GOG Galaxy Will Finally Receive Cloud Saves and Other Features

CD Projekt’s digital distribution platform GOG Galaxy will soon leave beta and update to version 1.2. Normally, such an event would not be cause for celebration, but the update’s prominent features, including much-awaited cloud saves, beg to differ.

CD Projekt touts GOG Galaxy as a rival to bigger digital distribution platforms, including Steam, Origin, and Uplay. Unlike those platforms, games offered through GOG Galaxy are DRM-free (i.e., players don’t actually have to download the GOG Galaxy client to play games they purchase on the GOG website) and come with numerous extras. For example, people who buy The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on Steam or Origin also receive artwork, the game soundtrack, a digital art book, premium wallpapers, and a digital map of the game world. The GOG Galaxy version of The Witcher 3 offers all of the above in addition to papercraft toys, a compendium of The Witcher universe, HD Videos, avatars, and a digital comic book. While Galaxy’s extras might tempt some gamers, the platform currently lacks various features some PC gamers find necessary, such as cloud saves. However, GOG Galaxy version 1.2 aims to rectify this problem.

The highlight of GOG Galaxy version 1.2 is its universal cloud saves. Most Steam, Origin, and Uplay games come with cloud save functionality, but many older games, such as the Legacy of Kain franchise and Shadow Man, and some modern titles, including Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition, lack this feature. CD Projekt promises that GOG Galaxy’s cloud service will apply to all games available on the platform, without exception. Yes, even games that predate the internet.

GOG Galaxy 1.2 will also provide various smaller features, some of which are not available in other digital distribution platforms. These features include but are not limited to:

  • An in-game overlay
  • A bandwidth limiter and scheduler to decrease download speeds when gamers want to download or upload more pertinent files
  • A new chat service
  • A screenshot capture function
  • Desktop notifications
  • The ability to know the rarity of various achievements
  • An FPS counter
  • A new settings window
  • A hibernation mode that limits GOG Galaxy’s CPU usage when idle or during gameplay
  • The ability to activate and deactivate various features to customize each player’s experience

The GOG Galaxy version 1.2 update is scheduled to launch sometime in April.

All you have to do to get my attention is talk about video games, technology, anime, and/or Dungeons & Dragons - also people in spandex fighting rubber suited monsters.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
