Batman: AA is amazing. Picked it up on the SE week, and recently played and finished it. It's an awesome game and Poison Ivy has a gorgeous ass.

I think most would say no, as most people don't create maps. However a more interesting question might be if this map editor, along with allowing you to create maps, was required to play user created maps as well. More people might say yes, but you would be splitting the community as well.

Gothic 3 is okay if you get the latest user patch, but it's still pretty janky and runs worse than it should. I enjoyed it, though.
All I've heard about the Forsaken Gods expansion is that it was outsourced to some Indian studio and was released as a terrible buggy mess. I don't know if it ever got fixed up, but it's probably best if you avoid it for now.

I'd love an answer to this too. I've beat the game on 360 twice already but I might pick it up if the extra content is worth it.

This whole Gothic promotion is due to the Forsaken Gods Enhanced Edition that just came out today, actually. Massive update to the game designed to un-break it.

I checked and it just looks like 4 extra challenge missions, I think one of them is the Scarecrown one-hit challenge that was for pre-orders. The DLC missions I was thinking of might have been PS3 exclusive or some shit, but they're not included with the GOTY edition as far as I see.
So it's not a whole lot extra, not enough to justify a double dip but it does look much better of PC.

That Gothic universe pack for $5.75 seems mighty appealing right now, tough i'm not entirely sold. I saw a gameplay video of Gothic 2 on youtube and the combat didn't seem too hot but some of the quests seemed pretty interesting and somewhat fucked up, to those that have played Gothic would you mind telling me in a few words what's the appeal?

Is the Forsaken Gods a standalone expansion, or is Gothic 3 needed?

Exploring the world is incredibly rewarding, and you quickly learn you need to value your life when exploring due to the no hand-holding difficulty, makes for some great tension. It's like Oblivion scaled back just enough so that everything feels like it has a purpose and there isn't 100 generic dungeons of the same thing you just did.
When I played Gothic 1 for the first time a few years back, it really drew me in to the world it creates despite its looks, I'd say even more than Risen is now, but there may be some rose-tinted haze through the crystal ball.
That changelog for Forsaken Gods EE is pretty sweet sounding, wonder if it plays nice with the community patch? Probably need to just give it a few months.

While I cancelled my preorder, buying it soon isn't out of the question if it is actually good, so be sure to post impressions in the Crysis 2 OT. I can't really put much stock in reviews or what the console-centric folks are saying when deciding whether I should buy it.

Gothic 1 and 2 are pretty old these days, and have a sort of archaic control scheme (no mouse-based camera control) but are very well-regarded by hardcore crpg fans. 2 is usually considered to be the best Gothic game.
Gothic 3 has a very ambitious game world, and had a lot of issues at release but the community patches have fixed a lot.
Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods (standalone expansion) wasn't done by Piranha Bytes (creators of Gothic 1, 2, 3, and Risen 1 and 2), and was completely unplayable at release but today JoWood released the Enhanced Edition that appears to fix a lot that was wrong with it, but it's still probably at best only for folks who played the previous Gothic titles and want more content, rather than being anything like the go-to Gothic title to get.
Gothic 4: Arcania is a consolized baby game also not done by Piranha Bytes.
Get the Gothic Universe pack for $5. Gothic 1, 2, and 3.
I'm really on the fence for the Gothic bundle.
I own retail copies all of them except 4, but these are the kind of games I'd like to have on Steam.
Is 4 at least good in an rpg-lite sort of way? The demo didn't turn me off, is it at least more of that? Or does it get much worse?

All of them are worth it IMO. Gothic 4 is not like the others (it's closer to something like, I dunno, maybe a low-budget version of Fable without the fart jokes) but it's not completely terrible. If you buy the super-cheap pack and don't like it, you're only out a couple of bucks.Spire said:
Quick EDIT: oh, I didn't see the Universe bundle on there. Yeah, get that one. That's the "essential" Gothic.
It's much, much better than the demo. But yeah, what Evilore said.nexen said:

Thanks for the impressions Minsc! That does sound pretty good, i can live with no hand-holding so that's cool too plus i like exporing. Gonna think it over a bit more tough.

Gothic 4 is a bad game, but it's still kinda fun. Not really "open world" though, it's actually very linear. You pretty much go in a straight line from beginning to end, and although you can return to previous locations, there's never a need to unless you want to collect all the jiggys, which I wouldn't recommend.

Part 2 has mouse control, you just have to enable it. You can also play with the standard WSAD style as well.
Edit: It's implemented pretty shitty though.
