I'll pass, doesn't really matter what extras there are or if it's only $2 difference. My point was I would buy the game at half price. Too many other games that I want for me to spend more than one of those would cost on a game I have a very mild interest in playing, thanks for the opinion though . . . =)

We have seen some recent Ubisoft releases at $5.99 though, so depending on the sales they see at that price-point it's possible their policy may change.

I went ahead and got Far Cry. I almost got the pack but I'm not all that interested in Chessmaster or Driver and I might get the Prince of Persia HD Trilogy on PS3.

He did give a pretty persuasive argument, though. For $6, you could do a whole lot worse, that's a good deal of content for $7 and it's a damn good game. Unfortunately (...or is that fortunately?), I already have it, and the games I'm looking at don't have extras nearly as enticing.


If you already have a flight stick, I'd personally recommend taking the jump, it and Comanche vs Hokum are pretty much required GOG purchases for flight stick owners. Descent, Freespace, and Independence War should be too, but if you want to fly planes and helicopters, you would do well not to ignore IL-2 and EECH.

If you don't have a flight stick, though, if it was $5 I'd buy an Extreme 3D Pro just to play it with. I did that when I bought EECH soon after I joined for $3. Wasn't sure if I'd like it, but it's very good, as is the flight stick, which is a great deal better than the stuff I used in the 90's, and it's fun to play games with a flight stick again. I originally bought a flight stick solely for EECH, but now I have almost all the flight sims on offer.

I was very happy when the original "GOG Gems" run included Red Baron (as well as a $2.50 Psychonauts. I wanted a GOG version but couldn't justify paying even half price when I owned two other versions). I bought EEAH later on when that was on sale, as well as "Fantastic Journey" after I enjoyed the other two Pro Pinball games.

That's one nice thing about recurring sales. You can buy a game in a series, and if you like it, you'll have a chance to buy the rest later. :P

I see your point. I also try not to spend cash on games from my “nice-to-have” list. To many “must-have” games present on gog is not on my shelf yet. Two weeks ago I've made an exception from that rule and after 4-5 weeks of passed promos - I purchased 2 of my “nice-to-haves”: King’s Bounty and Star Wolves. And next week gog set entire Quest on promo :-(. Really hope you are right - most of my "must-have" Ubisoft titles are set on $10. But if not … patience is a virtue...They will appear on promo some day and, one by one, they all shall be mine :-)

Sooner or later we will both have the Ubisoft games we're interested in . . . =)

True. But will we also have enough free time to PLAY all interesting games purchesed? :-)

I'd only be interested in The Settlers 2 so since that's only -30% I'll wait.

Got all the ones i am interested in so ill pass thanks.

At the rate GOG is releasing games . . . I will never have enough time . . . =)

Personally, I thought the storyline didn't make much sense, and found the combat, while technically better, much more frustrating. Also got lost too many times and had to use walkthroughs :(. But most importantly, it lacked the charm of Sands of Time.

Interestingly enough, my favorite parts of the game were the Dahaka chases :)
