As many people know, GOG stands for Good Old Games. A rival digital distribution platform to Steam.

We can ascertain that they possess a larger number of older games, especially '90s hits, compared to Steam.

In your opinion, what are the best GOG titles (that aren't on Steam)? I collect retro games and want to know if I'm missing out on anything special.

(On Steam, I already have classics such as Deus Ex, FF7, Postal, System Shock 2, Urban Chaos, etc....)

Blech, why do developers insist on shoehorning in QTEs??

Really? Fahrenheit is one long QTE. The problems with it's end-game are with the direction the plot takes - they had to wind the game up, so took some narrative leaps.

Dungeon Keeper 2 is great from gog but only for single player, you have to jump through so many hoops to make the multiplayer work, so far on 4 machines its only worked on 2.

Fahrenheit is not just bad, it's utterly awful, seeing how much people appreciate a story so stupid and basic is almost painful... I'm really saddened by the fact that I live on a generation of people with such low "standards" of what a good story is... The same goes for Heavy Rain and especially for Beyond: Two Souls people really need to start watching better movies and reading better books so they can really appreciate good stories and not all this cheap amateur writing crap.

I still have my original discs for all of them, but only Screamer of the three on GOG. For some reason though, GOG used the lower resolution executable. There was another for better computers and that seems to be missing from their release.

I remember seeing POD in late 1996 or early 1997 on a roadshow. They had 32" TV (which was monstrous size then), and MMX200 rig running this game. I was awestruck with those graphics.
It was kinda Crysis of 1996 in terms of graphical fidelity. Which is quite funny today :)

it has been in steam? when did this happen and what happened to those who bought it

It was a pre-order bonus for Rayman Origins, so it wasn't removed from Steam. That was the only way to ever get it on Steam, and people who got it still have it.

If you can find a tradeable Rayman Origins Pre-order, you can still get Rayman 2 on Steam.

I never liked Rayman 1 for the PS1, I remember I thought it looked extremely childish and I pretty much hated all the visual style and stuff... Rayman 2 on the other hand, it's pretty fucking good, I like it a lot.

Why isn't the 4th one on Steam?

10 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

Because the 4th game was co-developed by both Revolution Software & Sumo Digital.
The regular devs of the Broken Sword series, Revolution Software, cannot offer tech support for the 4th game alone.

Definitely Planescape: Torment, Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy) and Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magic Obscura. Without these games, your life is probably meaningless...
