B5C Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 For RPGS, KOTOR II for the PC and Gothic III. I just love the gothic series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderAndrew Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I wanna try the Gothic series some time. I can't say that I've ever seen a Gothic game on the shelves however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im pissed that Gothic II's expansion, Night of the Raven, wont be comming to the USA any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Hades Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Gothic 2 sucked. Not worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B5C Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Gothic 2 sucked. Not worth the money. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thats in your opinion. The Gothic series is one the best RPGs. Not as close as KOTOR, Morrowind, and NWN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llyranor Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Ender, I suggest you try out the Gothic 1 demo. It gives you access to the first camp, and will give you a good overall sense of what the game (gameplay mechanics, combat, dialogue, story, etc) is like. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Hades Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 How is it good? Gothic 2 has piss poor controls. There is no character creation. No immersion factor whatsoever. It plays like an action adventure game instead of a role playing game. It sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darque Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I tried Gothic 2... for about 10 minutes then gave it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B5C Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 How is it good? Gothic 2 has piss poor controls. Agree the controls were odd, but you can revert to the orginal controls. There is no character creation. Of course! You playing the nameless hero. No immersion factor whatsoever. It plays like an action adventure game instead of a role playing game. It sucked. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well I was immersion into the story mainy the action adventure part i like. Its a AA with RPG elements. You have to think of the big picture. This is a story between the battle of the Gods. The nameless hero is a pawn. Gothic III is suppose to have a bigger story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Errantry Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 To B5C: Out of curiosity, do you ever learn the 'bigger story'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderAndrew Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Thanks. I didn't think to look for a demo since I rarely download demos. I sometimes demo software through other means. Ahem. I tried "demoing" Gothic 1 when it first came out. It crashed every time I tried to load it. Haven't touched any of the Gothic games since.

~Di Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I'll confess, any game that forces me to play a specific character has one strike against it... and if that specific character is male, it has two strikes against it. That said, Planescape:Torment is in my top-five favorites of all time. And the Gothic series is in my top-ten. Yes, the Gothic controls are bumbling; but unless one has the IQ of boiled cabbage, they can be mastered within five minutes. Then you have a huge, seamless world to explore, people to meet, quests to do... immersion? I found myself totally immersed in the Gothic world, even if I was forced to "be" a specific male character with a specific history. Like most games, it took a certain amount of playing time before I began to understand the world I found myself in, and the people that shared it. Once I did, I was hooked. I supposed Gothic is one of those kind of games that either you love or hate... and even those who love it are not blind to its flaws (I've met damned few people who love the annoying and time-consuming lock-picking process! Grrrrr! ) But I must say that I totally, completely and utterly adore the Gothic series. Perhaps one had to play Gothic I and then Gothic II in order (Gothic II being a true sequel) in order to get the fullest enjoyment from the games. I dunno. I do know that Gothic started with two strikes against it, and ended up in my top ten. That's gotta count for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

213374U Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 I'm 'pleased' to announce that after like 6 patches, the Fall is still as unplayable in its spanish version as it was in the first, unpatched german version. Way to go! - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
