I see some games are going to be removed from their catalogue, but I don't think it is because of their fair price policy. Publishers/devs are paid the price, it's gog who gives out the difference. If something it helps them since people are getting more from their purchase, virtually buying the game at a lower price while the publisher gets the whole price.

Fuck regional prices. Anybody who doesn't think GOG is based is a valvedrone or just a full on retard.

Anything on that list actually worth a shit except the Gothic games?

Spellforce and The Guild 2 are pretty good.

Definitely Jack Keane 2, pls buy it

This so called "Fair pricing" is bad for video game industry, everyone with half of a brain knows it.

>>260189510
>The Guild 2
>not shit
The first one was GOTY though

>>260189754
Desperados, Red Faction, Gothic 2, Panzer Elite (if it's the one I'm thinking of), Painkiller.
I'd also recommend Penumbra and Amnesia if you're into horror games.

>>260184860
>>260186930
Fuck, they should do what they with the Fallout series and just give them free to everyone with an account

>>260189754
Gothic 2 Gold Edition is worth the 2$.

So whats the deal with the gothic series? I hear different things about which games are good and which ones are bad.

I always hear that 2 is good but that it needs a patch? Which patch?
Are 1 and 3 worth anything or is 2 the only good one?

>>260189872
play it fully patched man, its got some issues, but its so great I forgive them

>>260184860
Good. Gog sold community content as part of their product and bought the licenses for freeware or abandonware games.

>2014
>buying free content made by fans of the game
>buying games whose principle development team have no chance of getting back together
>buying digital copies of games from a company like GoG.

>>260189975
Fallout was free because Interplay wanted them to be free to fuck over Bethesda.

>>260190037
It dropped most of micromanagement and added bloated sims shit. The game is objectively literally not very good.

on top what those anons said I'd add first spellforce. Shit is really intense. Aged really well, played it this spring, so it's not some nostalgia googles.
Also Painkiller BE for some a bit grimderp serious sam like shootfest. Fun.

yea that piece of shit gog can die off

>>260189754
Red Faction 1, Gothic 2, Spellforce, Painkiller, Desperados and Freedom Force are all pretty cool.

Jack Keane if you're into great modern classic point and click adventure games like Deponia.

The Guild if you like life sims.

Guild 2: Renaissance with mods is pretty solid. I like the Sims shit, and it still feels like there is plenty to do and manage. I think as it is right now after two expansions and plenty of modding to fix the broken shit, it's a good buy.

>>260191494
Combat , performance and the game being too huge.

The first two things can be saved with the patch

Heads up for people planning on getting Gothic 2: It's a direct continuation of the first game. I'd recommend playing Gothic first. It's not 100% necessary but I think it's still important. It's not as good as 2 but it's still absolutely amazing.

Fair pricing means that they don't jew you with € = $ shit.

Not relevant for most americans because its most europe and australia who get fucked over.

>>260191494
It's not Gothic 2.

Anycase, getting Gothic 1-3 from GoG seem like good idea, considering issues steam versions have, especially Gothic 2.

>>260191660
>Is that no discounts

Yeah, fuck them for actually adding content to a goddamn video game.

Red Faction 1.

Not all content is good content. Take everything on its own merits. Blindly thinking something is good just because there's more of it is pretty stupid.

Marketing stunt

During a period of days from September 19 to 22, 2010, the GOG website was disabled leaving behind messages on the web site and their Twitter accounts that the site had been closed.[15] A spokesperson for Good Old Games reiterated that the site is not being shut down, and confirmed news would be forthcoming about changes to the service.[16] A clarification posted on the site on September 20, 2010, said they had to shut down the site temporarily "due to business and technical reasons", with industry journalists believing the shutdown may be related to the nature of DRM-free strategy, based on Twitter messages from the company.[17]

On September 22, 2010, GOG revealed that this shutdown was a marketing hoax as part of the site coming out of beta.[18][19]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOG.com

and this is why I'll never use GOG, and just pirate Alpha Centauri until Steam puts it up

>>260193502
GOG loses them only.
Most of them are DRM free available on Gamersgate and other sites. But there you get no fair pricing.

>>260188413
At least Gothic 1 is owned by Piranha Bytes and won't be removed.

Almost all the games that will be removed are owned by Nordic Games.

There were other games that caused things to back up, both in that initial sale and the later timed one, but I think the original Night of 100 Keanes was still the funniest. I don't think anything will quite replace it.

Pirate game if it's not available on GoG. Buy game on GoG when it's really heap and I don't want to apply fixes and shit every time I install it. Only right option, unless you like Steam community cancer.

Holy fuck this is bad.

Just pirate the nordic games, fuck them

The latest update of Steam ruined my Linux PC.

It did something with my home folder and now everything is broken.

Already send a ticket to Steam support but well, they usually need 2-3 days to reply.

I do like the fact that they show you a large number of reviews, as opposed to just the top 3 dicksuckers.

