2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

There's also a new GOG Dreamlist, where you can vote for your favorite games of yesteryear to get the same treatment. If I might nudge you to the search box and vote for some of the following, you'd have my thanks:

  • 007: Agent Under Fire
  • Burnout before Paradise
  • Metal Arms: Glitch in the System
  • SoulCalibur 1-5
  • TimeSplitters 1-3

Burnout 3 on PC would be a dream. It's one of the reasons I still keep my 360 around.

Soul Calibur 2 running natively on modern PCs would be a dream come true.

TimeSplitters for sure

If we're making requests I'd like to add some of my own wishes as well:

I was hoping for this after the Resident Evil bundle from a few months ago.

The way Dino Crisis 2 managed to turn the tankiness of the RE/Dino Crisis gameplay into an action-packed shooter is stunning to me and I love that game dearly. Replayed it last year and it holds up surprisingly well!

Now let's hope for a Pararisite Eve GOG release! :D

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Parasite Eve is a Square Enix IP, so it's possible it could get a PC port, but I wouldn't count on it going to GOG. They're almost as bad as Nintendo when it comes to hoarding their IPs.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Oh damn, I don't know why I thought it was a Capcom IP. Thanks for reminding me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Make Parasite Eve but with the turn based gameplay of "Yakuza:Like a Dragon"

Thank you, GOG, again!

Oh man, this is a dream come true.

2 was such a blast I probably rented the game from my local movie rental chain enough to actually buy the game.

Especially hot after the newest Ninja Gaiden 2 release. It's almost a lost art having games with such a pure focus on action. It's like a Michael Bay movie, you're not watching/playing for the story, you're playing for the adrenaline rush.

We had a store just around the corner, where I used to live with a friend, we could rent 2 PS1 games for a month for $30 and since we would burn thru both of the games in a week usually we could return them and get 2 more for what the tax would be. Great times and my last console
