Anyone picking up Wolfenstein The Old Blood? Should be a good dose of shoot 'em up for 20 euro.

Anyone trying GOG Galaxy?
If it's proper old-school, it's a day one purchase for me.
Unfortunately it's being developed by the people that made the TH Ride games, and THPS HD. Also, I'm not sure I like the sound of this;
Yeah, that bit sounds quite awful.
Wouldn't surprise me if extra power ups are available as micro-transactions.
Yeh ill be buying it probably. Loved the tony hawk games.
Hadn't thought of that. You're probably right.
No no no no, THPS 1 2 and 3... the rest were just shit.
Waiting all day for The Witcher 2 to download, about 48% there.
Feck sake. Not even really a fan of these kind of games but it seems well loved.

Never played any Witcher games. What other games do they play similarly to?
Western RPG, so Skyrim and such, I guess. I've never played any either, but it was sitting in my GOG account for ages, got it for free when you could log in every day and collect a token towards it.
EDIT: I have the old Dungeon Keeper game there too, and Beneath A Steel Sky is amongst their free games, both need to be played too.
Ah right, cool.
I've heard quite a few people talk about Beneath A Steel Sky before. Never played it but it looks pretty cool.
Are The Witcher games lore/story heavy? Never played 1 & 2 since they were Xbox exclusive but 3 is coming out on PS4 and it looks cool but I'm guessing I'd be lost with plot and characters.
They have good stories, especially the second game. They don't have companions thought, you're solo for the entire games.
Yep. You can easily get the story of the second game without playing the first one. Only some small references you won't get, but then again, the same can be said for the first one (there are references to the books).
I would recommend to play both of them, but I don't think that either of them is really great. The first one has a slightly better gameplay, the second one is better in every other aspect (story, graphics, no need to spend countless hours in grinding etc). If you play only one of them, then go for the second.
Cheers! I have the 2nd one. I can always go back to the first later.
Played a bit of this, very interesting, really like it. Story quickly becomes very good. I sucked at the tutorials so, so bad.
I've only just reached the prologue though, something tells me it's going to be a tad long....

The second game isn't that long as far as I can remember. 30-35 hours or so. The first game is twice as long.
I couldn't get into it personally, might be more enjoyable for those who played the original series.
Ah right. I might check it out but when it's even cheaper then.
It's garbage.
If you can, play original Thief and sequel, Theif: The Metal Age, those are divine.
I'll be a lot longer than 3 hours, still in Flotsam, ffs on easy and two bastard ghosts just handed my arse to me.
Thief and Thief 2, are brilliant, 3 is kinda crap. The new one is proper rubbish, apparently?
I was massively disappointed in it. Dumbed down, too linear, terrible terrible story,...Dishonoured was much better (still far from original Thieves).
Olly, have you played System Shock 2? It is an old game (1998() but it is definitely one of the best stealth games of all time (probably second only to original Deus Ex). I mentioned it on an steam thread, but for the next 5 hours you can get in on Humble Bundle for 89 cents.
Thanks, I shall check those two out instead, then
If I'm thinking of the right game then I think I played it a year or two ago, but I got stuck in a hole and gave up
I'll give it another go some time for sure.Thanks, I shall check those two out instead, then
Fan support for them is still going strong, so, if it happens that you like them, really should try some fan missions as well. Fantastic stuff there as well.
Cool stuff, will do
I tried the demo the other day on PS4, and while I agree it isn't as good as Dishonoured, I still thought it shoed some promise - enough for me to think about buying it if I see it on sale.
A Kickstarter for a new Castlevania type game from Koji Igarashi has just been launched - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iga/bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night
It is rather cheesetasticThat may be the cheesiest video I've ever seen!
A thread on NeoGaf about backlogs just inspired me to count mine. From the ones I've just seen, I own 103 games that I've never played a single second of

Ugh, don't! I have at least that many from the 90's alone
Count yours! And list them allUgh, don't! I have at least that many from the 90's alone

I swear one day I will! I get asked about it loads, but I'm not a true collector in terms of cataloguing and deliberately buying, I'm just a huge gamer who has never sold a game or hardware I've owned (bar my psp and a spare Gameboy). I have it stored all over, one day I'll get it all in one place
