 20 years recently which is very nice!).

Just for your information. Bloodrayne wasn't officially released in Germany and it was indexed not because of NS stuff (which wasn't in the PC release as we all know) but because of violence. So it still would not be 100% sure if a new rating would push it from the list.
That is because GOG expect Germans to use their site in German and since the news is not included on the German version of the site they obviously did not bother to block the news as well.

I don't see a problem with the violence in this game. Games like Mortal Kombat X or 11 got a USK18 rating without any problems and they are much more detailed in their violence than this game. Should be easy to get USK18 for both BloodRayne games. If only they would try.

It is not that obvious most of the time, but some ambient sounds might not play at all/skip. You have no idea there was even supposed to be one. I noticed it entirely by chance in a scripted part at the start of one level. Occasionally, voice lines might also get cut a second or two too fast, missing out on the last couple of words. Some people also say that cutscenes go by too quick, although I did not have that issue myself.

Regarding the original versions in general, I somewhat agree, although GOG is not the best place for that. The way they modify some games causes them to not work on systems they were made for, for the sake of making them run on the newer ones. Mostly using a wrapper that no longer works on older systems.

Example:
The Suffering from GOG does not run on Windows XP, while the boxed retail version does.

Yes, maybe - but you know how stupid their decisions often are ... it remains a game of luck.

That's fine for me.....as I play on new OSs, and if I want original files I can just go sailing the seas(after buying a copy on GOG/etc first, of course). I can see why it'd be more of a pain for others, though.

it was Dec 3, 2016 according to my purchase history. Might have been the Winter sale.
And the non sale price is and was 9.99 €.
So I got it for a 90% discount against a 40% one, and I'm happy about it. All I'm saying is that it's not that good offer.

Well yeah, it isn't as good as 90%....still, as I said before: I think we(gamers in general) are too used to deep sales, and are a bit frugal when it comes to games because of that sometimes. I mean, imo some other games are worth that extra buck or two....or maybe more.

Well, I meant rather "at least 4" since I didn't pay attention to that until I bought enough GOTY titles myself and the only documented point in time I found was in that wishlist post.