>The Fair Price Package applies to all of the titles which we couldn't include in our standard pricing scheme. If you end up paying more for a game than its standard US Dollar price, we'll refund you the difference out of our own pocket. The refunded value will be added to your account in Store Credit in the currency of your purchase. That's right, no more gift codes, you'll be getting Store Credit that you can use to purchase anything on GOG.com or partially pay for an item that's more expensive. More choice, ease of use, and less limitations!

GoG would already be dead if it wasn't for Witcher 3 cash. If Witcher 3 ends up shitty (which according to trailers is a strong possibility) and their client app fails, they're gone by 2016.

>>260198761
Nah, looks like amusing collateral damage. Many the games being pulled were published by Nordic Games, so it looks like some deal with them is running out and Keane 2 is part of it. Keane 1 was published by someone else and is still going to be on the catalog.

>>260199686

They existed long before Witcher 3 so your comment is invalid.

>>260198761
>did /v/ give them so much negative
/v/ gave them positive. Jack's score before the Keanening was 2/5. Now the average is 5/5 thanks to reviews like >>260198634. It worked - the next time it came on sale it sold rapidly because the clueless people thought the joking reviews were genuine.

And then /v/ was the marketers.

>>260199350
This has merit. Does anyone know why Nordic is removing their games?

>>260199912

All they said is soon but who knows what they consider "Soon". I hope it's not the Blizzard version of soon.

How's this for a list of shit to get?

Freedom Force vs. the Third Reich
Penumbra Collection
Painkiller Black Edition
Red Faction I
Gothic 2 Gold Edition

Think about picking up the first Guild if you like medieval marketing jew sims.

>>260199945
average consumer AKA someone who just wants a game.

DRM doesn't matter unless it's intrusive (to most people, steam is not intrusive), free shit like shitty wallpapers that you could just get from google.

fair pricing is a good point, now they just need games from this century.

>>260200423
Someone who just wants a game would prefer to just get a direct game that they could play anywhere with no frills or need for a client.

Yeah the free shit isn't that great but it's a nice bonus, definitely wouldn't sway me to buy a game I'm not interested in though.

And fair pricing is excellent. They do need to get newer games for sure, I agree.

Do you mean the games or the service itself? Steam has caused me more problems than GOG and there was a long period of time where any old game I bought from Steam had zero attempt at making it work on modern systems. Thief for example, according to people I know who tried to buy it there.

>>260200343
That doesn't sound like something I'd be too interested in but thank you for the advice.

Can someone recommend me any games besides Gothics and Spellforces which I'm gonna get?

>>260201656
What kinds of games do you like?

>>260200343
Is the second one any good?

>>260201901
Not as good as the first one but still decent with the addons and patched.

just got 8 games for $16. thank you based gog.

Are the Darkfall and Black Mirror series any good?

>>260184860
>fair pricing.

90% of shit on gog is overpriced shit i can get at the thrift store or ebay for a dollar and usually boxed.

>>260201736
Well, Gothic and Spellforce series, that's two.
Apart from that I like tactical games and simulators and shit.
Speaking of which, that Panzer Elite aged horribly.

>>260194660

What they mean is they won't charge 10 Euros or 10 Pounds or whatever in foreign markets for the $10 game.

>>260199350
At least they do something with the franchises they acquire.
At gamescom they announced Aquanox 3 and Spellforce 3.

People have differing opinions in this thread so mileage may vary. I personally liked it.

If you grab it, only grab Guild 2: Renaissance. It's a stand alone expansion that has all the stuff from the base game + Pirates and new features as well, as well as being the version mods and fixes are made for.

>>260202530
You could check out Full Spectrum Warrior: Ten Hammers and Freedom Force vs. the Third Reich.

>>260202331

The first Black Mirror is pretty good and the GOG version works better than the Steam version. GOG fixed some sound errors that plague the Steam version.

>>260202527
that's why you only buy on massive sales. The library is small enough that everything will be on there eventually.

>>260199287
No, same price everywhere.

Gog is owned by ea

I didn't realize how misleading the screenshots for Spellforce were

>>260202732
I remember playing the original FSW, it felt a bit weird but I liked the idea, apparently Ten Hammers is better, so I'm gonna try that one now, also that Freedom Force looks kinda like Silent Storm, which is neat, I'll get that too then, thanks.

Jack Keane will never sell a copy again.

>>260203369
Yeah I've heard Ten Hammers fixes a lot of issues with the base game but I haven't played either, just from what I've read. But yeah, best of luck to you.

GOG stood is ground with is world pricing policy. They wanted to remove it to attract publisher. We, sustomer, said "Fuck off, GOG, don't sell out like that". They didn't sell out and said "Ok, fine, let's keep the fair price policy".

Data is just ones and zeros. The significance is the intellectual property and licensing.

There is literally no difference between the actual game that Gamestop sells you, and a burnt copy of it. The only difference is licensing.

GOG is licensed to sell these games without DRM, and members of the scene are not.

Why would they bother removing the DRM when it's already been done? It's just putting in unnecessary work to achieve something that's already been done. The important part isn't the data, it's the licensing.

Do you need to play Gothic 1 to understand Gothic 2?

>>260212547
Yes
You kinda can go in Gothic 2 without Gothic 1 but you will miss a lot of shit.
