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.

animalmother2105: I plan to buy Desperados, should I buy Desperados 2 too? The reviews are not that convincing to me.
I bought it in a pack with Desperados and the Commandos 1-3 games. I haven't played it yet, but if it's similar to Helldorado (and from reviews it seems so) I think i will like it despite some bad reviews.

Helldorado is actually the 3rd Desperados.

Well... I bit the bullet and decided to get a few.

I generally suck at the most common RTS's (others I am good at), but since wanted to try Spellforce I just got the series.

The collector in me had me get all the Guild 2 games even though I probably could have just gotten the Renaissance one and been done with it.

While it is a turd, I just had to complete the set with Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods.

Raven was on my wishlist so was going to get that one anyway.

And just in case (as I try to keep an open mind) I picked up Panzer Elite.

Not a bad haul quantity-wise for less than $20.

Now all the others smucks sitting in my backlog have plenty of new company... mwhahahahahahaha....

And here I was debating whether to get the new Neo Scavenger release at full price... well, downloaded the demo, *may* get to try it this weekend, and go from there.

I know. I've played and finished both, Desperados and Helldorado (found it boxed 3 years ago for 1€ :-P), and still have to play Desperados 2

cstuckma: I see validity in either choice for influencing the future of GOG with your dollar:
1. Make a stand that says "if you don't want to work with GOG, then I don't want to buy from you" and risk them seeing GOG as an unworthy investment.
OR
2. Let them know there is still demand for their products if they will work with GOG and risk giving them more cash to run away with.

I could not blame anyone for making either choice.

HereForTheBeer: For what it's worth (as a single customer out of many, not much), I'm in the first camp. Sorry if that hurts the chance of bringing them back, but there it is.

But after this sale, I don't think bringing them back permanently is going to do them much good. At 90% off I can think of three primary reasons that you do NOT snatch up as many of these titles as you can:

- you're flat broke
- you looked at your existing backlog and decided to take a break from buying
- on principle you're choosing not to buy them, whether that principle is well-intentioned or misguided

I have a feeling that 90% off is going to override the second two cases for a whole lot of people, at which point much of the customer base already has the titles and a 'glorious return with regional pricing' isn't going to give them a whole lot more revenue.

Different story if the return also brings with it new titles that haven't been seen here previously. If that's the case, then I'll say to Nordic, "I'm not buying on a one-time gimmick. If you want my sale then come back and stay back, and at the same time let more of your catalog come to this store."
Ditto about first camp (with the note that it should be "work with the old GOG", not within their new way looser standards). If they'd have temporarily flat-priced the King Art games during this sale, I might have bought one thing as a small encouragement. If they'd have said they'll either stay with everything flat-priced OR pull everything out after this sale and only bring them back once or twice or however many times a year for such sales, with no regional pricing of course, because contracts and yadda yadda still won't allow them to do differently, at these prices I may have gotten 5 or 6. But as it is, no way.

Would still like the idea, really. Like I said before, whatever can't stay here without regional pricing may be put in a sort of suspended catalog and only activated when massive sales are agreed with the rights holders, during which price-fixing agreements are likely suspended. Would likely increase site engagement on every sale day (which, really, lately is most days), people knowing it may be something from the active catalog or something not available otherwise, and at a massive discount on top of that, so they'll come check it out.
And the permanent catalog will have whatever can stay here DRM free and flat priced at all times and people who want other stuff will be able to get them (for cheap too) when such sales happen. When most get them anyway, in fact. PLUS, these temporary agreements may allow some others to dip their toes into DRM-free too, as some have done in case of Humble Bundle after all, so those who wouldn't be fine with selling their stuff DRM-free permanently may have a go at it for a couple of days and see what happens, and we'll get stuff we otherwise really wouldn't.

Grargar: I will wait and see Nordic's reaction if/when ShinyLoot and GamesRepublic introduce regional currency.

Black Mirror 3 was hinted at coming to GOG before GOG delisted all the legacy Nordic titles which suggests we will not see Black Mirror 3 on GOG afterall due to the currency exchange politics.

Dashe: Huh. Interesting. I've never played any of their games but if I buy the whole collection, it's still less money than my parents have probably spent on me for Christmas on any given year, regardless of their income, throughout my entire life. I don't really like strategy games too much, but deleting even one title I might not be interested in would catapult the whole thing out of my price range. Now I think I understand why so many people are tempted by these sales and wind up with such huge gaming libraries.
Or ... you just buy a couple of games you really want, for a couple of bucks (for 85% off instead of 90% off), and still save money from not buying a whole collection of games you might never play. ;)

Why must a crappy game like Keane be so expensive?

It ruins my sweet 90% discount, argh!


Edit: Here's my dilemma. I can get all the games I want plus the strategy games which are ok, for around $20. That excludes the adventure games, which are not my thing. BUTTTTTT, for only $4 more, I can get the 10 extra adventure games! Including those overpriced games like Keane 2 and Raven. So it $0.50 per each adventure game!

Argh, GOG. I have til Monday to decide. My will is being sapped...

Oh, plus the games are leaving the catalogue to boot... : (

Buy all pack (90% off) as a gift, redeem all the games you want or are interested in and keep the rest of those unwanted games on gift code for trading or whatever.
