How is you today? ;p

I agree, I would love achievements for this game! Please get them added! Hell of a game though.

I'll probably watch just some youtube playthrough with cool kills.

I really don't get this. Why on earth would the lack of an voluntary feature (you can turn off achievements in Galaxy if you don't want them, and you must use Galaxy to be able to get them), a feature that they have already implemented in the other store, sell the game for you? Just to spite people who do want this feature? Because you want GOG to offer a sub-par version (to others, if not to you) that might well mean sales lost to Steam? Are you the arbiter of how people should be enjoying their games?

No offense but first people wanted a gaming client , then begged for cloud save feature , now crying for achievements . What next ? Will they demand trading cards ?

I find all these stuff useless . Maybe i'm too old .

Probably because all the moaning and whining about the lack of achievements of late might make gog rethink or reject games the could otherwise be here without them. And being game preservation my main concern, I don't care one tiny little bit about game achievements artificially made through store architectures that won't stand the test of time and are, arguably, moot for drm-free games that will survive the demise of such stores.

It's not "moaning and whining" to complain about being treated like second-class citizens by being sold a sub-par/feature-removed version of a game, even though we have to pay the same real money to buy it as do customers on another platform who get a superior version just because the devs happen to show them favoritism and not to care about treating GOG customers worse.

GOG should indeed stop selling games that don't have Achievement parity with Steam. GOG already refuses to sell games from devs that don't have update parity with Steam, and GOG often de-lists such games from the GOG catalogue when the devs admit they aren't going to bother to give the GOG version update parity.

It's a double standard on GOG's part not to likewise insist on feature parity (at least so far as features that the GOG platform is able to offer), including Achievements. And the victims of that double standard are the GOG customers.

The best thing GOG could do is to abandon that double standard, and insist upon/demand that devs who can't be bothered to give their GOG games feature parity are not allowed to be sold on GOG.

I can understand the argument for game preservation and wanting games to be here at all being more important then getting games with achievements. It's more important to me too (particularly since I use Linux and thus cannot use achievements to begin with). But I don't understand the argument that it is straight up positive when games that have achievements on Steam don't get them here.

I finished the game five minutes ago. Very brief, but great stuff. I wonder what kind of other combination I can try, as during the game dialogues and choices make a HUGE difference. You can remain oblivious to the truth, discover it, misinterpret it... and there is definitely more to come. I can recommend Katana Zero for sure, if you like poignant games that cut on anything superfluous.

You are forgetting that steam customers are the ones, most of the time, buying a substandard drmd version of the game. As you don't care about drm-free at all, you should be buying games on steam instead of here. You would be happier and we wouldn't have a drm advocate trying to dictate what games we should have. Games linked to a store client are not drm-free as far as I'm concerned.
Yes, I agree with you, as I don't actually mind galaxy achievements at all; I don't use galaxy. My point was just to showcase why some people could be bothered by all this new upcoming achievement demands and its possible unfortunate ramifications.

It would be really nice if they added a deluxe edition with the soundtrack included.

The soundtrack is very good indeed, it would be a nice addition.

If you think that the version of the game is tied to the store with achievements is "superior verion" than the DRM-Free version of the game, but without achievements, then you have chosen the wrong store. You'd better choose the store that best suits your needs. You will make happier not only yourself, but also those for whom the other option is more important: the absence of DRM.

End yes, for that matter, all the achievements in the GOG version can be done: if the achievement says "jump 100 times", you can jump 100 times in GOG version, if the achievement says "kill 100 trolls", then in GOG version you can kill 100 trolls. The only difference is that there are no notifications about it. But notification is not a gameplay or in-game event, so the game is no worse from this either in terms of plot, in terms of features, in terms of gameplay, or anything else.
There are no losses in game features. The problem exists only inside your mind.

Achievements (and here you mean those shown on your shop profil) : how stores and gaming *industry* can lure customers making them think that having a shiny profil full of medals is more importants than games themselves.
(I saw too many bad reviews over steam about lacking achievements games based exclusively on this point, this is so absurd !)

I even see people crying because some ingame implemented achievements are not shown on this holy narcissistic and exhibitionist shop profil ! (both on gog and steam, wtf)

And please, asking for gog (or steam-like (be honest) achievements by calling them "game features" when they are plain and simple SHOP features is merely dishonest. (or completely naive)

As said before, after this you will complain about the lack of trading cards (not less "game features" than achievements...), then you can complain about the lack of game themed smileys, and I don't know what next...

Besides, I feel that Katana Zero lacks of a dedicated forums here in GoG, for by example report a weird issue with genuine xbox pad (mentionned in the game itself) that have controles mixing up every now and then during a run, and I have to open up control pad edit menu then validate (without changing anything) to back to the game with default controls.

Finished the game over the weekend, just loved to death...even did the extra effort and made a custom cover and burned a dvd:
