I'll start with the fact that I absolutely LOVED Gothic and Gothic II. I purchased Gothic (4+ years ago?) because I was at my local game store and saw nothing that interested me but this unheard of game. I purchased it and thought it was the best RPG I had ever played.
I eagerly awaited Gothic II, delay after delay- I finally got it and loved the sequel more than the original.
Gothic III I just got today. I must say it is the first time I have not felt compelled to stay up all night and play.
FPS and crash issues aside:
Where are the hit sounds? I feel like I'm swinging at air every time I "hit" an enemy.
Why do I have an annoying Strobe Light effect if I look in certain directions? I think I'm going to have a seizure if that happens too many more times.
I compare combat in G3 (at this point) to the original Nintendo. Just tap as fast as you can and you will eventually hit your target. G3 took the style and grace that G1 and G2 combat had and tossed it out the window. I feel as though I will have to get my left mouse button insured if I plan on finishing this game.
Whats up with the balance? I cleared out an entire Orc camp with the "help" of Wenzel @ lvl 9, and immediately after I can barely even take on a single lizard?
Am I missing something? Not even blocking with a shield will prevent the lizards from killing me. I don't have a chance of stopping them when they start their attack. Six hits within 2 seconds and I'm dead with absolutely no chance of dodging, blocking or hitting them back.
Is this normal or am I too used to the balance of G1 and G2?
So far...I'm very disappointed....but I'm not giving up on it yet...
