I love this game from the robot to the balls, to the sins.
Enjoy!
Can I ask where you got it and what are you running?
I don't have mine now and might want to buy it and hold onto it this time.
Thanks

Glad to see that there are still copies to be played!

Got my order in from work, that site is really good in service. My confirmation was immediate and when I got home there was the official confirmation.
You might want to take some short reference notes.
Sure it has a bad reputation it is about sin.
One of the reasons I don't take very seriously reviews is because what is good for one person may not for another.
Try it and let me know what you think. Mine should be here in a couple of days and this one I will hang on to, for sure.

A good question, sir!

Oh, but you have capital sins also...

Start a new off-topic and we'll discuss it to death.

me neither....
there have been times when i've consulted as many reviews as i could get my hands on before i purchase a game only to be disappointed...
and times i've played a game, loved it, and then stumbled across a bad review...
my most successful purchases have been made by following my gut...

I just now took it off my computer the other day, it was towards the end at least I think it was the end of the game. There is a room for each sin, and boy you ought to hear the room of Audltry all the moaning in there.

James Woods, the actor. A good one at that.
I liked the game and looking forward to playing it again.
It is strange I have about 4 or 5 games up and running and really am not that interested in any of them except Morrowind and since I know that is a forever game, I would love another game that holds my interest.

Oh, almost forgot, editing this to add that James Woods is quite the appropriate choice for the part. He's done so many evil, demented roles, it was scary even thinking about him when I heard he was going to be in the game as a voice.

Status : Online | Gayle, if I can step in, I like 3DGamers because they have usually have fast downloads. But don't look for any English in the demo, it's only out in German.
http://www.3dgamers.com/news/more/1038972012/
The full game is out in Germany but I heard it's very hard to find any company to ship it to the US or Canada, for those who know German or who just want to walk around in the game or both.
In an English Gothic 2 forum below they talk about all the stuff like the caves, skills, marvin codes, etc, and get way off topic. Like any forum. I'm Slelf in the forum. Skills and marvin and etc, OH MY, I got off topic too.

Status : Online | Hi and thank you for the site.
This is where I wish I knew another language besides english, but then which one would I chose to learn.
EB Games site has Gothic II coming out on 2/14 but I expect it to be pushed back a couple of times.
It seems in the last year or two, games are always pushed back at least two times.
A long time ago there was a few games I wanted that were made in Europe and it was hard to get them. I did find out at that time that a lot of the games made over there have a hard time finding publishers over here because the publishers here don't want to take a chance on an unknown game company without an established track record.
I wonder if the reverse is true?

I don't really think so - in the States, pretty much only huge developers/publishers seem to exist. The predictable effect of a large unified market.
