I'm looking to get some RPG and I narrowed it down to those two. My first question is, how is Gothic 4: Arcania from an objective point of view? I know Gothic fanboys found it to be a disappointment but how is it without looking back on the previous games? I've played Gothic 2 for a while back in the day when it was released for some time and that's about all I got from the series, so I wouldn't be getting this as a sequel, rather a stand alone game. The second question is, obviously, which one would you recommend?

Just to point out, I haven't played the first Witcher either, so both games would be a new thing to me instead of sequels.

ಠ_ಠ @ the Comparison.

Arcania has so many problems, i don't even know where to start.

But i'll narrow them down to 3:

1)The Story makes absolutely no Sense

2)A lot of times, it's extremely Lineal

3)Not only is the combat a Joke, but the Game is Ridiculously easy.

The Witcher 2 beats it in EVERY possible way.

Gothic4 is one of the worst rpgs ive ever played and a slap across the face of fans of Gothic1-3. Even if it was named something else, lets say "SLAYER", it would still be one of the worst rpgs ive played in 20+ years, STAY AWAY! Gothic4 sucks as a Gothic game yes, but it sucks even worse as an rpg.

The Witcher2 is amazing, get that!


Witcher 2 = 9/10

Gothci4 = 2/10

That should help you

The Witcher 2, I can't stress this enough, The Witcher 2.

Did I forget to mention that you should get... The Witcher 2?

Gothic 4is really bad and I'm not a Gothic fan. The game is horribly optimized, bad voicing acting, this game doesn't even look good and the combat is clunky. I'm very easy to please and I can overlook many faults in order to enjoy a game but with Gothic 4, I can't, it's just bad. I got the game for free and I feel ripped off. Now I can't do a comparison, as I haven't played the Witcher 2, but from what I've seen of gameplay footage and reviews, Witcher 2 is the superior choice, hands down.

Witcher 2 all day. Arcania is a nice visual treat imo, but still doesn't compare to Witcher 2 (even in visuals, no contest.)

I really tried to like Gothic 4. It's not unplayably bad, but it's exceptionally easy and bland - I ended up losing interest very quickly. I honestly preferred Two Worlds over it, and that game was panned even harder. Meanwhile, The Witcher 2 is amazing, so it gets an easy recommendation from me.

I had hopes from Arcania after playing Gothic 3 but the game was terrible and i was completely disappointed.

I don't need to say Witcher 2 just the best RPG for 2011.

Witcher 2 by a landslide. But play Witcher 1 first or read through the story because otherwise you may not understand some of the things that happen in 2.
