  • I agree. I know you’re getting downvoted, but these slight graphical upgrades don’t really justify an entire new re-release. I was actually hoping for something like they did with the Halo enhanced editions, allowing you to switch between the new shiny graphics and the original graphics. They could certainly keep the same engine and game feel, but to make a big deal about what could have essentially been a mod to the original game seems disingenuous on their part.







  • I haven’t had a GOG game yet that doesn’t run using the Heroic Launcher. Game save syncing does work mostly, but only for games running under Proton. Native games won’t sync saves without scripting work on your part.

    The one problem I’ve had and haven’t seen mentioned on this thread yet is that GOG games installed through Heroic and then launched through the Steam game mode can be so slow. Like, launching No Man’s Sky could take 5 to 10 minutes spinning on the Steam logo before actually launching. I heard one person online say it could be due to Heroic not setting up pre-compiled resources on first launch? I dunno. I’d be open to suggestions.



  • i really love how seriously you’re analyzing this. i mean that unironically. the internet is a weird place and i love it.

    that said, i don’t think despair is the opposite of hope. in fact, i think despair can drive a kind of wild and panicked hope.
