Aracania is just terrible. Period. Terrible quests. Terrible character system. Terrible dialog. Terrible combat. Terrible world design. Terrible technical/engine wise. I'm not just parroting memes, here. I tried to play this game for a good ten or twelve hours. It literally is one of the worst games I have ever played in all of my life. I would be flat out ashamed to have my name tied to such a poor effort.

When is this last time we've even gotten a Commandos clone? Is that now a dead sub-genre? Bring it back, dammit. I'd rather that than another action RPG.

Whoopdefucking do.

TBH, Gothic was not that good at all. I guess the codex pretends to like it cuz it was grimdark and not made in Kwa, thus gave the resident euro fags something to cheer about.

But honestly, Gothic had real time button mash kombat (admittedly, stats were important), utterly shit story (mystic forcefield, orcs, mine slaves, camps??? da fuck?) no real character generation, no party. Dialogue was meh, npcs were utterly boring, quests were same ol' bullshit wrapped in shiny new grimdarkness. I didn't mind that the series died a wretched death. Hope the same happens to Risen, and all such shitty games that claim to be rpgs.

As for JoWood, the last rpg type game they made was Gorasul: Legacy of the Dragon. I will say that JoWood has an incredible ability to survive, no matter the shitty amounts of crappy and utterly stupid games they make (or publish?? which one is it?), they refuse to die. I don't know how they do it, but they do.
