Go for the bum, Dogmatix! Go for the buuuuuum!

Asterix & Obelix XXL 2 remastered is now available DRM-free, 10% off until December 6th, 2PM UTC.

Our beloved Gauls, whose only fear is having the sky fall on their heads, return in a rip-roaring action/adventure for the (p)ages. Play as both Asterix and Obelix as you hilariously tear through Caesar's amusement park Las Vegum looking for the runaway druid Getafix.

gamesfreak64: Seems i was right....its good to see so many games arrive here but at the same time its also sad good old games arrive less frequently and games that do arrive are usally fpp/3pp, shooters or other good old 3d games , there is a shortage of good old 2d games ( no platformers, racing or other 3d looking stuff ofcourse there are plenty already)

Anyway, the few games i can play and like are usually HOG games and or Wadjet Eye games(or similar) that arrive sofar its tons of new games ...

vadalma18: So you can play only 2D games without flashy effects? Sorry to hear/read that.
thanks but no need to feel sorry, it wont kill me :D but it isnt pleasant either :D thats why i know my limitations, it does save me some money ٩◔‿◔۶ otherwise i would have had >2200 games at GOG and steam right now , this 'limitation' saved me on 3/4 of games ( and euros) especially since 2016, good old games arrived less ( ones that did arrive were among the " games to avoid" .

Anyway i gues 1/4 ( 1 quarter) of the old games that arrived might be on my shelves, maybe even less, i also had to hide about 200 games so if i remove that from the poor 1/4 it leaves little to nothing, i was new at GOG and i bought and bought like a kid in ac andy store, sinsce 2016 i started to look for demos on the internet which are rare cause they dont want to risk people not buying a game, afteral there is refund , isnt there? ( its also limited to a % of the total games one has ofcourse it is not unlimited)
Thats why i i'm having doubts and reservations regarding games i dont have a demo off.

Leaves me roughly with 300 games that are not hidden , meaning games i like and can and will play.
Same goes for steam and gamersgate i have at least 70 GG games and steam games i regret buying, all because i was new to it and bought anything that had a nice screenshot.
Today i know better.

Nicole28: For a small moment, I thought GOG was selling the comics, before I remembered that this is a gaming store. :D

But I sure would love to have a digital version of the whole comic set!
i dont know for sure but i thought they released some special hard covered books with a few stories in it, or maybe i am confusing them with the Suske & Wiske (Bob & Bobette) Finn och Fiffi, Lucius Et Lucia and so on ....

Amazon sells the complete collection : "The Complete Asterix (34 Volumes) Paperback"

Anyone who played it in 2005, is it any worth?








(S.P.Q.R. = Sono Pazzi Questi Romani)
WOW, I remember playing these and it was great.

What about Asterix & Obelix XXL 1? It seems strange starting with the second one....

gamesfreak64: Bud Spencer & Terence Hill - Slaps And Beans
avatar
park_84: lol
This is the first time I've heard of it and to my surprise it actually looks very good, I was really expecting the worst.
well some die hard beat em up fans complain about some minor things:

not compatibe with all gamepads , missing extra powermoves and they compair the simple spencer hill fighting with real martial arts games like double dragon tekken and more, they forget bud and terence are no martial arts masters, so the limited punching is correct for the setting imho.

Anyway i have bought it at sale for old time sakes ( also have a few dvd movies) being an oldtimer i grew up with the oldtimers among the actors like stallone, schwarzenegger, kurt russel , jackie chan, chuck norris, john wayne, james stewart, roger more, sean connery and all the old and some actors tha passed away recently : like bud spencer (2016) and roger moore (2017), Tony Curtis (2010)
and the list goes on.
Younger actors ( 50 plus) Jet Li, Dolf Lundgren,Tom Cruise, Steven Seagal, Antonio Banderas and more 50 plus( of age) actors from The Expendables.
I just realised i haven't played an Asterix game since the 16bit days...

As a fan who grew up reading the comics i will definately get this at some point.

Wishlisted for now. Thanks gog!

*cough*Dan Dare*cough*

It's still nice to see Asterix here though.
i don't know about this but i still play asterix mega madness. that is one awesome game.
I remember playing an Asterix beat'em up in the arcades, back in 1991? I feel like Geriatrix/Agecanonix...

Great release gog! Definitely an unexpected surprise to see an Asterix and Obelix game released here :D

Btw, hard to believe, but Albert Uderzo is actually still going strong at 91 years of age!
When I read that first sentence (including brackets), I thought you had to be South African and then ... lo and behold!

I never read superhero comics, but I've read all the Asterix and Tintin ones,

I think just about every library had full Tintin and Asterix&Obelix sets, but I'm pretty sure a lot of other countries did as well :)

On average I must've read each book Tintin and Asterix book at least 5 times if not more. I was seriously hooked on it in primary school :P

Can confirm this. :)

I've only recently heard of this from a friend in Germany who is very excited about this release. That said, it does look quite nice. :)
