A Bit More Clarity, Please

Hi there

I've noticed that it's often a bit unclear what is missing from a game that has been ripped. It's usually not mentioned anywhere, except if somebody has asked about it in the forum. This information really ought to be on the game's page, next to the review.

Also it's sometimes not mentioned at all if a game on this site includes it's expansion(s) (sometimes it is mentioned, but sometimes it's not), and once again you have to either ask about it in the forum or play the game to find out yourself.

These are minor complaints, but it would be nice to get this information before deciding to download a game.

Yes. Callahan's Crosstime Saloon, for the missing cutscenes, and Ultima 7 part 1 and 2 for the expansions. I honestly can't remember if I noticed anymore, but these should serve as examples.

Understand that I don't mind if these things are missing, it's a matter of conserving server space after all, but it would be nice to know before downloading.

If you can take that there is no punctuation in Punch post, I think he's pretty much right about it...

I wasn't complaining it isn't there, I just said I wanted to know if it's missing. If an adventure game is missing cutscenes I'd rather obtain the full game elsewhere, since you often miss about half the story if the cutscenes are missing, and I mainly play adventure games for the story.

It's a good idea to mention it. You're right.

Takes notice.

I thought that those were included at the extras whenever it's possible.
