They ruined Galaxy

It makes me not want to buy anything, the store is just so ugly and obnoxious and useless now

>>16365968

their storefront design is still terrible and they're awful about letting people know which games are being brought out and onto their store

that said, if it's on gog and steam I'll always prefer to buy via gog

>Descent for 40 fucking dollars

Why? Is it the three games bundled?

>Bloodstained

>Xenonauts 2

FUCKING WHEN

>>16366097

>Is it the three games bundled?

no, it's the new one that's gonna release sometime this year

>>16365968

They wasted their time with fucking Gwent while neglecting their online storefront and gaming platform, why they thought joining the online gacha cardgame market 6 years late was a good idea. And for fuck's sake, they need to clean up their goddamn store.

>>16365968

They're honestly the best place to buy PC games. They lack all the garbage that steam gets inundated with on a daily basis and aren't owned by bugmen like Epic.

>>16365968

Is Atom RPG worth buying?

Finally. Can't wait to pirate them.

>>16366637

why the fuck is that gog guy writing a business mail with pseudonym

>storefront that has lots of old games should make their storefront look more visually modern

but that ruins the joke

>>16366712

>should make their storefront look more visually modern

they literally blew a fuckload of money on doing this last year or '17, I forgot which. Their current storefront is modern, it's just terrible in terms of search functionality, instead of screenshots trying to play videos when you hover over a game icon in store, etc

>>16367020

I hadn't actually checked it beforehand, I thought it was old looking but yeah it's pretty weird looking. It's ok I guess just like you said, searching is awkward.

>>16367020

The new site is slow as fuck compared to the older one too.

>>16365968

It's a store for fuck's sake, all they have to do in order to be good is sell stuff. With every other store being just a Steam key reseller they don't have any competition in their niche either.

>>16366146

> And for fuck's sake, they need to clean up their goddamn store.

I swear, there has to be a maximum-IQ requirement for web design and if you are intelligent enough to make a website that is not shit you get thrown out of the company. I used to think that web design must be dreadful, but I found that if you don't go out of your way to intentionally make your design shit, that it's actually quite a decent field. It's like these people enjoy fighting their own tools. Or maybe they just keep fucking up the design so they can remain employed forever to keep everything from falling apart.

Too bad they are ran by SJWs.

>company lays off employees

>company's dead guys

Nigger they're the same company that made The Witcher 3 and they're releasing Cyberpunk later this year. If anything they probably just cut the fat for a project they were working on. I saw the paranoia about GOG going away as just people reading into something that's fairly mundane in reality since companies lay off employees all the time. See: EA lays off most of its dev staff after every vidya because they just drain payroll and they mostly hire new devs and lay them off.

Diablo was an extremely influential game, but in retrospect it's very shallow. Pretty much every competent Diablo clone was better than Diablo itself.

>>16366602

Sure worth more than FO4.

>>16369835

THAT atmosphere tho.

>>16365968

Yeah them firing a couple of people while hiring twice as many new ones in the same time frame really brought them close to the edge.

>>16365968

Their catalog page is now broken for some people. Nobody knows how or why, even someone with chrome may be incapable of browsing any games.

>>16369835

Diablo 1 is very much worth playing as a real time somewhat simplified roguelike

Diablo 2 is just a mess

>>16369835

In terms of the combat system and skill trees and shit it was a pioneer, but yes so many years allows developers to add more to it and add ridiculous, if not bloated amounts of depth and complexity.

Plus it ensured pretty much every skill was very unique from one another.

Diablo clones tend to have many same-y spells or skills that wear thin very quickly.

Plus as

>>16369858

says. Pretty much no Diablo clone accomplishes its grimdark tone and atmosphere. The music, aesthetic (with gothic influences), dialogue, quests, lore and world, characters, overall story are very nice.

People like to meme that Diablo has no story. They've clearly never played 1 and played it thoroughly.

>>16365968

Owned and operated by SJWs. It is shit.

>>16370514

I literally finished it today and feel like I do need to point out that the atmosphere is best on the first five floors. It gets worse as the game progresses. The music on floor 15 was a joke.

I went to check them the other day, the youtube video loading on hover shit is fucking awful. Seems like they are in fact not good at their job.

>>16370784

Meh, fair enough I suppose.

It's my favorite store, but their storefront has been made into fucking garbage that's impossible to browse on Palemoon. Galaxy is shit, but only faggots use launchers for Native PC games.
