If only it was just WASD + mouse. Turning is awkward at best and the game is just uncomfortable. Not to mention the crazy keyboard-controlled menu.
I want to love it, I really do! I always hear how it's one of the best exploration RPGs around, but then I remember that Risen is already installed and it has a sane UI and decent, modern controls!

If you bump your mouse sensitivity way, way up (mine has toggle-able settings on the mouse - I just play Gothic on the highest one) it isn't that bad imo. You need to customize the controls a little, and end up using a combination of wasd + mouse to move around, but it gets the job done.

yeah. need to max up the mouse sensitivity. same in gothic3.

Does anyone knows if Guilty Gear supports xbox360 wireless pad?
In other matters was wondering if there's some way to get alerts when a game you are interested in recieves a discount or special offer. Can't forgive myself for passing the ubisoft offer.
Also what's the best game of the ones offered with Witcher 2 preorder. To be honest not much into RPG's less old ones, but which one features more accessible controls and less deteriorated visuals? I like well done 2d visuals so it isn't an issue.

Dragonshard is actually pretty awesome, I bought it flatout after playing the demo. It's a nice mix of rpg dungeon crawling and rts city building/managment. The graphics and sounds hold up really well too.

btw noticed guilty gear isuka went up on dotemu last week, http://www.dotemu.com/en/download-game/771/guilty-gear-isuka
since there is no dotemu thread (and since dotemu is pretty much the same thing as gog), anyone got any thoughts on this game?
also. last express soundtrack added to gog today. http://www.gog.com/en/news/new_goodies_for_the_last_express_and_rayman_forever

Use an RSS reader on your phone or mail client, and add GOG's RSS, they only publish to it once or twice a week usually, so it's very unoffensive, and they'll publish all the sales to it. On the other hand, I think they do e-mail you after you've bought something from them all the sales they post, or most of them, but I tend to pay a lot less attention to my e-mails than the RSS reader.
Divine Divinity's the most logical choice I believe. They're all RPGs, and Divine Divinity is simple enough with awesome music. It's point and click like Diablo 2, only pretty hard, you can quickly find yourself up against impossible battles if you go the wrong way, and with a bunch of quests/story. Gothic's controls are notoriously poor, and Realms of Arkania is the most dated and apparently super-hardcore (like you can catch a cold and die or if you don't have new shoes you can die). Too bad they didn't add TW1 as a choice.

yeah, divine divinity and gothic 2 gold are easily the strongest games in the pre-order. surprised I didn't own all the games in the pre-order actually. hehe. I've got beyond divinity on gamersgate I think, not sure, that's the only one I'm missing on gog.

Painkiller runs and holds up perfectly, if you can still enjoy DooM, you can enjoy Painkiller. Refreshment.01 just bought it I believe, maybe he has some thoughts too.

Missed this before, but yes, it runs on a wireless 360 pad perfectly. You have to manually enable the analog d-pad in the game's option though, by default it is turned off and you only use the thumbstick.

oh yeah, painkiller still works perfectly. hehe, it isn't really that old is it? hm ok, well 2004. if you're also interested in the people can fly guys who left right before/after epic bought them check out the necrovision games as well. IT IS actually pretty interesting the ways necrovision and necrovision lost company are related to bulletstorm and the ways they are not (the necrovision games aren't on gog though, but). I vastly prefer the necrovision games over bulletstorm, OF COURSE!Snuggler said:

Make sure to run the community patch too. Set your mouse sensitivity really high like mentioned, it helps a bit. I had a fair warning myself, you need like 5 hours or so to adapt, and it certainly doesn't help that while you're fighting the controls, you probably don't have a great grasp on combat either early on, so you're dying all the time. It's uncomfortable at first, but I did adjust in time.

Is Arcanum worth getting?

Quite well in both graphics and gameplay. It's definitely worth 4 bucks.

I think it's a great attempt at making a real RPG, not just a game with levelling and lots of characters. It has flaws and some poorly executed ideas but I'll still recommend anyone to try it if they think it sounds interesting.

What is everyone's thoughts on The Last Express?
It looks and sounds very interesting; I was just wondering if the concept is actually executed well enough so that the game is still enjoyable.

Its really sad that there aren't more JRPG's avaliable on the PC.
I need both WRPG's and JRPG's.

I'd kill for a Megaten game for the PC. Imagine if Nocturne was avaliable on PC?
Hell imagine if Atlus and NIS supported the PC.
The market seems perfect.
I bought it, but I didn't really like it. I didn't care for the story. It felt very subtle, confusing and unappealing. The game also felt kind of boring at times when it feels like you have nothing to do and just go around and try to open locked doors over and over. It's easy to get lost too, with two identical long corridors with doors to all the compartments where you spend most of your time.MrOogieBoogie said:
The parts I found most interesting in the game was the real time movements of the characters, the ongoing trip on the train and the clock you could turn back time with. Seeing all the passengers and their daily routine was kind of fun, but I didn't find the characters to be that interesting.

It just makes too much sense. Hopefully Care Fulgur inspires some to do the same.
I'm thinking of making a "games you want on PC" thread, but am worried about it being a trollfest.

Thanks for the advice. So they are all pretty hard? Don't have time or patience for that type of games these days. Wanted to comment every time i see your avatar, give the itches to play Baldur's but i just know i won't have the time. But want to sink my teeth in that game an rip its neck off.Minsc said:
With Merrick backing Minsc can't say no to Divine Divinity. Again thanks so much guys for your help.Joseph Merrick said:
Its 4 dollars my friend. Quick, arcade type action thats perfect for short lapses of play because of the generous and well segmented check points. A good trip back to simple times where aim and reflexes were put to the test and shooting was the reward in itself.Snuggler said:
Looks like we have the next candidate after finishing Painkiller.Minsc said:
Back in the day was a marvel. Now i don't think its easy to digest. Try the Syberias instead if you haven't done so already.MrOogieBoogie said:

Never even heard of it until now, and it's a Forgotten Realms game too. Doesn't seem like it got much love from reviewers though.
May 5th is the supposed launch of the new GOG downloader/site revisions, maybe we'll get a second game to go with it, seems very likely as there's still 1 more ? box left before The Witcher on May 10th, followed by The Witcher 2 pre-load!

So how the preorder for Witcher 2 is being handled? Put my preorder up but they just asked me for the user account. No monetary transaction was executed.
When will they want the deposit? And is the only confirmation of the preorder the acces to the extra stuff?

Ahh ok Snuggler, so some sort of advice will pop up after the 7th/10th to remind us? Was gonna look if there was a topic about it on the forums.Snuggler said:
Sh!t, at least GoG should have let us download the manual to get a head start
Wonder if i'll play something of Divine Divinity? Maybe the downloads for the free games shoul also be started a lot earlier, the wait for the game its hard my friends, really hard.

I know it sounds ridiculous, but I wouldn't mind seeing the Game Center GX Games translated and ported over.

Pretty damn good. Great atmosphere, interesting story, charming characters, tough puzzles. The sequel is good as well.

Personally I was underwhelmed. Gorgeous graphics but the puzzles are too simplistic and the writing of the side characters, especially the android sidekick who follows you around for half the game, was obnoxious. And maybe it's because I played it so soon after The Longest Journey, but the protagonist's arc wasn't very compelling.
