Arcania: Gothic 4 - First Review

The first review for Arcania: Gothic 4 is available. And it's not that good...

OlvaR4951d ago

if it's not that good why on earth would you give it almost 8 out of 10!?

DelbertGrady4951d ago

Everything below 8/10 = fail according to some nutjobs.

toaster4951d ago (Edited 4951d ago )

Foreal man, a 6/10 is enough for me to consider a purchase. People have to learn to lower their expectations and standards.

MrMccormo4951d ago

8/10 is fantastic! I'm glad to see this game (so far) has gottten good scores. I've played Gothic 2 and 3 and both were cool.

Perjoss4951d ago

EDGE seems to be the only guys with the balls to give an average game a 5/10. Most other reviewers go for 7 and 8 when games are average.

kancerkid4951d ago

Hmmm... May want to purchase this now since I think Two Worlds II does not look as good as everyone is making it out to look, and The Witcher 2 may or may not come to consoles.

From the demo I played on the PC I would have given it an 80-85/100. Sounds like a legit review to me.

After playing the X360 demo however... I would have given it much less due to lower quality visuals and clunky controls.

ATi_Elite4951d ago

This game obviously plays better on the PC but seriously takes a back seat to The Witcher 2 and Two Worlds 2.

someone mentioned a game lower than a 8/10 is FAIL, I agree.

For $40 PC or $60 console games need to be 8, 9, or 10's before I spend my hard earn cash.

RyuDrinksTheDew4951d ago

a 7.9 is what i expected.

definitely going to purchase. i need more action rpgs.

gamerdude1324951d ago

How is it not that good", yet gets an 8? I can't read the review cause no one decided the translate it, but the description is misleading as crap. Did anyone report that description while this was awaiting approval?

Lowered Expectations: Arcania: Gothic 4

Generic world, dumb NPCs, and forgettable story, but can it still be fun? Read all about it here.

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.

FTLmaster3153d ago

Just don't expect a top-tier premier RPG and hopefully you'll have fun with it - thanks for the comment!

FTLmaster3154d ago

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!

Adamiak3153d ago

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...

TheCelestial3154d ago

While everyone is entitled to their opinion; YOU ARE WRONG!

ArchangelMike3153d ago

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.

FTLmaster3153d ago

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!

Adamiak3153d ago

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.

FTLmaster3153d ago

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!

Adamiak3153d ago

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:
