joshdad: Let me ask, if you could only get 1 game would you get Amerzone or Syberia (1 or 2) and why?

mgol: I actually didn't see much difference between Syberia 1 & 2, for me it was one game artificially divided into two parts. I enjoyed both games a lot, they looked quite fine, too. The only thing that little annoyed me was that I cannot make the character run faster. I was used to how it was done in The Longest Journey, where you could hold Esc and April would almost immediately appear when I clicked. I usually didn't use it at the first time I went somewhere but in adventure games you have to visit a lot of places repeatedly so waiting to get somewhere while seeing the same scenery repeatedly is a little annoying.

But, after all, it's just nitpicking. For me the game was great, riddles weren't ridiculous and the atmosphere was just as it should be. After all, I wouldn't buy this game twice if it weren't worth it. ;) (now I have "boxed" Polish & GOG's English versions)
I was just settling in to not buying anything from it and you convinced me to get both Syberias.

I bought both Syberia in an old promo and I really like it. hough I really had to use a walkthrough a couple of time, but that's only due to my incompetence as a gamer and riddles that you actually have to pay some attention to solve...

At the moment I'm stuck in some kind of university whee I have to move a train.

VisualDarkness: I too hate you for taking my money every promo, I haven't even installed the old games yet!
Kidding aside you guys rock. ;)
You shouldn't feel obligated play them instantly (it's always nice to have a nice selection of games in the backlog so that after you finish the latest one, you can play whatever strikes your fancy), but you should at least install them to make sure the download isn't corrupted before you do your backup :P.

Well, 4 days to go before my monthly bandwidth allowance resets and I can download Amerzone. Kinda weird that it's a whooping 4.8 gigs and yet later adventure installments are under 2 gigs.

Curse the Witcher for taking a big chunk of my bandwith earlier this month :P.

Dunno, riddles are fine, but some aspects of certain games are just finicky and unless you're still a kid, time matters.

At some point, I got stuck in Simon only to find out in the walkthrough that I missed an entire area that was well hidden.

mystral: Sorry to be nitpicking, but the phrase "La vie est grande" is nonsensical. "grande" means big or tall, not great. "juste comme" has no meaning either. English and French are different enough languages that you can't just translate word by word.

I get that you used the fake French to be funny, but it always annoys me when English speakers who obviously don't actually know French use Google translate or their dim high school recollections to make it seem like they do.
Not sure of any work that features "C'est beau la vie", but it would leave a lot of people scratching their heads anyways.

They tried.

They have all these romantic notions about the language, because they weren't reprimanded in it by their mother as a child. That tends to take the romance right out of it.

Kinda cool on their part to mention that the company is French, I wouldn't have known otherwise.

You don't have to install them, it's enough to run the integrity check which is done at the beginning of installation. Then you can exit the installer.

If it still was broken, then it would be so for everyone and I bet someone would notice that quite quickly. ;)

One thinks they could have run this promo after my finals haha. Really wanting Syberia. Gonna have to wait a little bit longer! >=-S

Sacrebleu! I recently picked up Syberia from one of GOG's Wednesday promos and I haven't even tried it yet. Is it worth getting up the sequel?

It's one game divided into two parts. At least the story is. You really should play part two.

The only reason no to is if you don't like Syberia 1 at all.

This is a great offer, I bought Megarace 1+2 even though I already have them on CD.
A simple executable is so much more comfortable than requiring a CD to be in the drive during the game...A friend introduced me to Megarace 2 and I was overwhelmed by the 3D-effects back in 1997. I already had the other games except Haegemonia and Iron Storm, which are just not my kind of games....

Took Syberia 2, already have Syberia 1. Thank you GOG.
Posted May 21, 2011
Oh hell yeah, there's some great games on there.Other than the obvious gems like Syberia, Iron Storm is a pretty damn good action game, and Haegemonia is an excellent space RTS that will remind you a bit of Homeworld, though not quite on that level.

Bought Syberia 1-2.You fill my summer vacation GOG

I bought MegaRace 1 + 2 yesterday and had a blast playing through the first game. Decided to buy MegaRace 3 too soon after although I've heard it's pretty awful! But who could not want to see more of Lance Boyle! :p

I appreciate everyone's feedback. I went ahead and purchased Syberia 1. I'll download it tonight, and try playing it for a while tomorrow. If it seems like something I will really like, I might go ahead and grab Syberia 2 (if I don't get a chance to play much tomorrow, and find out later that I really like it, I can always look forward to a future sale to pick up 2 then).

That is, if you are able to stop a game in the middle of it. Syberia 1 & 2 is just one game for me, artificially divided into two parts, so the first one ends in a place you don't want games to end. ;)

I originally played both versions one after another, I had a Polish Syberia 1 & 2 box.
