I thought about playing Dicey Dungeons, but I ended up playing HyperRogue.

Quoting: NanobangI've started playing Fallout: New Vegas using Steam Play. I've had some hangs on loading, which is a drag, but otherwise works well. Looks better than it did on my X360, which is the last time I played it, I think.(…)

I don't think that the loading issues are caused by Steam Play. It's bound to be Bethesda programming – infinite loading times are a common problem.

That's the trouble with third party porting companies that act as a publisher at the same time. And than there's always the danger that the ports are abandoned when the porting house folds (remember Loki).

Quoting: no_information_hereI am glad that there is so much activity right now. However, I have to admit that there are very few of these that interest me. Maybe I am getting old. Sigh...

Ditto. From the list above only “Slay the Spire” and “Pathway” interest me. “Dust” falls into the “sort of” category, because it seems to be less “Quake” and more “Unreal”, so I probably would not enjoy it. “Rise of Industry” is another “sort of”, because I don't enjoy the transport mechanism that it uses. I realize that I'm sounding like a broken record, but I'd rather play “OpenTTD”.

A game that is not on the list that I'll definitely buy when they've got the most annoying bugs ironed out is “Irony Curtain: From Matryoshka with Love”.

Quoting: NanobangLiam, would you describe what qualities make this a roguelike?

Do you know http://www.roguebasin.com/index.php?title=What_a_roguelike_is [External Link] and the Berlin interpretation?

The problem is that the term roguelike became muddled because it is trendy to call everything a roguelike instead of roguelite.

I know it's too much to ask but wouldn't a spreadsheet that compares features of those source ports and engine reimplementations as well as the original a good idea? :whistle:

That's a good idea. Please feel free to create such a spreadsheet. :D

Quoting: MblackwellI don't believe movie playback is supported (you could hack them in in various ways but I'm not going to get into it). For the CD tracks you can rip them to FLAC or OGG at the very least.

Fresh Supply has a TON of inaccuracies and bugs.

NBlood has move playback, but you have to extract them from the CD image included in the “previous” GOG version.

Quoting: officerniceHaven't played this since I was a kid... So... Should I buy the "old" Blood on Steam and put it into the nblood sourceport, or just wait for the port of the new one?

NBlood is great. Caveat: On Linux the GUI does not have the INI selector, so you have to add “--ini CRYPTIC.INI” as command line argument to play the Cryptic Passage.

Well, I don't think that's a huge surprise. After all, they are the ones that started Humble Bundle, and after they sold it a long time ago, why wouldn't they sell their games on a different store without DRM?

I think it would be nice if the person that redeemed drlamb's gift would post something.

Overcooked 2 is Windows-only on GOG. Too bad. I guess they don't want my money. :-(
