IGN writes: "The Gothic series has undergone big changes in recent times. For the first three iterations, the Piranha Bytes-developed open-world role-playing fantasy franchise was for the PC crowd only. More specifically, it was built for the type of gamer that dislikes direction, catering more to those who prefer making their own decisions, exploring and discovering new lands and mechanics at their own pace. It wasn't user friendly, but attracted a user base so dedicated that fans continued to patch the tragically underdeveloped Gothic 3 after Piranha Bytes had moved on".
Generic world, dumb NPCs, and forgettable story, but can it still be fun? Read all about it here.
One man's bad game is another man's good game.
While many will disagree with the author, i will say that i am actually interested to get Arcania now. It was on my mind a while ago but i forgot all about it. Hopefully its a good game.
Just don't expect a top-tier premier RPG and hopefully you'll have fun with it - thanks for the comment!
As long as you don't expect a AAA top-tier RPG there's a lot of fun to be had in Arcania. It's a great game to play with headphones on, curtains closed and for extended play sessions - If you pick it up I hope you enjoy it!
But I expect AAA quality, and Arcania doesn't have that. Witcher 3 is undeniably better than Arcania, check ANY review and see, you are one of a billion to like Arcania better, but I don't take it from you, play what you will...
I could probably list 10 reasons why The Witcher 3 is better than every oher game ever made. But at the end of the day it will still only be an opinion and not objective fact.
You should do it! I'd love to read an article like that.. It's a really good game and there's a lot to love about TW3, but parts of it didn't quite click with me - thanks for commenting!
How can someone say, that a dense story is bad and straightforward story is good? I didn't even read the rest, he is just wrong.
I just didn't really know what was going on in TW3 and this comes from someone who has played the first 2 games (which had superior stories imho)The story was decent but the pacing was off and it was abit all over the place - thanks for commenting though!
The story was best of all the series IMHO, I can't believe someone can actually say, that dense story is a disdvantage, that game is huge, what did you expect, it's like saying, that you don't like your salary because it is too big... :facepalm:
