Throne of Bhaal through Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition:



That the Chinchilla keeps running off before I can kill it is really starting to annoy me.

Ion Maiden still does not appear to have been updated on the 3D Realms webstore. There really is no benefit to buying the game directly from the developer it seems, which is pretty poor considering that by doing so I have given them the most support with my purchase.

This date stamp was a tad amusing to find though:


We all know the game is supposed to be retro, but... :whistle:

Is there any reason why it needs a limit removing source port like GZDOOM or can it still be run with something more chocolate?

On the comments for the launch trailer the developer confirms that the game will be coming to GOG.com sometime "NEXT YEAR", so hopefully all three platforms will be ready to go by then.

Quoting: GuestHey now, come on, gallery shooters like serious sam are good fun too

They have their place yes, but it annoys me greatly how much they have come to encapsulate the limit of what most people think an old school FPS is. Retro shooters were about so much more. How can we forget that?

Quoting: g000hI'm a big fan of DOOM, Quake, and similar "old-skool" FPS games (High speed, dodging around, fast-reaction game-play rather than sneaking around and sniping) ... Recently I've been playing a bit of original Painkiller using Proton/Steam Play and it's been working fine. (That's another title with similar play style.)

Far more important to me in a retro FPS is an emphasis on solid non-linear level design featuring interesting locales, smart enemy and item placements, and an overall sense of craft. It is why games like Painkiller and Serious Sam just don't do it for me in the way that Doom, Blood, or Duke Nukem 3D do. Thankfully I have heard some encouraging noises that Dusk may also provide just that.

Quoting: GustyGhostI have had some luck in the past with directly emailing developers about GOG builds. In both instances, they ended up available on GOG within the following week.

That was my first recourse, yeah. Never got a response though.

I am just going to use this as ANOTHER opportunity to complain about the fact the Linux release of the Penumbra Collection is still not on GOG.com as of the time of this posting. It is quite annoying that I am still reliant on my old Desura copy of the game. Please get on this already Frictional. Your support for Linux and DRM Free gaming in every other respect is top notch.

Quoting: ExpalphalogBeen playing Hard West this week. Love it. The combat is challenging, the infiltration mode is great, and the storylines are top notch. It does tend to crash when finishing missions for the first time which is frustrating unless you remember to quicksave before completing the last objective.

Which of course was not an option when I was playing it... :whistle:
