It's great, a Half-Life 2 style FPS adventure with its own twists. It's not a classic like the games it apes (but probably more fun, if more limited, than Bioshock), you can call it derivative, generic, cheesy, but it's still damn good, especially since such FPS campaigns are barely done nowadays (and Raven is a COD DLC factory).

Raven may never make the best shooters of a generation, but theyre always fun and well designed shooters that fall just short of true greatness. Singularity is very much like that.Singularity™

Just figured I would mention this to people if you own the GOTY edition on GOG.
You can download the most up to date version of the game as an Offline installer backup from your library off of GOG from the website its self which is pretty self explanatory but:
You can also download the backup from GOG Galaxy which I completely forgot how to do and it was basically like a convoluted maze:
So inside GOG Galaxy click on the GOG.COM tab under Games, click on a game you own, You should now see in the top center of the GOG Galaxy screenlike this
Click on the . . . button
Followed by clicking on the Extras button
Scroll all the way to the fucking bottom (Unless you have a giant monitor)
Ta Da
Then you can click the purple arrow to download the offline backup installer for your owned games
I know that you can just do it super easy off the website but it annoyed the shit out of me that I couldn't for the life of me remember offhand how to do it through GOG Galaxy and i knew you could but yeah I didnt remember it being that stupid, anyways
Since the Updated version of Witcher 3 will automagically update etc if you own it on GOG you can in theory have a old version still unlike on Steam unless they change their mind or whatever
Thought it might be helpful

Pretty sure Lashman linked them all as they got announced on steam but they're all coming out on GOG as well. Pretty cool that SNEG/GOG is sort of ramping up releasing older titles like that when it felt like stuff like that was pretty "Stagnate" for a long time.
I mean I know you can always just go all over the internet and download stuff but actually having it in one place collected together and easily downloading it and a bunch of other reasons makes it so much easier

Fairly certain this is a new thing so you'd want to most likely opt out (Don't know why you'd not) but this got turned on for some reason for a lot of people when grabbing giveaways since subscribing was a requirement but I never saw this pop up

One I always kind of wondered what the hell the difference between the "new" versions of Fallout and Fallout Classic were and since I had amazon prime I was claiming them anyways I finally actually spent the time trying to figure it out and came to the conclusion that I have no idea!
My rudimentary looking into it basically came to the conclusion that:
Essentially the non classic versions which are the only ones you can still purchase or get for free from PRIME come with just a manual and are updated to the latest and greatest patch. While the old "CLASSIC" versions not available anymore were an older non patched version that came bundled with a bunch of extra cool stuff (I think it's cool at least, like the soundtrack, even a bonus mission!).
Unfortunately you can't buy them anymore so it's just the new ones now

I thought it was pretty cool when I saw the announcement of them teaming up for streaming for stuff
However their actual forum got them a ton of hate, the main article goes over stuff a lot more

They differ by Extras and Mac versions according to if it was Interplay or Bethesda that sold them.
Wonder if one of the wikis has a definitive answer? hmmm.

This is correct. For example, the old Interplay Fallout 2 version has Win and Mac clients and these extras
The newer Bethesda version only has a Windows client and these extras

They're basically doing some "updates" to fairly popular games to make sure they play on say modern computers etc, but seemingly a lot of the updates are just sort of meaningless in the grand scheme of things if you actually look at all of the change logs. I mean it's great to be honest though that they're still actually paying attention to things in their entire catalogue as opposed to just the latest and greatest so I won't really complain too much
There's specifics on what was improved for each game in the corresponding articles on their big named ones though!
Overall I think it's great and glad they're going for this

I read it somewhere? that if you run into issues with the discount code not working for your selected currency/region just to change your currency? and apply the code again or something to that effect it's just finicky or something for how it's working but it should work for most everywhere
Glad I found this thread!

I fixed that, lol
I'll go over the rest of thing but to be honest It probably needs some sprucing up I haven't taken a good look at it in a few years
Songs of Conquest
Songs of Conquest is a turn-based strategy game inspired by 90s classics. Lead powerful
Cool, looks like it's decent enough as a game and if it clicks for you it's a good time. Neat.

I can't see how Code Veronica X is in the "Our Pick" section unless Capcom have a port coming soon since there hasn’t been a PC version in the past. Not my favorite RE but glad there's a pc version now.

Majesty Gold HD was only € 2,59 so I bought it and it's still fun. Must have been 20+ years ago since I played that, so lots of nostalgia. The voice lines of the heroes are still fun and the main announcer sounds like Sean Connery. Not sure how long I will play it but I had a fun evening with it and definitely going to try some more levels.

Hey everyone,
Today, GOG has been acquired from CD PROJEKT by our original co-founder, Michał Kiciński (also a co-founder of CD PROJEKT).
We know announcements like this often come with a bunch of reasonable questions, so here’s the straightforward version.
What does NOT change:
- GOG stays DRM-free
- GOG GALAXY remains optional
- The mission stays the same: Making Games Live Forever. We’ll keep games playable over time, revive classics properly, and stick to gamer-friendly policies
About CD PROJEKT games: We’ll also continue our close cooperation with CD PROJEKT, and their upcoming titles will remain available on GOG."
there's a FAQ and so on in the link. Let's hope this will mean good things and nothing bad for gog.

The "Preserved by GOG" stamp isn't a finish line. It's a promise.
When a game joins the GOG Preservation Program, we commit to maintaining it – not just fixing what's broken and moving on, but keeping it in the best possible shape for as long as we're around. That means revisiting games, making new improvements, and treating preservation as an ongoing responsibility rather than a one-time task.
Today, four Warhammer classics already in the Program are getting exactly that treatment: Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate, Final Liberation: Warhammer Epic 40,000, Warhammer 40,000: Rites of War, and Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat.
The GOG versions of these titles continue to be the best versions available anywhere. As an example, Chaos Gate, Rites of War, and Final Liberation now have achievements support. Full changelogs for all four are on their store pages.
The best way to see what's changed is to jump in and play. Hope you enjoy – and thank you for your continued support of our mission
Yours truly,
The GOG Team
Steam got a bunch of the old Warhammer games today but the ones on GoG didn't get left out and they updated them with achievements, and as of this post they're sort of getting updated in the backend or whatever to properly display the changes to show they now have achievements now for the storepages and in the client

I can understand if this is down to some navel-gazing shortsightedness and not some genuine Nazi shit, but it's still a massive fuckup.
I can see why they thought that maybe people wouldnt care, because well seeing how damn widespread actual nazis are.
Some people are very stupid.
I think regardless of how intentional or not this is, it's good to kick off to remind the world at every opportunity that there's zero tolerance of Nazis.
