I bought Fallout 2 being excited to play it, paid money directly to this shitty company, and I can't download the game because their servers are POS's that won't let anyone behind a university proxy get the game.

Fuck you CD Projeckt. The Witcher sucks and so does this site.

It's a beta man, you're here to help with that kind of shit. Shoot them an email with the details.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #2 on:** September 10, 2008, 05:15:54 PM »

I don't consider giving them $6.00 and I wait a few days to get anything from that very fair for a beta.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #3 on:** September 10, 2008, 05:22:22 PM »

I don't even really care about that, I just hate how it's going on five hours now and support STILL hasn't gotten back to me.

Is this legal? I thought Freespace 2 was freeware?

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #5 on:** September 10, 2008, 05:27:36 PM »

This is why I'm waiting for the actual site to launch.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #6 on:** September 10, 2008, 05:30:28 PM »

You made the correct choice.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #7 on:** September 10, 2008, 05:33:47 PM »

How isnt it legal? It's a legit company offering it.

Uh, no. I'm saying the whole enterprise looks shady, that is all.

Quote from: Kotaku

GOG.com has already lined up agreements with such publishers as Interplay and Codemasters to make their games available on the site.

Seems legit to me.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #10 on:** September 10, 2008, 06:59:15 PM »

Interplay probably gave up the rights to those games for food.

muckhole · « **Reply #11 on:** September 10, 2008, 07:01:40 PM »

That's terrible.

originalz · « **Reply #12 on:** September 10, 2008, 08:22:16 PM »

Yeah, that's strange, hopefully they'll respond to your problem soon. I know a few people who downloaded games through them, installed flawlessly. If anything, your problems will help them solve the problem for future customers.

It's not illegal or shady you bumfucks

i just downloaded giants really quick. cry more.

Mrbob · « **Reply #15 on:** September 11, 2008, 11:42:27 AM »

This website rocks! They have

Shogo

I'm getting some games right now! Sucks you can't get into them but this is like a PC gamers virtual console!

Mrbob · « **Reply #16 on:** September 11, 2008, 01:27:16 PM »

Man I forgot how awesome old school interplay was.

Eric P · « **Reply #17 on:** September 11, 2008, 01:53:16 PM »

i gave my email address but i didn't get anything granting me access.

Mrbob · « **Reply #18 on:** September 11, 2008, 02:05:53 PM »

They will probably send you access eventually.

It took three days after it launched for me to get my access code.

Getting Giants right now! Planet Moon's finest game.

To anyone that's tried it, how's Fallout 2 on the service? I realize they recoded it or some shit for new hardware/OS'.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #20 on:** September 11, 2008, 06:00:42 PM »

They emailed me back saying they found the solution...

but didn't fucking tell me the solution.

Don't buy from this shitty service.

JustinP · « **Reply #21 on:** September 11, 2008, 06:30:47 PM »

why don't you blame your shitty university firewall? it's obviously blocking things it shouldn't. you're holding gog.com responsible for this? moron.

Don't listen to this man. His shitty school firewall is the problem.

The website is awesome. You can rate all the games they have available, and write some reviews ala amazon on each game page. The account setup for each game is great. It automatically links you to all the threads talking about the games, some games have access to soundtrack mp3s. Easy to use setup and easy to see what games you have. I've been able to attach all the fallout mods from NMA with zero issues. Can't wait till they get

NOLF and NOLF2

2 and I will get those!

Because a site should let you know in advance that it doesn't work before taking your money and running with it.

originalz · « **Reply #24 on:** September 12, 2008, 01:42:38 AM »

I mean, I know it sucks losing money and all, but it's only $6. I doubt your life is going to be so much worse without those extra $6.

Just calm down and wait, they're probably dealing with a bunch of issues now and will get back to you once a proper solution has been fixed. They told you they found the problem, so they're likely going to try and fix it for you and future users.

Although if the content of your complaint emails is similar to the tone of your posts, I wouldn't be surprised if you found yourself waiting a little longer than necessary.

meh, just DL'd the entire library from demonoid

thanks though

once you get those, it's easy enough to hack the resolution to "modern" resolutions and to 16:10 or 16:9 monitors (for correct hud and weapon rendering). I just recently played through NOLF2 AGAIN and it still rocks hard

trippingmartian · « **Reply #27 on:** September 12, 2008, 09:04:24 AM »

Bought Fallout for $5.99 and got Fallout 2 for free! The downloads took no time at all, either.

Eric P · « **Reply #28 on:** September 12, 2008, 10:13:49 AM »

is there a way to run those in a higher res?

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #29 on:** September 23, 2008, 04:35:04 PM »

Picked up Fallout Tactics and Conquest of the New World today. Downloading is easy and fast and I really love how much extra stuff you can get as well, even though I probably won't bother downloading anything other than the soundtracks. Still, it's nice to see them putting out that extra effort.

I really hope they get Normality up there soon, because I really want to play it again.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #30 on:** September 23, 2008, 04:41:57 PM »

Anyone have the log in link? Everytime I go to GOG.Com I get that lame beta front page

It's a known flaw in their design. If you don't save cookies then you'll always hit the beta page and have to reenter your Email address and code to log in. If you do it too many times the code expires and you have to Email them to reactivate it.

Then we'd just lose them!

I'm tempted to buy Fallout 1,2, and Tactics even though I don't have the time to play them.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #36 on:** September 23, 2008, 11:22:38 PM »

You shoulda bought them when they came out!
