next official stream is up, with pirates.
and it shows/confirms that muskets are again primary weapons.
Risen 3 is also the top seller on steam right now.

Gamersyde's Risen 3 PC videos: http://www.gamersyde.com/news_our_pc_videos_of_risen_3-15646_en.html
This is as stupid a video as the boar one about Gothic 3 or the one about Risen with that translation mistake. Just people bashing "some janky European RPG" for the sake of bashing. Then they proceed to praise crap like The Elder Scrolls series.
is it wrong if i had fun with both? gothic 3 was a mess btw. had the first edition so don't even try to convince me otherwise (still had fun with it) and isn't witcher another european rpg?
i don''t think thats how it works. but if its easyer for you then.
ok they just say it to bash european games.

If Jim hates it despite somehow loving risen 2 (what?) I'm staying far clear of this game

Considering how "Risen 1 put him off fairly quickly" (his own words) I would have an argument against that line of thought.If Jim hates it despite somehow loving risen 2 (what?) I'm staying far clear of this game
Anyway, i'm going to read his review in full and then play the game before calling his score bullshit... But that's surely how I'm incline to see it now, especially considered those other reviews claiming net improvements from the previous one.
EDIT: Ok, I *did* just read his review. His main, repeated complaint across the whole article (a shitload of quests, with lots of them as prerequirements to progress in other quests) doesn't strike me as a bad thing at all, but I guess I won't be able to tell for sure until I'll try it myself.
The first paragraph of this review...(will spoiler tag it just in case)
what the fuck? I thought they said the hero is a new guy now he is the old one (and old one will be their just as npc)? did they switched or something?
also Patty is not the hero's sister.

no you are right. and I dont think the reviewer necessarily contradicts that in that paragraph, its not that clear, but its also possible that he misunderstood the story.

I'm guessing it's just him getting the story wrong.
PC Gamer's reviewer also says the same thing as Strategyinformer dude.

http://www.pcgamer.com/review/risen-3-titan-lords-review/
the plot thickens :/
or the two reviewers, Leif Johnson and Chris Capel just got super confused by the story.
Review from sector.sk (biggest gaming website in Slovakia) - 8/10 http://www.sector.sk/recenzia/30375/risen-3-titan-lords.htm
+ decent story, length about 30 hours, good RPG systems, naval battles, return of favorites characters
- combat system, almost nothing new - no innovations, the last missions are boring and just about killing stuff and nothing else, too much (unnecessary) swearing in conversations

they both make the same mistake, they think the hero is the same. but thats not true, believe me.
its understandable though, PB heroes never have names. but honestly, it doesnt really matter does it.
still, its a different hero.
the one from risen 2 is in the game, too, as an NPC, there are screenshots.
btw. game is unlocked now in the US

Any 360 Reviews yet?
That's exactly what I came to ask. I fear if they only sent PC versions out to be reviewed then the 360 version might be a lot worse.

I found it hilarious. If Jim wanted to showcase how terrible or whatever the game is, he failed for me. I like these random hilarity moments in my RPGs. Like the one time I played Two Worlds 2 and after a long stupid dialogue my main hero just said "I Don't have time for this bullshit" and that was that
Also, from the gamersyde videos the world looks fun to explore as ever, so I will probably get this once I see it for 35 dollars or less. I enjoy Piranha RPGs. Just wish the main hero wasn't channeling his inner Christian Batman Bale. The only characters I like with growly voice are Geralt. And Solid Snake.

Can't talk about Risen 3, but typically it's the strong part of any PB game.
will give my first impressions on this game in 2 days.
just so you guys know where i am comming from:
Loved Gothic 1 (game blew my mind as a kid 9/10)
Loved Gothic 2 (immature³:
9/10)
liked Gothic 3 with community patch. (i give it an 8/10 unpatched its a 6/10 if it works)
risen 1 was great but had some minor flaws for me (8/10)
risen 2 was mäh, the whole setting was just mäh... can't even express it but still finished it. (6/10 could be i am rather generous here because of nostalgiareasons for the gothics)
liked divinity 2 even with its flaws. (7/10)
i am hyped as i am pretty nostalgic for gothiclike titles...
gonna quoute this post when i give my opinion.
anyone here who invested some time already and can sweeten it for me? :>

Looking at these Gamersyde videos right now.
This game is... so strange. It makes me feel almost schizophrenic.
One moment I'm pleased at how something looks remarkably better than in the previous game, one moment later I'm pissed about some glaring flaw in Risen 2 that wasn't fix or at some recycled content.

beginning is very linear, I have just reached the part where the game opens up and it gets better. 2 things that bother me already: all the maps are available from start, just why?
I dont feel the pirana byte dialogue charme yet, dont know why. maybe its the new hero voice, maybe its because I finished both other risen games in the past 3 weeks.
combat system is very different now, completely new. you roll all the time and make lunging attacks basically. cant say I think its worse, because I always hated playing melee in piranha bytes games. so I understand when people say its better. but people who liked the old melee gameplay will be very very disappointed.

For those asking about the console versions, I'm playing on PS3. The graphics are shit and the story and voice acting are really cheesy (but for some reason I'm loving the crappiness of the story), but I'll likely sink some hours into this game after I beat Diablo III UEE on PS4. It's enjoyable. I couldn't get into Risen 2 at all.
He is new, and yes, he's Patty's brother.

Here is my Risen 3 review. Just a laid back take. Nothing too in depth but my thoughts. Overall I like it, just the combat feels a bit lacking for me.

I put 2 hours in. Melee combat is better that R2, but it's just serviceable. I gave up on R2 after three hours because the combat was terrible, so this is a positive.
Personally, I think the environment graphics are gorgeous. The world building is pure PB awesome as well.
Dialog is cheesy, but some of it is quite humorous.
I'm overall pretty pleased with the game so far.
This is on a PC playing 1080p comfy couch.

Picked this up with $10 off at GMG after seeing reviews saying it fixed risen 2 issues. I really disliked risen 2 after enjoying their previous games.
Loving it so far after adjusting graphically, combat being a big improvement, world design reminds me of their earlier great games. You can use Xbox controller if you enable from options.
This turned out a lot better than sacred 3

I notice there is still the issue with the LOD popping in as you get close. There was a way to fix this in risen 2,i hope the same fix can be done for this game.
Watching some video, there are many improvements but old locations and Risen 2 like floaty melee combat really overshadows the improvements.They really needed to bring back Risen 1 combat and avoid reuse Risen 2 locations.
thing is in that review the reviewer said he is the same old hero(Risen 1/2) and Patty is his sister. I was replaying to that (as in Patty is not the old hero's sister).

Yeah, his sound is the most annoying I've heard on twitch yet lol
Any PC players having issues re-binding keys? I'm a left handed mouse user, so I normally re-bind keys to the right side of the keyboard. Every key I try to bind shows up as "B". Seeing how there is only one "B" on the keyboard I can only bind one key. Really strange.
At least the Xbox controller works perfectly out of the box.
