Sure OP!

What you want to talk about?

Morrowind was better.

witcher 3 was better

I've never played this shit is it being good a meme or not I can't tell

i am better

I liked the first game better

It's so funny to look at the retards on Sup Forums jerking off on dark souls, the witcher, and the japanese crap.
Gothic 2 shits in them, and covers them with a massive, smelly turd.
It has the best gameplay, quests, and the atmosphere in the history of the universe.
It is, by far, the best RPG ever made.

It actually is genuinely good.

How does it feel to know that the best RPG ever was made by Europeans?
>inb4 polish

it's an aged game get past that and it's unironically top 5 rpgs ever

>Best rpg

It's a genuinely great game and I was impressed for the few hours I put in it, but I couldn't get into it because of awful combat system. I'm usually not someone who has issues with old games and mechanics but even Morrowind had better combat than this crap

HHHHHHHHHHHHHH

You're back!

that isn't betrayal at krondor OP

Anybody else as hyped as me for the second best RPG ever

>even Morrowind had better combat than this crap
I'm not going to call you a faggot just yet until I get an answer to this
did you know your character's moveset actually improves as you level up your weapon skills?
or that masking the attack key cancels attacks?

>gameplay
Never played it but is this the one where everything kills you pretty much instantly in the beginning? I remember seeing a video of a guy getting knocked out by a pig over and over

Only if you're bad at the game.

Just another nail in the coffin I guess.

I played it at least a good 5 years ago user(Gothic 1, not 2), I don't remember what exactly was I thinking to myself. Yeah, I guess I at least suspected that protag's combat skills would improve(it's quite logical in an RPG after all), perhaps even managed to unlock some better attacks, I really don't remember. I know that despite really admiring the game's RPG elements, I just somehow couldn't stick around and I think that combat was the main reason for that.

you're just shit at the combat

the combat becomes godly satisfying once you get good at it

>when you actually like Gothic 1&2's combat and know that it will never be like it again

Suffering.

two worlds was better

...

does anyone know her name

youtube.com/watch?v=YTNI38-qcZQ

Yeah, the combat is pretty bad which is funny since people in Gothic threads pretend it's the second coming of christ.

>I just somehow couldn't stick around and I think that combat was the main reason for that.
that's because you genuinely fucking suck at combat in gothic at the start
it wasn't problem in you (the player), it wasn't problem withing the game either, it was a design choice that could fly in 2002 because people didn't walk away from games that taunted them back then
it's frustrating yes, and we always warn people that unless they play with their head they are going to die billion times to even weakest enemies

you should really check it out again and take it slowly this time
Gothic 2 had a DX11 renderer released a while back and also a very nice HD overhaul.
it makes the game actually pretty easy on the eyes even 15 years later

I don't know why OP makes these threads always with same picture and same quote like a fucking autismo, but this game really is fucking great and people should be made aware of it

Is that Dx11 addon? How stable is it?

I was planning on making G2 full OCD-level-completionist playthrough/walkthrough.

>wake up
>play the best rpg of all time
Is there a better feel?

i mean i might buy it if it ever goes on sale but something tells me it's not going to be the gothic-2-but-in-the-future that i want it to be

combat is great for what it is. revolves around learning patterns for each individual enemy so you are always cautious about new encounters. It allows for the player to use just enough skill to bring themselves ahead in encounters so the game is not just entirely based on your stats, player knowledge becomes just as much as a factor. This allows the game to keep the feeling of "figuring it out for yourself" to even the extent of the combat. there probably ways to improve upon it, but the core concept is great

the only people who complain about combat are ppl who are shit at it

youtube.com/watch?v=SQgTa7qS9wg

gothic 2 in general isnt that stable of a game so be sure to use often AND ___WITH_DIFFERENT_SAVE_SLOTS____

it's DX11 and L'hiver and it's stable, but if you want to install l'hiver don't install the new version. read

maybe dust it off a bit?
better visuals don't hurt on top of already good games

Nah, it's just bad. All you have to do is use block once and every enemy is automatically defeated. The only challenge is in waiting for the enemy to stop backstepping and running in circles before attacking.

like why do you talk shit about things you obviously didnt play

using the block isn't easy at all.

block is timed and you have to fuck up exactly once against high level enemy to get raped because successful hits stagger and you won't be able to block once he starts chopping you up

i URGE everyone who never played Gothic 2 to give it a try. It's the best RPG that there is

But you're video shows how bad the combat is.

Cuck

what's on the video is extremely hard to do go on and try it yourself and see if you can do it you faggot

What rpg is that?
Wuem online

But I never said it's easy, I said it's bad.

Whatever helps you sleep at night, user.

Literally all you have to do is stand still, lock-on to an enemy and hold the block button.

>and hold the block button.

are you retarded?

You can't hold the block button. Not sure if baiting or just never played the game

Is Gothic 3 canon, or is it an alternate timeline where the hero failed in defeating the Sleeper, fell asleep forever and Gothic 3 is the dream sequence he's having?

Again, whatever helps you sleep at night.

We're not talking about Gothic 1

nothing after Gothic 2 is canon

Oh, I see. You're legitimately retarded.

>I played it at least a good 5 years ago user(Gothic 1, not 2)

Is the guy playing this mentally handicapped?

