Youtubers have the game now.

Forget this trash this is now a Gothic 2 thread

No, advertiser man. I follow the series but frankly there's nothing enticing about this entry.

>science fantasy
Disgusting. Would it kill them to make another low-fantasy RPG with a good atmosphere like Gothic 1?

yes

Next year for like three bucks.

Congratulations for making the faces look worse than in Andromeda

I don't know how that's possible

No, it's not.

This

So will these nazi fucks ever recapture the lightning that made Gothic 1 and 2 so good or have they completely lost it?

Looks cool but I don't like the setting

I don't really care about setting tbqh, just let the flies fuck my shit up first few levels so i can return and slap the shit out of them later and i'm all set.

I heard it's bugged as fuck and shitty.

I find it difficult to get over having to play a generic-looking bald marine again, especially in a RPG. I want at least SOME visual character customization or just characters to choose from.
I got over that in Gothic 1, 2 and Risen 1, ended up enjoying the games a lot, but the games these guys have been making haven't been very good lately.

>shit everything
>graphics
>animation
>VA
>sound effects

my god why is everything from germanistan that is software so fucking horrible. stick to machining and fabrication you stupud autist.

>combat straight out of Risen

Holy shit can these morons do anything right.

I'm going to play it for a bit if only because I did enjoy Risen 3. I know it's pretty bland in comparison to Risen 1 which was already not as good as Gothic 2 or 1 but still I managed to get some enjoyment out of it. Still I wish that instead of just changing the setting, they got out of this "abusing the same core mechanics" game they got going.

>autoaiming melee combat
Down the shitter it goes.

why are the graphics so shitty

it looks like someone just glued together a bunch of unity assets

Looks like complete garbage.
Is spellcasting still as gutted as in Risen games?

next time you try to shill post the name of the game too

It's gonna be shit. PB had luck with Gothic 1 and 2, all their other games are shit.
Inb4
>B-but Risen

It's trash.

That's how they roll. They really don't know how to get that right, I'm guessing all they really know is how to make good environments and then they throw in the same stuff they used with previous releases, down to the physics and animations. In many aspects they're still stuck in the last decade.

And yeah to autistic people that keep arguing that other new modern games introduce shitty mechanics, guess what, you can keep the same concepts. Concepts.

I'm concerned about the clash of sci-fi, postapocaliptica and straight fantasy on the screenshots. Seems like it'll probably be a dumb mess visually. You could merge any combination of two of those, but all three at the same time will just be stupid.

I've only just beat Gothic 1, I've got a while to go before I manage to get through the whole catalogue.

You can do all three, but you'd use one for an endgame twist - like Might and Magic regularly going full sci-fi, or half the 90s games going Giger in the last batch of levels.

Risen 1 had the best combat out of all Gothic games tho

Risen was great, fuck off. And in all of their games, even bad ones, they always had a fantastic map design, proving it wasn't a fluke.

It's literally Gothic with a Sci fi setting. PB is fucking retarded and they can't do anything other than copy the same game over and over.

>It's literally Gothic with a Sci fi setting.

Elex has nothing in common with Gothic

Skip Gothic 3, it's pile of garbage even with the community patch.

My goal is to shitpost so much that Elex become regonizable by its screenshots.

And if you are a gamer you should know that it was Elex I was talking about.

>it looks like someone just glued together a bunch of unity assets

That's the most accurate comment about this game.

But those examples are mixing two. You can easily take two styles and end up with coherent thing, it's when you have three it makes no sense.

Map design doesn't redeem the shitty combat which is what you're doing 90% of the time.

Gothic with a sci-fi setting sounds great, though.

This looks more like some sci-fi assets thrown onto a generic map.

This looks like fucking trash

I've heard. I even got ArcaniA in the bundle. I'll probably play them anyway just to discuss the series as a whole. Gives you a more nuanced perspective and I don't have to be sober to do it.

Now play Gothic 2 with NoTR which is much better than Gothic 1 and then you've played all of PB games that are worth playing

Reminds me of Two Worlds.

That combat is good for the kinds of games they are. It's slow and technical, that's precisely what the entire game is like.

Risen 1 is great you dumb nigger

Gothic 2 thread

I had way more fun with Two Worlds than it deserved.

Arcania and its standalone expansion are viewed as cash grabs.

Damn dude, don't insult the game TOO much, i's not that bad

The combat in Gothic 2 was better than in all following games.
You can kill all humans in Risen by simply circling and hitting them cause the AI is retarded.

I'll be disappointed if there's no mission asking you to sweep the floor at some point.

first one or the second?

First, yet to get around to playing the second. Backlog be long.

That's literally what they have these days, map design.

Also chapter 3 onwards in that game is like taking a shit on a nice cup of coffee. It felt just like that. I enjoyed the first 2 chapters a lot and then it got really fucking painful to play. It's sad because that means I want to replay it, but don't want to, because I'm reminded 50% of that game is complete and utter garbage that's going to leave a poor taste in my mouth for a while.

