Out of curiosity in that D&D bundle are they including the enhanced editions of the Baldurs Gate series?

 

[jdw_b]

Haven't played any Witcher games. Is it worth playing 2? It's only £2(!)

It appears not; it's pointedly describing it as the 'classic editions'.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Is it bad I'm more willing to pay full price because I'm too lazy to have my games split between more than one distribution platform?

Yes, also worth playing 1.

With Gog you can just save the game to a USB and bring/install it anywhere, at that point you don't even need to log-in anywhere to play it. Just add it to Steam as a Non-Steam game if you want.

I'm too lazy to hunt down a USB to do an install.

Do the GOG editions of the goldbox games have the copy protection cracked differently than years ago? Any other changes/bugfixes? I have the some of the gold boz games set up in Dfend reloaded already...had them for years...? I still have my 5.25"/3.5" boxed copies also.

Honestly I think I still have the Amiga version of PoR setup somewhere also...

All games on GOG are DRM free.

 

[iceblade997]

Get The Witcher 3 if you don't have it already and enjoy big, meaty RPG's. It's taken forever but I am finally putting major time into the game and every time I play it I come away a little more impressed with the whole package.

In fact I am sitting here at work this morning wishing I was back home playing The Witcher 3 right now. When I stopped to go to bed last night I was in the middle of a major questline that was playing out to be pretty incredible and I want to see what happens next.

Did you play through the first two?

Gosh Planescape Torment is finally on sale... Really tempted but I won't be playing it for a LONG time to come yet... Decisions decisions...

 

[TheSeks]

Damn at that D&D bundle.

This. Thinking of getting B. Gate 1/2, Neverwinter 1/2, and Planescape. That'd be ~$7-11 which isn't anything to sneeze at for those on GoG.

 

[erpg]

In for Star Trek. I was surprised they didn't show up in the Fall sale, but I guess this is why.

 

[mikeGFG]

Fuck the Witcher

all dem D&D games doe

They're modded so that when they ask for the code wheel password, you can just hit enter and continue, regardless of what you enter. I'm not aware of any other changes having played through Pool of Radiance recently.

 

[Xplatformer]

- you like good combat mechanics

Thanks. You saved me $30.

I was wondering about the combat. I HATED Witcher 1 and 2 combat.

Add in the Icewind Dale games. They're really fun if you don't mind a weaker story.

 

[Tregard]

Is it worth getting Witcher 3 on PS4? Is it smooth enough? I could get it on either that or PC and it's slightly cheaper on Zavvi UK for PS4, but not sure about the differences.

 

[Bl@de]

Well you could buy Witcher 3 for 30€ ...

or...

buy all the cRPGs in a bundle and be done with new releases until ... forever....

Don't tempt me Gold Box bundle

 

[The Shadow]

reasons not to buy the witcher 3
- you already own it
- you have bad taste
- you're hitler

Eh. I want to, but I'm a little unsure. I really liked The Witcher a lot, but was bored and disappointed with The Witcher 2.

As a friendly reminder for those buying DOS games, make sure aspect ratio correction is on, and unless you're into pixel smoothing, or using an older system, use graphics mode OpenGLnb with scaling set to none (OpenGLnb will automatically scale accordingly).

Incorrect

Correct

 

[SpaceHorror]

That Star Trek bundle is tempting.

 

[Zeeman]

How are the adventure games in the Star Trek bundle? I don't really trust GOG reviews.

 

[Adry9]

Insane deal

 

[Karl Hawk]

Don't listen them. While it doesn't compare to the likes of Dragon's Dogma or Soulsborne, the combat in Witcher 3 is still adequate

Thank you for this because I have a shit ton of DOS games and occasionally accidentally stumble over the correct settings after futzing with the config file but I never remember how.

They're some of the best Trek games ever, but you need to read the manual first, since there are no tutorials because they were made in the early 1990s.

I liked them. Episodic in structure well before 'episodic gaming' was a real thing, giving a nice flavour of the TV show, and a fun lives/scoring system (each mission has one 'redshirt', who will die in your place if you screw up; bonus points, of course, if they live). That said, the ship combat really doesn't work all that well.

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Just got Planescape. Thanks for the heads up!

Sad that the witcher 3 expansion pass is not on sale though.

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

I guess this makes up for a lot of "old versions" of games that had remakes on gog not going on sale during the fall sale.

 

[Lux R7]

[iNvid02]

ridonkulous amount of value, buy it, play it, love it.

 

[Karl Hawk]

Thanks for saving someone from playing an awesome game, I guess

 

[RespectThySole]

Try it for yourself. I enjoyed the combat.

 

[Vlaphor]

For some reason, whenever I try to do Dosbox full screen, GOG or no, I get an imaged stretched outside the screen. I've messed with tons of setting and have made it worse, but never better. I usually just go windowed.

 

[Lux R7]

Thanks for saving someone from playing an awesome game, I guess

someone can't get past the combat ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

btw, i think he can google some reviews without just blindly trust me. It's ok.

 

[Nzyme32]

It's not on sale, but everyone should buy Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb. It challenges even today's tomb raider games.

 

[sprinkles]

The is no "The Next Generation - A Final Unity" in that Star Trek bundle. Even worse, it isn't even available on GOG! What a shame..

 

[Chris R]

I'm will buy it one day, but I still need to play/beat Witcher 1/2

 

[ilium]

The D&D bundle is insane.

 

[Teletraan1]

Don't listen to those degenerates. While it doesn't compare to the likes of Dragon's Dogma or Soulsborne, the combat in Witcher 3 is still adequate

If they didn't like the second game's combat they won't like the third game. The combat is not for everyone. It is not for me. I play them in spite of the mediocre combat because I like exploring these worlds. I cringed every time I have to fight something though, especially early on after playing a game with decent combat. It is mitigated later in the game when you level up but the first few hours were a complete slog because of the combat for me. Warning someone of a like mind does not make them a degenerate. Unless degenerate is some reference from the game, then I guess I can go plow myself.

 

[TC McQueen]

I imagine they're working on the rights for that, but Star Trek is a rights nightmare right now due to the Paramount/CBS split, plus whatever's going on the game side of stuff.

 

[Saty]

Game is $26.6 on the Mexican Origin store right now. Use VPN. Sure, it's Origin but it's cheaper!

 

[King_Moc]

Their standard price for Witcher 3 was over $75!?

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Good deal on D&D pack

 

[Hamster Plugin]

Took only 7 months for Witcher 3 to go cheaper than a retail copy of the game. Man, what a joke digital prices are in Europe.

 

[The Shadow]

I'm will buy it one day, but I still need to play/beat Witcher 1/2

The Witcher is $1.49 and The Witcher 2 is $2.99. If you don't already own them, now's the time to catch up.

 

[bill.cosby]

I actually already own it on PS4 but the performance was not to my liking. PC version it is! Even bad taste hitler would double dip on this one

 

[tebunker]

And Witcher 3 will be ~$25 or less in a couple of days for any console platform. There will be good reason to wait if you prefer to play on a console. Just saying.

This isn't the best price.

I am more with the others in that if you can swing it get the D&D games.

 

[TheExhaustedWalrus]

Lawd, gimmie dat Planescape. Its time has finally come.

 

[KojiKnight]

This only further reminds me that there isn't a Star Trek game as good as FTL and that makees me kind of sad... Seriously, someone get on this already!
