Arcania has better graphics than Dragon age!

the new gothic game looks way better than Dragon age, in the environment part that is.

I wish dragon age had had more ground foliage, better and more vegetation. which it lacked.

Even Risen had a better environment look than dragon age. I dont know why but these 2 games beat the crap out of dragon age for that part. Dragon age is better for the rest but when you are outside Risen and Arcania shine and the immersion is awesome because of that.

I do not know why Bioware did not put more attention to that part of the game. It to be the same deal with dragon age 2. Everything shines and is awesome except the vegetation....sad really...

cheers!

True, but Dragon Age is very pretty in isometric view.

It's strange though, I'm a huge Gothic fan and yet I have zero hype for Arcaniaohthemanatee

I feel the same way. Must be because Piranha Bytes isn't the developer.

Looks great.

I played the demo and It got me interested, I liked it because it seemed to be kind of like Risen.dannenissan2

If you don't already know, Risen was made by the developers of the first three Gothic games. So Risen is almost an unofficial Gothic 4 anyway.

Doesn't really take alot to beat the graphics in DA:O

I thought the game started out slow but once you got into the cave it picked up quite a bit...i can see this being a pretty good game.

Combat was waaaaay too easy; It's like the game play was designed for 12 year olds with ADHD. Hidden walls that inhibit free travel; I can't even wade through a pond? Horrible voice acting and animations (granted previous Gothic games had bad animations); That witch you meet made me cringe. Not because she was scary. I cringed because the voice acting was absolutely atrocious.

In short, this didn't feel like a Gothic game to me. That's why I'm not excited about Arcania. The only positive thing I can say about it is that the game performs very well on my system and I found no glitches or bugs in the demo.

Yea, it was really bad, she is what really made me aware of how bad the voice acting was. I just saw potential in the combat and if there is good armor,weapons, spell upgrades it seemed like a game I would enjoy.

Because it actually wasn't that important.
