First time ever? Wasn't the abomination that is Arcania already from a different character's point of view?

10+ hours? This shit better be 10 fucking dollars then. Actually fuck that, overprice that and lose sales.I hope you rotten bastards all sink to the depths along with this atrocity.

A new threat casts its shadow over the Southern Isles. A mysterious demon, consumed by hatred, terrifies the population and pools his force against the coastal city of Setarrif. The dramatic situation exacerbates after a volcanic eruption in the mountains nearby. Meanwhile, a group of mysterious terrorist lead by a man out for revenge is threatening to detonate a "dirty bomb" in the middle of this coastal paradise. As the threat levels escalate, an undead horde and a meteorite threat become apparent as the breathable air suddenly becomes scarce and the sea becomes polluted by a mysterious green mineral that begins to grow at an exponential rate. Cats and dogs begin living together in peace as it becomes apparent that this is a yet another apocalypse scenario, however, this time the twist is that the gravitational fields are all messed up and the planet is slowly drifting into the sun as the moon is slowly drifting towards the planet to collapse upon it. Adverb definite article adjective noun verbs nouns preposition pronoun adjectivest noun conjunction adverbly verbs definite article adjective noun.

Fixed to be more EXTREME and generic.

CAN'T FUCKING WAIT!!!!

 

[MicoSelva]

Instant RPGOTY 2011. May be even better than DA2, ME3 and Skyrim combined!

Also: Darth Roxor, prepare to write another review

 

[Konjad]

I can't wait for Roxxor's review!

 

[Azrael the cat]

So AP can't get DLC or an expansion, and this pile of shite gets a full standalone? Fuuuccckkkk.

 

[Varn]

Where the fuck did you get "critically acclaimed" from? The game is a stinking pile of Cat Shit.

 

[Silellak]

I can't wait for Roxxor's review!

10 hours of compelling gameplay. Thats a 10 hour improvement from the original.

 

[Darth Roxor]

GOTY 2011 dead ahead.

 

[Sceptic]

Review of the Year 2011 dead ahead.

Fixed

Can't wait!

(hint hint)

What is up with that capital A at the end of ArcaniA? And didn't JoWood declare bankruptcy? ARE THEY NOT DEAD YET??

for the very first time players can experience the compelling storyline from a different character’s point of view!

Import your character from ArcaniA - Gothic 4 or choose a predefined archetype

wat

 

[sgc_meltdown]

I shall wait for Arcania: Gold edition so that I may have the convenience of installing both games at the same time.

 

[moraes]

What is up with that capital A at the end of ArcaniA?

It's a black metal thing.

 

[Merkwürdigliebe]

I shall wait for Arcania: Gold edition so that I may have the convenience of uninstalling both games at the same time.

Fixed that for you.

Any way I'm tempted to try this game to see if it really can be the worst game evar, or if it is merely bad.

Most developers (and sadly many players) these days consider ten hours to be an acceptable length for a $50 game.

But wasn't Jowood supposed to be like, bankrupt?

Arcania: Gothic 4 Fall of Turdiff

But wasn't Jowood supposed to be like, bankrupt?

Yes they were. Gothic 4 was supposed to be the nail int he coffin.

What is up with that capital A at the end of ArcaniA? And didn't JoWood declare bankruptcy? ARE THEY NOT DEAD YET??

They have 3 more months(2 left) to find capitalisation. They have also decided to sue Koch Media for 2 million. Luckily even if they win I can't see 2 million helping them all that much.

So AP can't get DLC or an expansion, and this pile of shite gets a full standalone? Fuuuccckkkk.

For all it's faults, AP like The Witcher made a tight and complete story without the obvious elements that scream "insert DLC/expansion here". Arcania has, true to form, one of the most obvious "location for DLC/expansion" and shitty ending without closure and instead: "evil guy plotting immediate evil plot" ending that I've seen.

Fingers crossed that they don't find any money and die a horrible death as karma for having ruined the Gothic name.

 

[Angthoron]

I'm surprised it's made by Spellbound though, shouldn't they have found some Indian blokes to code it out of macaroni?

 

[Sceptic]

Fun fact: I was going through my ISO collection over the weekend and Forsaken Gods was in there, for reasons I cannot fathom. Got prompty deleted obviously.
