Risen - Game of the Year

[Wilmot]

I found it here: http://www.amazon.de/Koch-Media-GmbH-Risen-Game/dp/B003TQ1EZM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1285866037&sr=8-2

Congratulations, Piranhas! Congratulations DS! You deserve it:)

Congratz PB and DS :D so what's included in the GotY edition? I saw Gothic 3 in the description but I don't know German :(.

[Wilmot]

It includes Risen, Gothic 3, a making-of DVD with backstage footage and interviews, an art book, autographs and Risen soundtrack CD:)

EDIT: It is a bit weird, since I thought only JW had distribution rights over G3...

LOL, I just noticed that with google translator it translates "von Koch Media GmbH" to "by Electronic Arts"!

Lol Google translate is bad, they are both different companies :p.

Maybe EA has done this with alot of companies to boost their own name

I'm pretty sure that every gamer has heard of EA before :p. But hey, this is EA :p.

Yes, that's right!From my point of view, Risen was the best RPG from 2009.But I see also that they are trying to sell this crappy Arcania togheter with Risen ( or so I understand, I do not know German ).:(

[Petyamester]

Interesting. How can they package the 2 games together and sell it? They are different companies.

I do not know, perhaps it could be done.But from my point of view it is not correct to sell these games togheter.In fact, I'm getting angry!§burn

No, they don't seem to be selling them together. It seems that people who bought Risen GotY 'also pre-ordered ArcaniA'.

But then again, it is Google translate, so I might be wrong.

No man, unfortunately is written below: "PRICE FOR BOTH".:(
In my opinion, this is an infamy but perhaps they are doing anything for money.:(

[Nisarg]

In the main section you see that the price is 39.99 Euro but together with ArcaniA, it is 78.98 Euro. So, it's still being sold alone but is also offered with Arcania. It doesn't even offer a discount.

NatDis is correct. The big headline over those two says: "Often bought together". The price for both is just informative. It's no special offer or "package price", just the sum of the both single prices combined. 33.99 + 44.99 = 78.98. You can find that often on Amazon.

But even a real combo-package would be no problem. Amazon is a independent dealer and can make bargains as they see fit. If they think bundling a box of chocolate with a weight watchers brochure is a good sell, they'll do it. ;)

BTW: Just as a reminder: DS made the GotY version on their own. It's not an award kind of thing. The package is said to include: a bonus DVD containing trailers, making-ofs and interviews, an autograph card signed by PB and a new 60 pages artbook. I do not know if the GotY version will be released in other languages.

[vic1968]

NatDis is correct.
Thanks God!:)
And thank you, Foobar!:gratz

Risen deserves this!I would like to buy the English version though...:(

[Wilmot]

Damn, I would kill to have it, unfortunately... it is too expensive for me right now, even without the delivery taxes:(

You forgot the soundtrack (well, it was also on the normal version).
But considering the quality of it, it HAS to be mentioned. ;)
