Interesting. My experience differed quite a lot, for example Gabriel Knight 3 was almost impossible to get running, and when it finally worked it was lagging as hell.Gabriel Knight 2 had it’s aspect ratios all over the place, it often switched to stretched after a cut scene, I found no fix for it online. The other one I tried was Realms of the Haunting, and it worked great until I reached the tower. From this point on it crashed every few minutes.
Sucks for retro systems. Without the steam client you can’t install, for example, Zanzarrah, which is pretty hard to get running on a modern PC, but runs flawlessly on a XP machine. What to do? Download illegal copies?
Steam should maintain at least legacy systems or make the installer available for download.
The problem is the launcher. He does not want one.
Offline installers are the reason I only use my money on gog. I like to have control over the things I own, though it’s getting harder and harder these days. But where it’s still possible I use it, and gog is the only storefront that offers this service (which beats every other service I could think of).
If you want to have even more fun press “T” for entering a message and type “gear”. Repeat that fifty times and save your game.
This extends your slow motion meter so that you can have two minute long fights in bullet time. You will feel like in a good old John Woo Hong Kong action movie! Pure fun!
1 was advertised as a spiritual successor of System Shock 2, but it only got the atmosphere right. It was just another shooter which disappointed me. 2 was the same more or less. 3 had a fascinating story, but it was still just a shooter. Maybe 4th time will become what I crave for, another immersive sim!
And I thought about one month ago all hope was lost.
And here we are. Nothing guaranteed, but hope restored!
The Dopefish. Many used it over the years, and most have at least seen it.
Absolutely. Why pay more if less is good enough?
They are open about it, and give the option to get more RAM if you want it. Fine by me.
No one with a 4k monitor will by them anyway.
This really is crazy. I paid around 110 € for 32 GB DDR5 in late 2023, today the exact same RAM is 550 €.
