Nordic In-n-Out: complete your Nordic Games catalog with titles like The Guild series, the Spellforce saga, and Black Mirror 1&2 up to 90% off!

How you like THEM apples?!! We teamed up with our friends at Nordic to bring back their games to GOG.com for one more brief but glorious stint. Their entire catalog will be available for purchase for the next 4 days and it's an offer you can't refuse. You can get all the great titles at individual discounts ranging from 75% to 85%, or you can complete your Nordic catalog with all the missing games at 90% off! Let's take a look at some of the highlights on offer.

The Spellforce series delivers an RTS/RPG mixture depicting a fantasy saga of epic proportions. With a vast realm to explore and conquer, a huge collection of story-driven scenarios, and many memorable character, this series is something that every strategy and RPG fan should try at least once, especially when it's 85% off.

Painkiller: Black Edition is everything you love about old-school first person perspective shooters delivered in a good-looking, demonic package. The protagonist of the game takes on the denizens of hell and delivers a royal whooping to the fallen angel host and their monstrous pets. With incredible weapon design, satisfying fast-paced gameplay, and hordes of foes to shred to pieces, this game will satisfy your need for ultimate badassdom.

And let's not forget about the one-two combo of the acclaimed Gothic series with Gothic 2 Gold Edition and Gothic 3 available 85% off. Prepare yourself for a long and enjoyable visit to the realm of Myrtana full of peril and mystery.

There are many more gems among the 35 titles included in the promo so make sure you head on to the promo page and pick your own Nordic notables. Make haste, the games will only be available for purchase for the next 96 hours! The offer lasts until Tuesday, December 23, at 10:59AM GMT.

Is the guild gold edition worth getting, or is the latest guild 2 the only one to pickup?

IronArcturus: Which is better: the Gothic series or the Spellforce series?
Depends. Gothic 1 is one of my all time faves (once you get use to the super bizzarro control scheme) and #2 is great but it seems to go downhill from there. Spellforce are a lot of fun but you probably won't them popping up a lot in the "5 Greatest" thread currently going on.

eiii: So you get the rights for the games only for the English version (or for a limited set of languages) and that's true also for games which stay in the catalog? And the delivery of additional language packs for several games a few months ago was just an exception?

That makes me start to regret the purchase of several games here which I bought in the hope that the German version would be added later. :(
They might be able to add additional languages for games already in the catalog, since their deal with the publisher is still going on and can be modified to sell those additional languages, but that's impossible for games that have been removed from the catalog, since they longer have a deal to sell those games in the first place.

Gothic is RPG, Spellforce is RTS with RPG elements. Makes no sense comparing them...

BlackBox7: Holy hell, I'm not that interested in any of these games, but the sheer game-to-dollar ratio of this deal is utterly mesmerizing. I'm tempted to just buy the whole package (which for me would be €25 for 31 games) just for the gluttonous feeling of gobbling up so many games at once. I mean, I'd spend more than twice as much as this for a single PS4 game!
Yeah, that "90% off, and a lot of these games would be purchased for less than $1.00!" is really eating at me too, even though I'm only interested in a fraction of the list.

SirPrimalform: So this just means the issue isn't a contractual requirement on either part, it's just stubbornness?
I guess so. Nordic wants the same prices here than on any other store that uses local currencies (which would in fact mean regional pricing). GOG on the other hand don't want regional pricing for classic games (if they would allow it every other publisher would want the same). It's hard to find a solution for the contrary point of views, but this promo shows that they are willing to find a compromise.

Hmm, a second last chance, and a hefty discount at that. Although the timing is a bit off for a surprise return, being in the aftermath of back to back big sales, which has left us with our wallets bare, and some nerves on edge, amidst the holiday hustle and bustle beyond the games and gaming. :/

Still, I believe, a thank you is in order, for the second last chance, but I must say...

Nordic Games, you know you belong here, and so does your complete catalog (it knows it belongs here too). Find the will, find the way, work it out so can permanently stay.

Zoidberg: Even if the items I didn't have interested me I'm not too sure about "investing" in games that will not be supported by anyone.

Bleargh...

JudasIscariot: We still offer support for all of our removed titles on a case-by-case basis :)
Yes, I know you guys will do whatever is possible to support games/movies published here, that is not what I meant. I mean with no publisher/dev behind it, if a problem arises and makes the game unplayable (like on windows 10 or whatever), nothing is possible to fix this.

Digital_CHE: If they leave, release the games for free like you did with Fallout and problem solved..
They are not allowed to do that. It was only possible with the Fallout games, because the publisher changed and the old publisher gave GOG the right to give the games away for free.

Miljac: I have to say, I really don't understand people complaining about how they bought games on last sale for more money.

<snip>

Is it somehow accepted opinion that it is our birth right to buy things when they are most afordable?
It's because people paid X amount of money for games on the understanding that this would be their last chance to buy them and now the games are mysteriously back for a "one time only" chance to buy them for the last time, again, and they are cheaper this time. (Not sure on the prices personally but this is what people have said).

Spellforce in my opinion. But there are both great and you really can't compare them. They are too different.

Cavalary: Meh, whatever. Just adding another name to the naughty list regarding this. Wonder if there's anyone else left on the hardline side that made the fuss back in February...
That glorious "hardline site" which has caused the introduction of the annoying "Fair Price Package", which forces all GOG customers to support regionally priced games even when they don't buy a single regionally priced game? No, thanks!

(Don't be stupid, it's not GOG who pays the difference, it's every customer who buys a game on GOG, even a not regionally priced one, who pays the difference.)

My advice would be to only get the games you are interested in ... the rest of them will probably rot forever on your shelf.

ERMAGERD time to scarf up some more items for trade/gifts!!!!!
Posted December 19, 2014
I'm a bit surprised that those games are back on sale. I thought they left the shelf forever. It's good to see them, though. Some people may now have the chance to get what they were missing last time.
