Gothic 2 Gold Edition

The combat might as well be turn based because of how bad it is.

The game is good, if I could only run it.... but immediately: ======================================= UNHANDLED EXCEPTION OCCURED ====================================================== ======================================= CRASH INFOS: ===================================================================== Startup Options: =============================================== CALLSTACK : ============================================================== 0023:77E44063 (0x02EE0030 0x02EE0038 0x02EE0038 0x01520000) ntdll.dll, RtlGetCurrentServiceSessionId()+1059 byte(s)

how do i give a fair review? many people LOVE this game, as for myself i feel like i am fighting with the controls, it just doesn't FEEL RIGHT to me? maybe it's because i am coming from games like OBLIVION and SKYRIM? but i just can't get into this game. if it ever comes to a game console like an xbox or something then i would probably be willing to give it a chance? i don't know what to say, there must be a solid RPG in there somewhere if you have the patience to find it, but i have to find something i like about it so i will say this as a plus....AT LEAST IT STARTS AND RUNS, unlike the first GOTHIC that i could not get to work on 3 different Windows OS, so at least there is that one thing going for it. to the die hard fans of this game i say i am sorry, i am sorry that i could not find whatever bliss you found in this game. controls for me are not the only problem but they are the main problem, feels buggy too. maybe i will revisit this title years from now when i'am in my senior years and give it a second chance?

Cool game. I like the sandbox kinda gameplay. The skill system has me questioning but its still great.

Not sure why people love this game. The controls are horrible, in fact they're so bad, you're dead before you can get the right combination quick enough and tough luck if you haven't saved the game. The graphics are ok for the age of the game and if the controls weren't so atrocious I may well have gone further and enjoyed the game. Unfortunately I can't, as the controls are just plain stupid, fiddly and downright frustrating, so much so that I'm abandoning this so called "classic" and try find something similar with better controls.
