Recently Gothic 4:Arcania
did very little research on it
was fascinated with the Gothic series and thought G4A would be a good start
I love Fantasy RPGs
really realized the game svcked once I reached the second region
nope, is still there to this day, made it pretty far too, but I just can't be bothered to finish it
Arcania is probably one of the worst game's I've ever played. Is is a Superman 64? no, is it an ET? no, is it a Deadly Premonition? no
in my mind it's worse.
not because of bugginess or shoddy production, but because it's so, utterly, effortlessly dry and bare-minimum.
remember in High School when a teacher would chastise some student for doing the bare-minimum and not applying himself?
well the team that did Gothic 4 is comprised entirely of those flakes and floaters.
at its best, it's painfully boring
at its worst it's abysmally, obnoxiously, tedious and sluggish.
this game is like buying the worst, most lead-filled un-satisfying junk-food you can find at a seven eleven. The kind that's flavorless and filled with hundreds of the stuff to make it seem like a valuable purchase.
and you're going to say, but wasn't Superman, ET and DP also effortless?
yes, but at least those have a morbid charm about them
Arcania is just plain dull and cold
a better anology now that I think about it is it's like eating Hard Tac,
you know, the "bread" from the civil war?
