Risen 3: Titan Lords

[imweasel]

I watched the combat in the second video... and I am not really impressed. It looks like Risen 2 all over.

The tough and rewarding combat was one of the best things in Risen 1. Fuck button mashing. Hopefully the combat improves as you advance in Risen 3.

Part 3 of the let'play video.

[Cyberarmy]

Also a fucking ugly minimap... First game they have minimap I think, another terrible decision.

 

[toro]

Sweet Mother of God! That combat system is an abomination. I cannot ...

 

[Crooked Bee]

Aufgepasst!

 

[adddeed]

Looking good, cant wait :D

If this three part preview is the "tutorial" part before the protags soul is stolen and he loses all his abilities, or what ever the plotline was, it's looks quite long even if ignoring the previewers fucking around with mussels, ducks and armadillos.

 

[DalekFlay]

Corridors everywhere!!!

Risen sells like shit on consoles as far as I know, one really has to wonder why they bother.

 

[Modron]

Easier to design? Or perhaps they are just a European version of Firaxis as some others have demonstrated a healthy chunk of the original talent has left/died.

 

[Darth Roxor]

That monster-attack blocking

Them stunlocks

Them companions killing everything for you even when you suck

Them slooooooooow aaaaaaaaaaaaass ri2eeeeeeeeeeen animaaaaaashuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuns

That free plundering of houses

At least... it looked like... there was... some stuff to do... around that koboldmine...?

IZ TERRIBL



also gotta love all those stinky labourer gnomes with arab names

 

[Old Hans]

I'm seriously sick of caves

 

[Kem0sabe]

That looks horrible, seriously...not a single redeeming quality.

 

[MicoSelva]

That looks horrible, seriously...not a single redeeming quality.

Darth Roxor has already proven you wrong:

stinky labourer gnomes with arab names

 

[Doctor Sbaitso]

LOL @1:50, the guy power charges an attack to hit the big bug and when he releases it he immediately auto-turns 180 degrees and destroys the little birdie flapping around behind him.

 

[Modron]

Yeah combat did not look that enticing but then again under-leveled combat in every pb game was like that once you get that combination of weapon damage + strength that overcomes DR then they tend to pick up. Honestly any LP of any Gothic game tends to start off slow. Will wait for more videos/KKK before I write it off.

 

[DefJam101]

how did we get here

why is this happening

why

how

 

[Darth Roxor]

but then again under-leveled combat in every pb game was like that

 

[harhar!]

- I like the dialogue that took place after he killed the animal behind the house. It is at least one nice thing that they introduced with R2/R3.
- You can turn off the minimap in the options btw.
- The combat looks shitty but less shitty than R2 if you can turn off the Arcaniaglow. That's something I guess.
- The NPC reactions really suck. Why do they have such a strong case of amnesia after we just bashed their face in? Why not instead have someone like Magnus be a "Lord Andre" and implement some scrolls of amnesia?

Part 4...

Hopefully we will see something awesome in the video. Crossing my fingers...

Spoiler

 

[Darth Roxor]

Part 4...

Ri2en all over again. No fighting and corridor islands/caves and suddenly it looks much better.

Also, I have to say they improved character animations (especially in dialogue) a lot, compared to all the other PB games which were very infamous in that regard.

 

[Metro]

In the first two hours of this thing there has been maybe ten minutes of combat... wtf.

Part 5.

 

[Zombra]

In the first two hours of this thing there has been maybe ten minutes of combat... wtf.

I get the impression that the combat is pretty mashy/crappy anyway, so ... good thing?

 

[Tigranes]

Yeah, are there any segments in these previews that show some combat? That's the only bit I feel like I'll get any info from watching.
