Just looked at the best-sold list. Sacrifice isn't even in the top 40?!?! Are you all mad? It's probably the best game here, after HOMM 3 and Fallout...

Opinions....
I want to buy it but I also want to buy 20 other games here on gog so it'll have to wait a little longer :)

here is a video about the game, made by TotalBiscuit and Dodger: http://youtu.be/y7jw6tord7Q

I have it, and so should you.

i look at the game and it's an instant turn-off for me. can't help it. sometimes it just clicks, and sometimes it doesn't at all.

I don't get it. What exactly is the turn-off?

That is surprising, especially considering that wpegg has given away millions of codes for Sacrifice.

I own it but it's in my backlog, I plan on playing through it sometime within the next two months. Any recommended mods or patches or whatever?

It's one of the top 10 best selling strategy games, so I wouldn't say it sells bad. It's just behind Empire Earth which was free for everyone for like 3 days. That means quite a few people have it.

That being said, I think you also kind of might have touched on another reason why. It is a game that didn't really need much help from GOG to get working, and it's also available from other digitial retailers, while a lot of stuff isn't. Of course, there's also the way the best selling list works. As in, how does it? I find it hard to buy that a POS like Two Worlds is so high. It was on sale recently, so does the list reflect more recent sales?

there's nothing to 'get'. you either like a game or you don't. the description, design and art style don't appeal to me at all.

tastes change. i used to dislike the art style of Diablo. now i love it.

Good stuff, thanks.

On an unrelated side note, this forum reply came up on my GOG downloader whilst downloading Alan Wake. Neat little feature I was not aware of.

What Fred said

Well I guess maybe because it is a blend of various styles in one and in that way it doesn't appeal to a specific type of player and in that way it sells less good.

Maybe people don't know that it's got Tim Curry's voice in it.

Gamespot gave it a bigger mark than it gave Diablo 2:
