The often overlooked Gothic series has been with us for almost ten years now. First released back in 2001, Piranha Bytes' Gothic games have always been unconventional in their nature. Less a pure role-playing game experience, and more a healthy mix of RPG, adventure, and action elements. The series has always been held in high regard by gamers and critics despite some rumblings about clunky mechanics.
Now, the series is back with a new developer, Spellbound, and a new game - Arcania: Gothic 4. In keeping with this sprit of rebirth, Arcania will be the first Gothic game not to be exclusive to the PC. It will be coming to the Xbox 360 and PS3.
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.
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!
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.
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.
