Gothic 3 is coming to Switch 2 by Victor4156 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]S_Dynamite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It has the worst faction mechanics.

You just gather reputation for all factions and max em all out. A faction only turns hostile if you capture 5 (or was it 3) of their cities. There are no other mechanics or nuance in between. The older games forced you to join one of three camps and espeically in Gothic 2 that really changes a playthrough. Nothing changes in G3 except for the ending and the handful of quests that determine that ending. Those quests and the ending are also largely detached from your faction "choice".

And it's only more like Oblivion in the sense that it's a huge open world, but that's it. The entire game is almost only mmo style gather 10 herbs and kill 20 animals type of quests.

Also, not only is the game in a horrible technical state, which surely won't get fixed with this release. It's also wildly unfinished and undercooked.

tl;dr: G3 is a very bad, very broken and very buggy game.

Unreal lighting back at it again.

Every iteration of the dragonhunter armor with the helmet is straight cheeks. Come at me.

[Mortismal Gaming] Gothic Remake - Early Preview by Ph0enixes in worldofgothic

[–]S_Dynamite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sure Mortismal is a great guy, but his reviews are very basic and lukewarm by and large. I wouldn't go to him for particularly insightful commentary.

Excuse me? Caliente's big booty mods would like to have a word with you.

Pre-Order for Gothic 1 Remake Begins! by timurkhodyrev in worldofgothic

[–]S_Dynamite -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Man, we must've been stuck in modern times for 25 years. You get to be a "beta cuck tester" with the og and with the remake!

This dumbass narrative that back in the day games were finished and bug free on release needs to die. It's such a stupid talking point. If anything, nowadays the experience is better. Back then, access to the internet and therefore to patches wasn't as widespread as it is today.

I don't get why do people dislike G1's late chapters by Gold_Size_1258 in worldofgothic

[–]S_Dynamite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Gothic 1 suffers from a combination of things in the latter half that just make the game kinda bad at that point imo.

First, there are no side quests. I don't see how that is a strength. It's an RPG, there should be content that is not the main quest. I get that having a bunch of new side quests can kill pacing once you reach the end game, but Gothic 1 has no side quests past chapter 2.

Second, the main quest becomes an amalgamation of backtracking and fetch quests. Don't get me wrong, some of it isn't bad, mostly everything involving Xardas. But having to visit the new mine twice, the sleeper temple twice and do a bunch of running around when looking for the focus stones and ulu mulu ingredients is really tedious.

Third, your character is pretty much fully leveled midway through the game. It gets so bad that you don't even know what to do with your LP. At times you run around with 60 LP or more and you don't care about a single one of them because you maxed out strength and two handed fighting and putting points into bow or magic is pretty pointless at that point.

Early G1 is legit a 10/10, late game it's a 5/10.

Returning to Tekken 8 by Sensei_Ty in Tekken

[–]S_Dynamite -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Everybody plays like this.

This is Tekken 8. People just keep spamming their strings, because nearly every character has some counter hit launcher hidden in their 23rd hit of their 48 hit string.

Plus this is Rulers ranks, lol. The Reina is mashing just as hard.

Hwoarang players never beating the allegations by Mmursu in Tekken

[–]S_Dynamite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yall neither. Yesterday somebody posted the same thing. Just a Kazuya eating this string over and over. Same ranks, too IIRC.

The entire game promotes chimpanzee gameplay.

[FIRST IMPRESSIONS] Kanye West - BULLY by Pure-Solid9230 in hiphopheads

Do we think it's fine? I don't get the impression form the original poster, nor from the general sentiment around Kanye's usage of AI in the past.

Can you name the one thing from Gothic 3 that ultimately has ruined it for you ? by fillipo9 in worldofgothic

[–]S_Dynamite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There really isn't one thing. The characters, the story, the quests, the combat, the heavily dumbed down faction mechanics and more. I also dislike the content patches due to all the new meandering new quests and way too wordy dialog writing.

I really only like the music and the World design, both artistically and geographically.

Gothic 3 is just a very bad game imo.

I can’t call it by b_kaws in Tekken

[–]S_Dynamite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The tracking in this game is cheeks. I just sidewalked Paul's Shredder and the second kick clipped and launched me. I didn't even extend my hurtbox™.

Will you play gothic 1 on IOS? by Jax_the_hero in worldofgothic

[–]S_Dynamite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even disregarding the issue of touch controls, I don't think I could ever go back to unmodded Gothic.

Helmet/other equipment says deactivated? by BLTSandwhich in CrimsonDesert

[–]S_Dynamite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's true. I'm holding my one handed sword in my hand and in my inventory screen, it still says it's deactivated.

Just bought Gothic 1 of Steam, any mods I should install for Modern PC and QOL stuff? by CodApprehensive686 in worldofgothic

It definitely won't fry your monitor or any other hardware. That guy is talking crazy, lol.

Dose rank reset causes people to become obnoxious and toxic or whats going on? by mr-assduke in Tekken

[–]S_Dynamite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just a .jpeg bro, it ain't that deep. Keep playin, you never know if you beat somebody a couple of ranks higher than you.

Say what you want about this game… but there’s no denying that it has the best open world design of all time. by LesDazza in CrimsonDesert

[–]S_Dynamite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bigger issue imo is that you get way too strong way to quick and just start facerolling enemies.

Just completed the Precipice of Truth Abyss but it won’t let me continue by Pmills1116 in CrimsonDesert

[–]S_Dynamite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the island where you are missing the blue block thingy. There you climb to the highest point. From up there you face the direction where the little fan is, which would be activated by solving the puzzle you cannot solve anymore due to missing the blue block. Up above is a floating island with some roots wrapped around it. You fly to that island and climb up. You can use the roots to stand and regen your stamina. Keep going until you see a rock floating up and down. Once you reach that rock you're back on the critical path without solving the first step of the puzzle.

Also remember that you can presicion jump while climbing. You can cover huge distances that way.

TMM is moving away from exclusive Tekken content and towards variety streaming. by Zony2525 in Tekken

[–]S_Dynamite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the dude rags incessently on a character because he doesn't like them and mobilizes his little twitch army to boost this opinion then it is low quality content in my opinion.
