New to Planet Descent, Not new to Descent
« on: March 03, 2016, 04:51:09 AM »
Long time player here.  Though I only recently found D2X-XL and was about to knock off the dust of my CDs, I thought it would be better to just download the D2 from GOG or Steam...until...well, I just now noticed that they disappeared.  After googling why, I found you guys!  Then saw this really cool Coffee mug on Zazzle.  --------->

Anyway, thought I'd donate and get me a 6DoF Frosty one and just thought I'd drop in and say Hi.

I had already purchased 1 and 3 digitally in the past. Can't say why I didn't do the same for 2 at the same time.  Guess I was always just more of a fan of 1 more than the other two.  I tried really hard to like 3 but the mouse-look controls were always 'too fast' and made game play difficult.  I'm sure if I browse the files here I'll find some fixes for 3 and probably go ahead and re-download it again.

Now I have purchased Descent:Underground, under the impression that they will indeed release a single player campaign to go with it, but now that I saw Overload is in the works.....I'm excited all over again.

I know I know so much good stuff.
Good to see(-ish) a new face(-ish) around here, we don't get too many on this site any more.

By the way I go by Splotchie over on Descent: Underground and the Overload boards.  And everywhere else by... many other names.

:)  Nice to meet you.  I'm currently offshore for the last time, and do not have an internet connection I can download games from.  So I will definitely download D:U when I get back home and look you up.  I'm also on Steam as well: hjguillory

Thanks WillyP.  I'm glad I took the time to join up.

Welcome. Seems you're just in time for something of an extensive Descent revival, so you're timing's pretty good.  ;D

Apologies there isn't more activity around here. PD's ranks aren't as numerous as they once were.  :-\ But...we still try to make the best of it.  :)

Thanks for the warm welcome.  If that's the case...then I'll make myself at home and help keep the place a bit more active.....Time to get started with another run through of D1.  I never finished D2, so I might just tackle that too...

Hey welcome RaginCajun!

By the way, if you still haven't got the chance to, you should definitely play Descent 2 Vertigo.
It's much better than the main D2 campaign and a must play for every Descent fan!  ;)

I'm looking it up now, on online to see where I can buy it.  I used to have the CD set pack of all of them, but since I never beat D2, I never made it to Vertigo.  I think the set pack might have been sold in one of our Garage sales.   :'(

Oh heck, nevermind....I found the mission files here, on GOG's forum.  I hope that this isn't a 'pirate' download.
