I'm loving the preview (leaked?).
It's the best place to get old games, hence the name, good ol' games.
From their catalogue page: 1031 DRM-FREE GAMES
I've been trying to get more from gog using this very same idea, but i've also grabbed fewer AAA titles anyway, so it's actually gotten more mind share of late.

Holy shit. Between the increasing sizes of games and how shitty NA ISP's can be, I definitely think I need a back up drive for my games. Or to buy them on physical media. I'm having to stop and start Shadows of Mordor download since yesterday because I'm not the only person using it or I want to use it for something else (like WoW). I love the savings but I bought the game two days ago and still haven't fully downloaded the game yet. Got a Pali to level up.
Well, assuming they don't set aside a certain amount of space aside for encryption--DVD9's had 9GB capacity but typically 2GB was set aside for encryption purposes--a Blu-ray layer can hold up to 50GB of data. I can't remember how many layers a single BR disc can hold somewhere between 4-6? It feels weird to say but I almost want to start buying physical media again, not that that's really an option for 75% of PC games in NA.
What.
is it like mark of the ninja or something?
to me it was more of the story being absurdly ignorant and offensive as well as the whole section being pretty pointless and basically just filler
just like the most egregious display of rockstar's ugly misanthropic writing
niceI was bored...
Feel free to use it Ningen!
hmm well i don't really care about old games at this point since i pretty much have all the ones i want
thinking more about indie games and stuff
yeah, that's what i'm thinking
i'm barely buying any aaa's, i can launch gog games if i want to through steam and i would feel a lot better about where my money's going
i kind of wish you could just launch steam games from gog's client since i bet it will be much better
"GOG" stands for "Good Old Games". As the name suggests, it initially offered old games exclusively before branching out to indies and further still allowing AAA publishers to sell their relatively old games (e.g. Ubisoft sells a DRM-free[?] version of Far Cry 2).
No, I know what GOG is, I just didn't know it stood for anything.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Looks better than the last dragon game, and more feature complete.
So I haven't visited SteamGaf for a while, but I'm curious to know how you guys feel about paid mods. Do you guys think it's a good idea, or a bad one?
Also, what's the story behind the thread title? Is he still asking for codes to pay for his cable bill? Edit: I just noticed mornigbus made the thread! Where is the Orange guy?

You'll have to download a hefty 5gb patch after installing the physical discs of GTA V though. Seems like they updated the game further after they shipped the dvds worldwide.
Physical discs aren't dependable either.
Haha yeah. I've just recently learned it as well.
I wasn't trying to insult your intelligence; just explaining why the name is no longer an entirely accurate representation of what the service is.

Majority don't like the paid mods, some think it's ok and a few others want to see how it plays out. MrOrange has had a lot going on so stepped down from doing the steam thread. MMBostones made the first one after he left while we waited on what exactly what was going on and morningbus made the april thread because it would be "funny". Jshackles as of now will be the maker of steam threads unless something changes.
Highlights being so far:
People praising Tripwire for a piece of EULA present since 2006. Yet they did the whole paid mods way before this whole debacle. They released mods as dlc. But people are damn blind and don't remember that.
People dismissing Durante's opinion while chanting the praises of PC Gaming, while they won't ever contribute even 1% of what he does on their entire life.

Wow, that Tripwire thread is interesting.
I think I missed that Durante part. Can I have a link?
The dragon looks like a shrinky dink
As the concept is currently implemented? No.
As a concept in general? I think it could be a positive change if implemented well.
Personally, I can't see myself ever paying for mods at all, even with stuff I really like.
And I highly doubt this was done out of any goodwill towards the mod scene, but that's just my opinion.

Nice. I loved that game. Especially Hector Hard Mode.
They don't. That's been debunked. That part of the EULA was been there since 2006. It doesn't even mean that they don't allow paid mods. It means they don't allow paid mods without their consent. The Skyrim paid mods have the consent in the first place. That's how the system works.
Let's not forget that they Tripwire launched paid mods themselves for KF1.
And look how similar the darn reactions it were!
Thanks for the info, guys. I'm not too hot about the idea of paid mods, either. Although the idea of mod creators being paid is nice, it'll just turn to a mess and bring the modding community down, imo.
GOG Galaxy right now is just an installation client with no social features. It works, but it doesn't do anything. Desura may have more features at this point. In fact, I'm not sure why GOG didn't purchase Desura, take their technology, kill everyone and start over.
Y's VI and Not A Hero release next month on GOG. I"m getting those. Crawl, Worlds of Magic, Armello, Nekro and Satellite Reign will release once they come out of early access.
Warner, Paradox and Xseed joined the club this month. You can find Lego games, Transistor, Fear, Y's and Europa Universalis II for sale.
2K, Konami, Sega, Capcom, and Bethesda are the main holdouts. At a glance it looks like EA and Ubisoft haven't released anything on GOG in over a year.

Oh wow, you didn't have to cut it out like that! I won't be making everyone's available until after the game comes out, but the original files will be available in some way if people want to make them their avatars (which would be so cool :3). Here's a downscale of the original art:
That's your freebie~

It is. Which you know is an excellent game. What really surprises me about AssCreed China is that the water painting art style is gorgeous and the voice acting is pretty great too.

How did you handle all the red heads anyway? Or did you just decide to go with it?

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

Fixed attribute really hurts, too fragile and there's no way you can fix that.
I imagine my character submission was one of the pruned ones because I'm not anime enough, so I won't be using a VN avatar.

Not everyone. I had to be realistic after I had 100 submissions for characters to the spreadsheet and I already had 3-5 people I'd picked out already when I started writing. There will be 25 GAFers with portraits/speaking roles, even if they're minor. I've tried to work in names of others just to get more people in, but that's going to be tricky to have make much sense when I start changing names. How will I know everyone will get who someone is supposed to be without an avatar?
Just a matter of how much I could feasibly write and how much I wanted to expect out of my artist.
I'm not sure what you mean! Though, I think there are only two redheads on the cast in total.
I imagine my character submission was one of the pruned ones because I'm not anime enough, so I won't be using a VN avatar.
I pruned a lot of submissions that were anime-as-fuck, simply because I had no idea what to do with that stereotype/trope or I didn't think it would fit.
Anime people are weird~
They actually changed the name. They used to operate as Good Old Games and have now actually changed to GOG LTD so technically GOG no longer stands for Good Old Games in any way at all as it used to

By going from most of the users avatars here I guess the VN will feature a lot of female characters
fair enough. i'm not begging though. i still appreciate my Tence-made avatar

Reminds me of that "DVD doesn't stand for anything" thing.
