Eastern European RPGs - which is the least horrible?

Featured Replies

Lately Ive been quite bored and in the mood to subject myself to a game so I have something to complain about. Ive been looking at this years Gerry RPG's and think I should try to play one of them, but I cant decide which one. If I was a brave man, Id play the one that looked the most awful, but im not. So Im looking for advice from you sick bastards who actually honestly enjoy these games. Which of the current crop is the most playable for a normal human being who enjoys fun gameplay and an interesting story?

 

 

I actually liked The Witcher, if that's anything to go by. It had that weird warzaw-pact oddness about it that was very refreshing.

Divinity is far from eastern Europe, Larian Studio is in Belgium.

Nonetheless, I think it's Divinity 2 that's the best of the three mentioned games and for its price, giving the most content.

Otherwise, Drakensang : The River of Time is also a good candidate. Although, it's less an action RPG, more a party based one.

Edited by Orchomene

Drakensang: River of Time was best classical RPG of 2010, Divinity 2 best action RPG.

 

I enjoyed Two Worlds 2 as well, but it has a pretty lightweight story that totally descends into madness near the end.

 

EDIT: Venetica is a pretty interesting game as well.

The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

I've only played Two Worlds 2 from those mentioned..

 

I'VE LOST MY GERMAN PASSION :(;(

Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

I tried one Drakensang game and it was competely pointless. It didnt have a story or anything as far as I could tell, you just ****ed about with your party of idiots and killed stuff. I did play Risen, though. It was sort of atmospheric.

I would say the Dragon Knight Saga was the best, with Risen coming second.

 

However I have not tried Drakensang: River of Time or TW2.

Stay away from two worlds 2 and Risen. I recently gave them a go. They both get the official Gorgon Seal of Suckass. Please note that this award is completely interchangeable with the Mrkreu Badge of Excellence.

Na na  na na  na na  ...

greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER.

That is all.

 

ahaha, somehow I have the same feelings as Gorgon :thumbsup:

Risen

Venetica :thumbsup:

IG. We kick ass and not even take names.

Venetica :thumbsup:

 

Wasn't Venetica another German game?

I'd hardly count Germany and Belgium as Eastern European.

 

Kaftan cannot into geography.

 

Americans do for some reason. Even though it really doesn't make sense.

A German RPG or "GRPG" is a genre, it can be made anywhere in the world. Although virtually all of them originate from the germanic regions.

Still, Germany isn't in Eastern Europe. So isn't Belgium.

What used to be the GDR is in eastern europe. Belgium obviously isnt, but those boys have clearly made a GRPG

No, no. It really isn't. It just isn't. That part belongs now to germany. Which does not belong to eastern europe.

 

The UN too doesn't count it as eastern europe.

Well, Alaska was owned by Russia once, so it can be considered European by some standards. :lol:

only Russia was b\never european :lol: Peter tried modernizing the country in late 17th, but to no avail. Russia is an asian country through and through. with 1 truly european town. guess which

Eastern and Western Europe haven't exactly been clearly defined throughout history. The Rhine and the Danube was really the most logical border between east and west, and it is only recently that it became a political division with the Iron Curtain.

 

edit: Sorophx, 78% of the population of Russia lives in the designated European area. It is referred to as Eurasia, if we want to be technical.

Edited by Hurlshot

that's because 10% of Russia's population is concentrated in one city
