I was always curious to find out how much crappy it would have been, and now I can xD
 
Dungeons 2 in the end seems not so bad as the reviews I read before... I almost like it, the animations and the graphics are well made, and the narrator is funny.
It just is a little too slow, but seems to me it was made on purpose, seems like they wanted to make a Dungeon Keeper for children.

see that is problematic to me. they hyped it a lot and I think most of the criticism stems from the overhyping of a game that turned out to be like a childrens game instead of a worthy DK successor.

I just finished the main campaign of D2, and I must admit that not only I felt at home with this game, but it is superior in many ways to DK !! :confused:
I'll never be able to go back to DK after seeing how damn incredibly smart the workers are in D2 !! Despite how much work I gave to them, they always knew when to change priority... I never lost a dying unit like happened constantly in both DK games, because workers always came in time to bring the corpse to bed !! And the same for constructing traps and all... I'm without words... for the entire campaign I had the sensation they where actually reading my mind !! After selecting something "urgent" to dig or whatever, in DK I always had to throw some worker there, but not in this game, because they were always doing the right thing at the right time !! Damn, I never even slapped them, they didn't deserved that at all !! xD

Also I think that the impression I had at the beginning, about the "children game" was because of the "Harry Potter"-like soundtrack and the narrator... that can become a little boring sometimes, but it does a lot of puns that maybe "children" can not understand...

I'm a slow player, I need to construct and upgrade everything before attacking, and this game is great for this type of play, there's also a "timed" mission where you are warned that if you don't kill some people in time, they will crush you with a combined army... and still I survived the fight and the game continued... sooo coool

It is just missing first person view from DK, but mainly all the rest is there, heavily upgraded, especially the AI ... well, maybe the game is a little short (the same fault as War for the Overworld), and maybe a little too easy, but I happily got all the DLCs...
now that I played it, it is even more difficult for me to understand all the criticism I see around

Guys, St. Patrick's Sale at GOG. You can test your luck by buying a mystery game for $3.

Being the hopeless idiot that I am, I took the plunge and got O.R.B.: Off-World Resource Base. Yay, just the game I needed for when I want to play something like Homeworld, but not as good.
 
Or you can end whit something, you need a 10 times faster PC for..
All of my GOG Games work on the GPD Win, expect of Motoracer 3 (Screen Orientation Issues) and Saints Row 2 (there is no PC in this World where this works)
But Saints Row was free, and Moto Racer was quite unexpensive..
 
Hey guys, I took the plunge on a mystery game again and got Star Trek: Starfleet Academy. The ratings are great, but the screenshots are terrible. Guess I shouldn't judge a book by its cover though.

I also bought Age of Wonders directly to give myself the satisfaction of one reasonable purchase today.
 
Oh, GOG is a gambling site again for a while.
I wonder whether that's legal with them not being a casino or something similar.

Well, the pinatas stars hats are quite useless for Linux users anyway since many of those games are not multi-platform and last time I tried, whatever I got was cheaper on sale before.
 
I'mma get one hat. It costs less than a lotto ticket and has a much higher expected payout.
Got Creatures. My sister loved that game back in the day. I wonder if I can gift it instead. Probably not.

If you write to support, you can let it be converted into a gift code.
 
Today I tried installing my Worms 2 that I purchased from GOG a while back and it kept crashing. So I checked around, and apparently it doesn't work on Windows 10 yet. Not even listed among the operating systems on the game page. Whoops. Got Worms Armageddon on my wishlist now, which does list Windows 10 as one of its supported operating systems.

To be fair to GOG though, I even had problems getting Worms Reloaded to work at first on Steam, IIRC. Something about the audio not playing until I did some fixes. This could just be a Team17 issue more than anything.
 
Well, just did a quick check. With the Windows 10 filter selected, only 130 of the 143 games in my GOG library are displayed. With all Windows versions selected, all 143 games are displayed. I guess that means Windows 10 is at ten out of eleven or 91% compatibility with Windows games. :p
