The best game ever?

[michaeljamescobb]

I first played this game when it was originaly released. Since then i have played it a number of times al the way thru and just sort of dipped my beak many more times than that. I continue to be amazed at the richness of this game and the sophistication of it's execution.

The story is sophisticated and the characters are well drawn. It engages in ways that games like Skyrim can only hope for. The beauty of the landscapes is riveting.

It is, to me, a gamers game: no silly weight limits, no restrictions about what you can sell to whom. No endless range of weapons with contrived differences. And it is one of the few where, at least in the beginning, money is actually a problem.

Ixd like to hear your thoughts. And... thank you Pyrana Bytes!!!!

Yes it's a great game.
I don't know if it's that we all played it when we was young, so that being something in our memories makes it better, or if it's actually an unique masterpiece.

From my opinion, as a 15 years gamer, is that nowdays they can't find innovation, and they point all on graphic.
Gothic 2 is really one of the best top 10 games ever made for me.

Well, the fact that there is no weight limit and that you can sell your marchandises to any merchant, isn't really a big factor.
The fact that you start with few gold is pretty common in rpg, only in Gothic 2, money isn't worth a damn, because you unlock items automatically by progression (chapters...).

But yes, game is quite superb otherwise.

It is in my top 10 rpgs of all time, a classic!

There's numerous things in Gothic I love. I just finished G1 and jumped straight to G2. Awesome with familiar characters around. Developers of Gothic understand most important thing and that is characters make the game. Also with fighting, characters have different fighting styles. I like that items in the game aren't highlighted, you really need to look for it. I don't even remember all the things what to mention, hands down best rpg i've played and I started with c64 and ultima series.

Бесспорно!

G3 is an excellent game, you have to install the community patches. It was plagued with hangups and crashes but it is pretty stable now. The real dog is G4 which, by any measure, sucked. It was made by an Indian team and the dialog was not synched to the characters and there were game killing bugs.

I really have found G2 to be the best and I don't think that it is because I played it early.

Shoot...I was twenty-five when I played it. I still hold it in awe over all other games.
