G3 worth it ?

Hey.

I remember myself being a massive Gothic series fan. 1 & 2 took countless hours of my life, 2 especially, earning it's place of one of the best games I've ever played.

Then came school, etc. Had no time basically. G3 and 4 are already out, but from what I've heard, Arcania sucked ass so im gonna pass on that one.

What about Gothic 3 though ? Is the atmosphere still the same ? All the nostalgia, etc, ?

So basically, is it worth buying it ?

Buy "risen" instead. One of the best games of 2009

Gothic 3 is massive. Maybe a bit too big for me. I tend to play it for a few weeks then get fed up but always go back to it.
Risen is much smaller but much more fun. Gothic is very free form, do what you like.

The thing with G3 for me was It was buggy as hell until I downloaded a lot of the patches and community updates, even after that it was never really fixed, I ran into one or two bugged quests and then finally one day when I started it up nothing would load in the world, e.g I could walk to where a town should be and there would be nothing there, I could see the npcs but it was a maze of invisible walls. I asked around for a fix but it turned out my save was corrupt, never bothered to go back after that.

It was ok from what I played, but it was missing something, can't quite put my finger on it. I enjoyed the first two games more tbh.
