GoG has made statements about a CoC to stop hatespeech in game reviews and shit

2019-11-29 00:55:22 UTC  

Wew

2019-11-29 00:55:24 UTC  

I'm a lniux fag

2019-11-29 00:55:45 UTC  

960? 1060? see not even sure it's so meh

2019-11-29 00:56:09 UTC  

I was going to replay KOTOR

2019-11-29 00:56:13 UTC  

I have a windows gaming PC with a 1070ti and everything else is probably bottleneck now. Otherwise I tinker with Linux

2019-11-29 00:56:17 UTC  

people were talking about the new Star Wars game

2019-11-29 00:56:29 UTC  

Got me thinking about all the old games

2019-11-29 00:56:34 UTC  

Dark Foces

2019-11-29 00:56:39 UTC  

Jedi Knight Dark Forces II

2019-11-29 00:57:28 UTC  

Yeah I've heard that the new game is fine but obviously not Outcast/Academy good combat-wise

2019-11-29 00:57:54 UTC  

Multiplayer for Outcast and Academy were so fun

2019-11-29 01:00:05 UTC  

I found it in my box of old computer shit

2019-11-29 01:00:10 UTC  

I have the Jazz Jackrabbit CD still

2019-11-29 01:00:55 UTC  

Found WCII, as well, but just a jewel case

2019-11-29 01:08:51 UTC  

I've still got Warcraft 2 and Quake 2

2019-11-29 01:09:20 UTC  

We had a copy of Fallout 1 but it didnt work and I think we got rid of it, which is a shame because I think I could have fixed it now

2019-11-29 01:10:50 UTC  

I don't mind paying more if they actually do something

2019-11-29 01:10:58 UTC  

but even some of these asset upgrades are a complete joke

2019-11-29 01:11:08 UTC  

Look worse than the originals

2019-11-29 01:11:23 UTC  

Yeah, often they dont bother to match it to the overall aesthetic

2019-11-29 01:11:30 UTC  

I like what GoG is doing, but for someone like me. I already bought all these games, most of the people who worked on them are long gone.

2019-11-29 01:11:36 UTC  

Do they donate to dosbox?

2019-11-29 01:11:37 UTC  

Or you get gameplay additions that dont fit. Fucking Beamdog

2019-11-29 01:11:39 UTC  

have anyone work on code?

2019-11-29 01:11:45 UTC  

Everything I've seen is just ini files

2019-11-29 01:11:49 UTC  

not like it's anything special

2019-11-29 01:12:14 UTC  

Beamdog does the old Black Isle/Bioware Enhanced Edition versions

2019-11-29 01:13:42 UTC  

So the BG2 version with the Orc Blackguard and the party-able vampire and shit <:blondeDisgust:622971427410149386>

2019-11-29 01:14:06 UTC  

I heard the NWN "enhanced" was just complete garbage too

2019-11-29 01:14:41 UTC  

HMM WHAT'S THIS

2019-11-29 01:21:12 UTC  

Oh yeah that game looks neat
And tbh I didnt like the old NWN much either, though the editor was pretty great

2019-11-29 01:31:39 UTC  

I haven't actually heard anything about the Beamdog BG2 'remaster,' but I kinda stopped paying attention to Beamdog after I realized that BG Tutu was still the best way to play the first game.

2019-11-29 01:33:56 UTC  

They just contract a bunch of artists and make new assets cause it's cheaper than improving anything. So what's the point.

2019-11-29 01:34:13 UTC  

It's hard for me to see anything from most of these remasters as anything but a cash grab

2019-11-29 01:34:48 UTC  

Artists are a lot cheaper than programmers, especially if the quality of some of these remasters is anything to go by...they're not getting the best artists either.

2019-11-29 01:35:35 UTC  

@wolfman1911 I don't think you can even buy the originals anymore

2019-11-29 01:36:36 UTC  

Last I heard GOG includes the originals if you buy the remake, but if you don't want to give money to a bunch of hacks, yeah you can't buy them anymore.
