Enebias: Personally, I totally don't care about the changes in style, whether it is Japanese or not, or anything minus the big question: is it good?
Names are just names. People are so... rabidly attached to details.

dgnfly: Let's stop veering off-topic, But simply cause you to think something is garbage doesn't mean everybody thinks the same. For some reason, a lot here on GOG have this notion that only their taste should be curated to and that they are the ones that get to decide what is taste and what games are quality enough to be here. GOG has a lot of stupid simulator games I think are crap but I wouldn't protest for them to be taken away when some people enjoy them, Same goes for walking simulators which GOG seems to be full of which barely have any gameplay. You seem to think less choice means better games yet GOG has already games here published that would fall under shovelware but those seem to be ok as long as GOG picks those. Unlike most Here I don't marry a Brand neither do I pick their side all I care for is more games in complete form and not missing content. Also, I see many people here requesting games that could be considered shovelware would you deny their choice simply cause you seem to think you know better what quality is?

Then you would also be ok with removing the wishlist cause that's the consumer's voice and right now the 2 games you would deem shovelware are high on it? and as a storefront, you would need to say to your own consumers go somewhere else cause we don't care what you want we decide what you get to play. In your mind that would most likely be really good for business which in reality holds no truth seeing as STEAM allows all and I thriving while GOG who curated and does your notion as what is so-called quality is barely making a profit.

You'd probably be against getting this game here and many others simply cause your own personal bias towards certain games and if they don't fit your criteria of what is deemed quality. Gotta love how full GOG's forum is with self-absorbed people that deem to know what quality is and thinks they are the pinnacle of taste to a point they wanna deny other users their games and fun.

I sometimes think GOG is full of washed-up game journalists that think they know best while the audience walks the other way.

firstpastthepost: I specifically said I wasn’t talking about this game. I have no issue with this game being sold here or anywhere else. I was commenting on your position that any and all curation is a bad thing, which is nonsense.

I’m not defending gog’s current curation standards, cause I think there are obvious flaws, but the idea that curation is generally a bad thing is utter nonsense. There should be some kind of standard of quality to the products being sold for gog to be able to protect their brand. This is normal business. Do you have any idea how hard it is to convince Walmart to sell your products? It’s the same thing.

dgnfly: 'This is also for people reading this comment''
''CAN WE ALSO PUT A STOP TO GETTING OFF-TOPIC CAUSE I"M GETTING A BIT TIRED OF REPEATING MYSELF CAUSE PEOPLE ARE OFFENDED BY THE NOTION OF NO CURATION!!!!''

In the end, every time people say we want curation they suddenly expect the curation to cater to their taste and if anybody suggests something else and they don't like the game they suddenly wanna act as the gatekeepers.

Green_Hilltop: Cool! I haven't played Wizardry except a little bit the GBC ones, so I forgot you have additional unlockable classes you can't get at character creation. How do the alignments help though? Do you start as neutral, unlike in MM, and you have to work your way towards an alignment, so you can import a party of Ninjas and Lords, for example, which would be impossible at char gen and that's why advantage of importing in the Sir-Tech and Gaiden Wizardry games?

I've thought of starting a Wizardry game lately, you haven't played this one yet, right? Which one would you recommend to start with if I'd like a game that isn't too hardcore (deleting your save/making it permanent when you characters are teleported in stone with no way to fix it) and if I enjoy having various skills and combos (esp. debuffs that work) to experiment with? I prefer having logical, narrative-heavy games where you don't need to do multiple New Game+ playthroughs to get the "real ending" (like in the Dark Spire) and the game concludes normally (so no extra ultra hard dungeons to get some more lore/closure), but the GBC port of Wizardry 1-3 didn't seem to have any story, so I'm not sure if the PC versions have.

Interestingly enough, I've found reviews from back when the game came out and supposedly it wasn't that bad, so let me know how you've enjoyed this one! :) Personally I'm not too much fan of the anime graphics, but at least it's better than having a mix of anime and 80s/realistic graphics like in Elminage Original. That just looks very jarring.

dtgreene: Looking up videos of the game, I caught an untranslated line in the PS3 version, and wondering if XSEED will catch it.

Basically, if the main character (who you select at the start of the game) is lost, a message will appear in Japanese, and you will get a Game Over screen.

Incidentally, this seems to be the *only* way to get a Game Over; in the case of a party wipe, the main character will wake up back in town, alive.

Wondering if this line will be translated for the PC release, as they must have missed it for the PS3 version. (Anyone want to check the iOS version to see if that happens there?)

Green_Hilltop: Did you check if it's translated for the PC release? :)
