Marci87: is it worth it?

trusteft: I am into strategy games and war games since the 80's.. A lot. For the life of me I can't find any strategy game more boring than the CK series. At least the first game. I haven't played the second yet and I don't plan to.
I think CK 2 is a big, big improvement over the first one... but I suppose someone who strongly disliked the first CK is unlikely to enjoy the second anyway. In any event, I don't think 'grand strategy' is particularly fitting as a description of it; there's a much stronger random element, and the focus is very different, when compared to e.g. Europa Universalis and Victoria. In my book the CK games are more medieval dynasty management simulators/pseudo-RPGs. And a lot of fun. :D Not a fan of the Paradoxian practice of "supporting" the game through dozens upon dozens of DLC, though. Maybe they'll release a "Completely Complete Collection" edition in a few years time, when CK 3 is ready to launch, heh.
Anyone know if this bundle from gamefly gives seperate keys, or one single key for everything?

It would be nice to get them seperate. Sadly gamefly has an awful site, little to no information on what you are buying.

chean: Hmm, not a new deal (in fact from the price history at isthereanydeal it looks like a nigh-permanent discount that simply isn't shown under the GG "on sale" tab), but I only noticed it now: X: Beyond the Frontier / &euro;1.75 each (50% off), DRM-free, at GamersGate. <a href="http://www.gog.com/forum/general/gaming_deals_thread/post46668" class="link_arrow"></a></div> The [url=http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-XSBUS/x-superbox-bundle]X superbox edition is half-off as well.

Is it really? I presume it's a regional offer, since it's it's a whooping €39.99 for me.

Ouch, I guess it is. It's $20 (down from $40) here in the States. :/

EDIT: Here's a screengrab. We could always set up a gift trade if you want it on the cheap. :)

$39.95 in Australia too, but that's to be expected

I think I'm going to wait for a sale on the Game of the Century edition.
Especially if this is another dollar=euro deal.

Edit: Apparently it is, I read that the US price is $9.99 which is 7.15€

Thanks for the offer, but I'm not really interested (don't even know what the series is all about). But answer me a question;
Is all the package DRM-Free? The expansion X3: Albion Prelude says that it demands Steamworks. Is that the same case there?

I really doubt the whole box is DRM-free; In addition to the apparent Steamworks exp. Albion Prelude, X3 Terran Conflict (which IIRC is a standalone remake of X3: Reunion) has Tages on GamersGate when sold separately... seems unlikely that that DRM would have been stripped just for a bundled copy.

Actually, I wouldn't find it impossible. Consider Dreamcast Collection for a moment. As a package, it has Starforce DRM, but GamersGate also sells the games separately DRM-Free. See Crazy Taxi for example.

Hmm, good point... now that I think about it, it would be far from the strangest thing I've seen from/at GG over the years, heh.

Yes, that title has Steamworks. The rest are DRM-free.

It's a pretty nifty package imho. The games are DRM-free except Albion Prelude, which is a Steam exclusive as far as I know. But you also get a Steam key which gives you all these games on Steam as well.

If Steam isn't a problem, all the games were in the Egosoft Humble Bundle about 6 months ago. Steam is required only to download Albion Prelude, there is a no-steam exe if you register on the egosoft forums.
