Vote to bring this game to GOG and help preserve it.7 066
Even though it's not an RTS game like its older previous entries, Syndicate is noteworthy for its developer. Before the staff jumped over to MachineGames and its current iteration decided to milk Payday for all its worth, Starbreeze was the king of narrative-driven FPS games. This...wasn't their best title, but it was interesting and still holds that Starbreeze DNA that would carry on over to Indiana Jones and Wolfenstein. It's, sadly, currently delisted, but deserves to be preserved, even if it isn't the best game.
The game is literally unplayable because EA SecuROM implementation bricked the .exe and configurations. Also, Vsync enable caused MouseLag and many issues that is mentioned in PCGamingWiki.
It's...bad! If GOG is gonna brought this game here, I hope they polished it up.
Everything about this game connects with me unlike any other. It has a vibe that's unique and it absorbes you.
It has slow motion, it has hacking, you can shoot the gun sideways, papapapap, and switch to pum pum pum with a scope and shoot trough walls, every gun has an interesting secondary mode like that.
The game incentivizes the player to combine every mechanic to do combos and these mechanics build on top of each other to great success.
Hard mode is a must to get the best experience.
To have this game on GOG is to give every people like me but couldn't, get the chance to play it.
I had hundreds of hours into this game because of the coop. My dad and I played through all of the missions on normal, hard, and even two of them on very hard. Lots of good memories and would love to play it with him again if it can be released here with the coop mode intact.
It's an amazing game that I have played a lot on Xbox 360 with an intense gameplay and deep narrative and now, it has simply vanished from all the marketplaces...
please, make it happen! :D
The game is ass, but the opening mission is extremely good and should be experienced by everyone. Sci-Fi would that they created, plus the imaginative weapons makes this worth playing.
It's clear they ran out of budget by the end.
OK i know this was NOT the reboot people expected for the old cyberpunk RTS franchise of Syndicate... We went from puzzle-rts to first person shooter...
And yes, when i played it back in the days, i felt the story a bit cliché and predictable, but it did not matter because the global mood and atmosphere of the game and its universe were cool enough; the shooting was mindlessly and shamelessly satisfactory, and the boss fights were amazing afaic...
I remember having been super hyped up by the trailers and even though i knew i wouldn't get a "old syndicate" game reboot, i was counting the days from trailer to official release... Got the game for cheap too, and i played it like there were no tomorrow ! Until i completed it... and i had fun all the time (even if a couple of moments were tricky and frustrating.
Sure, later on we would get Deus Ex Human Revolution, but the stealthy stuff in that one, though good enough, was imposing a slower pace to the game... While Syndicate just delivered mindless action-packed fun without downtime or slow-pacing. Syndicate was an adrenaline trip with cool gadgets and tense boss fights; i wouldn't ask for more than that...
Would obviously replay it, especially if it were to become DRM free !
The only reason i want this game here so i can played without banging my head in EA launcher
it works and don't work at all all the tips & tricks don't help at all.
I hope GOG can fix the bug so i can play this game a lone or with my friends in Co-Op mode!
MediEvilMediEvil is an action-adventure game developed by SCE Cambridge Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. Originally released in 1998 for the PlayStation, the game follows Sir Daniel Fortesque, a skeletal knight accidentally resurrected to battle the sorcerer Zarok and save the kingdom of Gallowmere.
The game takes place across a variety of levels, many of which require certain objectives to be performed to progress. Sir Daniel Fortesque can use a variety of weapons, consisting of close range weapons such as swords and clubs to long range weapons such as crossbows. Many of these weapons can be charged for a powerful attack and some weapons, such as the club, can be used to access areas that are otherwise inaccessible. When not possessing any items, Dan is able to rip his own arm off and use it for both melee and ranged attacks. Dan can equip a shield alongside weapons to defend against attacks; though they can only take several hits of damage before breaking. Throughout the game, Dan can visit gargoyle heads of two varieties; green ones offer Dan information while blue ones allow Dan to buy services or ammunition by using the treasures he finds.
Dan's health is determined by a single health bar, which reduces when Dan is hit. It will deplete completely if Dan drowns or falls from a great height. If Dan completely runs out of health, the game will end. Dan can extend his maximum health by collecting Life Bottles, which will automatically refill his health bar if it drops to zero. Also hidden throughout the game are Life Vials and Life Fountains that can replenish Dan's health and fill up any empty Life Bottles Dan has. In each level, there is a hidden Chalice of Souls, which can be collected if the player fills it with enough souls from defeated enemies (some Chalices are awarded via other means). If the player clears a level with a Chalice in hand, Dan is warped to the Hall of Heroes, where he can speak to a legendary hero who will give him rewards, such as weapons. If the player finishes the game with all the Chalices, the game's true ending is revealed.Action Comedy Horror

