I was quite sad when The Suffering series gotten delisted. I partly felt they might get remastered. Which kinda would make sense for the delisting. These were essentially Silent Hill games set in Maryland. The Suffering was a horror game people still remembers from it's era. I actually had this game on PS2 a long time ago. This truly deserved to stay on GOG. There's a few endings you can go for. Some impressive creature designs as well. It was mind blowing the stuff they allowed in this. Maybe also due to the fact Midway Games was on the verge going under. Somehow The Suffering turned out as great it was.

The Suffering - an AWESOME Game with a capital letter! One of my favorite survival/horror games of all time! It comes with the original story (I do not know a single other game with such a cool plot); a lot of guns and munitions that not only work differently but also feel completely different and that is a cool feature; sound design is also - a strong part of the game (of course when it work; sometimes it bug out because of a lack of optimizations for modern OSs); enemies are different and scary most of the time. All I mentioned before is pure "fun" and when I say "fun" (in this case) I mean pure EVIL in its way. Absolutely gorgeous game, but because of its age, The Suffering is not great for modern Hardware and Software (OSs). That is why a Remake/Remaster - is much needed nowadays, so gamers can play their favorite Horror game on modern PCs.

I have played this game when I was kid, but unfortunately I couldn't complete it back then because of how scary it was. It is a pity it's not available nowadays. Plays a lot on nostalgic feeling to me.

Seeing this and its sequel get de-listed from the store last year was heartbreaking. Sure, I bought my copies, but what about the people who are just now discovering this franchise and the brutal third-person action horror it offered? Fingers crossed that Warner figures out there's still a market for this game, and brings it back, either in its original form or a remastered version.

This is one of the first OG games that I actually went out and spent a lot of time trying to find a physical copy. I found the physical copy but I don’t want to use it so please save this game.

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
