I mean, you can take it either way really. If you look at Epic's roadmap for their store, it has quite a lot of features planned just for 2019. GOG 2.0 hasn't even launched yet. imo, it's nice to at least have the launcher while they work on adding more features, rather than waiting for any access at all.
Have fun not playing a lot of great games because you are a toxic spoiled breed of gamers. I have a 15 year Steam badge and most PC gamers really don't care they will just play were the great games are. If a exclusive Launches on GOG or Steam or Epic it does not matter.
have ya guys seen that new one (at least i think its new) where they tell ya to bounce 2 animals until the "outside" animal is facing the right way up (not as easy as it sounds)... its like 10 per set or something...screw one up and its back to the start.... i gave up after flunking 4 times (went through 40 of them !!) and its not like if ya screw up ya restart...but instead ya gotta go through the entire set then it tells ya which ones is wrong and ya have to restart... what an evil system
@@flexican5399 Even in this unreleased states, you have a vast amount of oppotunities to restructre, filter and add proper customizationstools in order to have it ur way, litterally, which is not the case for any other platformn yet and again its NON-released so more is expected to come in order to be even higher customizable.
always ben rooting for GOG and now i have a reson to switch for good. My issue was that i have about 400 games on steam and alot spred around all over the place but mainly used steam. Now i can switch over to GOG more easly and also give developers of game some extra support compared to what steam do.
The biggest issue I have here is, I like to use a controller, especially in anything that's third person action/hack and slash (which seem to be my favorite games these days). My favorite controller also happens to be the DS4. Steam has amazing controller integration so I can just use my DS4 on any game, I don't have to worry about the games' support for various controllers. I also have been using the steam link quite a bit, which is also extremely convenient when I want to play on the TV for a console-like experience. I do love that GOG is doing this and I'll probably use it for when I play on my desktop. I just wish steam had this since they have so many other awesome features as well. P.S. I know you can add games to steam, but going through and doing it one at a time is rather obnoxious, and I haven't tried adding games from Origin/Blizzard/GoG so I don't even know if that works or not.
there are third party programms for controller integration, personally I use scp toolkit, works like a champ, you need to know the xbox layout, but that's not a problem
I have been using this a couple weeks. It's really cool have all my PC games in one place but it still launches other clients when I play a game. For example i click to play a steam game, it just opens steam and then plays. Steam stays open. Gog galaxy 2.0 seems to also use more CPU / memory resources compared to steam when viewing the processes in the task manager. Couple this with the other clients that need to open means that you're just using more resources.
According to "Exostin" in the comments, you can set GOG to turn off once a game is launched and incur no performance issues that you could have with it running in the background. I'm sure they'll optimize it though.
@@BoomSlang001 It's not a built in option, you have to manually exit GOG on the taskbar after the game has opened. Kinda defeats the point of having the app in the first place.
Thanks for giving us a sneak peek Jess. I miss the days of having all my games together in a drawer unit, ready to browse. This looks super promising. Can't wait for my invitation!
well you will still have to have steam for instance launched in the background even with this so now you are basically running two extra launchers instead of one, it remains to be seen how will this impact performance etc and if its worth it
Heroes 3 and Age of Empires 2... Gosh, the early 2000s ruled. There was just something lovely about games until 2007, it sounds like original and talented strategy games just disappeared from the mainstream and became the exception. Regardless, great recommendation on GOG Galaxy!
@@IXxChaosmasterxXI yeah I signed up for beta. I'm on waiting list for beta access I think email said. Now I'm waiting for two early access confirmation emails. One for gog galaxy and one for age of empires 2 remastered! 😅
I tried Playnite briefly, but it didn't really fit my use case. One of it's main problems is that it adds to the problem it claims to fix. "Too many clients open, using up all your precious system resources? Now you only need one!" Sounds great until you realise that you still need to launch each client to actually launch the games. What this really means is one more client in addition to the others. I'm gaming on a laptop at the moment & I don't have many games installed, so like I said, it just didn't fit my use case. It definitely has some positives though. I think GOG 2.0 might be a slightly better version of Playnite, with added benefit of actually having some games of its own. I often have GOG Galaxy open anyway, so at least that's one less client to worry about. Will it be able to auto-update the games, even if the respective client isn't open though? That's a key feature that will be the real test of whether or not it's worth using. I rarely open EA Origin, but it would be great to be able to keep all those games up to date without having to actually open the client.
CD Project Red is the only company I trust, as they have proven time and time again their pro consumer pro gamer approach. Can’t say the same about Epic, Steam, Origin and Uplay.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but I don't see the benefit. Instead of opening one client, now you will have Galaxy 2.0 running AND the client that runs the game. So now your PC will have two clients running eating up twice the ram and processing power.
