Did they not even play their own game when Gothic 3 was released then?

Have they 'fixed' 3 yet?

Whats wrong with 3? Playing it at the moment and it seems great. Although it has it's bugs.

It was almost unplayable when I tried it. You'd hope there'd be at least 999999999999999 patches for it now though.

When it was first released half the people I knew that bought it was completely unable to play it because of bugs, juttering, crashing, 30 minute loading times etc etc. I personally had ~5fps on low settings 800x600 with huge amounts of juttering.

As said above though theres been a ton of patches now.

Tried running it on my old Sempron 2800, 1gb RAM and an AGP X700. Less than 1fps. Recently built a new machine (in sig) and it runs very well. Even in Vista 64. Crashes now and then, usually on saving but doesn't really bother me that much.

I only ever played Gothic 1 and I loved it. Never got round to playing any of the others. Are they worth a pick up ?

Gothic 2 was quite good i thought. Worth £5 ish if you can find it for that.

Awseome - can't wait - played 2 and 3 and loved them both - 3 is perfectly fine now (was from the 1st patch on) - you just have to follow the guide to optimize the game for your machine - I actually like the fact that you can set the quality to suit your machine without relying on the puny controls many games give you - a bit like Stalker really - Awesome game if you are willing to put in the time tweaking it
