Title: 11/22/05 - Gothic 2 Gold & Silent Storm Gold Post by: Sky on November 21, 2005, 09:06:10 AM Just wanted to drop in this pair of $20 releases.
Gothic 2 was a great single-player rpg and the Gold edition includes the Night of the Raven expansion, which was never released in the US (and I've been dying to get!). Great game to hold one over until Oblivion ships, I had bought the original Gothic 2 to hold me over for Morrowind and enjoyed Gothic 2 way more than MW. May be the best fantasy rpg on the pc. Silent Storm Gold also includes the expansion. I waited too long to buy the original game (tbs ftw!) and it disappeared off shelves, for the last year or so. So I'm happy to see it in Gold form, for twenty bones. Even if there are giant robots.

Also, can you be a monk? Title: Re: 11/22/05 - Gothic 2 Gold & Silent Storm Gold Post by: stray on November 21, 2005, 09:24:10 AM (I'm shallow and gfx make a diff in my gameplay). You're telling Sky this? :-P They both came out early last year, I think. Title: Re: 11/22/05 - Gothic 2 Gold & Silent Storm Gold Post by: Sky on November 21, 2005, 09:44:34 AM Gothic 2's original release was Oct. 28 2003. It plays in widescreen but it's not shadertastic.
You can play a Paladin (heavy armor/melee), Mercenary (ranged, dragonhunters) or Magician (er...magic). There's a nice amount of story behind each faction, and you have to quest your way into each. You start as an average Joe, being saved from your death at the end of the first game is the plot device that weakens you back to newbiedom. I really dig Gothic 2.

Hope it's fun. Title: Re: 11/22/05 - Gothic 2 Gold & Silent Storm Gold Post by: Nija on November 26, 2005, 08:47:23 AM It's a German game. Made in Germany, in German, and first sold in German. Of course the voice overs are going to be rough.
You'd not buy a game based on piddly shit like that? Awesome. I can't find this anywhere, and I wants it. Title: Re: 11/22/05 - Gothic 2 Gold & Silent Storm Gold Post by: Azazel on November 26, 2005, 11:35:15 PM It should be ok as long as you don't mention the war.
I'll keep an eye out for it. |