Well, from what I understand from the video, you could simply have GOG running. But once you want to play a gane on another platform, the client auto starts the launcher (e.g steam) and the game. Once you close the game, you can make the GOG client close the launcher of which you own the game (once again e.g steam). Thus in idle, there should only be one launcher running that uses your system resources.
What i want to know is why EA and Valve let GOG do this? I mean i love this and will give it a try when it comes out of beta, i just didn't think companies would relinquish control of their apps like this.
GoG is great. I love having backup installers saved on my external hard drive so i have them as long as i can keep them, and i like how older games like Diablo, Warcraft 2, and DOS games play right out the gate cuz the guys at GoG make sure games are all playable on modern systems. My only complaint is there isn't a Linux version (my alternate pc i didn't want to buy Windows 10 for) but at least you can download Linux installers for games that are Linux native and at least i can try to use Wine or Lutris and dxvk on games that aren't Linux native.
I didn't hear about "PCs biggest problem" or how this solved it. I like gog galaxy but I don't consider having two or three launchers on your comp to be the biggest problem facing PC gamers.
Bonus bonus points if it links certain accounts to where you can just use the GOGverion instead of steam etc. only if those games are also on GOG of course:
well yes, but actually no, you can have all your games in one place, but you still need to download all the different launchers, which wastes space on your computer, you still need to make accounts for all the different launchers, and you still need to buy the games from all the separate launchers
I like the Playnite Shoutout. It is what I use. BTW you can Favourite games in it and sort by them to make up for no pinning. Playnite also has more platforms and also supports Emulators.
Is it actually possible to integrate a CD or DVD collection into the client? So a way to add games that are neither currently installed, nor have been purchased digitally on any platform. I still have a lot of games on CD or DVD and would like to accommodate them properly in such a library.
Does anyone know if there are plans for native, wireless controller support, including Dualshock 4 controllers? Because this is the only reason I'm sticking with Steam with many RPGs... I know that Witcher 3 supports the DS4 natively but only in a wired mode, that really grinds my gears.
For me it just doesn't make sense to host a game on a launcher if the game isn't native to because the native launcher still runs in the background because of DRM. I usually stick to buying games where the DRM stems from unless I get a great deal. Like with Ubisoft games I stick to uplay unless steam sells for cheaper at the time I choose to purchase. DRM needs to outlawed
I expect and am perfectly fine with them at launch(or shortly after) allowing you to search for games you don't own and defaulting to the GOG store for buying them. That is as long as they still show you what the prices from other stores if available. You'd still have to open the respective store and buy from there, but I'd do that anyways.
But it doesn't have a "big picture mode"... That's what I really want. Other than that, lunchbox does all this for me, and has Big Box which is technically "Big picture mode" for it. I used it for retro games but never as a everyday launcher
The only thing I want for GOG is Linux support for Dosbox using classic games. Currently GOG game installer is only for Windows while Dosbox is fully supporting Linux.
Been a bit and i still cant install a particular game i got on there... Shelter 2 :/ I do miss when Gog Galaxy didnt exist tbh, but i guess if it's better for some people, that's ok. But now every time i try to install my game, the progress is cut short with an error, seemingly because it's unable to install a DLC- but idk how to fix that or at least install the game _without_ the DLC.
Whats the point if you need to boot seperate launcher to start a game. That would be same as putting shortcut on desktop instead of start launcher and click on play button
@Exostin yeah but doesn't gaming community complain about too much launchers. So you will rather have one more launcher aside from other 5, just to see all achievements, list of all games, chat and etc. You still need seperate launcher to play other games and to buy them. And i know you can quit launchers after you started the game, but before the start you will have two launchers running in background. I love what is GOG doing and as a site, but this isn't permanent solution.
@@Dazznap LMAO Nope, this will not make people who hate the Epic store more likely to buy from them. All this is, is a Game/File manager for people who cannot organize their own shit. Will do nothing to change how people buy games on PC.
This reminds me of when you had too man Instant Messengers, so you had to download something that let you manage AIM, ICQ, MSN and YIM all at the same time.
I really just wanna in home stream witcher 3 to my crappier pc downstairs. Any way I can emulate steams in home remote play/ steam streaming with witcher 3 on gog?
I love GOG but having used Galaxy I am not sure it actually solves the problem. It changes it however. Opening a non GoG game will result in actually 2 clients running at the same time which is necessary but also kind of defeats the purpose. Since it needs to open another client, starting a game also takes much more time to open. So while its good to have all games in one client and being able to track them across all platforms, it does create new problems.
