Risen 3

[Nightmare798]

Lol the only good thing about risen 2 WAS it's setting, pirates are 10x more interesting than more fucking fantasy crap.

That is just your opinion. There are good and bad fantasy games, and there are good and bad games with pirate 17-18th century setting. When you suddenly change your game from medieval fantasy RPG to pirate themed rpg, it does not mean it will be necessarily better. In fact, this was one of the things that driven me away from series.

The problem isnt that its pirate themed. The problem is that its Hollywood cliché pirate themed. I mean look at your sister Patty for instance, WTF is that?

Well Ill be honest, Risen 1 will always be my favourite game, and a filler of void that G3 made, but Risen 3 is utter shit and I am dissapointed beyond any expectations. They completely fucked up, from story and characters to combat system and voice acting. R1 combat was deep and challenging, but R3 combat is just oversimplyfied crap.

I quess Risen is a different type of RPG, I get that, but for some reason quests just seem like...well...chores. In basically all 3 games. All RPGs have questlines that drag on for hours yet they dont seem so bad. I quess its psychological or something. In generally RPGs give you one thing to do and than make you move on to the next one, with loads of tiny quests in the middle. Risen's main questlines however: "Heres a quest, it will take you 4 hours to complete and you have to walk to all 4 corners of the map to do" "You did it? Great!" "heres another questpart that will take hours and will make you walk 4 other corners of the map". It just makes me go uuuuuuuuuughhhhhh....

Tbh I hope this Risen/Gothic genre wont die. They are totally the different kinds of RPGs than what TES and other conventional RPGs are. And probably noone else will make them. Risen and newer Gothic's are shit, but they still gives me a certain sadisfaction no other RPG can.
