Not only did they screw with the graphics, a lack of story, an absurdly terrible -if not to say painstakingly illogical- combat system. I love how you put into words that the towns in G3 appear artificial, like they were blatantly placed there by throwing darts onto a G3 world map rather than actually considering the terrain. G2, especially for its time, was simply brilliant and somehow the developers have managed to ruin the art they once stood for. Oh and annoyance, insult and a certain vacuum that makes my head feel empty… I could go on. But just thinking of G3 subliminally conjures not only a lack of motivation but many negative emotions. I was just now considering to play Gothic 3 again since I am through with Gothic 2 NOTR (for the 15th time or so). We all saw that they got to the roots with Risen and even Risen 2. It’s a large game and is probably unhuman to create incredible plots, locations with strong background story, npcs with individual personalities in all the locations etc. There is nothing to blame Piranha Bytes for how bad Gothic 3 is. Then the sounds of the orcs that are fighting are killing any sense of realism. And the fighting music is beyond terrible. Not to say that it becomes frustrating that the music changes every time you get into a fight. I say that it’s really annoying and is far away from the epic music from Gothic 1 and 2. You know that you won’t get anything powerful except thrash loot that is only good so you can sell it to get gold.ĥ. That’s not fun at all.Īnd chest loots are terrible. And at least 30 hours I only played with that Flame sword. I remember that when I played the game for the first time, during about 40 hours, I only got two or three weapons. In Gothic 3 you get to loot all kind of useless weapons, rings and items. You knew that when you get better, learn to use the weapons / gain strenght, you will perform excellent vs. Even the combat system from Gothic 1 was better. You die with the feeling that you didn’t do any mistake, this is how the game works. You just keep clicking (attacking) and besides alternating left and right click, there is nothing to do. It looks artificial, doesn’t have any sense of realism, challenge or logic. And then you get a lack of motivation to continue because you don’t know what exactly to do, why you do all these side quests and why you gain level and improve your character.ģ. You can play the game for 40 hours and feel that you only do side quests. An open world game is nice if the towns and all the places wouldn’t look artificial. Lack of story, main quests and motivation for the player. It feels like you play a broken game and it really hurts the game’s atmosphere.īesides these, the game still gets stuck for a few seconds and has frame-rate drops every once in a while, even on a very powerful PC with 8 gigabytes of ram.Ģ. The mountains and the hills are suffering from the same things, they get normal textures only when you get closer to them. The water texture is missing, you get to see only a small portion of it. I’ve played Gothic 3 during the years with 3 or 4 video cards and with all, the game had the same issue with far landscape textures. Here are the points that demonstrate that Gothic 3 was a fail:ġ. I have tried to replay Gothic 3 after installing the latest community patch but the game is still unplayable.
