Let's settle this once and for all, which one was the better game, Morrowind or Gothic?
>>
Morrowind
>>
>>741786669
very convincing arguments
>>
>>741786541
Well one of these game's companies went bankrupt and the other scammed Microsoft out of billions of dollars so pretty clear cut on who won
>>
Morrowind
>>
>>741786998
Morrowind raped Gothic II so hard that Piranha bytes changed the series entire identity and made Gothic III into an open world game to try and ride off TES success. And it was completely shit.
>>
>>741786541
Morrowind of course
>>
>>741787154
its pointless to compare art like that, any random Chinese gacha made more money than most beloved and highly regarded gaming franchises
>>
>>741786541
I like both.
>>741787154
Bethesda never made another game as good as Morrowind and PB remade Gothic 2 over and over again, every time a little worse.
Sad.
>>
>>741786541

Objectively it's Morrowind, more people have played it.

>>741786541
Gothic if you are a nazi or slavoid
Morrowind if you are an amerimutt

Only central Europeans who didn't own Morrowind as kids but got Gothic think Gothic is better
>>
>>741786541
I don't live in a country with Smingus Dingus so Morrowind.
>>
>>741787607
>Umm actually thats wrong sweetie it doesn't align with my opinion
Okay faggot then address >>741787263 and the fact PB were mind broken by Morrowind so hard they killed Gothic and would proceed to make shittier versions of Gothic II until they shut down
>>
>>741786541
Gothic II
>>
>>741787609
>didn't own
everyone pirated games back then dude
>>
>>741787738
Don't get me wrong, I think Morrowind is better. I just think "more people played it" is a retarded argument for something being good. You must think League of Legends is the best game of all time.
>>
>>741787607
Objective value can only be determined by mass appeal. Many people consider the Mona Lisa a great painting, even if it was nothing special at the time or in the grand scheme of things.
>>
>>741787895
>objective value can only be determined by mass appeal
I guess Skyrim mogs Morrowind then.
>>
>>741787895
>most people think 2+2=5 thats why its objectively true
>>
>tes vs gothic
What is it? 00s in easeter EU?
>>
>>741788063
Yes.
>>741788065
We made mathematics up, it's not actually something that exists. So yeah, that would be correct, if that ever happened.
>>
>>741788154
Unreal Tournament vs quake 3

>>741788189
>actually defending the statement that Skyrim mogs Morrowind on /v/
Get the fuck out. I'm sick of zoomers and alphies defending that game because it was their first rpg. Go out and play more games, get some taste, and come back to /v/.

>>741788353
Your opinion is worthless, sorry!

This nigga is baiting and I'm a retard for falling for it.

I prefer Morrowind, but Skyrim is the better game objectively.
>>741788595
Objective reality is based on consensus.
>>
>>741788570
ut99 obviously
>>
>>741786541
This thread is being derailed by retards. The answer is Morrowind unless you were a junkie in eastern europe in the early 00s.
>>
>>741788595
If the entire world decided that 2+2=5 tomorrow and went with it you screaming that it actually is 4 wouldn't change a thing.
>>
>>741788724
>Objective reality is based on consensus
The problem with this thinking is that the consensus is influenced by a lot more than just facts. Marketing, emotional appeal, authority figures saying its right, psyops, etc. Marketers are not arbiters of truth, they just want you to buy something so that they make more money. Fooling people into false beliefs does not make those beliefs reality.

NTA but said world would immediately collapse and prove it right. I have no idea why you thought this was a useful argument, how embarrassing. Now please, continue to lash out and writhe in your replies as though it will somehow make you right.
>>
>>741788876
If I then proved to the world that 2+2=4 after the consensus switched it to 5, would objective reality suddenly change?

