GOG is taking pre-orders for The Serpent's Curse at 20% off until the first episode is released, which is expected to be December 4th.
If you order now you can get both episodes for $19.99!
What a deal!

Btw, there is a great interview with Charles Cecil here. What a nice guy! And he talks about "the goat".

Gil.

Thanks Gil.

Ana

Thanks Gil. Done.

Chief

Thanks Gil,
I just "bit the bullet" (LOL) and pre-ordered the Season Pass from GOG. Dec.4 is NOT that far away.
HAPPY GAMING!
Sandy

Thanks for the tip Gil. I'm off to do this right now!

Bernie

You know, I'm really horrible at math.
Awful.
But if those two parts of BS-5 are going to sell for $15 each...which means $30 for the entire thing...and GOG is charging $20 right now, on sale, for the whole thing...doesn't that work out to MORE than 20% off?

Gil.

THe season pass is 24.99. If you purchase them separately, they are 14.99 each. It's 20% off.

Oooooooh.

Gil.

Thanks Gil. Got it.

I keep thinking that every adventure gamer is going to be calling in sick on December 4th.
The world may shut down.

Gil.

I just played the beta & I can tell you the game looks great, can't wait to play the rest of it.
It has a built in hint system which is great.

Hmmmm. I already have the downloads coming because I joined the kickstarter campaign for this game. This price is SO much better than what I paid....and you get BOTH games at once instead of waiting for the second episode next year.
What a deal!

Not sure how you are calculating it Melia, but for 15 dollars on Kickstarter you get both games, so this is not cheaper.

Also you won't get the second half sooner on GoG you are only getting a pass that will allow you to get it when it's available.

The deal is, Melia, we backed "one" game, most of us at the $15 level.
It was never intended to be episodic.
Revolution split the game in two since it is a very long game they say (the equivalent of two) and they wanted to get the first half of it to us this December.
If they had decided we were only going to get the first part of the game for our pledge, Revolution would probably be stomped flat by 14,000 irate backers.

Anyway, you and I and the other 14,000 are getting a better deal on Broken Sword 5 than anybody for believing in Revolution and backing the game.
Yeehee!

Gil., aka, happy backer

I couldn't remember what level I had pledged at so I went to kickstarter...and you're right. It was only the $15. Whew! Feel better.

Hi Ana I have never dealt with GOG before are they all downloads? I am as with most people interested in Broken Sword 5
Maggsie

Hi, maggsie,

Yes, GOG is a digital distributor and only sells games for download.

It's my favorite place to buy games these days.


Gil. (pretending to be Ana)

GOG is a great place to get games. Not only are they DRM free and once bought you own it, but you can uninstall and reinstall you games at any time because you have an account there that has a list of all of your games with the installation links. And when there's a problem, they fix it immediately.

Thanks Gil I have only bought games in the form of CDs Is it an American company? the prices are in $ I see. Do I just register.?
Is it connected to Steam? I have had trouble with games that are linked to Steam and I think Broken Sword 5 is with them That's the one I want
Regards
Maggsie

It is not an American company and they are not linked to Steam.

Ana

Nothing to do with steam at all maggsie. It is really a good site. I have bought a lot of games from them.
Richard

Hey, again, Maggsie.

As the others have said, GOG is not like Steam.
When you buy a game, that's it.
It's yours.
You don't have to play it through some contraption like the one Steam has.
(Do they call that a client?)

Yes, just register and you'll be a member of GOG.

I think GOG is based in Poland, since you ask, and they're loosely affiliated with CD Projekt Red, the makers of The Witcher.

Btw, they try to make the prices work out to be the same for everyone worldwide, so what you pay in pounds will be the equivalent of what I'd pay in dollars.

Gil.

A Great Christmas thanks to all you great GBs I am going to register now, The advice I get from you all is the business.
Broken Sword 5 here I come
Thanks again
Maggsie

I get an email alert from my bank every time my debit card is used outside of the U.S., and Bank of America says that my GOG charges were made in Cyprus, and lists the merchant as being located in Nicosia, which is the capital of Cyprus.

Thanks Uncle Reg, I have just opened an account and purchased Broken Sword. Can you tell me what happens now, both episodes appeared on a bookshelf, Now what do I do, Do they just download automatically.This is all new to me sorry for been so ditzy
