Well currently I'm playing Gothic II Gold right now, first off I've never played Risen so I can't make comparisons. Gothic II seemed to be designed for keyboard only, w/ some mouse controls. This game is hard as hell in the beginning (I hear vanilla Gothic II isn't too bad), since this was my first Gothic game there was a learning curve.
I ended up using some guides I found online, to build my character properly (you can screw this up and ended up doing alot of grinding) and how to basically play. Game is mostly have finding enemies and quests that you can defeat/complete for your level. I've probably died 50+ times wandering into enemies that I couldn't handle. There is some grinding if you want to. It harkens back to the no hand holding games of the past. For $5-10 there is a shitload of content that I would take a flyer on them.

Are demos permanently stuck in your games list on Steam?
That seems odd.

This happened to me with the GTR demo. It was stuck on my steam list for quite a long time. I was just recently able to remove it. What I did was find the folder where GTR had been installed on my computer, and just deleted that manually. After I restarted Steam and my computer, it was gone from my games list.kamspy said:
I don't know why I didn't try that earlier.This works with most games, but it didn't with GTR demo.3chopl0x said:

is there a reason the last remnant never goes on sale?

Tried that. There isn't a Race 07 file on my computer other than the shortcut in my Steam links. It's like it's embedded itself into Windows.

I bought it on sale for 10.Rollo Larson said:
Edit: The Square-Enix complete pack was 88% off last holiday sale. You might want to wait for one of those instead.

For me it's the GTR: Evolution demo. Nothing short of a Windows reformat is going to remove this it seems. I've done the delete local content, deleted with Windows uninstall, deleted all related folders manually. The stupid thing just won't eliminate itself from the Steam directory.

Well, that's simple enough. Thanks.Drkirby said:
I might be thinking of something else lingering on my list.. Team Fortress 2 Beta or something?
Bah, I'll deal with it later.

Advanced Uninstaller will hunt that file down like a dog and devour it. Seriously, it's great for sniffing out all those useless files on computers and shredding them. Don't know if you want to pay for software just to remove a demo but it is a very useful tool to have.1-D_FTW said:

Hmm, I might grab the bundle of the first three Gothic games if they go on sale again but I'm not going to be too anxious if that doesn't happen any time soon. Thanks!

No, other then leaving a message on their profile which they probably won´t read.darkwing said:

Why are you messaging people who are offline?

I can think of plenty of reasons to do so. If you want to tell someone something, but they aren't online and you fear you might forget to tell them later (or you will be busy later), for example.

That's essentially the scale to GOG's rating system.
Pretty much. It's called Good Old Games, so the majority of people are there out of nostalgia. Most of the people who write the reviews do so based on their memories of how great X games was back in the day.
If a game isn't getting 4 or 5 stars across the board, then that's a clear message to stay away.

Weird, it's still not showing for me.

Holy shit a new M&B? OMG OMG OMG!
I've been playing it a lot this past week and it's just such an amazing game. Singleplayer is pretty addictive, and multiplayer is alive and kicking, and quite a bit of fun. I've been playing on cRPG servers, which have persistent levels/gear.
And Warband is only $6? I need to get some friends to buy it...
DoctorWho said:
Don't buy Vanilla. They shouldn't even be selling it. Warband is an enhanced version of Vanilla.

Fire & Sword actually uses real world locations this time, and I believe it has some manner of story. Otherwise it's just an upgrade to Warband. I'll be buying it.

Not at all. I don't think there is anything in the original that isn't also in Warband.
There are still some mods out there that only work with the original M&B, but I doubt you really care about those.

Hmm someone help me out a little here. I'm not opposed to buying Warband as I've toyed with the idea every time it goes on sale. The problem is every time I see someone talk about it on here it's always about the multiplayer.
Is the single player any good at all? I have absolutely 0 interest in any form of multiplayer so if that's the main draw of the game and the single is weak then I'll have to pass.
