I have an abonnement of Gamestar for seven years now. Trust me, they have no idea about hardware. They are just the best gamers mag in Germany but don't ask them for hardware issues.;)

Hmm I don't know. My Abonnement is not a year ago and I never bought the mag before. :lol:

Which magazine is better for things like that in your opinion?

HardwareLuxx. In general most printed mags concerning HW are not up to date. They simply can't. I like to read online: Hardwareluxx, Computerbase, Heise, Andatech and so on...

Hmmm, lets hope its true. An Official in the German forum said it doesn't support WS. Maybe the new Goldmaster 2 will. :)

My friend really enjoyed 1 but never got around to playing 2. I may have to borrow 'em off him and try em out a bit before giving 3 a whirl.

At the very least I'm sure it'll be a nice transition game to some others coming out this season :P.

The first review of Gothic 3 is out. They gave it an 8.5

Check it out here

First czech mega-review
http://games.tiscali.cz/reviews/gothic3/index.asp, 84% but only because it is "buggy", they said they would give more then 90 if it was not.

Their opinions: Very top-hardware demanding game (not just graphics card and memory, but processor as well - in towns with lost of people was not X2 3800 enough). Very nice game for all those that love RPGs. If you did not play Gothic 1+2, you will be i trouble, as the game does not introduce you to the storyline.

Well, I'll give this game a few months for some bug-fixing patches to be released. After Titan Quest, I'm not buying games on the day of release any more...

...that said, I bought Deus Ex the day it was released, and had no end of fun and no bugs...

Me too. Gothic 3 is really disappointing. :( They had so much time and worked out such a horrible program. The look is much worse than Oblivion but it needs even more powerful PCs. The fighting system is just a joke. All these bugs are destroying the atmosphere.

Today I decided to go for another RPG: VAMPIRE BLOODLINES. Sure it was very buggy at its release, but the community developed it to a great RPG...actually much better than Gothic 3.
I also keep DEUS EX in mind. A great game! But its sucessor Invisible War destroyed all my hopes for an worthy Deus Ex 2. This happend to Railroad Tycoon 2, to Master of Orion 2, to Betrayal at Krondor and to Fallout 2. Now its Gothic which dies. :( It seems that all these games I really enjoyed in the past are followed by terrible sucessors which mark the end of some excellent gaming ideas.:(

Blue, have you played the game already? Your last post made it sound like you have. I know it was already released in some countries. If so, what is it that you don't like?

I've read the previews and I haven't read anything that would disuade me from playing. People commenting on the quirky combat system, but I liked the combat system of the previous games. Bugs, sure, but they get patched. I think it's a bit early to just write this game off.

Oblivion was eye candy, nothing more. I felt the scaling world completely ruined the game. The only way the game was playable was heavily modded for me. So the reviews stating this game is not like Oblivion actually make me want to play it more. :)
