Gothic vs. Risen

[Excidium]

Didn't know that, p. cool

How do you guys go around the disgusting G1/2 controls? The mouse sensitivity specifically. Do I need a decade old mouse? Because lowering DPI and such doesn't seem to help.

I think I played both with keyboard only, it works pretty well that way. No mouse needed.

It's only a bit annoying when fighting wolves and other small creatures because you can't see shit

You need to not be an uncoordinated oaf. 'Disgusting?' The controls are fine and take maybe ten minutes to figure out.

I weep for people who have to play Gothic games with an english dub. You poor fucks

The dialog is awesome. In good versions that is.

There's nothing wrong with PB dialog in English. It's snarky and goofy and crass, which are all good things. It's very unique compared to others in the genre.

Just get a keyboard.

I haven't played Gothic in years, but I remember hating the VA for the main character. Between the voice and the goatee I constantly wanted bad things to happen to him.

I was more speaking about writing. I guess the VO isn't the best, but I'm nowhere near as sensitive to that as many others are. In fact I barely notice.

Writing? I don't remember having any problem with the writing. The translation was fine, probably even good.

It's weird about the VA though - normally I don't have any problem even with downright bad acting. Something about that guy's voice, though. Now that I think about it, I remember that he was the worst VA in the game, with lame, wooden delivery compared to everyone else, so he stood out as bad even more. I remember thinking, I guess they wanted to save money on this guy since he has the most lines. I don't know. Maybe I was molested as a baby by a guy with a voice like his and that's the only reason I find him so awful.

Two Worlds totally possesses quality VA and writing.

The ugly face, stupid hair, and general asshattery of the main character is so great in G1 and G2. He's such a dickbag. G3 lost that charm; Risen kinda regained it a bit. Made me lol when one of the Don's men was talking about dressing him up and having him work the brothels.

I just realized that Patty (the pirate wench, daughter of some famous pirate) in risen, is voiced by Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) and the inquisitor is voiced by Gollum (Andy Serkis).

Two Worlds 2 has EXCELLENT clothes and armor designs. Theirs designer is top notch couturier.

I actually really liked Two Worlds 2's main character. He was a shitty, snarky bastard, like a Gothic NPC sort of. That and the unique world design influences made that game pretty tolerable.

 

[Metro]

Two Worlds 2 was so painfully generic I couldn't take it for more than four or five hours.

I cannot comment on Two Worlds 2, since the first one more or less did in the whole series for me. Some may feel that the series had a certain charm to it, but once the protagonist started singing, 'It's raining, it's pouring...", while it rained in the first one, I vomited on my PC.

The first game is terrible, I only made it a few hours in. The second game is much more polished, and it has interesting settings (Africa, China and Louisiana basically) for an RPG. It also has a very interesting magic system where you collect and combine cards to create magic effects. I honestly have no idea how Metro could call the game "generic." I wouldn't call it great though, it's just interesting. Maybe it's "good" depending on your priorities.

Yeah, this! It felt like a really boring MMO in a single player costume - I couldn't stand it. In some sudden flash of retardedness I bought it again while it was on sale but couldn't get myself over even installing it again.

 

[Crooked Bee]

TW2 had a nice magic system - in theory, at least. In practice it was so broken that it ended up being dull. It's like they didn't have any time or inclination to balance it or flesh it out.

The exploration was much better in TW1, though. TW2 introduced too many quest-locked areas and doors, to the point that it ruined exploration completely for me. TW1, however, was properly open-world, and said world was dangerous and kinda fun to explore.

Both games aren't really worth playing, though, unless you're desperate for an open-world ARPG. In which case, if I had to choose, I'd choose to play TW1 rather than TW2.

You should try out Kingdoms of Amalur, I think you would like it...

I actually tried it on PS3

and writing.

Better than Gaider? VA is amateurish, just like majority of TW, and TW2, but the rest is still well done game.

 

[Metro]

I honestly have no idea how Metro could call the game "generic."

Because it is? No idea how you could push on after the boring savannah region. The caves/dungeons were all the same with mostly the same enemies and randomized loot chests.

 

[Vault Dweller]

Vanilla G2 is like... an 8/10. Easily. NotR makes me want to murder babies and sacrifice them to the pagan German gods in hopes PB gets off their asses and redoes its glory once more. So, basically, I think it's a great game.

This.

Gothic 2 w/NotR is glorious, probably one of the best sandbox RPGs ever made. Risen 2 is anything but.

Was the stupid horse race in TW2? I remember some timed quest where u had to run from A to B or something. Frustrating as hell...
