This game was just awesome back in the days. But what about Gothic 3 without Community patch? Isn't it disastrous?

I wonder how many of the game's bugs make their way into this edition. Bet Lares is still broken as shit in G2 lol.
 
Good, I'm glad to see original Gothic games on consoles and not just the remake. Finally console gamers can enjoy very these fantastic RPGs, very ahead from their time! The sense of progression is one of the best of the genre and the world design is very inmersive even nowadays. You start like an almost defenless nobody, there isn't autolevel or compass of any kind, combat is about "every movement is important and don't try to fight every enemy" and the world doesn't move around you and it won't treat you nicely.

There are some flaws (like the inventory in the first game and the third not being as good as previous ones), but still very unique games and you'll see where Risen and Elex came from. Hell, even I would say CD Projekt took some inspiration from Gothic for The Witcher 3.

I'm sorry, 30€ per game? Are they crazy? 60€ for the entire collection should be the maximum.

Not to mention they're delaying Gothic 1 Classic on purpose to convince more people to pre-order the remake.

-Interesting that Gothic Classic 1 is getting an IOS-port.
-It sucks that there won't be a Switch 1 port of Gothic Classic 3, I have the first two for Switch 1, and would have loved to have the whole trilogy on that system.
-"Xbox Series (disc, but content download required)" - what is that, like a keycard disc?
-I can't wait for Gothic Classic 3, probably my most wanted game of 2026.
 
Huge flex :messenger_beaming:

Is the card hand signed ? It would be a not easy to do for the devs i suppose but you never know..
