Re: Risen
Great screens!
This is indeed a true RPG masterpiece, in my opinion. It's a shame mass market reviews will trash it because it isn't like Oblivion.

Re: Risen
After spending about 2 hours with the full game, I am truly impressed. This game is like you said, a masterpiece. The only number of games I've played in the last few years where I felt a true sense of exploration are Gothic 3, Fallout 3 and now this game. Gothic 3 didn't run too well on my PC, but it was still quite good with the community patches. This game runs very well and I like the graphics style.
If you want to play a game where you can explore an interesting world and get immersed in a story, this is definitely a game you should enjoy. Try the demo for yourself and see if you like it. If you like the demo, you'll probably like the full game just as much.

Re: Risen
I've been playing the last 5 hours or so and this game is already one of my top RPG's... PB took everything great about the Gothic series and gave it a facelift. The gameplay and atmosphere are great, graphics are very good, overall its a very solid RPG. The whole time, I havent encountered any problems at all, which for PB says alot lol. Oh I should mention, the difficulty of the game is formidable - its actually hard!
Honestly, Jowood can **** off. Even though they took gothic away from PB, they still havent fixed G3, then release an expansion to a broken game (some ****ty developer in India) that made the whole thing even worse!

Re: Risen
Well, since Steam had extra DRM in the form of TAGES with activation, I asked for a refund to get the retail version, and to Steam's credit they gave me one.
Of course, now I no longer have access to the game. Ran to wal-mart but they don't have it, too late to go anywhere else. Dang. Hopefully gamestop has it tomorrow.

Re: Risen
Eh. The demo seems sort of fun, but I won't be buying this right now. The demo didn't allow much so there is still so much left I have questions about that should have been solved by playing the demo...

Re: Risen
I want this game badly. To the people who own it, is the world expansive like Gothic 3? That is one of the main aspects of Gothic 3 that I loved. That is a buying factor for me. Some people compared Risen to Fable 2's world, I hope that isn't the case.
