January 3, 200521 yr I wanna try the Gothic series some time. I can't say that I've ever seen a Gothic game on the shelves however.
January 3, 200521 yr I wanna try the Gothic series some time. I can't say that I've ever seen a Gothic game on the shelves however. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Every hard to find the first Gothic game, but you can still buy Gothic II. Im pissed that Gothic II's expansion, Night of the Raven, wont be comming to the USA any time soon.
January 3, 200521 yr 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.
January 3, 200521 yr 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)
January 3, 200521 yr 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.
January 3, 200521 yr 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.
January 3, 200521 yr 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.
January 3, 200521 yr 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.

January 3, 200521 yr I'm adding FEAR to my list, I've watched the trailer 5 times now... and it's creepy <{POST_SNAPBACK}> *brr* that part in the elevator ... I don't think I could muster the will power to complete the game! Fortune favors the bald.
January 3, 200521 yr Pong 2 It's been delayed. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> True. I heard they're making Pong: Enforcer instead, a Pong FPS that continues to bravely carry the Pong legacy into the future.
January 3, 200521 yr Of course I'm pretty jaded to most horror gimmicks these days <{POST_SNAPBACK}> funny thing is that in rl it takes alot to scare me .. but games freak me totally out! Fortune favors the bald.
January 3, 200521 yr 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.

January 3, 200521 yr Never doubted it for a moment. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
January 3, 200521 yr Of course I'm pretty jaded to most horror gimmicks these days <{POST_SNAPBACK}> funny thing is that in rl it takes alot to scare me .. but games freak me totally out! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wow Hmm... I guess I'm the same way now that I think about it.
