Glad they made the right choice. Requiring online access to access additional features in a single player game is a silly idea. As for the devs, not only they shot themselves in the foot with this one due to lost sales. But if I'm not mistaken, even the 2 sequels work in a similar way which bars them from being released on GOG in the future unless they make them work offline (which I don't see them doing).

Can confirm Blood Omen is running fine in Wine, the GOG release is using some sort of DX Wrapper. :grin:

I think the review bombing is well deserved. A single player game requiring such online features shouldn't be sold on a place like GOG, it should be removed until a solution is presented.

I didn't participate in the forum discussion but simply voted with my wallet, didn't buy the game. I could forgive GOG for not offering the Linux version, Feral doesn't seem to like GOG.

What's worse is that both Hitman 2 and 3 have these similar features. They'd have to do additional work if they want to release it on GOG too. Goes to show how bad DRM is.

GOG has been straying off from the beaten path for some time already. Cyberpunk's Galaxy requirement to install some skins is also a crappy move and I will never buy it unless they change it.

Quoting: CalinouIf I'm not mistaken, the data files from this release should be usable just fine with the Raze [External Link] source port.

You're correct on that. I've been playing this game with Raze for a while, I'm at about half way through. Haven't had any issues.

I don't like Pokemon
I don't like My Little Pony

But I'll still buy this game on release anyway :grin:

Happy Birthday Linux!

I've switched to Linux full time in 2014, been my only OS at home. It's amazing how far it's come since then.

On Windows I was bored and restricted. Win8 UI is a mess and I didn't want to have anything to do with that.

Very nice laptop and that cooling system looks beefy enough to my liking. The AMD CPU option is unfortunately only half the solution, the Nvidia gpu is a huge turn off and not something I'd want to have in a Linux laptop.

Quoting: GuestEven though it's not the GNU/Linux version, and I do have it on Steam and Stadia, Tomb Raider 2013 is tempting me simply because I can back it up easily.

Been playing it in Wine the past 2 hours, no issues here :)

Never had performance issues with it natively, it's more that I'm increasingly wanting backups of installers for games that I might play again. GOG is of course good for that. I am curious however: is there any stuttering in new areas for shader compilation? That can be one drawback of going through wine (+dxvk).

I did have a few stutters in the beginning of the game, can't recall any stutter in beginning of new areas. It's been very smooth overall though.

Can highly recommend Tower of Time, I started playing the game only last week and it got me hooked.
