… go and buy your partner a Portal Gun. He or she will love it.
Modern warfare often resembles playing a video game. You lock on an enemy, fire a missile and wait for confirmation that it hit the target. You do not meet your foe directly; it is not an eye-to-eye duel between two knights. You may even not be physically present on the battlefield, piloting a remotely controlled military drone instead. This level of technological sophistication may have a dehumanizing effect on the way combat situations are being perceived, making it easy to forget about the actual human cost of what is going on during a battle.
Some time ago I managed to beat the final boss in “Puzzle Quest 2″, thus finishing the game. Just like the previous instalment, it is a mix of a puzzle game and a simple RPG title where every fight or event like opening a closed door or picking a lock is portrayed as a puzzle solving problem. This time, however, instead of travelling all over Etheria, you dive deeper and deeper into dungeons below an ancient citadel located near the small town of Verloren. I am not going to get into the game’s plot as it is completely irrelevant and unworthy of mentioning.
So, what do you do when something goes wrong and your customers do not get the value they have been promised? You react instantly and admit the problem exists:
Despite GOG’s prerelease testing process, it’s apparent that Moto Racer 2 has some serious gameplay issues due to the remains of copy protection left over from back in the day. This specific issue is caused by copy protection remaining in the game we’ve distributed; it’s not caused by conflicts with specific hardware or software setups. This affects everyone’s game, and that’s a problem.
