Erickson: Look, I can understand removing reviews that gave the game a score of 1 and not giving reasons as to why. But plenty of the scores DO express their disapproval of the online requirements. GOG did later clarify their statement, but the damage was already done.
The month of October is going to be filled with excitement as the Hitman franchise is commemorating its 25 years of being in the business.
It’s the 25th anniversary this year?
I’d have assumed it would have gotten something like a remastered trilogy of the original games or a remake of the first game. Something for a 25th celebration.
Super lacklustre
Cultured Vultures: With the World of Assassination Trilogy wrapped up, here's our thoughts on the best and the worst in the series.
From PSU: "Ten years ago, the Hitman franchise was in a transitory state. Blood Money had become something of a classic and with Hitman Absolution there was a clear decision to push IO Interactive’s assassination sim series to a whole new level. That experimental, often divisive, entry turned out to be pivotal in what would follow.
Elements of Absolution, such as its accessibility and player-created content, would be mixed with the more traditional Hitman games’ sense of murderous creativity to birth the Hitman Trilogy 0f 2016-2021. A series that would take its creators on a turbulent journey of publisher changes, independence, and the eventual triumph of being handed the tantalizing 007 license."
This is a year old...
I dont get this at all. This has nothing to do with CD project red.
They should have had a warning on the store page, but that is as far as cd project's accountability goes. They sold the game itself drm free, as they do. They have no control over the other shit. That is on IO interactive. But again, they should have had a warning on the store page.
GoG isn't in the wrong here.
The game, itself, is DRM free.
It's the dev/publisher tying mechanics behind an online model.
How deeply do you want GoG to vet their titles? Is it their job to know the ins and outs of every title that comes through? Do they need to do monthly check ups on every game they allow on the service to see if their model changed?
I mean, they already go above and beyond every other storefront when it comes to what they allow on the store. Now we're holding them accountable for elements had on the developer's end?
I'd never heard of GOG. Anyone use them to buy games? Any good?