>the block is timed
>all you have to do is hold block
>posts gothic 1 when THIS FUCKING THREAD IS ABOUT GOTHIC 2

Gothic 1 blocking is more difficult because you have less control over it, instead of blocking specific hits by enemy - you can hold a block for an unspecified amount of time and hope the enemy finishes the combo before you drop the block.

I didn't realize Gothic fans were this bad at following reply chains.

you replied to a post that told you block is timed with a screen from Gothic 1

your was a reply to which were replies to a reply to a video of GOTHIC 2

You're the retarded one user, sorry

HUGE INTERNET FIGHT

Which was a reply to
(me)
which was a reply to
which was discussing Gothic 1.
Don't worry user, you'll understand reply chains after a few more weeks on Sup Forums.

I genuinely feel sorry it turned out like this.
I don't want to rip at the guy anymore. Gothic 1 combat really is ass compared to Gothic 2.

look at these

(beginning)
(end)

Where do you see anything about Gothic 1 here?

havent touched gothic since it was released on demo disks, wanna play it but its a cluster fuck on newer OS and any patch is in fucking german or smthing.

In other threads Gothicfags have told me Gothic 2 combat is more of the same of Gothic 1. What makes it so astoundingly amazing and different?

no invisible frames, enemy AI isn't braindead, less clunky, much harder

I just see bad hitboxing and a terrible player, unless he was doing this on purpose to make a point or something.

...

It's really not that hard: pastebin.com/SdpGbyBn

It's feels smoother and tighter, can't hold block - but can block individual hits, stepping back will automatically block - though that is possible to do in gothic 1 if you're holding right click.

I never played any Gothic game. Which one should I play first to get used to the mechanism? I love Morrowind and hate Skyrim

is not part of post chain you talked about dumbass

jesus you're retarded

1 is much easier than 2 so you should play 1 first

stop for fuck's sake people, what are you getting out of this?
we already settled that gothic one combat is shit, can we go back gothic 2 thread?

Here, I'll be real nice and piece it all together for your poor wittle brain:
If you couldn't deduce that and were the same poster than I'm sorry. I wasn't aware of your poor mental faculties.

I'll probably give G2 a shot someday then. G1 had a lot of good/decent ideas but pretty poor execution. Also my god was the final bossfight and ending shitty.

On November 22nd, 2002 a game simply labeled "The Greatest RPG ever made" manifested itself inside Essen Cathedral, Germany, while the bishop there was holding Mass.

By the grace of God, it appeared just as the Bishop was breaking the body and blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. It was a modern miracle and a sign of His plan.

Piranha Bytes employees were in attendance and gracefully received the gift as per God's wishes. 7 holy days and nights later the game was copied and sent out into the world where it would be cherished and loved by the chosen few who were destined by God to play it.

Fast forward to the modern time and some say the game is still talked about in secret and in hushed forums, where simply uttering it's name brings joy to those who know of its greatness. "Once in a lifetime experience," "perfect game," and many more praises have beset it's cherished form. But one simply stood out. "Greatest RPG ever made." The game now had it's disciples to spread its word of truth forever more.

At least that's how the story goes.

Something weird happened here.

Its by far the most immersive rpg out there. It has some weaknesses, but the fact that it doesnt feel like youre ice skating through some dead mmo world makes it top tier.

...

i'll make it even easier for you

is not me
and none of the replies to were made by me

now take it easy and slow so you don't get lost

replied to I replied to with You replied to with I replied to with Never has the word "Gothic 1" been mentioned
Now fuck off retard

Thats part of the fun. You start weak and it takes over half of the game to even be able to touch some of the stronger npcs. Before that youre everyones bitch and gotta find a way to get by without pissing your bullies off.

I played it for the story with cheats ON to bypass this problem and it was worth it. Great game, fantastic world and atmosphere, it was far far ahead of it's time.

I was talking about Gothic I, I got the gog version and the frame rate is capped and no 1080p, all the shit for it is on kraut forums.

>bypass this problem

it's not a problem, you're just shit at the combat and had to use cheats

...

google "gothic 1 systempack" literally takes 5 seconds

I really enjoyed 3 after the community patch and even like it more than 2 for its massive and diverse world.

steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=484664831
gog.com/forum/gothic_series/gothic_series_patches_mods_tweaks/post158
Literally 5 seconds on Google. I think the GoG link is more up-to-date.

forum.worldofplayers.de/forum/threads/1340357-Release-Gothic-½-—-SystemPack-(ENG-DEU)

casn't say I liked 3 more than 2 but I definitely liked it a lot with patches
highly unpopular opinion still

3 gets a lot of hate because it was literally unplayable for years after release, its a genuinely good game. Gothic 2 is still goat though.

...

Especially the last sentence is extremely important to know when first playing this. This applies to all the permanent stat boost pickups such as stone tables, etc.

It is so unbelievably easy to fuck or at least really gimp your late game character when not following this hint. I believe it is terrible game design to have this shit in, because a new player just has no way to know that this might fuck him later when finding such an item early on.

Why does this webm look so bad, Is this on console?

How is it bait?
I completely agree with him, Gothic 3 is a great game with the patches

it's medicore at best

Not if you really like Gothic and the type of RPGs they are.
