''In the menus you have get the feeling that the console version has been neglected.''

:(

Poor console players

Sexius Maximus4951d ago

I agree about the menus, among other things. I played the demo. I REALLY wanted to like it, but it would have to be $30 or less for me to even consider it. I graphics aren't terrible, but the mechanics need a lot of work.

kancerkid4951d ago

I actually enjoyed the menus. Not too different from that of Oblivion.

bumnut4951d ago

good, its about time consoles got a dumbed down pc port instead of the opposite

maniac764951d ago

i seen pc footage of last one,i bet they dont use the ps3 as well and make it look xbox compat

RIPSKATEDESTROY4951d ago

bragging about beeing first with a review only means you have rushed through a game... not a good thing

Lacky4951d ago

videogameszone is a popular german magazine.. and since the game is from germany they probably had weeks to play it..

ASSASSYN 36o4951d ago

The demo was a buggy mess. I can't imagine what the full game is like. And who cares about this game with Fallout Vegas dropping next week with a midnight launch.

Elven64951d ago

Those who want a deeper/different experience might not want Fallout: NV? Or if they like RPG's, they can buy both?

ASSASSYN 36o4951d ago

It probably is a good rpg. But, fallout had me accumulate 500+ hours of gameplay. And I am sure Vegas will do they same. This game however wouldn't come close. Just because you like RPGs doesn't mean you should buy crap.

SuperSaiyan44951d ago (Edited 4951d ago )

It was way better than two worlds and the demo lasted for ages, also the visuals were acceptable, minor issue with voice versus subtitle info but thats minor.

Overall I will be getting this game.

Fallout vegas is just a rehash of fallout 3 in a different place i think ill get that when its in the bargain bin.

kancerkid4951d ago

Once the demo got to the cave, I was totally floored. Loved every moment of it from then on out. Combat was enjoyable, graphics were quite good if you ask me, and so much variety in enemies.

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.

FTLmaster3154d 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!

ArchangelMike3154d 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.

FTLmaster3154d 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!

Adamiak3154d 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.

FTLmaster3154d 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:
