Gothic

I'm giving it 2/5 and not 1/5 simply because gameplay actually looks really good in gameplay videos, it is even getting a remake. Sadly, it seems I will have to wait until the remake since the GOG version outright refuses to start. It only started the first time I launched it but the game's font is barely visible in 1920 x 1080 resolution, after seeking a solution to such issue, the game didn't even start at all. I hate to be a Karen but at this point I am truly disappointed since I thought GOG's marketing strategy was selling classic games.

I can't thank enough GOG.com for this game. !! Gothic 1 is perhaps my favourite game ever!! (*certainly in top5 games), but all the versions i've bought and tried , either from STEAM, or physical copies as well, have been unplayable for me, with crashes and messages such as "access violation error" !! I was desperate that i would never again play my favourite game, but thanks to GOG.com i bought a patched version of this game , and plays smoothly, like back at the good-old-days !! I'm so happy with this purchase that from now on GOG.com will be the first on my list whenever i'll buy another game!! Thanks!!!!!!!!!

Ich habe Gothic I damals 2001 auf meiner GeForce 2 MX gespielt und irgenwann verkauft, weil ch das Geld brauchte, und kürzlich dann auf GOG gekauft und durchgezockt. Und was soll ich sagen? Das Spiel ist immer noch exzellent in Sachen Atmosphäre und lebendiger Spielewelt, die Steuerung fand ich aber damals schon komisch. Das Spiel hat mich wieder so richtig so gepackt, dass ich kaum aufhören konnte. Die Grafik ist zwar ein wenig polygonarm aber gut beleuchtet und liebevoll gestaltet. Leider konnte ich die GOG-Version, so wie sie ist, nicht starten. Das von der Community erstellte Playerkit und das SystemPack haben dies Problem behoben. Damit läuft das ganze sogar mit ordentlicher Framerate und im Widescreen-Modus. -- Also unbeding installieren! (Einige Bugs sind geblieben)

Einfach eines der besten Games seinder Zeit! Ich Spiele es immernoch und entdecke jedes Mal was neues! Lohnt sich einfach zu 110%

First off, as many have mentioned, the default controls are quite horrible. Spend a good while in reconfig and running about the opening area learning how to use them. Once past that, the game gets a lot better and a slow progression becomes quicker. But be warned, if you stray too far into the wild or away from the main story arc, prepare for punishment in combat. Low level creatures are quite a challenge for those brought up on RPGs where you beat rats with a stick. There is much to the game world that can go unnoticed, such as the crafting system that is more involved than clicking a button that can surprise one once they get to it. So be sure to talk to everyone and find out what interactions you can do. Gothic is one of those games that people love or ignore due to many clunky features. But to really get into it, you need to spend an hour or four before it just clicks. The series improves as it goes along, but as game #1 it's a decent start.
