Gothic 3 is a worthy sequel to Gothic 2 in terms of being hard and unforgiving but at the same time (and because of) be interesting and involving to play. It still got it's fair share of problems and after a few patches you would think they had fixed most of them but sadly this is not the case. The amount of content in the game does add up for many of it's shortcomings but despite that it's hard to overlook many of the problems.
And the negative review is at Gamehelper with an overall score of 2.3/10:
A patch should make a working game better, tweaking balance issues and maybe adding little graphical touches or content, not be used to fix major performance issues that render the game unplayable. There are many other horrible aspects I can mention, such as ambient sound or sound effects randomly disappearing from the game, a clunky interface, lack of a cursor or targeting icon, poor collision detection; but there are also good aspects I didn’t mention, like a unique leveling system, an engrossing story, and the high levels of interactivity. It’s all moot though; performance issues with the game are rampant and prevent long-term fun. I wanted to play this game so badly, but cannot recommend it to anyone.
