I haven't even played the first Arcadia, but looks so good!

It's a poor game, nothing common with Gothic series, it has limited area with limited possibility's, more linear than open world...well in general it is linear.

Damn, that is a pity. The graphics looks good, but then again, I have learned that not all good looking games are good.

Graphics indeed is good, I like how armor looks, even plates has some animations on it, but, thats all. I was very disappointed when I discovered how player must go to other location, each of location have barrier that will hold U in there until U complete main quest, although...I do not recall sidequest's at all..

Then I am very disappointed. Doubt that I will ever play the game then!

The first Arcania was an ok game if you weren't expecting Gothic, which we almost all were, so yes the game kinda sucked :).

I don't understand why would they intentionally choose to ruin such a series as Gothic, it had a big following. Thankfully we still have Risen :).

Skipped first Arcadia due to reviews and such - this won't make me start trying Arcadia games.

Yeah, Risen was far more better, open world, Gothic mechanic was good.

I also never played Risen, though a friend of mine said it is not that good.

Risen = Gothic, just a different world but it was basically the same game. If you like Gothic you would also like Risen.

I didn't play Risen either - tried a demo and well same with Two Worlds - they just seemed like inferior games, IMO, to Elder Scroll games. Tried my hands at Gothic 2 and 3 - and while I played some hours of Gothic 3 - the bugs and problems and then later the mechanics made me shun the series completely.

Guess that I will never know until I try. I will maybe take a test sometime, maybe download a demo or something.

I love the Gothic series more than any other RPG, more than the Elder Scrolls as well :). It's a matter of opinion i guess, maybe with Skyrim i will switch sides but in Gothic vs Oblivion, Oblivion sucked in comparison as far as i'm concerned :).
Well the Gothic series is dead but we'll see how the original creators of Gothic do with Risen 2, i have high hopes and i have the same high hopes for Skyrim as well :).

I am not one to judge a game until I have played it. Dungeon Siege III for an example. Almost everyone I know complains about the game. Not once have I heard a person saying that the game is great.

I for one love the game, it is fun and the graphics is actually quite good as well. I bought myself the original and even today still I am not sorry for purchasing the game.
