Guys, get rid of "Gothic name" and look at this demo objectively

1. It works badly
2. It looks like generic ue5 game
3. Combat is awful
4. Animations from 2005

What he should like in this demo? Only music is good.

[Seljuck]

he never played original games.. he never played real RPG game.. he is a ACTION game fan that is so used to "easy" hand holding games that he strugle to find himself in a game that dont have almost any qol, h and holding features... Gothic never was actual action game.. due to responsivnes, jankly fight etc.. it was always more like standard RPG despite being in 3d.

Actual demo definitely got that original Gothic vibe and great graphics.. and i love that!
Animations, movement, responsivnes.. those thing need to be adressed.. to be more fluid, faster as they reject many in current state.

Its definitely not a game for those who were looking for fast , monster hunter/dmc like fights . Its just not that type of game.

As much as it hurt to watch him play the demo the way he did, he
had some very understandable problems with the game.

It is also for me not understandable, why there are no "checkpoint" areas or f.e. after you talked to someone. This wil frustrate many new players who are all used to this system in 99% of other games and who will die almost certainly early by trying out what you can do and what not.
This lack of checkpoints also discourages new players and they will quit before they can see the quality of the game.

What also is an important point is the combat and movement: A new player, like Asmon here, doesn't kow that the movement is intentionally this bad early in the game and will think this is due to bad game design. Maybe here some early comments of NPCs could be helpful to hint to that improvement of combar movement in the near future. F.e. something like "Oh man, you move so f'ing clunky with that sword, we need to improve that asap"

In general I was sad that Asmon had that lack of patience, but I think the devs should take his criticism seriously in order to not lose players new to Gothic

TRUE and REAL
You guys fail to understand that the whole point of this ReMake is/was not only to keep the current playerbase but to bring new audience to the game. Asmongold represents here the average gamer whos not familiar with franchize. If the game on release will fail to reach popularity and higher sails numbers it will only lead us to Embracer closing this whole project/Alkimia studio like they did with PB.

I don't like the guy. But he's right actually.

[harken23]

That's the best recommendation of the game I've seen yet.

Sheep kids this days.

If Asmongold hates a game, if anything that's usually a sure way to say the game is good. Dude is stupid, vapid, and has absolutely no idea what he is talking about.

[Thadeus]

You're talking about a guy who quit Skyrim in the first 5 minutes because the carriage scene was too long.

I love Asmon, he makes the wokies cry, and that makes me happy.
Otherwise, i dont care about his gameplay views and opinions, he played MMO most of his live so he knows nothing and im strictly SP [preferably Linear narrative based] gamer.

Who is Asmangold?

Yep. His favorite games are Wukong, Elden Ring and Monster Hunter. What do these games have in common? They're all on-rails and combat-focused games with no RPG mechanics, no dialogue other than exposition, no story, no NPC interaction other than combat, no crafting, basically nothing that makes you think or do other things than combat.

He quit KCD 2 because he was playing it like AAAAASS on stream and he was super cringe. It was like watching grandpa playing a video game for the first time, and this guy is a gamer?! PUHLEASE!

So Asmon's opinions on games are irrelevant for the most part.

Nah, Gothic Remake will be fine. The main audience is in Germany, Poland and Russia, as it always was, and those fans don't give a damn about Asmon.

Sure, the game has a cult status in these countries but their audiences alone simply aren't enough to turn a game of this scale into a massive success. THQ will for sure expect more than another 20 years of niche status from the remake. Then there's also the chance that the game has woke elements in it we haven't seen yet. Like re-interpreting the orcs vs humans thing into a a race thing or somesuch nonsense. A change like that would probably send most slavic audiences running which would be bad news. So yeah, Asmon not liking this game is not a good sign for the future of the franchise. Not a killing blow by any stretch of the imagination. But the devs should definitely pay attention to his criticism.

Nobody should ever listen to Asmongold. Dude has no idea what makes a game good. Him not liking the game is the best endorsement the game could have gotten, and the only reason for the devs to listen to his criticism is so they can do the exact opposite of what he says they should do.

This game is certainly not his cup of tea but think of it this way. If the game fails tu capture him, there's a high chance it will fail to capture a significant portion of would be customers too. In other words, the game is currently not accesible enough and/or bad at communicating how you are supposed to play it. If we want the game to succeed, we cannot ignore input such as Asmongolds.

Regardless of his audience, Asmongold is not representative of the vast majority of people who play games. And even if he were, the game should still not be dumbed down to his level just to reach more people.

He was too dumb for KCD 2 as well... and would you look at it, that's one of the most successful singleplayer games of all time.

Think for yourselves guys. YT is just a research tool to see how something works. Then decide or play a demo of a game if there is one, and decide for yourself.

Mr. A is just a tool in a research machine.