In contrast, Risen 3 wasn't as good at the beginning, but it was consistent in its mediocre quality. If you could go through the first 10 hours of the game then you could go through the rest. I find that more replayable, and honestly it's shallow as it can get.

Yeah. I know their games look pretty bad, but they're still really enjoyable in their own way

Already preordered. Will be posting screenshots from it next week.

>That's literally what they have these days, map design.
Map design is a lost art these days. Especially in RPGs.

All they gotta do is pair up their skills with a developer who can handle everything else.

I wanted to play through Risen 3, but Patty bugged out and vanished for me when I was on the ship. After that I got tired of it and quit.

I appreciated her plot evolution.

Risen 1 is some sad Bioware-tier modelling.

2 and 3 are both great though.

And then they fucked it up again with ELEX. Seriously looking at those faces in a game where you spend a lot of time talking to NPCs isn't going to go well. Whatever happened to whoever designed the ones in Risen 3?

I could be wrong but doesn't she leave the crew every now and then to gather some information about your father's treasures?

They ditched the open approach after Risen 1 because consoles couldn't handle it. It let them focus on graphics more because islands were separated by loading, for example.

>german video games
Fucking wew lad. German is old poland of video games.

I wanted to play first the new south park game but After watching the first review I will get Elex first

Risen 3 was pretty decent but the combat still got boring fast. I absolutely loved the ghostly wizard dodge thing though.

I'm just surprised they have female characters. It was a running joke for a long time how they couldn't model them in Gothics.

Indeed there's a section where she kinda fucks off.

Being open-world might just be the thing I care about the least in videogames, as long as it doesn't have fucking Deus Ex: Invisible War tier areas and loading times.

I think she does, but in my case she just disappeared without warning right after a ship battle with a sea monster.

Looks like the joke is coming back.

The combat looks like dogshit. It's Risen 3 like trash instead of the drastically superior Risen 1 system.

When is this out?

youtube.com/watch?v=BSYxfVZjweI

Gameplay without commentary.

I don't think anyone told them that it's not the best idea to open with a full character spin on a 30FPS game/video.

Half of the characters honestly looked like some inbred rednecks.

17.10

OWO What's this?

Do they expect this to be a smash hit? I feel kinda bad for these devs.

>skin just changes at the neck
Is this a gamebryo game or what?

>forsooth the taint!

You could kill all enemies except for Dragons and trolls in Gothic 2 by doing consecutive left and right swipes. Just because you didn't notice it back then, doesn't mean it was any different from other games.

While the other half looks like as if they were from Gag Manga Biyori.

They have niche fanbase that enjoy their games for what they are, doubt they expect it to be hit or anything close to it, but it will sell somewhat decent and that's all that they need to.

>shit combat
>shit setting
>kektastic bethesda graphix
>spees marine because having your own character is a bad thing for deep risen tier narrative

Yeah fuck this.

Gothic 3 is fucking amazing with patch, you filthy faggot fuck, go back to Skyrim with your shit taste.

I think they expect to make money. You see games like Cyanide and Spiders' RPGs still turning a profit so why the hell not for Piranha Bytes as well?

This triggers me greatly. Instead of hyping me for the game, it just pisses me off that some shit tier cuntuber can play the game before I can. Definitely corsairing it now

>ruined characters from G1 and G2
>mmo quests everywhere
>Varant is flat as a pancake and boring as shit, Nordmar is mountain atop of a mountain atop of a mountain and boring as shit
>retarded stunlock combat
>uninteresting magic
>fucking amazing

Get your brain checked you dumb monkey, even Skyrim is better than this pile of shit and i fucking hate that game.

Gothic 3 is trash. It's basically an enemy spam with the same enemies over and over.
The ending fucking sucks and is anti climactic.
The world feels empty and the game feels unfinished.

>Literally Frank Herbert's Dune bitch's costume when she joins you
>No option to get her to revert to something not retarded
>All for some intended emotional payoff that never happens
>Assassin Bitch, other bangable, is some Bioware model with a collapsed head

>Is this a gamebryo game or what?

You mean is this an every game fucking ever, right?

Pretty much every game with a focus on characters for the last decade has had a separate head for the mesh to allow the devs to give it it's own dedicated texture maps.

they don't know anything, michael hoge was the whole fucking studio, and you can clearly see that every game after he left was an absolute shitfest

I just can't even see the point of these faggots making money out of his stupid face plastered on gameplays nor the privilege of a free copy of the game.
Anyway, anyone knows if this game's gonna support ultrawide?

What did they mean by this?

Literally autism.

You are not their audience anymore.

What, it's not like they scaled up. They're marketing to the same audience of niche losers who like euro RPGs. This isn't a mass Western thing of "shh only loot boxes now".

>pleasant to look at

Yeah after some patching and crossing your fingers really hard that it works and that, in the event that it doesn't work and fucks up your camera you're able to quit the fucking game

Watched a stream. Looks fine. Will buy it when it is at around 10 bucks.

What mod is that in G2 screenshot?

DX11, l'hiver

gothic 2 inventory isnt something you can be proud of, Risen 1 already did it better

thanks senpai
