Next big one?
   

I'm quite bored to death at my desk here at work, so I was browsing through the old posts, new posts and everything between. Now remember the may 8th, there were 142 users on line? That was the date the Morrowind hit the shelves. Just curious, is any game coming in not so distant future that might beat the record? If so which one?

Yes, Gothic 2 seems to be very anticipated.

After I saw the Gothic II prototype yesterday, I have to say: YES.

I will probably buy Gothic II, although I have not played Gothic but for the very beginning of the demo. It impressed me, but the controls were a little rough, IMHO.

You REALLY should play Gothic! Honestly, I suspect everybody had some degree of problems with the controls at first (I know I almost didn't play past the demo). I gave it a try only because I was so bored at the time - and I am very glad I did. I promise you WILL get used to the controls in a very short time and then you will likely be very happy with them - if not even love them. They ARE simple once you get past the learning curve. The game is VERY, VERY worth learning new controls.

The first game i will buy will be Gothic for sure, followed shortly by Gothic 2 ! BTW, all you Gothic fans, i have a question for you. How long (in game playing hours) do you find Gothic lasts if you basically do everything you can do? And does it have high replay value? like is it worth it to play Gothic through once and then start over again because of variability? Thanx in advance.

EDIT -- I just made my 200th post! to be called a "Noble Knight!" WOOT! I have knights and kings in my English bloodline and i always wanted to be a knight. Thanx RPGDOT for making my dreeeeams coooome truuuue! hehe!

hurray!

You're welcome.

To complete Gothic it takes around 60 hours, although you could certainly spend longer than that.
I replayed the game so I could try out each of the camps. I also enjoyed messing around with Marvin mode a lot. Let's see what happens when I drop a troll into the middle of the Old Camp. Bwahaha!

lol I just got Gothic 1 off Ebay for $20 today but I'm really looking foward to Gothic II even though I haven't played but 5 minutes of the Gothic I demo and btw Ammon, I heard on the Gothic board that Gothic 1 lasts on average about 30 hours.
