Bump!

I believe it's time to guide you to follow a path...

Ghorpm’s "don’t miss this hidden gem" recommendation

Dracula 3: The Path of the Dragon

For us, gamers, it's pretty obvious that Dracula does exist in this series but the main character, a catholic priest, does not believe in vampires. He is sent to Vladoviste to investigate a life and death of a doctor because local church authorities claim she should be canonized.

As you can imagine he starts to experience a lot of anomalies, people tell him strange stories and he has mysterious dreams...

The best thing is that supernatural is not bluntly thrown at you in this game. Your main task is to analyze numerous documents, talk with different people, search for clues and solve elaborate puzzles. Most of the time our good priest will actually find proofs that vampirism is just a myth but at the same time he will get a feeling that there is something else going on... something elusive... something incredibly well concealed... concealed by a sentient being. And it's teasing him. Teasing to follow this path... the Path of the Dragon...

As much as Dracula 1 and 2 are typical adventure games about human vs vampire struggle the third one is one of the best games I've ever played. I was in awe how marvelous this story was and how well it was told. Puzzles are hard but it gives a lot of satisfaction to solve them. And in a sense - some of them are quite similar to "The Ninth Gate". For example you'll be shown a few copies of the same painting and only by analyzing the differences between them you'll be able to solve some puzzles (trust me, it was not a spoiler, one character will directly explain that you have to do so but she won't give you an actual answer and neither did I so don't worry - I didn't spoil anything)

I can't recommend it strong enough!


TL;DR buy Dracula Trilogy and play Dracula 3: The Path of the Dragon

At this price with spanish language (my way of learning foreign languages) - I couldn't resist. Let's just hope that game's card is wrong and GOG's didn't break XP compability .....

Hmmm... some games appear as discounted both in the Weekly Sale page and in their respective game cards, but when I go to checkout they are charged at their full price.

E.g.: American Conquest + Fight Back, Cossacks Anthology, or FireStarter.


EDIT: Plus, I don't seem to be able to remove any game from any of my pending orders... Related bugs?

I could not buy Stalker with discount, because of bug. The lower price dissappeared few seconds after page load.

Thx for discounts, all the best GoG and keep up the good work.

Let's squash them *squash squash squash*.Darn it.Too many of em ;).Cheers

i have same problem, discounts disappear at check out, are GOG aware of this bug?

STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl is one of the most atmospheric games on GOG. Great gameplay & story, fantastic graphics and sound (especially if you play with a mod like "Complete", which i do recommend even for first time players) and great open environments. Also, SoC features the greatest depiction of the nuclear plant and it's surroundings that i have seen. CoD 4: Modern Warfare came close but it was only a fraction of the main game rather than a full game set in East Europe.

TL;DR - can't recommend it enough, awesome game.

Don't know why, but I read that as "DESTROY COMPLETELY". Can't put my finger on it though, it's as if I had my memory wiped somehow... strange.

In case you need some help, don't forget to call these guys! :P

I suppose it's some wider issue related with current weather conditions in Poland. In my workplace we observe increased number of bugs (for systems) and mistakes (for human beings).

It may also be a global issue. It's Monday after all! :|
