Devs: We didn't implement a souls-like combat system in this...
Also devs:
- put in console shite lock targeting unlike the original game
- rolling around like a prick unlike the original game
- no back-pedaling, just spinning like a moron, unlike the original game
- ???

Well, there might be some invisible stamina meter but... hey, I doubt it.

Gothic had amazing combat for its time and it can be quite good to this date in comparison to a lot of games, especially RPG's.

I think if you play Gothic today it's probably abysmal in any aspect.
The reason why we remember this game is cause it's the first solid 3th person open worldish action RPG for PC. It was ahead of it's time.

I play Gothic 2 from time to time. Still holds up quite well but controls feels a little stiff or digital in comparison to modern games.
The Chronicles Of Myrtana: Archolos (mod) has a pretty recent 9000+ players peak which speaks for how playable and popular it still is, even though the mechanics are old.

That's Gothic 2, 1 is a lot worse.

I replay both from time to time. Gothic 1 doesn't feel "a lot worse" to me. Pretty similar to Gothic 2.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

from what i remember both were very similar, in fact, in Gothic 2 you can use the Gothic 1 controls since many preferred them.

It was definitely more fun than mindless button mashing, and I can't say I don't like it, but it was very simple. Slash, step back (autoblock), slash, step back. With the first advanced level of weapon skills you could stunlock enemies easily, and regardless of level it was a pain when fighting groups.

And now people bitchin about Oblivion Remastered combat, if you remaster the game maybe modernize/improve the combat mechanics somewhat. |

i wonder how the patch support will be, hard to say with THQ Nordic. I think we can probably forget Crimson Desert type of support, but who knows...
Quite dependent on the sales i guess.
The Gothic fans, on Reddit at least, are so angry about everything with this game, i hope its a minority on the whole.
Someone made a meme where there's an image of original Gothic 1 saying its how it would look and play if those people could decide, and this is 100% correct. They really just want the original game including the graphics, so there is nothing this dev team can do to make them happy i think.
"oh i remember this wall texture from the original game, it had such wonderful flavor to its blur, this new sharp texture with all its details just feels wrong, not the Gothic vibe i want!" etc. I deal with those people as well, doing texture remakes of old games

It will be yank and a small team can never patch this up fast.
As with any game the rational decision is to wait 6-12 months before picking this up.
