HoonDing Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Animation in FO3 was utter crap, yet it won several Game of the Years. *shrug* If story & combat is more alike to Gothic II than Gothic III, the game should be a real winner. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
mkreku Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 I don't know about combat and story yet, as I have not played it. But maybe yet another preview might help? http://www.rpgwatch.com/show/article?artic...ef=0&id=285 I kind of liked this one. A bit spoilerish though, so beware.

Morgoth Posted August 30, 2009 Author Posted August 30, 2009 Am I the only one who doesn't like the look of the protagonist at all? Short hair, no remarkable facial features....looks like that The Force Unleashed guy. Lame, really. Rain makes everything better.
EUIX Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 As long as they have more then 3 voice actors this time around. "For ourselves, we shall not trouble you with specious pretences- either of how we have a right to our empire because we overthrew the Mede, or are now attacking you because of wrong that you have done us- and make a long speech which would not be believed; and in return we hope that you, instead of thinking to influence us by saying that you did not join the Lacedaemonians, although their colonists, or that you have done us no wrong, will aim at what is feasible, holding in view the real sentiments of us both; since you know as well as we do that right, as the world goes, is only in question between equals in power, while the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must."
Morgoth Posted September 15, 2009 Author Posted September 15, 2009 There's a 45 min gameplay footage from Risen (in German though). Click I haven't watched it yet, but I'm sure mkreku and you other two people are gonna like it. Rain makes everything better.
HoonDing Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 This game will be what Gothic 3 was supposed to be from the beginning without JoWood screwing PB over. I've pre-ordered it already. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
mkreku Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Thanks Morgoth. I haven't pre-ordered it yet! Mainly because the Collector's Edition hasn't been confirmed for Scandinavia yet. I may end up having to import it from Germany (since that will be in English also). Sucks. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Morgoth Posted September 18, 2009 Author Posted September 18, 2009 Risen has gone GOLD! They also said there will be a demo prior release, so it can't be that far away anymore. Rain makes everything better.
mkreku Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 First English review of Risen: To me, it sounds fantastic! No hand holding, not even in the beginning! Difficult, brave and different! Excellent! 84/100 is the score. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
HoonDing Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Great review. Can't wait to play this, along with Venetica. It should also be carved in stone that this is going to win German RPG of the Year. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
mkreku Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Another thing: the main story is supposedly around 60 hours.. if you don't do any side quests! I LOVE PIRANHA BYTES! You can shove your 8-10 hour RPG's up your arse. 60-100 hours is where it's at! Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
HoonDing Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Wow, it's almost as long as Dragon Age! The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Morgoth Posted September 25, 2009 Author Posted September 25, 2009 Risen sounds like a plan, but I won't get it immediately. First I'll finish DA and AP, then I move on with Risen. Rain makes everything better.
Gorth Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 You can invest in your... cooking skills! Ok, besides that, this game looks interesting. I might just buy it when its released down here (if it is, that is). I can always blame Mkreku and Morgoth “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
Morgoth Posted September 26, 2009 Author Posted September 26, 2009 Risen was reviewed by Germany's biggest printmag Gamestar, and they gave it a 87%. Rain makes everything better.
HoonDing Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 I went to fetch my pre-ordered Risen copy today, but I can't play it yet! My uber computer is still in repair. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Gorgon Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 The models look pretty ugly. I've got a thing about fugly avatars, especially if I'm going to be looking at brickhead for 100 hours. Hopefully something other than quick death will ensue if you ever press the block button for any reason. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
HoonDing Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Models look fine to me. Also, there isn't much point to having fairly attractive models if they just stand around like salt pillars all day (due to lack of day/night cycle) - just look at a few Dragon Age trailers. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Bos_hybrid Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 ^^ Is that the SE or is the soundtrack a pre-order bonus?
Morgoth Posted September 27, 2009 Author Posted September 27, 2009 I think the standard edition comes with the OST by default. Rain makes everything better.
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 I wish more games did that. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
Bos_hybrid Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 I think the standard edition comes with the OST by default. Nice, Gothic 3 music was the best part about it. I have to order Risen from overseas because it was banned in Aus, because it contained pissing.
Starwars Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Wow, really? That is pretty damn amazing. Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
Gorgon Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I think the standard edition comes with the OST by default. Nice, Gothic 3 music was the best part about it. I have to order Risen from overseas because it was banned in Aus, because it contained pissing. And the important part, can we put any skill points into pissing ? Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
HoonDing Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 Seems Risen is going to take most computers and hang them out to dry: Link It's funny how the system requirements of DA are almost identical to Risen... when one compares some actual screenshots of the two games. Luckily graphics don't matter in RPGs, of course. Ha ha. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
