Not Jabba Posted May 19, 2016 Grabbed it this morning as soon as I saw it. It's about time! 0 Share this post Link to post
Quasar Posted May 19, 2016 Note that the original DOS version is included with this build, as an extra bonus. You can find it in an included zip file. You'll need to combine it with DOSBox on your own in order to play it. 0 Share this post Link to post

I've had the original game for some time, and haven't noticed any major problems in that source port. 0 Share this post Link to post
Gez Posted May 19, 2016 The biggest issue with Strife in ZDoom is that the "Bloodbath" skill setting works too much like Doom's "Nightmare", which makes even getting out of the first room really hard. If you don't play in Bloodbath, then there are a few minor differences between ZDoom and vanilla Strife but nothing gamebreaking: mostly it's stuff like the "entering <area>" messages not being displayed after a hub transition, or IIRC some really obscure bit about the trajectory of blood splats or bullet puffs. 0 Share this post Link to post
Nordevai Posted May 20, 2016 This is great! I've been waiting for this for awhile. Any Idea on how long the sale is going to last? 0 Share this post Link to post

CODOR Posted May 23, 2016 I said:I'll buy Strife a second time if Veteran's Edition ever shows up on GOG.com... Done. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jon Posted May 23, 2016 CODOR said:Done. I'm tempted to re-buy this out of principle too, but I haven't played thru my Steam copy yet; most of the time the Steam DRM is not a problem for me right now, and afaics the data portion via Steam is not modified so I could build a DRM-free version from source if I chose to. 0 Share this post Link to post
plums Posted May 23, 2016 Bought. TBH I don't even care too much about Strife, but now that it's available legally and without DRM, I felt a certain obligation to get it. Good job Quasar & co. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ossi Posted May 23, 2016 Bought this the instant it was released. GOG is great. 0 Share this post Link to post
cybdmn Posted May 24, 2016 I have Strife as a retail package in my collection since ages, but never really finished it. After i bought the Veteran Edition i played a lot at the weekend. At the moment i have done something i had not expected. Spoiler Killed Macil. Can't wait to find time to see the rest of the game. Everybody involved in this have done a great job. 0 Share this post Link to post

Jon Posted June 2, 2016 I wonder when/if this will be covered by the new Gog Connect service, which lets you convert Steam purchased games into DRM-free GOG ones. 0 Share this post Link to post

Only NDS could answer whether they have any intention of participating in that. My gut tells me probably not, though. 0 Share this post Link to post
