1UP's Eric Neigher saddled <b><a href="http://www.jowood.com/?lang=en&site=2&gameid=gothic3_AO&pfid=PC" target="blank">Gothic 3: Forgotten Gods</a></b> with a <a href="http://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3171824&p=1" target="blank">D- review score</a>, while earning the coveted "I'm Trying Too Hard" award for himself at the same time.
<br>
<blockquote>For those unfamiliar with Gothic 3 -- for which Forsaken Gods is a standalone expansion, -- it's a third-person RPG with a look and feel similar to Ultima IX. Yeah, Ultima IX. I intentionally chose a game from nearly 10 years ago because that's just how outdated Gothic 3's engine feels. By and large, what you're getting here is a very been-done, over-the-shoulder fantasy-RPG. If you liked the original Gothic 3, you'll probably dig this expansion. But let's be honest: Nobody intelligent enough to read this far into my review would have enjoyed Gothic 3. I'm just keeping it real, people.</blockquote>

Congratulations to Eric, JoWood, and moronic Gothic 3 fans everywhere.

Nobody intelligent would be paying any heed to a 1UP review in the first place.
Not that he's incorrect in this particular case, but that's probably more of a fluke than anything.

God Mode Gothic 3 is mildly fun and has nice C&C.

A crappy site writes a crappy review for a crappy game, it's an explosive combination.

Gothic 3 was terrible. They blew it big time.

Ultima IX? Isn't that a mod for... Oh ! I see what you did there.

 

[WalterKinde]

Haven't bought the game and don't plan to , i have read the player reviews on official and unofficial forums.
I don't even think this game is being p2p'd, wonder who the publisher will blame it on other than themselves.
I must say with this terrible showing of the Expansion just how bad will the two version Gothic 4 be.

God, send brains. Lots of stuff to criticise about G3. Especially about the un-optimised engine, but "outdated" ?!? Like Ultima IX ?!? Been there, done that?!?
And he seriously stands in his house of glass throwing stones dissing other people's intelligence? God, send brains.

At least he's keeping it real.

 

[sheek]

And that's the important thing.

 

[denizsi]

But, is it real enough? Can you feel how real it is, 'cause I sure can't? Fuck that pussy, I say!

Kind of a shitty thing to say in a review, but he is right that you have to be stupid to like Gothic 3.

And Gothic 1 and 2 as well (!!!!!)
