gothic tag because the guys who made the first 3 games made this. less buggy mercifully too. reviews for it are kinda mized due to the combat being clunky but there's tons of praise to story and characters, which considering what these guys have done int he past, makes sense.

important part though is how straight a sale it is. no need for steam, no need for activations, thankfully no more DRM - it's basically GOG style. sooner than later we'll likely see Divinity 2 pull this off too (think it still has the drm as of today, but it shouldn't for much longer once they get the latest update on it).


also tomorrow's your last day to use the $5 off coupon for the 2011 bestseller list. best $5 promo ever. especially if you didnt' get lucky on best buy (or... did and got the money back in full).

Also note that it's much better than the console version.

Oh, what the?

The site says I used my code when I'm pretty certain I have not.

On a phone and linking is a pain. Amazon, digital downloads, games, should be there. The best of 2011 list, it's pretty big of a deal and they fully understand and embrace gaming here. Code is somewhere in your email if you have it.

wrpg from the team that made the first 3 gothic games. reviews on it vary a bit but the important thing is that the PC version is much, much better than the console one. in all but name it's gothic 4. plays differently than other wrpgs in that character customization is very low in terms of appearance, but there's a lot of ways you can build a character in terms of function. otherwise it's got a ton of freedom, exploring, and character interaction (which are fairly standard for the genre).

also was less buggy than bethesda's stuff these days to begin with. which is a huge improvement.

it came from anything gaming related, including various quarter DLCs. it's not auto-discounted though. check your email, do a search for Amazon Promotional

should find something.
