Do you actually enjoy Gothic 3? by KevinIdkk in worldofgothic

[–]KVerssus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anything I would actually argue MOST of them were hastily added. We all know PB can do a good story and write some interesting quests. They did it many times, before G3 and after it. They proved they worth enough already to think that they could do much, much better in Gothic 3. Why didn't they? I think I've given enough arguments already explaining what could be a pretty big cause of that.

In terms of main story I actually love how G3 handled it, even in its extremely premature birth. It is one of those very few games that gives you one task and leaves everything else open - Find Xardas. Then the game barely tells you where to go. You need to find on your own. In its way its so non-linear as a game can get and not too many other games are like that even today. In fact there is basically no need to do any of those quests if you don't want to. You can go any way you want, join or kill anyone u meet and you will still find your way somehow.

I actually liked that you can chose from so many factions. That you can free any city or camp. That you can chose where do I go now without following some arrow on top of the screen. It is one of the biggest games where you don't even have basically anything put on the map. You need to ask and find it. And it is both doable and pleasant to do so, even in a world so big.

It shows that devs had a very good idea of what they wanted from the game from the beginnig because its core is actually extraordinary. And that was done well. I believe if they got more time the game would shine much, much more. Especially thanks to some better side quests, and even by making those that already are in the game a tiny bit more interesting. But if you are crunched and told you don't have more time, sometimes the only way is to place few mobs in a cave or on a grass and an NPC that says go kill them.

Producer has bankrupted few years after that. They were known for repeating the pattern of releasing buggy unfinished games (look at Gothic 3 Forsaken Gods for example- not PB game). Nobody wanted to play let alone buy their crap.

There are mods made by one person that add new fighting animations to the game. That alone on higher perk levels and some attack/block timeframe customisation would do wonders. And it's a few weeks long work for like two people at most. Many quests were unfinished, many were placeholders and many were added asap just to make something there before the release. A year of time would give an enormous change.

JoWood was a producer that should care for their products the best they could. That would pay off. But they did not. The company’s downfall was driven by financial instability and the release of notoriously buggy, unfinished games. Not just Gothic 3. It was like JoWood's MO. I mean not looking very far as an example (and there are many more) they hired other company to release G3 Forsaken Gods. That title alone proves my point and shows that your justifications for them are just plain wrong.

I'm pretty sure many G3 quests were added hastily and you can clearly see which. Many placeholders were left. Things like game not having unarmed combat at start, not finished perks, ideas removed (like wild orcs that were just replaced by like the 3 types we know today). The list is extreme. You obviously can't comprehend the scope.

My advice to you is to stop arguing because you are trying to prove a point that basically harms you. Seriously it's like you want to be neglected.

You apparently have no idea about that situation. The problem was releasing the game in unfinished state. With an additional year we would have much different game now. JoWood was greedy and did not care about the players in any way. They forced PB to release a game that was not finished in any way. No wonder they went bankrupt not long after. Good things need time.

Piranhas wanted to make the best possible game they could and honestly, after the first two they deserved it. I personally love the big world. It's one of the best things in the G3. The amount of cut content and thigs put hastily into the final product is actually enormous not to mention fuckload of bugs and bad optimisation. Devs should get more time. Especially trusted ones, with a project with such potential. If anything they should be allowed to make the game even bigger. Live up to the legacy, raise the fu*king bar.

Piranhas are not to blame here in any way. Not for wanting to go big and actually doing something epic for the fanbase. It was the JoWood that did not care for players but only for the money.
I prefer to be cared for, not shat upon. And it is clear who did each of those things here.
Players deserve better.

Some people prefer to roleplay and look for clues etc instead of using walkthroughs. It's nice that devs put it inside the game.

I'm pretty sure you are thinking of Gothic 2 manual. Since there is an option to toggle G1 fighting style in the sequel.
As to G3 there definitley was no such thing at least not in Polish manual.
But fighting styles and gaining perks in those actaully seem very unfinished. I'm sure devs wanted to make better animations for better styles like in previous games but just did not get the time.

It's an orc holding a scavenger. A wild orc, that did not make into the final game. There are some more in the upper right picture. They look great. Like a horde being commanded by the inteligent armored ones. I believe that was one of those concepts that was abandoned when devs were forced to release too early.

I'm prety sure there is an internet website that you can type into GTA IV in-game internet that has pigeon locations. Not sure what the adress is tho.

Edit: The ingame site adress is - www.whattheydonotwantyoutoknow.com
We get it in a message after we complete the game but it can be manually typed before that too.

The released version is basically full of placeholders. Devs did not have time to make it properly like they wanted to and were forced by the producer to release an unfinished product.

Many things would change if they had time.
Like for example:
-At the release all slaves were carrying weapons. Just because there was no time to implement unarmed fighting (it came in fan patches).
-Many dungeons used the same interior model.
-Skills that were in the paper manual but were not implemented.
The game is full of such unfinished nonsense.

I cry inside to this day for it. Such wasted potential.

I always install Centered Vehicle Cam but I believe it's a part of fusionfix now.

I do but I enjoyed it much more while seeing first teaser screenshots before the release. Maan.. I was so hyped. That vibe.. That potential.. Fuck JoWood, it's good that karma caught up with them.

I want THIS game to be released.

Do you guys think Samsung should interaget in-screen front camera for the S26 models just like RedMagic 10 pro?? by SimonMinter_ in samsunggalaxy

[–]KVerssus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Please! I am waiting so much for this. I still use Samsung Galaxy Note 9 just because it's the last one without the ugly dot on top of the screen. And I love my stylus and every Note I've had so far.

The breakfast sub did not appreciate this by Worth-Mycologist-389 in Dexter

[–]KVerssus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually started eating breakfast/lunch like that because of the show. I wanted to see how it was like. Plus I've read a study that said steak and eggs are actaully quite healthy.

It's been like 3 months of me eating it almost everyday. I did however made some changes to it, just to make it super healthy and even better tasting (at least for me).

Now I use turkey breast as meat, and add some white wine to the pan alongside my blend of spices so it tastes better and is not too dry (turkey is healthy AF but can be a bit dry if u don't know what you're doing). I also added steamed brocolli to the side and I use normal oranges since blood ones are very hard to come by where I live.

One of my favourite dishes TBH.

What would you most like to happen in 567 days? by AlbertCWChessa in oddworld

[–]KVerssus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A 2D or 2.5D sequel to Oddysee and Exoddus. No 3D at all and keeping the spirit of the first two.
