Def Jam 2: Fight for NY. It’s basically like some of the older WWF wresling games where there can be 4 fighters at a time, but you can only be targetting one at a time. But all the fighters are rappers. The finishing moves are awesome!
Well, if nothing else, it’s on my Steam Deck too, and the decks seem to make the game more accessible to people who don’t have an eight-hundred dollar bill lying around.
You and I would have been friends in 2001. We’d have smoked some weed, and played that stoner game where hou create a story one word at a time…and somehow, that one word always ends up being “penis”.
…from what I’ve read and seen in the past, that game can be rather risky on one’s thumbsticks due to all the efforts in making yourself look as amazing as possible.
It’s crazy to me that we don’t get games like SSX anymore. Games can’t just be a goofy fun time now, for the most part. Even indies don’t tend to do things like that.
That may because they actually don’t sell, but I doubt it. It’s just going to not make as much money, and most studios only make games with too much budget now instead of allowing smaller games to be made with less risk.
Given the things I’d like to see GOG investing in, it sounds irresponsible to buy Times Square ad space, but that’s just a gut reaction that’s not based on any real numbers.
As a purely Linux user, I’m just glad Heroic is around so I have options to play with less problems. Heck, they even have an agreement with GOG themselves where they get a proceed of the purchases made on GOG through a special link, or via Heroic.
GOG has its issues, but as someone dedicated to DRM-free games, and games preservation, they are still my favorite lot to buy games from!
Yeah, same, for all of the same reasons as you. But it would be nice if they cleaned up their store page so it was better at conveying features, like Steam. Or if I didn’t have to go to SteamDB to see what DirectX or Visual C++ runtime I need to install with winetricks.
As a side note, if you use Lutris it has install scripts for pretty much all GoG games, which will take care of adding the necessary libraries via winetricks and you can use them for game installation even when not using Lutris’ support for direct dowload from GoG and instead installing from a local copy of the GoG offline installer for that game.
Yeah I’m buying any game I can on GOG these days. Between being DRM-free and being pre-patched (sometimes with community patches) it’s definitely the best platform, particularly if you like to buy older games/retro games occasionally.
I’m the exception to gaming, I have maybe 20-ish games on Steam, but '000’s on GOG. I’ve always had a thing for the underdog, maybe that’s what made me focus on them from the start. I just love their platform, and their ethos. They’ll never be a competitor to Steam or Epic Games, but I don’t think they’re trying to be any more.
Announcing they’d have native Linux support with a launcher and then never mentioning it again, hoping that everyone would forget?
That feels pretty awful to me, a Linux user. Obviously negated since we have such lovely work as Heroic (the dev of which is a personal friend), but it is the odd strange misstep like this which strikes me as being pretty sad.
Then we have developers never updating their games on GOG. Admittedly not a GOG problem, per se, but they could pressure these developers so that this kind of issue wouldn’t persist. There are SO many games which do this, that the GOG forums have a dedicated thread for this very issue: www.gog.com/forum/general/…/page316/?search=secon…At the moment, there are 4,729 replies on that thread.
GOG Galaxy 2.0 is nigh-on-abandoned now, with constant problems. There’s a slew of posts about it on all Reddit, their forum and on social media.
They have their issues. I adore them, but they have their issues.
