superstande: Good Morning!
Hoping for only two more games from the sale: Gothic 1-2.
I actually skipped these several times on other sales I think.
But after playing a bit of Risen, which I find one lovely game, on par with Witcher 1... I want to try the older games too...
Are people getting what they were looking for in the sale?
Hello!
I was going to give a tale of woe about not expecting Gothic 1 to go on sale as it was one of those games that almost never went on sale. However I've just realized that the entire series here is now listed as published by Piranha Bytes, who are the devs of the first three games and who recently got the rights to the series back. Before that they were published by Nordic games and I believe Gothic 1 had a different publisher entirely, which is why it never went on sale.
So what I'm saying is...dag nabbit I waited years for a chance to grab Gothic 1 on sale (which I was finally able to earlier this year) and then you city slickers can just waltz in one day and realistically expect to grab it on sale, I hope you burn yer beans!
The first Gothic is pretty dated in certain ways (graphics of course, the controls are a bit odd, etc), but it retains the charm that made it stand out against The Elder Scrolls series, and it's still fun!
Do you already have Gothic 3, or at you just not interested in it? It was my introduction to the series and I think it's great, although it does have some very noticeable flaws (mostly on the engine side of things).
