Gothic

Ok so I bought this game by rec a long time ago and it barely worked clearly not compatible with any modern hardware. I have since played it on 3 computers some with pretty serious gaming hardware and now it won't even launch. Seems like would have been a decent game if I could play it but this is broken. I'm really getting tired of this I buy games supposedly patched to modern OS and they are garbage. Here and on Steam this happens and there is nobody to get support with.

Gave up trying. Even after following directions to patch it, it still would not work. I really wanted to play this game.

I love RPG's. They are my favorite games to play. I have played almost every type you can imagine. I enjoy them even if they are "bad". I just REALLY like them. Okay, I have read the reviews of Gothic here on GOG and decided that I must get it. The recent bundle deal they had left me with no choice. In anticipation I fire Gothic up. The initial starting conversation ends and I'm ready to play...or so I thought. The controls on this game are horrible! I live with a condition called neuropathy that has left my hands rather weak and this is the first game I've played that I simply cannot deal with. What were these guys thinking? I have read reviews from others saying that they have "gotten used" to the funky system, but I question giving that any credit. Controls in a game should flow easily to make a game enjoyable. These controls make no sense whatsoever. I give it two stars since I believe the game must have something to it to have so many people lavish praise upon it. I played it for two hours and all I had were numb wrists. Sorry. Installing Gothic 2 and hoping it is better.

Oh my god... GOTHIC 1!!!! I LOVED the game. One of my ten favorites all the way

Get ready for a save scum extraordinaire. If you have the patience to slog through the endless awful controls, game freezing bugs and inconceivably awful inventory screens, there is a chance at fun. The combat is at best ill-conceived. The story; basic. Though both of these don't entirely inhibit the exploration of an impressive world with a lot of personality and charm.
