It looks like we can remove Alpha Protocol from the list. :) The game reappeared on GOG after being for years in publishing limbo: https://www.gog.com/en/game/alpha_protocol. And yes, the game is available only there. It’ll probably stay this way for a longer period of time. The price isn’t low...

Keep in mind that it’s nothing extremely complicated, especially if you compare it to 4X computer games. It offers a lot of strategic depth though. The best thing you could do is to check it out by playing the board version. You can also try it for two hours on Steam, but from my experience this...

Some people are very excited recently about the Dune Imperium computer game. It's an adaptation of table-top strategic game. The original is very good. I had the pleasure to play it a few times. People who played the computer version say that it's almost 1:1 adaptation. Too bad that the player...

I've found a series of videos on YouTube where someone plays Tiberian Sun in tremendous quality while keeping very good assets size: View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V5uegQ1tpI&list=PLnCGGadjNmJzdoq13GeVHrdc9h1M2z_Zu&index=2 The game here looks almost as if the assets were remade in...

I recently stumbled across a mod that remakes the entire Orc campaign from Warcraft 2 on Warcraft 3: Reforged engine. It's called Warcraft: Chronicles of the Second War and looks very professional. The mod features cut-scenes, voice acting, new map art on loading screens and other assets that...

You're joking right? :D Tell me you're joking... ;)

They should invest more money into story and quality quests. Starfield shows more or less that Bethesda is at least a few years behind modern standards in this aspect. Also they should scrap Creation Engine and prepare a new one with all those fancy graphical features that games now have. Or...

I've decided to tinker a little with the files from the newest Tiberian Sun re-release. It appears that the game uses a modified version of DDraw wrapper that is used to make Rogue Spear (and some other games) working on modern hardware. This allowed me to add a parameter that forces the game to...

Actually they did. Not sure about C&C4, which relies on network infrastructure, but Tiberian Sun works without EA launcher. Only Steam required. I suppose that this applies to every other C&C game from the package (apart from the mentioned C&C4).

Big surprise! EA released classic C&C games on Steam as a part of bigger package that includes all non-remastered C&C franchise. What more Tiberian Sun from this package works like a charm straight out of the box and doesn't require any fan made patches or dgVoodoo 2 tinkering. It also supports...

That's the future Matrix Architect! I'm sure! :D

I joined the hype train and bought the game. I have around 7 hours of play time and at this moment it seems the game is better than D4 (apart from the server problems that is). The character development system is much bigger and complex, enemies are more unique in terms of look and from what...

The price isn't surprising no matter how bad we think it is. Elden Ring was a huge success and both the publisher and the developer would be stupid if they did nothing to take advantage from this situation. It's a normal market practice.

Actually they were on big sales a few years ago. I bought Dark Souls 3 with all DLCs for around 15 euro. It was not long before Dark Souls stopped to get any discounts at all. Also you could buy Elden Ring at a lower price during at least one big sale in the last year. Dark Souls games also...

Yeah, I know that there are good alternatives to system reinstall. I've never done this before, so it might be a good idea to make an experimental cloning before the main one. Maybe I'll do it one day. :)
