I'm hoping Drakensang Complete comes back on sale again (now that I have my IGN discount working).

I've had my eye on Drakensang lately, but how's the DRM? I'm seeing SecuROM on GG... Is it really as bad as people say?

GG mentioned that no matter what the DRM is, you'll always have access to your games, as in they'll give you another key if necessary to work around the DRM.

To me though, I install and play on one computer, so DRM is not an issue for me. Unless it's something like "download only available for <insert finite amount of time>", I don't pay attention to it. =]

Without my IGN discount working, I passed on it (due to marginal price/DRM). Dead Dino edition is $14 on Amazon and reportedly DRM free.

Lol wtf is dead dino edition?

I have Drakensang Complete from GG that I got about a year ago. As far as I can tell, the Securom doesn't have any activation limits, or at least I didn't get any messages about having x # of activations left.

Having said that, I'm told the disc version of the complete Drakensang is DRM free and you can get it pretty cheap these days on Amazon or eBay.

Cool. Thanks for that. It was $10.81 (or thereabout) on week 1.

Weird. The Guild showed up glitched at $1.50 for a moment. On reload it went up to $30.

Looks like it's Ho-Hum Friday. I own Civ 5 base, most DLC is 75% off /yawn (Gods and Kings is only 10%). Patrician IV Gold at $6 doesn't grab me (and might be in a future 1C pack). Theatre of War is in the upcoming $15 1C pack on Amazon. Honestly I've never heard anything good about Cities XL, and at $12 it's a firm pass.

Ahh, I tried viewing banners for upcoming weeks earlier in the sale and they weren't available yet.

I guess it will be an encore week.

It must be save-my-wallet Saturday.

Alice Madness Returns is 4 bucks, doesn't seem to be part of the dailies.

wth? A steamable RUSE finally goes on sale @ 75% off, but they do nothing for the dlc? I already have the base game. The reason I don't have the DLC is because I'm waiting for it to go on sale. This whole "sell them the base game for cheap, and charge retail for the DLC" thing isn't working.

Hmmm...Heroes of Might and Magic 3 is on sale, I don't need the game right now and can easily wait a year, but most importantly I can't find if it works on Windows 7 like its GOG counterpart. I would like the game to work long into the future if I can.

Does anybody here have any experience with this game - or from GamersGate in particular? I'm sure I will like even though I'm a Master of Magic guy myself.

A lot of the older titles from Gamersgate are simply the GOG versions, as publishers tend to obtain the rights to sell the modern updates (for instance, the DUngeons and Dragons Anthology GG and Impulse sell are all the updated GOG versions). Gamersgate only got the Heroes games a few months ago so I'd wager they're probably the GOG versions.

Though, to be wary, the GOG HOMM 3 is not their most stable work, and a lot of people on multicores tend to have to use an unofficial fix.

Thank you kindly!

In this case then, there is practically no reason to get the GOG version and there isn't too much reason to wait for a better sale either - it's not like it's the difference between $60 and $48 or something.

I also have quad cores so if I have a problem I will look for that fix or try it on my Windows XP partition (which would really suck but oh well). My list is now bigger!

Oh cool. Thanks for that info.

I can't find Alice through GG's search. I think it has to be with me being in Brazil. Strange, a few days ago when Syndicate was 6 bucks I was able to purchase it, but now even that game won't show up on my search.

Alice: Madness Returns
I'm honestly a little tempted at $3.39 (w/IGN)

Thanks, but when I click there it redirects to the GG UK site, where Alice is 14.99 Euros.
