That's nice but the ambidextrous design seems to have put the throttle control at a very awkward position. Regardless, it's also out of my price range :( How is Logitech Extreme 3D Pro I wonder.. You could get that with the separate hands on throttle, but that would double the price :dead: You …

Entirety of my playtime in the last month has been on Lichess.org I should go back to playing Freespace 2 at some point, but it's such a fucking chore with a gamepad.. Are there any decent and affordable flight sticks/ joysticks in the market? Some time ago I was looking for a joystick precisely …

Hello. I have a question about Far Cry. In the latest official Far Cry patch there is a bug - enemies can see player through the tents (military / medic). Though player is hidden inside, they see precisely where he is and shoot through. This bug was absent in version 1.0. Is there an official or …

Another broken release, has the same problem with DEP that Diablo did (before they patched it based on some hex-editing advice that someone posted on their forum). It's crazy that their official "fix" for this problem is just to disable DEP - this is a multiplayer game with very poor data …

Once someone inevitably tries this one on Win XP let me know does this install and work without issues, I wish GOG would still test their games on XP. Enhanced version works fine on Windows XP but ironically not the bundled classic version that works with battle.net did not work out of the box on …

Warcraft: Orcs and Humans and Warcraft II Battle.net Edition have landed on GOG: https://www.gog.com/game/warcraft_bundle First one uses DOSBox and the sequel is like Diablo earlier, native windows support with an option to choose between original and enhanced.

Was the GOG version ever DOSBox? I seem to remember downloading it years ago and it being for DOSBox, but maybe I'm mistaken. Might have an old download of it on another computer that's not together. If I think of it, I'll see if I can check. They have repackaged some their games from DOSBox to …

Are they getting away with doing this DRM-free? In a moment of weakness, I bought the Starcraft remaster, but I still haven't even downloaded it. My retro fleet does not have teh internetz, and I really don't feel the need to change that so my games can utter affirmations to Blizzard once a month. …

I'll get it once you get it near free, I absolutely love Diablo II but I can't play this one. It's the one click = one hit combat system, I'd rather not destroy my mouse not to mention my finger. Still glad this in finally at GOG, if/when the rest of old Blizzard games end up there I will get them …

And the fourth episode of Ultimate Doom is done, way quicker than I expected. Turned out the levels after the first two were much easier and also pretty short, I think I finished one of them in 10 minutes or so even though I was playing them the first time and strived to kill and find everything. …

Done three levels + secret level in the fourth episode of Doom. It's not as difficult as I feared, but I'm not particularly enjoying it. It's the levels, they are somewhat annoying by design and looks like the Quake Brownness™ got its first test drive here. I'm still going to finish the episode so I …

Finished the original three episodes of Doom and started the fourth "expansion" episode on ultra violence. Two levels in and it's NASTY, Barons everywhere and often very little room to move. But has been manageable so far, so I'm glad I decided to continue playing on ultra violence. Have to save …
Re: List the PC games that you have beaten
Posted on 2019-01-22, 13:16
Original Doom for the first time in a decade or so, ultra violence difficulty of course and using Doomsday source port. The granddaddy of FPS games stills holds up incredibly well and I had a blast playing it, though I still do prefer Knee-Deep in the Dead over the two other episodes. I just like …
Re: Are newer AMD cards bad for backwards compatibility?
Posted on 2019-01-17, 10:23
I was told that that AMD cards cannot force VSync in DX9 titles, is that true? You can't force vsync on for DirectX games through the driver control panel (unless they have changed it recently), but I'm pretty sure you can force it on with a third party tool. You can force it on for OpenGL games …

Hopefully, I have a different experience than you. I'm playing on Easy and all the characters are on auto AI to hopefully mitigate things. There's only a handful of games I DNF'd since I started replaying (mostly) old classics back at the beginning of 2016: Eye of the Beholder Fallout Worlds of …

Tested my free SuperNintendo console. My brother gave it to me a couple of month's ago, and it has been sitting in the closet. Then yesterday I recieved the composit A/V cable that I had ordered for cheap. The reason for the cheap cable, was that I needed to get a cheap way of testing if the …

Fair enough. ;) Out of curiosity, what are some of your favorite RPGs besides Planescape Torment? Quick and dirty top list, games with RPG elements (Deus Ex, System Shock 2 etc) not included. 1. Fallout 2 2. Planescape: Torment 3. Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer (expansion for NWN2) 4. …
