Nice to see a platform like GOG becoming so proactive these last 12 or so months (or, more so than they were previously)
With so many new initiatives (or in the case of the Dreamlist!) - re-imagined ones!
Dino Crisis and the sequel weren’t my kind of games, even being made specifically for modern hardware. I’m too young to have the nostalgia or patience for the so called ‘tank controls’ of the old days. But I still bought them to support the initiative. I’m just one of those poor fools waiting and hoping for a modern sleek remake, like the Resident Evil games were blessed with!
STILL, so nice to see this billboard in a prominent space! Nice work, GOG.
Yeah, same, for all of the same reasons as you. But it would be nice if they cleaned up their store page so it was better at conveying features, like Steam. Or if I didn’t have to go to SteamDB to see what DirectX or Visual C++ runtime I need to install with winetricks.
As a side note, if you use Lutris it has install scripts for pretty much all GoG games, which will take care of adding the necessary libraries via winetricks and you can use them for game installation even when not using Lutris’ support for direct dowload from GoG and instead installing from a local copy of the GoG offline installer for that game.
I’ve been buying obscure enough games that they didn’t have Lutris scripts available, and the Heroic interface works better with controllers besides.
I do so wish the GOGdb site acted in the same way as the Steam one did:
https://www.gogdb.org/
Instead, it runs in a different way making it far less helpful than, as you said, SteamDB!
