Gothic 3 is not a budget title, for $40 I expect a pleasant gameplay experience not frustration. That’s like paying a guy $40 to punch you in the face repeatedly. Until they release a patch for this game that fixes these issues, this game will collect dust on my shelf. From what I understand, the previous two Gothic games were also notoriously buggy, so if fans were use to those they’ll probable be use to this. But for those of you looking for a grand adventure with limitless possibilities, go with either Morrowind or Oblivion.

This is a fun game once you get past the problems, though most gamers will be quickly turned off of this game due to the problems. Graphical issues are noticeable from the moment you start the game. A jumpy combat system will manage to get even the best of players killed in a simple fight from time to time. Enemies that appear out of no where will make many just decide to play another RPG, such as Neverwinter Nights 2, or Oblivion. Hopefully this game will be fixed in another patch or two, and will be better to play, but for now, it just feels tedious more often than fun. If you are a fan of the series it might be worth checking out, otherwise, my opinion is that this one isn't worth the time.
