lowyhong: Is it worth it to buy UFO Extraterresterials on Gamersgate for USD4.97, or to wait for Gamersgate to get the Gold edition (if it ever comes)? Does the Gold edition make a huge difference in gameplay?

PoSSeSSeDCoW: Anyone know why the discount isn't being applied? Is there a coupon code I need to enter or is the site just slow to update / glitching out?

mystral: All in all, it may make for different gameplay from turn-based games, but not different enough to refuse to play the games imho.
Still, it's your choice, but you might be missing out on games you'd really like.

DukeNukemForever: Ah, I didn't want to say the RTS games with pause-mode are bad our not good as turn-based. The games are very good, especially for turn-based lovers or slow-paced players. But for me there is still a different feeling while playing. As example, if the automatic pause starts, my first question would be what the heck did I miss. Situations like this you can't find in turn-based games.
So, if you liike turn-based games, you will most likely also enjoy these games.

PincushionMan: Gamer's Gate has Neverwinter Nights 2 Gold for sale with a 50-80% loyalty discount. The base price in the US is $30, and I'm a GG newbie, so I get the 50% discount.
Hmm, it doesn't list SecuROM as copy protection (like the disc version has in the US), but it does list Internet connection required. Does anyone know if this is some kind of UBIdrm scheme? I do remember that some of the original NWN modules from Diamond edition required online authentication to play - anyone know if this is similar?

Catshade: Just saw Majesty Gold for $5 on GG, too...tempted to buy it, anybody knows the game's compatibility with newer OS/hardware?

Gundato: NWN2 used Securom, but not Activation-Model Securom. In other words, it used the same damned Securom that people were okay with until Spore/MEPC made them think that all their games retroactively had activation limits :p
To my knowledge, the only official thing NWN2 related that needed an activation was the premium module from the guys who did Darkness over Daggerford (yay, Alazander :p). And that isn't included, from what I can tell.

PincushionMan: Still a bit angry I have a box & useless discs on my shelf. It's a reminder never to do that again.

PincushionMan: Gundato, I respectfully disagree. I had a version of NWN2 that had a two activation limit. It crapped out after I installed it in Windows, Wine, then on the Crossover Wine install ('cause it didn't work in Wine), it crapped out. Atari acted horrified that I'd hit the limit so quickly, less than a week after the release, and refused to give me even one more install. Granted, it was build 791 or something like that, and I expected bugs. I did not expect an activation limit. Still a bit angry I have a box & useless discs on my shelf. It's a reminder never to do that again.