>>741786541
Gothic was a better executed game, Morrowind was a more interesting concept
>>
>>741790286
>Gothic was a better executed
morrowind ran better, had much better graphic and had a lot bigger world
>>
>>741786541
Morrowind because I prefer the meta narrative of The Nerevarine, if the hero is organic or artificial, does it matter if he fulfils his role?
>>
>>741786541
they're both really fun
>>
>>741790703
It didn't run better, it didn't have better graphics (more asset variety if anything), and it did have a better world but the gameplay mechanics were not as well executed as those of Gothic. Overall Gothic plays better but it rarely surprises you. Morrowind is more interesting, but it plays significantly worse.
>>
>>741786541
There was never any debate. Morrowind has always been the better game. Gothic fags just wish their games were on the same level.
>>
>>741792854
>There was never any debate
there were countless debates about both those games
>>
>morrowindtroon getting uppity again
lmao

>>741793069
>were
That is because these Gothiclowns were a very vocal minority. Nobody else ever took that eurotrash seroiusly.
>>
>>741787738
That's a false statement considering there's G2 standing between Morrowind and G3. I would argue Morrowind had no effect on the development of any of Gothic games whatsoever.
In terms of following, Morrowind is one of those games where after 20 years modders still try to make it good, Gothic is one of those games where modders still make new shit on top of what was in vanilla.
>>
gothic is better, but let the brown zoomers stick to their bethesdaslop and YouTuber-approved opinions.
>>

Ah yes. I love it when a /v/tard chooses to make himself look like an absoilute moron than admit to having been wrong. After all, on an anonymous board, it costs nothing other than self respect, and you can win an entire discussion that will exist for 1 hour.
>>
>>741786541
I'm honestly perplexed so many morons here really believe Morrowind is any good. Gothic literally ass rapes it in every department except lore.

Morrowind is such an unbalanced broken mess ignoring it's quirky setting it's honestly baffling anybody even dares to compare it to gothic

>>741786541
both games have garbage gameplay, but Morrowind wins out for having actually interesting worldbuilding.
>>
>>741786541
Gothic 2. Small and hand-crafted worlds beats gigantic copy-paste one every day. The progression in Gothic is also leagues above Morrowind.

No, objective reality is based on logical deduction. Consensus is too flawed. Logical deduction is precise.

gothic

>>741786541
IMO, Gothic was more technologically impressive. Morrowind had bigger world and arguably better worldbuilding, but I would argue if it had better writing per se.
>>

the only impressive thing about gothic was, its fully voice acted

>ability to fluently use the parts of enviroment (cooking, digging, using a forge, climbing a ladder and so on).
It took Bethesda until 2006 and Oblivion to catch up to most of those things and even then their NPC behaviours felt off.
Fuck Bethesda only figured out how to make PC use a ladder without a loading screen in 2019 with Starfield.
>>
I think they are actually so different from each other, that it doesn't really make sense to compare them.
While both are "action rpgs", mechanically Morrowind is much more "rpg" while Gothic is more action.
Generally Morrowind is much more of a sandbox. You can do what you want, even craft your own spells, the main character is a blank slate, there are things like vampirism and lycanthropy, ilnesses and so on. Morrowind does a lot of things, and not all of them equally well.
Gothic on the other hand knows what it wants to do and does exactly that. Imho the setting is also more interesting, but the nameless hero is not a blank slate and there is a stronger focus on the narrative.

Ironically Gothic tried to become more like TES and got worse (although I actually like Gothic 3, it was really bad on release and is very different from the previous entries) while TES became more action and less rpg as well, just compare Morrowind to Oblivion to Skyrim.
>>
>>741797110
>It took Bethesda until 2006 and Oblivion
have u even played Morrowind? all those things were present in it with way more robust systems than gothic or any later Bethesda game was was downgrade and dumbed down lmao

No, honey, they fucking weren't.

The only thing Morrowind has over Gothic is a bigger budget with bigger world with more lore. Everything else is better in Gothic and if those german autists did have a bigger budget I think they would have fucked everything up (see Gothic 3)
