/svidya/ is a strict /v/ alternative for moderated vidya discussion. This Board wasn't intended to replace /v/ but to aid Anon's in having vidya discussions with zero shitposters. Thanks for adding /svidya/ to /v/'s recommended boards, Mark.

Holy shit, /svidya/ save us form /v/ shitposters.

Can we have a switch thread? I've been looking to leave Steam for a while, the time might be now considering the new "paid mods" thing.

Are there any good games on gog? So far i've only bought Dustforce DX.

I dumped that cancerous piece of crap several years ago now, back when they changed their EULA to try and force you to give up your right to a lawsuit.


2ffb3b No.15498

No idea about gog, I only pirate.

Also check out Raiden III.

Lots, but of course its library is nowhere the size of Steam


2fb07a No.15502

piracy

Gog

Desura

Humblebundle

Everything below humble is indie crap, playism being specifically jap.

Quite a few. Their library is much smaller than Steam's, but they've been doing some impressive IP wrangling recently.

>Star Wars: TIE Fighter

>Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb

>Star Wars: Y-Wing

>other old Lucasarts games that were before my time

In terms of personal recommendations:

>the free games you get for making an account, specifically Tyrian 2000 and Beneath a Steel Sky

>The Witcher series

>Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath

>Megabyte Punch! (currently on sale, I believe)

>Another World: 20th Anniversary Edition

>Enclave (weird third-person action adventure game from the guys who made Riddick before they made Riddick - has problems, but I greatly enjoyed playing it, and apparently the GoG version runs better than the Steam version)

>Total Overdose: A Gunslinger's Tale in Mexico

>Painkiller Black

>Papers, Please

>Planescape: Torment

>Deadly Premonition Director's Cut

>Duke Nukem 3D

Make sure you pay attention to their newsletters and big sales, too. Since I signed up, I've gotten Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout: Tactics, The Witcher 2, and a few others for free.

They also have a few free games and movies on the catalog, like Akalabeth: World of Doom, The Pirate Bay: Away From Keyboard, and The Art of Playing.

People like to give GoG shit because they used a pirate crack on one of their games, once, but they're overall a very good store. And you get game OSTs and other bonus stuff included with the game, whereas Steam charges you for that content and give you less of it.

GOG is having a sale right now, I was thinking of getting Dragon Commander since it looked fun from all the threads on /v/ back when it launched. I'll likely save the money and pirate it, maybe buy it later.

I think I'm going to double down on GOG and piracy from now on. The only thing Steam had going for it was some of the convenience, which was waning due to DRM. With DRM and paid mods, I see no reason to continue to buy from them.

Xseed is publishing on gog.

Whats everyones stance on GMG?

Personally I like it, they usually have pretty good sales, and their new VIP and daily 20% off deals are pretty good

>>15516

Thank god too, fuck, want to get TitS when it goes on sale. and the new YS game coming out

You know I can't believe people are actually defending this entire atrocity. I could understand if they implemented some sort of donation system to modders, but allowing them to put mods behind a paywall is absolutely abysmal. I was able to deal with the Steam market, the TF2 hats, the DLC, the worsening sales, the trading cards, EVERYTHING. But this mod stuff? Seriously. I can't fucking believe it.

It'd be like if I regular'd a pizza joint, and they offered extra toppings for free then suddenly stop allowing the free toppings and FORCE you to pay 2.99 or higher.

I couldn't even get past square 1 of DRM, which is coincidentally equal to if not greater a cancer than paid mods. It is anti consumer at its core and the definition of its entire existence.

>mfw Ori and the Blind forest is apparently on the "list of the 2% games drm free on steam" and I like sidescrollers

Is it a good game or not?


820627 No.15560

>>15557

[DELETE THIS]

What I meant to say is, is it a good game that would be worth pirating?


046bbd No.15566

>>15560

Yes, it's a very good platformer with a lot of exploration and a very nice art style. You wont regret it.


820627 No.15568

>>15566

Is there good combat?

>Humble Bundle

If it matters to anyone here, they're SJW. You can either just turn the humble tip to 0 or just stop buying if that doesn't fit with your tastes.

I haven't been following humble bundle with the crazy amount of bundles in quick succession, what happened with them?

Wow what a fucking coward.

Is Gamersgate (the online distribution store) worth purchasing non-DRM games for? GOG and Humblebundle don't nearly have the repertoire of games as Gamersgate does.


1ac715 No.15767

>>15705

Buy exclusively Humble Bundles without DRM and tip 0. It's the best approach to encouraging customer positive business practice.


1e2138 No.15768

>>15763

I would assume so if you're right about it having a bigger library than GOG.

In my experience in the legal system, those have never held up in any court, it's just a scare tactic to scare away people who don't do the barest amount of legal research.


820627 No.15796

>>15763

Don't they sell mostly steam keys though.


d1711e No.15810

>>15786

So by other words its just a anti-consumer practice.


1ab19e No.15819

Mount and Blade: Warband is worth buying


820627 No.15820

>>15819

Directly from Taleworlds website to get it DRM free.
