People that think this games combat and controls are bad are retards, I'm a zoomer that mostly plays remakes and the like and games like Morrowind are too dated for me yet once I got into Gothic combat and controls it's so insanely intuitive and the combat is really satisfying with great tactile feedback when you manage to dance around enemies with melee, it's fucking great, just need to stick with it for like an hour to get the hang of it

>>727757281Hope you're excited for the pozzed demake bro.
Gothic combat is good, but some of the other controls are weirdly complex. Like picking up something requires 2 buttons. It absolutely btfo Morrowind regardless.
>>727757281The controls are genuinely some of the best controls in a PC rpg, but there's a learning curve, try it, challenge yourself to play it for 2 hours and see what you think after, once you get into it it feels so satisfying to use only the movement + a few other keys for basically 90% of actions and item management
>>727757240It's worse to play and uglier than basically any Japanese game with melee combat made in the last 15 years. When you're getting mogged by Dark Souls, it's a bad sign
I played it for the first time a few weeks ago and once I had looked up the controlls combat was easy. Almost too easy. That mission in the free mine was the first wall I ran in to.
>>727758276Gothic level design slams Dark Souls, they are similar in that high lvl mobs block areas, however the fact that they respawn and can be farmed in DS makes it retarded, in Gothic when you see an area with dead enemies, you know it's cleared for good, no more respawning, it makes you traverse the world semi linearly and yet it feels organic, it's one of the best designs ever and I'm amazed more games didn't do it, the progression you feel knowing you cleared out some shit that won't ever respawn feels so much better than Souls
>>727757240Gothic 1/2 controls are great. You can play it with one hand on your keyboard just fine.
>>727758532There are respawns at the start of every chapter.
>>727759318which serves a purpose too, since it's a time skip isn't it and even changes the map a bit, also it's not the same enemies? Afaik, like that group of black orcs at the cave you definitely fight those guys only once
>>727759484in Gothic 1, respawns are pretty tame. you get stuff like 1 extra scavenger/lizard/snapper in specific groups around the map.Gothic 2 does a lot more of it, adding tough enemies everywhere in later chapters.
>>727759989I see, I played 1, 2 not yet, idk why but I believe I found it harder to get into than 1
>>727757240I would say the combat is serviceable but not good. It's the feeling of progression with improving move-sets that makes it feel good, imo.The control scheme itself though is genuinely great for the time, except for the trade menu, but even that you get used to.
>try archolos>6 crashes in 1hourdropped this polish shit, G1 and G2 still kings
>>727760329> 2 not yetBe sure to play the 2 with the night of the raven add on. Play archolos too, then.
>>727758276>this 24 year old game looks and plays worse than games that are only 15 years oldWe've got ourselves a genius here, guys.
>>727759318>>727759989Without respawns the game would feel empty after a while.
>>727757240>People that think this games combat and controls are bad are retardsAgreed 100%. The controls are great. Just because they're non-standard, does not make them bad.
>>727760752I've played through archolos three times and I crashed once in 200 hours. Either skill issue or AMD user which needs extra patches to work correctly.
>>727759318It's not respawns, just new ones added. If you have 4 wolves in ch. 1 and one gets added to the pack in ch. 2, you kill three of them in ch. 1 and will have 3 in ch. 2.
>>727757240Only people that got filtered by picking up items say it's bad.
>>727759318They aren't respawns, they are additions. The things you kill stay dead, but more enemies are added.
