Explains why her face looked so different compared to Witcher 3 Ciri, I guess it’s the cost of tying voice actors to the game models.

John Linneman from digital foundry said the game reminded him of why he loves games after all the AAA slop and UE5 games they’ve been through. Up there in quality with the Mario games.

It wasn’t really a question in that sense. What I meant by that sentence is that the game is already planned to be removed (from sale), so Blizzard suing GOG wouldn’t make much sense. However that doesn’t mean that GOG/Blizzard can just take the game away from those who already purchased it.

(after they fled the Russian invasion).

Some of the developers stayed in Ukraine from what I’ve heard.

I think you might have replied to the wrong person

It’s developed primarily in Ukraine.

Games are constantly pulled from the Steam store, but that doesn’t result in owners losing access to the game, GOG is no different. The only thing that will happen is they stop selling the game, it’s standard practice.

GOG also offer offline installers that would be impossible for even GOG to take away from you.

A DRM free store that’s run by the CD Projekt Red guys. It focuses mainly on older games (Good Old Games) but it also got modern DRM free games such as Baldurs Gate 3.

If you’re buying an older game, it’s likely a better option than whatever steam offers as GOG will also try to fix old games that are broken on modern systems.

The game will be removed on 13. December?

However that can’t simply take away a game someone has already bought.

They claimed that it was expensive and was part of the reason for cyberpunk’s turbulent launch.

It’s a real shame though, most UE5 runs awful it seems, and are still limited by single thread performance, unlike RED Engine which scales far better with more CPU cores.

I’ll preface by saying I prefer Ghost Reveries and their later albums more than their older ones. I’m not all that into growling.

The first three songs falls flat on my first listen, §4 and §5 I found more interesting. The instrumental part of §6 were nice.

None of the songs stands out though, not sure if any of them will make into the gym playlist rotation.

A shame they didn’t explore further the style they tried with In Cauda Venenum, as a Norwegian I find Swedish vocals more interesting than English, though it could just be the novelty of it.

Not really. Just stay away from the capital/Oslo.

I’m the same with 1. I’d recommend trying out Black Mesa, it might be the best game remake ever made.

Better visuals and much faster/cheaper for the developer to make.

We are still in the infancy of the technology and the vast majority of games with ray tracing doesn’t fully utilise it as they must compromise to support normal raster, leading to half baked implementations on engines not designed with ray tracing in mind.

Ownership in terms distribution of digital software is a bit funky I guess, but from a consumers point of view, there’s really nothing GOG/game companies can do once you got the installer. You’re effectively owning the bits on your hard drive and there’s nothing they can do to control what you do with those bits. I guess from a lawyers perspective it may be different, but in practice there isn’t much.

I’m not sure what you’re getting at with the licenses though? A game licensed under MIT would be free to share, attribution shouldn’t be much of problem.

The vast majority of the bestsellers on steam either have normal DRM or DRM via being an online service. At least the bestsellers in 2023.

Put the installer on a USB stick and sell it. I assume you’ve never gone back to the electronics store where you bought your dishwasher and expected to sell your used dishwasher there.

Pathfinder also has fairly detailed difficulty settings panel, you can tailor the difficulty to your liking. Story mode difficulty and auto level up presets makes the game beatable for even your grandma, so you can ease into the system.

There are also some great guides out there for different builds for both companions and main character.

Graphics and voice acting, but only because they randomly stop speaking and go to pure text during dialogue. BG3 also doesn’t have Blackwater…

100% agree with the rest. I really hope Owlcat gets inspired by the more dynamic elements/environments from Larian’s games though.
