I like GOG more than Steam. I'm not forced to use a client. I don't have to cross my fingers every time I try to play a singleplayer game offline in the hopes that the game I'm running works offline.
This... so much this! I am in the Military, and over the last 12 months I have spent over half my time abroad, and a good chunk of the remaining time away on courses and exercises. All of this time away has been spent with little to no internet, and my trusty laptop at my side...
Almost a year ago I downloaded FFVII and FFVIII in the hopes of some nostalgia beating RPG action on my downtime on ops. I even took the official guides out with me in the hopes of finally 100%-ing them. Could I play them? Could I fuck. I was so dissapointed, especially as the weight of the guides also limited what else I could have taken out with me.
Luckily I had Baldurs Gate, Neverwinter Nights 2 and The Witcher from GOG to keep me going. Different type of games though... scratched a slightly different itch.
The only issue with GoG is that the review system is rendered slightly useless. The only people that seem to get the game, then bother to review it, are those looking through the rose tinted goggles of nostalgia. So many have perfect scores, it's crazy!
