Feb Indigala Bundle (Good place to pick up Interstellar Marines for $1)

I know its a bundle but looking at the current titles in it the only good thing out of it is the early access game Interstellar Marines. Gameplay reminds me of old fast paced shooters ala CS mixed with UT

Looking at the Steam player charts it has potential as a MP game.

Warning if you wanna pick up BTA rather wait till peak hour and split cost with a friend. Peak hour will be sometime this month when they will have a "buy one get one/two free" promotion

But the real question is, does it have any potential here on the tip of Africa with our limited MP scene?

I've played risen 2- which I hear is somehow connected to this team- how does it compare?

Risen is very similar to Gothic in gameplay, in fact many people see it as the true Gothic 4 instead of Arcania. Risen 2 is just a bit more up to date ala FX and gameplay. I did read somewhere that now that Piranha Bytes own the Gothic IP again they plan to tie them in together.

In short if you hated Risen do not even think about playing the Gothic saga, if you loved it you will like the Gothic series.

I really enjoyed risen 2. Story was great, interesting characters and even the combat was fun, although it was quite difficult. Maybe I should give the gothic series a try

Thats why I love the series. It's still old school RPG's. No follow the arrow to complete your current quest, and none of this auto health regen crap. Also no way of knowing if you bit off more than you can chew numbers hovering above creatures.

Edit: If you do get it remember the following patches for Gothic 3. You will thank me later
1st Comunity patch 1.75 from http://www.madvulture.de/wp/archives/category/gothic-3 (Fix buggy AI/quests)
2nd Replace GE3.ini with https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B_w...ENCRVR1WmJiMWM (Fix distance view)
3rd quest patch 4.2 from http://www.worldofgothic.de/dl/download_433.htm (Fix quests and some FX enchancements)
4th Content Mod 2.2 from http://www.worldofgothic.com/dl/?go=dlfile&fileid=177 (Adds more armor and items aligned to gothic universe)
5th If you running on 64 bit OS patch the exe with http://www.ntcore.com/4gb_patch.php to give you a smoother game.

Click here to see how above mentioned patches would change the look of Gothic 3 when done.
