How could you be certain such a copy of the game hadn't been tampered with. It could contain malware, ransomeware, etc. No way I'd take a risk like that for just a few bucks.
How can you be sure with any software?

GOG Fall Sale Heads Up
#9557 posted by primal (nli) on 2016/11/04 07:52:02
GOG has a sale until November 13. They currently have pretty decent discounts for the older Unreal and FEAR games, and the not so old Metro games. Other interesting or classic games may get deals too during the sale.
Some of these discounts may go away in a few hours. If this sale is like the previous ones, they will show up again before it is over. So, check again on November 13 before the end of the sale.

No useful details but fuck me the style of the mechs look so cool. Tentative HYPU.

The concept art is great. Here is more work by the artist behind those lovely pictures.

They've got art direction covered. Hopefully we will see details about the gameplay and design soon.

Nice! Looks like some kind of uchrony a la Crimson Skies with mechs instead of planes (speaking of, I miss that game badly!). Interest piqued.

Played it recently. Metros really are good games. Proper atmosphere and style.

I think I may get The Witcher for $1.49 just to have a non Steam version. I might even play it again.
Other than turn-based, I don't like 3rd person games much, but I remember that one as being pretty good.
Deathwing Pre-order Here Too.

F.E.A.R. Platinum for $2.49 is a good deal. It doesn't go on sale often. The two addons are only average, but the original game was excellent and worth the price alone.

Partway through Titanfall2 SP. It's a quite haphazard and gimmicky (i.e. some of the levels are obviously set-up training / preparation for MP, sometimes the progression skips weirdly ahead).
But.... It looks stunning, the lighting/fog/background effects etc etc are some of the best I've ever seen, it seems to run great maxed out on a 970M, the large scale scenery is spectacular and varied (some inside bits are a bit dull), the gameplay mechanics are good fun (and pretty interesting in the less artificial places) with enough variety from pilot and mech, and having the titan as your friend is nice.
As far as modern interactive-movie COD-shooter AAAAAA+ hype games go....it seems pretty damn fun to me.

Titanfall 2 SP is great yah. Just for my personal tastes, it automatically gets some demerits as an FPS for having weapons that are (almost) just all about being hitscan bullet-hoses, but the movement is funtimes and I really like the way that different missions each have a different new "gimmick" mechanic to put a twist on how the basic mechanics interact.
(Some podcast I heard recently claimed that Respawn had an internal game jam where multiple small groups each tried to figure out how to do a fun Titanfall SP campaign. In the end, instead of picking one idea to go ahead with, they used almost all of the ideas and just put them into different missions. No idea how true that actually is but it feels right.)
There's not much of your classic swiss-cheese map exploring, but a lot of different ways to bounce around inside a given space.
So there are significant things about it that are not terribly Quake-y but I enjoy it in other aspects. One of the best SP shooter campaigns in years I think. It's a shame the SP is so short in length, but on the other hand I guess there's no wasted padding.
