You people there say that Risen is a good or great game?
ARE YOU BLIND OF LOVE (with P.B) OR SOMETHING LIKE THIS?
When there are in the market excellent games like Dragon Age or Witcher, a few wears before, technically premium and with excellent graphics, story, characters etc you will spent money and time in a cheap, unattractive, technically primitive bad copy of Gothic 1 or 2 ( at least they were fresh for their time be despite their problems - mostly technical).
That its NOT AS BUGY AS Gothic 1-2-3, make it by itself, an excellent game?
ARE YOU NUTS?
Nnnooo!! SniffCodex? No way. You go here:
Saying that Risen is more enjoyable than Witcher isn't funny but tragic.:lol:éh, funny guy.
Personally, I enjoyed Risen more than The Witcher. Sure, The Witcher story is superior, but I just didnt like its gameplay. I got tired of the game somewhere in a marsh full of insta-kill worms. Tough fights too based around trying to figure out which potion to use. Risen chapters 1 & 2 are excellent, they really manage to bring alive the city and other important parts of the game. They are much better at it than Dragon Age. Beside, some people (lot of them, I would say) here do have completed The Witcher and DA… so playing these games instead arent really alternatives. And I found Risen graphics pretty good. It's a game that is certainly worth playing.
I got it for Xmas, and need to install it. But still working on my first playthrough of DA. Almost to landsmeet. I'll need a break from RPGs once done with DA….
Must finish……
It doesn't help that I have to try out every dialogue path….
FIX: that's a bit of an exaggeration… only the ones that are easy to quick reload.
You don't have to do that. Only a few options are available in every path. Many answers goes to the same direction.
If you use your sense and your imagination , you can avoid many unnecessary backwards.
+----------+so you say that i don't use my sense? Thanks for the insult.
I'd take Gothic 1&2 over The Witcher, but TW is far better than Gothic 3 or Risen imo.
Playing The Witcher was like being on a guided tour at the Magic Kingdom… with zombies. You go where they tell you and they strap you in real tight.
For Gothic 3 you get a normal day at the Magic Kingdom plus Epcot.
I also don't get why people keep calling its visuals beautiful. Heavily modded Oblivion, Fallout 3 and even friggin' Gothic 3 look better to me. Some of the faces in Risen were downright atrocious and straight outta 2002, Brogar being one shining example.
