Geralt_of_Rivia: Thank you for your generosity.

A currency converter doesn't really help though because of regional pricing. If the publisher is using the old $=€ conversion a game might be significantly cheaper for you in the US than it is here in Europe. And GOG doesn't show me the US prices so I don't know if a €49.99 game costs $49.99 or more.

So, if it's within the price range I'd like to go with Kingdom come: Deliverance.

If that's too expensive The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II sould certainly be within.
Currently Kingdom Come: Deliverance shows as $59.99 USD for myself in USA, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II shows as $39.99 USD. I have heard before that all gift purchases on GOG defaulted to USD pricing. If true, would it help to place it in your cart and check the gift option - i.e. would it then show you the price in USD as well as your regional currency or at least give you the USD base price to then check in the converter?

Thanks again, Cambrey, for a very generous giveaway in support of GoG. :)
I would like to be in for Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition

That is only true if you live in a country that profits from local pricing, like Russia for example. The reason is to prevent people from buying gift codes for cheap and then sell them to someone outside of their country for more than what they paid for but less than what they would have to pay.

If you live in a country that gets screwed over by local pricing (most of Europe, Australia, sometimes also GB) that is obviously not the case. If it were everyone would just switch to buying gift codes for themselves to pay less.

Arg, I had wondered. It looks like Cavalary's example with the API is the way to go sans VPN. You have my sympathy for having to play that whole regional pricing game.

aRealCyborg: i am thinking of buying that game did u play it when it was new, or played it way back when

Sulibor: I played it about 10 years ago, after having some experience with Diablo 2 and I liked it more than sequel.
It is a slower, darker and more tense game with greater emphasis put on exploration and resource management (mana does not regenerate, gold is limited at the beginning and it has uses even late in the game, as you can buy spellbooks and stat boosting elixirs).

Still the game had some issues, the player movement is not so fluid, field of view is limited due to small resolution. If you are still on windows 7 you can try the demo (there are graphical problems but you will be able to check the gameplay):

Hi, I'll enter for diablo, in order to avoid having to play the playstation version instead.

Thank you.

Yay for more giveaways. :)

If I am chosen I would like Shivers.

I know my tastes aren't expensive. Feel free to roll any remaining funds on to other people.

Who said good games are always expensive?
