| Gothic is awesome, controls rule, best CRPG since Fallout 2 |
|
...maybe better but I haven't finished it yet. All I can say is damn this game is cool. Absolutely brilliant stuff. Gamespot review was such utter crap the interface and controls take about 10 minutes to get used to. People who listen to these arrogant no skills having reviewers and pass up Gothic are really missing out on a true beauty of a game. |

got that right, just combat is a bit dicy, if your buddy is also fighting, the crosshair can switch to him and you attack him instead |

If you wonder why nobody replies: we had many discussions a year ago. With the result that Gothic is the best CRPG since Fallout 2.

I think Gothic is better than Fallout 2, but it's because I never manage to complete F2

...just using the standard terminology for this genre of games ... i prefer to call them stroy playing games as they invariably don't allow for much role playing but I haven't been able to get story playing game to take off as a worldwide accepted term yet .... |

I agree with you there. I personally don't understand what all the fuss was about with the controls. Yeah they are a little bit different, but not that hard to get used to. |

I personally loved the controls for Gothic. Once you got them down, it made a lot of sense. You could do just about everything with different combinations of five keys, rather than having each action specific to an individual key. I think more games should use it.
Gamespot must be the worst gamers in the world. I swear, more than likely, when they give a game a bad review, it's because they thought it was too hard.
And yes, it is a Computer Roleplaying Game |

Or... neither Fallout nor Gothic were very good RPGs.
Fallout 2 never stood much of a chance against Baldur's Gate, and Gothic ends up on my RPG-hybrid list with games like Diablo 1&2 and DS.

Well, Hexy, it might just be a matter of taste.
Baldur's Gate was one of the few games I ditched rather soon because it managed to bore me. A lot. Even though other people absolutely loved it. The same with Dungeon Siege, one of the most Jaz-boring games ever. Or Neverwinter Nights. Or Max Payne (right, I 'm not going by genres here because genres mean nothing to me). Gothic, on the other hand, managed to keep me entertained even though others absolutely hated it.
So you might have to accept the fact that there are people who like some stat-light games better than you like stat-heavy games.
As for what qualifies a computer game as a RPG... well, nothing, really. So far there's been no so-called CRPG that managed to capture the feeling of a 'real' RPG. And even in the 'real' genre I for my part prefer stat-light games. I don't want to have my fun spoiled by being forced to juggle stats... it's the 'being there' feeling which counts for me.