@Exostin GOG doesnt just launch the game, it needs to open the appropriate client as well. I didnt know there is a a feature that closes GOG when you start a non GoG game but wouldnt that mean if GOG is closed it doesnt track stats. Doesnt that also mean that when you are done, GOG will need to re launch. In the end you might automate client usesages but also add another one in the middle.
there's one problem:the "recently played by others",we see there's ghost of tsushima,last of us II and death stranding,but that doesn't release yet on the pc so it sound pretty suspicious
Another option to manually add another platforms like retro consoles and the possibility to stay these games Vita CLI would make it the nonplusultra client. By then I don't know which would be better. GoG Galaxy 2.0 or LaunchBox/BigBox.
Hello, i have the witcher enhanced edition on my gog profile, there is way to have it on steam, too? Because i wanted to play it in nvidia geforce now but there is only the steam one
got 6 Tabs opened in Task Manager, one is eating 115 MB another 50MB I closed it and there still open in task manager even after closed uninstalling it
How to have one more launcher installed solve the proplem with all these launchers? Every game has a shortcut, you can easily place these shortcuts in one folder and each shortcut launch the launcher first, then the game I don't want just another launcher running with my games A fancy view and all in one place doesen't solve that i need to run launchers and have them installed in my pc.

This reminds me of when you had too man Instant Messengers, so you had to download something that let you manage AIM, ICQ, MSN and YIM all at the same time.
I really just wanna in home stream witcher 3 to my crappier pc downstairs. Any way I can emulate steams in home remote play/ steam streaming with witcher 3 on gog?
Any news on the official release?
I love GOG but having used Galaxy I am not sure it actually solves the problem. It changes it however. Opening a non GoG game will result in actually 2 clients running at the same time which is necessary but also kind of defeats the purpose. Since it needs to open another client, starting a game also takes much more time to open. So while its good to have all games in one client and being able to track them across all platforms, it does create new problems.
Exactly. Not to mention more programs running in the b/g starts to affect gaming performance.
I personally can see it being useful for those times I don't know what to play. Especially with that sorting feature.
@Exostin GOG doesnt just launch the game, it needs to open the appropriate client as well. I didnt know there is a a feature that closes GOG when you start a non GoG game but wouldnt that mean if GOG is closed it doesnt track stats. Doesnt that also mean that when you are done, GOG will need to re launch. In the end you might automate client usesages but also add another one in the middle.
Once again, CDPR gives us what we actually want, thanks for fixing epics mistake.
Can't wait for LaunchBox integration.
there's one problem:the "recently played by others",we see there's ghost of tsushima,last of us II and death stranding,but that doesn't release yet on the pc so it sound pretty suspicious
You can connect your PSN account to GOG Galaxy. That's why
@@mrkvn223 oh that’s the reason then.Thank you
I subscribed on day one. WHERE IS MY CLOSED BETA
Me too :(
Not out jet. 🙄
@@daibo0ne Closed Beta is out. But they did not send the link to those who subscribe DAY ONE... Neither for those who are claiming too for a Month
Is there a release date or still only for some people?
i feel like i'm waiting for this to launch forever :(
Have you tried Playnite?
@@B1tterAndThenSome I've tried, yes.. but it wasn't thaaaat good and I had some bugs, but I've just got access to galaxy 2.0! Thanks for the tip, tho
Do you know if they plan to add a streaming option to Nvidia Shield or other streaming capable devices?
Another option to manually add another platforms like retro consoles and the possibility to stay these games Vita CLI would make it the nonplusultra client. By then I don't know which would be better. GoG Galaxy 2.0 or LaunchBox/BigBox.
they could have battle net support tho
hello i need some help.I got gog galaxy and i logged to my ps4 account but it doesnt let me install any games.Why?
Hello, i have the witcher enhanced edition on my gog profile, there is way to have it on steam, too? Because i wanted to play it in nvidia geforce now but there is only the steam one
got 6 Tabs opened in Task Manager, one is eating 115 MB another 50MB I closed it and there still open in task manager even after closed uninstalling it
Really hope 2.0 will allow import of PC Game Pass games. Otherwise, this software will be largely useless to me :(
How to have one more launcher installed solve the proplem with all these launchers?
Every game has a shortcut, you can easily place these shortcuts in one folder and each shortcut launch the launcher first, then the game
I don't want just another launcher running with my games
A fancy view and all in one place doesen't solve that i need to run launchers and have them installed in my pc.
My PC updated last night and now my gog and games won't launch help please
I don't agree with launchers at all, so GOG has me there too.
Now we just need something like this for video streaming services
I agree!
