Best Buy did sell Gothic when it was still new. It is kind of an old game now. Best Buy doesn't keep buying and re-stocking older games. Once they are out of stock that is it. The only older games you'll see in Best Buy are the ones that didn't sell and are on sale for around $10.00 cheaper than the original price. I bought my Gothic from Best Buy when it was still new. You'd have the best luck just ordering it online.

P.S. It might be a little old, but the game is still in my opinion the best PC game of any kind I have ever played. I have played and conquered over 30 PC games... I haven't played Gothic 2 yet because it hasn't been released yet... (in U.S.)

I know May 22nd may sound totally out of the ballpark because infogrames said (or whoever said) that they would not ship the game until they started advertising. But how many times have how many game companies have said they were going to do something, but ended up not doing it? I know, not advertising this would be a mistake and a shame, but many companies have done worse things and ended up coming out as good as they ever would. I agree May 22nd won't happen, but it still sounds feesable. See what i'm sayin'?

It said May 22nd on it. sounds completely feesable to me (I made this post earlier with a link to the pic but the link was broken and I couldn't get it to work, so I deleted it. If I get it up and going again I'll post it).


What about the artwork?

Has anyone here tried e-mailing infogrames in question of a possible shipping date? And Delo, where were you looking when you saw this artwork. Who was is it created by and what exactly did it say? Right now there is a lot of hearsay and speculation floating around; I am just wondering if there is any truth to any of it. Just before writing this post I e-mailed infogrames in question about a possible release date; although, since I am a simple commoner I expect little in return. However, I will post any interesting information I receive here.

Did they specif. what kind of advertising would take place? I bought a game in April and in the box was a little Gothic 2 advertisement that said in large print on the bottom, "Coming soon." I would call that advertising. I doubt they would have the money to advertise commercially. That just doesn't seem like it would be cost efficient. I think they started advertising a long time ago... buy a few games and look in the box. You'll probably see a Gothic advertisement like the one I have. I bought the game I found the advertisement in at Best Buy.

(The one I have is a small rectangular shaped piece of paper with a graphic advertisement of Gothic 2 on one side and a graphic advertisement for Industry Giant II on the other side. The side that has the Gothic advertisement says, "It's visually more Gothically glorious than ever," and, "The new engine revamp adds enormous new impact to what was already a relatively impressive title." Underneath that it is signed, "PC gamer (UK) September 2002." Towards the bottom above the "Coming soon" bit, it says, "RGP dot Best of E3 Awards: "Best Fantasy RPG.")


Hope this helps...

This link should lead you to the artwork:

http://www.rpgamer.com/games/gothic/gothic2/gothic2art.html

click where it says "opening soon banner"

Sorry I couldn't make a link directly to the pic. Everytime I try to link to it the link takes you to the homepage instead of to the pic .
