A hard DVD copy of Divinity 2 :DKS - Where?
 

Hello guys,
do you have any idea where can I buy a hard DVD copy of Divinity 2: Dragon Knights Saga? I looked on the official pages but there was only download version. I know most of you dont care, but I love my game collection on the shelve ;-)

Yes, the same goes for me - a hard copy freak, always have been, maybe try game-co-uk…

At the moment ebay looks mostly to have Xbox versions.

If GoGamer ships to where you are they've got it for $30 on sale right now.

It'll be back up to $40 when the sale ends.

www.gogamer.com is where I just ordered mine during the sale :)

Still on SALE for 8 more hrs!!! (as of this post time)

For Americans.

This is pretty lame (regarding my DKS preorder which was originally due for release on 11/26/2010) …


… and…
Seems like the English PC retail release has indeed entirely been cancelled by the publisher since neither GAME nor Play.com nor Amazon.co.uk are selling the game.

Damn, that sucks. I was holding out for the retail release, too. I wonder what Larian have to say about it?

I've emailed Mastertronic, who are distributing the UK X360 version, to ask whether there will be a PC version. Will post any reply I get here.

Probably Larian decided it this way… so they can generate as many as possible downloads on their own online shop :-)
And I fully support them, but why they do not offer a hard copy along with the download ? Probably too much effort for them..

Sooner or later the game will be published, so the old geeks like us will have to wait some more time.

Well, I heard back:

I may have to give in and get the digital version.

Cool. Thanks for checking, coaster. That is fairly disappointing news. Oh well, no DKS then. Not paying ~€40 for a digital version with limited activations from Larian… for digital I'd pay €15 - €19 max… and not buying the German version because it isn't multilingual. No big deal tho'. I got more than enough unplayed/unfinished games anyway :) .

No German version? The German Divinity 2 loca was excellent. FoV is a bit weaker but still pretty good.

No, I don't want to play the German version because of the humorous stuff in the game. I mean can you imagine watching a localized Monty Python movie? Not really, right? :)
Anything humorous usually translates terribly to another language or is completely lost in translation. If I ever get around to acquiring an English version of the game then I want to experience the original script of DKS as it was written by the developers.

You mean you want to play the English version as written by the Belgian developers? ;)

Well, for FOV at least … I can't say. NDA. ;)

But a tiny hint : A few word games in FOV got lost. As far as I know.
On the other hand I must say that I haven't played FOV yet, because I wanted to wait for DKS.

I have only been testing at Larian's. ;)

The English PC version of DKS is apparently available as a boxed version in the BeNeLux. So it physically exists, which makes the decision to not distribute it in the UK strange.

On the Larian forums, it seems to be the good ol' "The UK game market is destroying the world" argument, which was also tagged onto dtp's Grey Matter, I believe.

Amazon.ca has it. Go Canada!

My gogamer order is still in "Processing" mode…

/crosses fingers

I'm surprised to hear it's not out in the UK. I had assumed that was where my import copy was from.

Got the "product has Shipped" email from gogamer so I guess I got lucky :)

Do you live in US?

Yes since the game was "programmed" or rather written in English due to Larian's international staff. The dialogues, quests, jokes and humorous episodes were all originally written and created in English and that's why English is the original version of the game and that's why I want to play the goddamn English version and English version only :) .

Any news/clue if and most importantly when will there be a PC DVD release of DKS? .. I dont want to buy a download version :-(

It's already been released in most places.

If you live in the US, you can order it from GoGamer.com, although they're sold out at the moment.

You might want to keep an eye on Ebay as well.

I live in Europe and I was not able to find hard copy DKS for PC :-(

Any suggestions?

You can order it from Benelux. It is an English version.

This shop supports paypal and international shipping

I am waiting for a price drop before ordering this compilation.

Thanks! :-)

Glad to have found this thread. GoGamer.com still has the hard copy for sale. Between the cost of the game and shipping I paid a little more than $38.00. I have looked for a hard copy all over the place and GoGamer is the only one I have found that offers it this way. Amazon.com only has it avaliable in download.

Buy it here in Hungary!
Bought it yesterday in Media Mark, the price was no more than 3.000 HUF (11EUR)!

I was able to get mine at EBGames (Gamestop) although their PC Game selection is getting worse.

Was in my local Gamesttop a week ago and someone whop works there and is a BIG PC gamer (doesn't like consoles nor their ports) said because of Steam's massive success, along with G.O.G. and other download sites , Gamestop is slowly but surely phasing out the PC market and strictly sticking with the console platforms and games.

That's interesting … Hoping that Germany remains so conservative regarding downloads … ;)

I recall walking into stores and finding a whole wall for pcgames now I'm lucky to get a small shelf. It makes me cry and miss the old days.:bigcry:

Now if only it was that simple to get a retail copy of Drakensang: The River of Time

The markets are just different, I guess …

Is it full English release or some Polish or Hungarian edition with subtitles and manual & cover in Hungarian or Polish?

The PC Games market may be changing in Canada since users are paying more for internet so streaming/downloading large files is going to cost more. The average monthly cap. is 65GB, if you're also watching movies online that doesn't leave a lot of room if each game is 4 - 6 GB.

Thank you Dark Savant for these links, I have ordered both Divinity 2 and the River of Time from www.freerecordshop.nl. The website was OK to navigate with a bit of help from google translate.

So is Dutch edition completely in English, including case and manual? How thick is manual anyway? Price for DKS in round 20 pounds plus shipping at the moment in some Dutch online stores.
