I am a huge fan of the Gothic series...i love those games...love everything about them...i even loved gothic 3 even though it was a bloody mess...to get to the point...what do you think about the upcoming project Arcania: A Gothic Tale?...do you think it will be good?...why good?...do you think it will be bad?...why bad?...what do you think about the change to Deepsilver?...Have you seen the gameplay trailers?...what do you think about them?...are you excited about the game or not?...discuss your oppinions with other Gothic fans like myself. Here's my oppinion. From what i've seen i really don't know how to feel or what to expect...At first the change to Deepsilver got me thinking a little bit...okay it got me thinking a lot...what are their experience with this kind of games?...They have literally no experience with the Gothic series so how will they find their way to making another hardcore part of this game?...then i played Forsaken Gods and i uninstalled it when i started walking around with an arrow in my head and arm and they weren't planning on falling off...and on top of that when i transformed into a scavenger the arrows were still there but now guess what...i wasn't able to transform back...yup...i loaded it a couple of times and the same exact outcome...i was hugely dissapointed...Then Risen came out...i played it and have to say...i absolute to the f*cking ly loved it...hands down loved it...best rpg of the year...after playing it i was actually very grateful for spellbound being involved believe it or not :)...than i saw some gameplay videos on youtube and i gotta say...i really don't know what to expect...all that flashing sword power attack s*it...man i was very dissapointed because it looks just like another hack and slash game...and that is EXACTLY what Gothic is NOT...i was very dissapointed...as you all may already know Arcania was supposed to drop this year but it got postponed to 2010...and after playing Forsaken Gods i really can't help but wonder...Do they want to work on it a lot more and hit the jackpot this time?...Or is the game an utter dissapointment and they have to give more money just to see the project through?...share your oppinions with everybody right here...Thank you and cheers to all the Gothic lovers.
To me, Arcania could shape up to be a great RPG from what i have seen. But I really doubt that I will be able to accept it as a Gothic game. I guess the spiritual successor Risen will be the better experience for those seeking for the real Gothic experience in the end.
I was traking the game andt then i watched a game developer walktrough at youtube and i looked a joke. I mean seriously, i did like two words but Arcania did not look even that good judging by that video. Well i gotta see more features.
Same thing here when i saw those gameplay videos i was absolutely shocked...they made Gothic everything that Gothic is not supposed to be...i mean c'mon everybody's looking for a tough hardcore rpg not just another run around and kill everybody because they are too weak game...Gothic was made for the hardcore audience people who like challenges and people who like to think before going into a 1 on 5 battle...because it's like in Gothic even if you are friggin level 70 and you go up against 8 scavengers you'll get your ass handed to you on a silver platter...and all this just looks i don't know...bad...They are trying to attract a bigger audience and with that i really think they will mess the game up...because now the game will include a tracker as i've read...when you get a mission you just activate the map and the map leads your ass to where you are supposed to go...i mean c'mon...i like the game because when someone says go southwest and find a bug you have to literally rely on your compass and spend hours and hours of searching for something...i kow you can turn the tracker off but for me even thinking to put a tracker into Gothic means that they want to make the game for everyone...and that is not a good thing since even Gothic developers are proud of caling the game a Hardcore Rpg...And shiny blue sword that kills a troll with one blow and a tracker...just not Hardcore Rpg...I really hope they make another good game like gothic 2 which is the best in the series for me...and not make a friggin fable game.
