Gothic 5 is coming?!

[Darth Roxor]

I disagree with that. Risen 3 and its islands were actually pretty open ended, and you could move and navigate the map using the parrot flight scroll basically where your heart desired.

Yes, especially through all the invisible walls like the broken bridge on the volcano island

 

[unfairlight]

True, that pissed me off, but that aside from that there wasn't that much invisible walling.

 

[Darth Roxor]

there are invisible walls in any place related in any way to the plot

i remember another one in the mage city

apart from that of course there isnt much invisible walling because the maps are fucking terrible and railroaded

I hope this isn't true. ELEX is such an interesting IP I hope they stick with it for the planned sequels because I think they're really onto something.

Maybe a decade or so from now it'd be interesting what a future Gothic game would look like as a passion project but ELEX has a lot of opportunity for them and I'd like them to succeed. I just see it being much less likely to happen if they're doing another medieval fantasy game. ELEX is unmistakably theirs and there's nothing else really like it.

not again

There hasn't even been a Gothic 4 yet, so why are you skipping straight to Gothic 5?

 

[Talby]

ELEX is honorary Gothic 4.

 

[Deleted Member 16721]

I'd gladly, gladly take Gothic 5. ELEX is excellent but I wouldn't mind them putting that on hold while they craft Gothic 5. Another medieval/swords & sorcery RPG from them would be amazing, and it's a perfect time to delve into a world like that again. As long as they keep most of the old Gothic formula (ELEX has most of it, missing a few bits here and there), and even add or revert to some of the old Gothic formula they haven't used in awhile, then Gothic 5 will be a true masterpiece, another one from one of the best developers going for action CRPGs.

 

[Sranchammer]

Fuck fantasy. Need more ELEX!

Gothic 1 is one of my most beloved games. It caught lightning in a bottle. I can't be bothered to care for a Gothic 5, seeing how everything after 2 was garbage...

Nah, you're wrong. Gothic 3 was good after some patches and fan fixes, Risen was great, Risen 2 and 3 are better than people give them credit for and ELEX was GOTY.

 

[unfairlight]

Dude, no. The quest design was still dogshit. It was Oblivion without the good questlines.

 

[Falksi]

Risen 2 is flat out fucking brilliant. Some of the best humour you can find in an RPG.

You had me until "It was Oblivion without the good questlines."

You could argue that Oblivion has one single good questline. That's it.

But yes, Gothic 3 even with community patches is still severely lacking.

Oblivion had only 1 good questline, the Dark Brotherhood. Everything else in that game was nothing special, and to be honest, even Dark Brotherhood wasn't really that special, but most nerds were like 10 year old at that time and were impressed so they don't stop fangirling about it.

But yeah, Gothic 3 managed to be even worse shit than Oblivion, and that is an achievement.

Nah, you're just retarded and have shit taste. Gothic 3 is definitely better than Oblivion. Maybe you're just severely confused and think that "Gothic 3 Forsaken Gods" is the same thing as Gothic 3, but it's not. Forsaken Gods is complete fucking ass-slop, but Gothic 3 itself is a good game.

 

[unfairlight]

No Gothic 3 is still shit. The combat is hilariously broken, the story is absolute garbage, the world is totally empty with zero detail and nothing but pretty views and the quests are MMORPG tier.
At least the music was good, albeit a bit too "epic" for my taste. I would have much preferred something more reserved like Gothic 2.

I find it amazing that people exist in the world who could endure the slog that was Gothic 3. They are gluttons for punishment...

 

[Doktor Best]

Gothic 3 is probably the game i tried the hardest to like. I tried harder to like it than my mother in law.

But it didnt work

Why do you have such a shitty taste for games?

 

[Curratum]

I thought Gothic 5 was called Elex.

 

[Vityaz]

I could barely play Gothic 3 back then on my budget potato computer in 2006. Is it worth revisiting if I loved the first two?

Also what's that shit about Nameless One becoming a villain in Arcania??

Eh, just do it for the shits and giggles. 12 years later, I think it might be kinda interesting to see what went wrong back then. That is, if you never played it.

Also what's that shit about Nameless One becoming a villain in Arcania??

Facts.

 

[fantadomat]

Also why are we skipping the fourth one? Shouldn't we first get 4 before 5?

 

[Vityaz]

Shit, I realized I called him Nameless One instead of Hero. Ah well.
