Absolute Tactics: Daughters of Mercy

TheGrimLord: Why? Unless it's some reason that doesn't have to do with the game (political or something) Metacritic is a pretty trusted source. I'd also check user scores and read those to see what regular people thought of these games. I don't care what IGN and other mags have to say, they don't count for the majority of gamers playing a game. On Metacritic, you get a wide variety of opinions to sort through.

nightcraw1er.488: Metacritic s a trusted source? On metacritic there was 100/100 best game ever made reviews of cyberpunk at release. It’s so corrupt it’s untrue. In terms of user reviews, it’s either best ever/worst ever, but is far better than industry brought and paid for reviews. Just to note, there is an open critic:
https://opencritic.com/
Couldn’t telly you how corrupt that site is, but the cyberpunk scores seem a bit more reasonable, if still pretty high.
Open Critic is fine too. By the way, give me a low rating on this post, please. I'm trying to get the lowest possible rating on the forum in case they give me a prize or something for being the most hated person ever.

Oh, we are all getting that. If you even so much as think anything bad about GOG, galaxy, cyberpunk, CDPr, then the downvote groups and bots charge out in force. Just another example of how anti consumer and toxic this company and site has become.

A bit off topic , but since some Warhammer 40,000 games are on sale :

First thing first, thank you @ciemnogrodzianin and @kbnrylaec for what you do for the community.

I have noticed that Warlords 3, which is one of the games sold in the flashdeals, has been changing prices during this sale. When the sale started, it was sold at a 61% discount.

https://www.gog.com/forum/general/gog_weekly_weekend_sales/post1141

A day later, the discount changed to 50%.

https://www.gog.com/forum/general/gog_weekly_weekend_sales/post1170

And now we have it in the flashdeals, which suposedly, is a section for special discounts, at a 55% discount.

I might get downvoted too for saying anything negative about people saying negative things about GOG. A lot of the criticism seems a bit, ummm, obsessive and silly, if you ask me, not to mention tedious. If GOG isn't totally absolutely amazingly perfect in the view of the commenter then, apparently, it's a pile of shit. It's a commercial business and not an idealist fighting for the survival of good old games and...oh...never mind. If the site seems toxic then it's because of the users, not the company, even if GOG sometimes does annoying things. It's still my favourite game store. I love you all anyway. :-)

Less than 24 hours left .

Which JRPGs and visual novels worth to buy now ?
Posted April 03, 2022
I liked the Nightmare Reaper demo, I will have to try and do better because I found it really hard. I must accept I am bad and hope for an easy mode.

I must thank you for promoting H'sH (promotion without discount seems odd though ;-) ) -- gave it a try, two runs, 5h+ each, and I must admit I've quite enjoyed it over the weekend.

To those interested, it's a well-done modern-day, low-budget, sandbox incarnation of HoMM of the past.

I've been downvoted even supporting GOG. Stop crying and making stuff up just because you get downvoted. Also, god forbid people just don't agree with you.

What a fight for the #1 bestselling all time between HoM&M3 and Cyberpunk :)
Currently Heroes conquers again the number one, but for how long...

Some of the criticism is very Trivia and nitpicking at GOG. No one is perfect. lol Also, doesn't help that the same people will cry in every thread. Even when it's has nothing to do with the topic.

nightcraw1er.488: Strange that autocorrect didn’t pick up on all the mistakes in your post, I have corrected them manually for you.
I'm dyslexic, my grammar can be off. By the way, nice job verbally assaulting me. I can really see your maturity level now.

Something with real-time battles and loads of individual units going at it separately being an incarnation of HoMM? Doesn't sound right.

But why's the description doubled on that game's page?