MechWarrior 2: The Titanium TrilogyThe Titanium Trilogy is the re-release of all MechWarrior 2 games for Windows 95, rebalanced and fully textured.
XanaduIn Legend of Xanadu, the player controls a young adventurer named Areios. Monsters attack his homeland, and he is forced to flee. After traveling by ship and arriving at the town Bolda, Areios finds out that strange things have been happening in the North Cave near the town. His first mission will be to venture to the North Cave and investigate the matter. Of course, soon Areios finds himself involved in a battle against sinister forces, and commences the longest and most dangerous adventure of his life!
The game is an action RPG set in the Dragon Slayer universe, with a gameplay style similar to Falcom's other popular series, Ys. Controlling Areios, the player explores the top-down world, visiting towns and fighting monsters in vast outdoor areas and dungeons. Like in Ys series, it is sufficient to "bump" into a monster in order to inflict damage. Areios gains hit points and becomes stronger by sustaining damage from enemies and resting. His weapons and armor can gain experience and level up. In many areas, companions will join Areios and help him in combat, controlled by the computer AI.
The game is divided into chapters; the final stage of each chapter is a side-scrolling/platform level, which Areios has to navigate in order to reach the boss enemy, defeat him, and end the chapter. In such stages, the combat turns into a more familiar action-oriented style, with the player being required to press buttons in time in order to execute attacks and jump.
There is a day/night cycle in the game, manifested not only in graphical changes, but also in the schedules of townspeople: when it's dark, people will return to their homes and go to sleep, etc.Open world Action Fantasy Historical Sandbox Survival

SorcerianSorcerian is a side-scrolling action-RPG. The player can create up to ten characters, from whom up to four members can be present in a party at the same time. Each character is highly customizable, with four different classes/races (fighter, wizard, elf, and dwarf) and over 60 possible jobs/occupations (ranging from clown to exorcist) available for them to perform; each has its own strengths and weaknesses, affecting the seven primary attributes (strength, intelligence, protection, magic resistance, vitality, dexterity, and karma) in different ways, as well as different equipment limitations.
The player can choose from fifteen different scenarios, or quests, to play through in the order of their choice. The party must battle enemies and perform tasks within the given levels to clear each scenario, before moving onto another scenario of their choice. The player controls the entire party at the same time, with all four members running in a line, jumping in sequence, and attacking in unison. The party members follow behind in a manner similar to the Options in the arcade shooter Gradius (1985). Sorcerian also employs class-based puzzles, such as using a high-strength character to force open doors.
All the characters have a default starting age of 16. Each time a player begins a new scenario, a year passes by, while additional time passes by in towns as a character goes through training or enchants items. The characters age at different rates depending on their race, with humans reaching old age at 60, dwarves at 100, and elves at 200. Upon reaching old age, for every year that passes, a character can die permanently at a random time. There is also an “Advance Time” to speed up the flow of time. Another new feature of Sorcerian was its episodic format that extended across various expansion packs. Besides the default fifteen scenarios that come with the game, there were a number of additional scenario packs released. The aging system was created with the additional scenario packs in mind.Action Fantasy Historical Sandbox

Overall there are many weapons that the player can carry including grenades of various sorts and other types of explosives. In addition, there are numerous amounts of mounted weapons found throughout the game.

Some weapons appear in the console version but not the PC version, and vice-versa.Action
DiscworldDiscworld is a game released for PC (subsequently Mac, and Playstation) by Teeny Weeny / Perfect 10 studios in 1995. The game was released both on floppy disk and CD-Rom. The latter featured a commentary team created of many veterans of famous Brit-Coms. This included Monty Python's Eric Idle, Radio 4's (later to be more famous) Rob Brydon, ex- Doctor Who John Pertwee, 70s pop singer Kate Robbins, and Blackadder star Tony Robinson. The game is a riff on the Discworld title 'Guards, Guards', however many elements of the text have been shifted, not least the inclusion of Rincewind as protagonist.
The game featured puzzles which were considered far too difficult and obtuse for gamers of the time, but the game itself has had a lasting legacy, now being accepted into such emulators as SCUMMVM.Fantasy Historical Comedy
