It's alright, I liked Dark Descent more but the sequel's pretty good in it's own right.
Thank you for making this lame joke so I didn't have to.

Can't tell if serious.

I forgot how balls hard the original MM is.
I've never beaten it before, I think the first I did finish was MM2.
That first boss in Dr. Wily's lair is a bag of dicks.

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.
You know, while I appreciate GOG's bundle pricing quite a bit (not over-charging for games you already own) I'm also quite annoyed with it sometimes when I already own one of the games somewhere else.
I saw they have the earlier Elder Scrolls games now. Great, I'd like to buy them and the 33% discount is quite generous. But then I realize I've gotta re-buy Morrowind (for like the fifth time) and I'm like... "nope". And removing Morrowind from the bundle makes the rest of the games full price.
So I guess I'll pick them up eventually either when they're individually on sale or later on when I'm ready to play one. Which is sad, because I'd happily pay the discount price for the two games I don't own as an impulse purchase, but can't bring myself to pay full price for either knowing they're full price.

Cool. My writing got me a gig as a game design consultant. I'm doing my test run now, hoping I'm cool to work with. I'd love to do this regularly; it's much nicer on my health.
man, statements like these always bum me out because I really think most of my column is good work.

Ran into the same situation, reasoned it was only $11 for the other two and that I've spent more on lunch that that, so got them anyway. I usually do that with GOG games for some reason though, so when sale times come around, I buy squat.
Congrats dude, best of luck!
Whoa, stop right there.
These are the baaaad ones.
They didn't run well on release, and they run even worse emulated.
You don't want them.
Trust me.
Congrats!

It's just a weird tactic is all. I mean I get that buying a bundle should be cheaper, but in a lot of cases removing a single game will make the price of the bundle skyrocket and actually cost more.
I know it's only like $9 difference to just re-buy Morrowind and I know I've spent hundreds and hundreds of hours playing the game so it's almost silly to argue over that amount.
It's just got me in this weird "non-buying" state where I can't really justify the purchase in my head because without buying all of them at once, they're not really on sale. It's only $12 for the other two, but you could pay that $12 any time since that's full price.
It'd make much more sense if, say, the games were 25% off unless you bought the bundle then they were 33%. But I guess it's just one of those weird things that my brain probably won't ever understand and it's probably working fine for GOG so I'll just buy them later.
Haha that also helps with my purchasing decision. I know they're terrible but that doesn't stop me from wanting to play (well, replay in the case of Redguard) them again. I guess they also come with free copies of Arena and Daggerfall, so there's also that.

How long it is to beat the game and/or 100% it?
Does 100% mean doing every side quests & activities?

Cheevos, one playthrough.
Took me 40 hours total to complete + 100% it. Could've been done faster, but I did almost all of the expert trials and several sidequests.
Good luck with that, it's been three years and I'm still waiting for Neverwinter Nights 2 to go on a sale that doesn't stipulate buying the whole D&D bundle with it. :\

Not right now. Yesterday's GMG mistake was too good though.
Have to love the Behemoth... I don't know what I just watched but it looks great.

Mad Max is 40% off at GMG, all that remains from yesterday.

Looks fun.
But I've never really been a transformers fan so I don't really feel the need to pick it up on launch, I'll probably wait for a steam sale.

It baffles me how Type-0 got massacred by the negative reviews while Grandia II is very positive so far. I'm not talking about the 4:3 and 30 fps of Grandia II, the game is very buggy atm.
Is it the nostalgic feeling of Grandia II or people just hate SquareEnix?

At least Gungho had their PR talking, even at here lol
There are lots of cases where two similar games released around the same time get drastically different reviews, in some cases with a shitty game being "very positive" while a superior game gets, at best, "mixed." It doesn't baffle me, however-- there are a lot of assholes out there.

Guess its the Nostalgia. But both parents arent quite... stable it seems.
I would guess the bad blood from the XIII releases
Aside from being physics locked to 30 fps, the AA being mislabeled uber sampling, and the European launch bug (which was patched quickly), it is technically a great port
Then again you need a controller because KB/M controls are shit

Good news Everyone!
It's a very cool game, hopefully this mean Book 2 is on it's way soon.
You said it in the Profs. voice didn't you?
Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms returns home! Finally
Hi all,
here we are finally with the first news, as promised. I have briefly talked in other threads, but here are more official info.
The official announcement will be sent out shortly but
here are the most important points a bit in advance
- We were never fond of bitComposer's decision to release bonus content as part of Deluxe Edition. Therefore we make DLC part of the regular edition, so all bonus content is now part of the standard edition. This includes three side quests - The Tholean Tablet, Scorpion King and The Owl Amulet. All players can now enjoy these quests!
- Instead of bonus content we make pre-decessor of Shadows - Kult: Heretic Kingdoms - part of Deluxe Edition
- We release 6 bonus songs from Shadows to original soundtrack
- As a token of gratitude to all players who bought Shadows we have decided to give all players Kult: Heretic Kingdoms for free
- We also give away to all players who bought Shadows the original soundtrack from Shadows for free and thus upgrading all existing copies to Deluxe Edition.
At last, tomorrow there start limited time discount of 50% to all acquired titles as a celebration that we have back the rights for our games and can finally focus on the development and improvements of Heretic Kingdoms (including Book 2 and further improvements to of course) instead of wasting time and resources in legal proceedings.
So check your libraries for Kult, DLC and OST from Shadows.
And look forward to more news about upcoming updates for Shadows!
Enjoy and thanks for your patience!
It's a very cool game, hopefully this mean Book 2 is on it's way soon.
