Still too early to tell. Give them time to work out the quirks. My faith in the series have been shaken by risen 2, but I still have hope.

Combat looks quite arcadeish, with those charged attacks at speed of light and the rolling. Let's hope the story is at least good.

I admit I had a little bit of fun with Risen, when it was the very start of the game. But after I got the first discthingy and the guy told me I need to go on a scavengerhunt all around the gameworld to find many more, I just gave up. It got really boring from there. I couldnt finish it, I just lacked the will to continue from there. Cause I really didnt give a shit. Eventhou Risen 2 was even a shittier game, somehow I managed to finish that and it didnt feel like utter pain. Risen was a complete chore of an experience to me. I wouldnt have finished it even if people had pay'd me to do it.

Yah, I don't really like the Risen series and never thought of them to be good.

This, exactly, I quit at the same point too, I don't get the hype around even the first game, I thought it was pretty mediocre, I didn't touch the second game and I certainly won't touch this one either lol.

Well it got released. It aint half bad. Somewhat of a meh experience. I quess the biggest prob I have is that we are back to this pirate thing. I really hoped that we would stick to a fantasy Dark age medieval setting of a sort, but since Gothic already has done it and failed many times now, im quessing the Risen team is trying to avoid it. The combat is also meh, it is atleast quite responsive now and you can block basically some attacks and dodging works fine etc. Its okayish. Game of the Year, if it was 2006. Really feeling like this game belonged to the past.

I've read 2 tests and one said "Well, it's better than Risen 2... but just barely." and the other one said "This game is just bad."

Nope, not even considering to pirate the pirate game.

Didn't even like risen 1. I'm surprised it got to 3.

By the looks of it they are just making the same game, but simply adding some new lame features, new maps, creatures, shit story etc. The engine and everything basically looks hardly tweaked at all. Tbh I actually even kinda like this one. I mean its still shit, but the scavangerehunts are just so fun and the somewhat hard difficulty is actually quite enjoyable. And now that melee is somewhat at passable level, its quite alright.

Oh for fucks sake, why couldnt they just drop the pirate bullcrap? I want swords and magic, not guns and parrots ffs!

EDIT: I cant believe you are still holding the grudge for our earlier skyrim discussion Tibe, or at least you seem to.

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

But none of that matters cuz the series will always be shit

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.
