And that's one more reason why true gamers are found on the PC. Look at this guy -he's even comparing Fallout 3 with Risen :). The combat came from the Gothic series, genious, as well as the inspiration for the world, dialogues. Anyone who played that can tell you the combat is quite complex and brutal and the RPG elements are deep. Don't know what you smoked before this review...
@THE16THPHANTOM Video games began on the console, and they will always be at their best on the console. Besides I don't want to spend over $1000 on a fucking computer so I can play games on it. I would rather just buy an Xbox.
it all comes down to preference.i grew up playing computer games and prefer computer games over consoles, so everything console i am anti. and i like spending money on my computer(got to have something to waste money on), infact i upgrade every 3 months if i got the money. As for games there games best suited for computers and those best suited for console and this one is not suited for console.
i effin love this game. not the best in the world, but more rpg than a lot of stuff out these days. these types of games are becoming rare, hopefully risen 2 will be just as good or better
My biggest gripe with the game is the questing. Every single quest literally boils down to a fetch quest. Even the elaborate multi part story quests (which can last hours and hours) boil down to go here get this come back. And once you hit mid game you are literally just getting items to progress the story whether it be crystal disks, skulls, golden busts or armour pieces...it just gets a bit tiresome near the end. Replay value is high since game changing decisions are made early on.
I enjoyed Risen,..a lot in fact. The start was hard...but in my opinion was a big positive. Every time you stepped out into the wild you were in constant danger of dying making the world feel large, expansive and dangerous. On many occasions i ventured deeper into the island to explore for new loot, treasures and herbs to brew potions and every time was thrilling since i could bump into a ghoul, ogre or ashbeast...all 3 of which are very powerful early and even mid game.
The difficulty curve is steep which flattens considerably when you get towards the end of the game, which is unfortunate especially when expectations of epic fights sadly turn into lacklustre encounters.
Also the item upgrades are another oddity. The pacing of weapon progression was fine at the start, but towards the end I was with around 4-5 good weapons unused.
For fans there is alot in this. But the average score is justified given its pacing and disappointing conclusion.
I think this is a fair review. I've just completed the PC version and the points made about the combat system is spot on. It can vary from being very fun to extremely unresponsive and frustrating. Case in point melee combat. Investing in max points should mean faster swings and longer combo sequences, but given the first attack advantage that all the enemies have, you're often resorting back to the level 1 tactics that you employed at the start of the game.
"hit one button to attack" - basically you need to learn how to fight and learning from npcs that can teach you things like counter attack and heavy attacks [can't remember how they called it in risen] but first you need to learn how to fight to fight properly
CLEARLY gamesweasel haven't played the game or they just suck at gaming.
Risen puts down games like oblivion,dragon age,the witcher etc.although it's been developed by a relatively small company,that's why many gamesites dumbed it down.
I've found gamesweasel to be pretty accurate. Same for zeitgeist. As for IGN, I have caught them not playing a game thoroughly (Dragon age 2) and then reviewing it anyway. As for RISEN, the Gothic series, and Divinity series, they are made by small design company games with comparitively small budgets; in other words, they are not Elder Scrolls. But so what? These companies continue to come up with their own odd little twists on fantasy settings and that's a good thing.
i played some of this game i don't like it ....number one it's a cheap rip off to gothic sries they have copied 90% of gothic game and given you pretty average graphics and combat system ..the game feels like a freeware type game it's got no depth feel to it like a game gothic,elderscrolls or tow owrlds have ..i think it was designed and programed very cheaply i prefer good gameplay over graphics but this game sucks ..my opnion not yours don't hate
I'm only in Chapter 1; wait no, in damn beach at CHAPTER 1. like 50 SECOND into the game and I have died 120 TIMES. WHAT THE FUCK. WHERE THE FUCK IS DOLGAR...some drunk dude told me to go east and I got RAPED by War crickets and Ogres in a CAVE with NO BRIDGE that I CAN'T CROSS to even get to DOLGAR.
@TheSailor085 Yeah the game isn't really so forgiving to newbies. Here's what you do, you should follow the path but don't stray off and find a city as soon as possible. Once there you should (if you don't have one already) Buy a map. Also, if you see a monster that you think is stronger then you, do not attempt to fight it. Run like Belliar is after you.
@SiloTearz Actually, Fallout 3 is an RPG with FPS mechanics. Big difference. Risen and Fallout 3 are both different, but they are also in the same genre. Stop being stupid.
wow, ANYTIME someone gives a game a bad score everyone starts talking about how they don't play the games and so on. it's one persons oppiong people, get the fuck over yourselfs.
@wuzzer17 its all up to you basically this game defies the invincible npc rule and keeps makes every movement you make critical. i've never played 2 worlds so i cant say for sure.
I actually didn't like fable 3, the story mode was really short, there was basically no variety as far as clothes and weapons go, and the story wasn't even that interesting.
@SuperSonic1332 i have the xbox version and it plays fine. pc version is of course ideal but the xbox version is still very enjoyable and addicting. risen is the most underrated game ive played recently.
Hey guys, i can't get this on PC because i can't run it, is it worth it on the Xbox 360? I managed to run the Demo on low settings (With tons of lag) and found it to be quite fun. Has anyone played this on Xbox 360 and what are your suggestions?
@TheMetalpocalypse i have the 360 version (as my computer cant handle pc version), and I find it very enjoyable. the graphics are unpolished, and outdated, but the gameplay is fantastic, and it doesnt hold you by the hand
So who paid you to advertise Fallout 3 in a game review. You just don't do that. You really shouldn't review games. You really don't know what your doing.
@slayer0390 if you dont like gamesweasel dont watch their videos, its the most basic thing on youtube and yet no one understands this.
id rather watch this then ign reviews they give score based on what they get paid for the review and they dont play the games at all. and keep in mind most reviews are based around personal opinion.
@slayer0390 this is their fucking opinion not yours and its not that good you've never played fallout, witcher, elder scrolls, dragon age, mass effect have you?
Graphics don't make a game. Fable 1 was amazing. Fable 2 and 3 are trying to reach the high bar the first one set but fell far short of it despite the graphics upgrades.
Well, I gotta agree on 1 thing with this guy - the 360 version is horrible. I've beaten the game twice on the PC and later tried it on the 360 at a friends house - maybe I was spoiled from playing on the PC, but the 360 version was BAD, just BAD!
i like it so far but ive heard the world is huge and i look at my world map and i can walk from the top to the bottom in about 3 mins so im confused is the world map split into sections or what?
The most idiotic review ever. Graphics dosent make a good game, fighting is just like clicking one button, tell me a game that isnt like that and gameweasel suck ass.
How come ? Both are RPG .The thing is that in Risen you can only play 3rd person while in Fallout 3 ,you can play eather 1st person or 3rd person.
This game is played in a medieval era ,while fallout 3 is played ??after?? a post nuclear war .Not sure exactly.
Anyway ,i played both games ,and i personally like more this graphic than that ugly ,MUDDY (now that's a muddy place ,not this one) graphic that fallout 3 has.
Fallout 3? It's not really all that actiony in the first place when you just simply pause the game and shoot at other things in a sort of turn based style. I see action RPGS as a continuous flow of action from one scene to the next. It's my opinion, Fallout doesn't really have that and I have trouble seeing it as a ARPG.
@MeteorArmageddon ya it is, they might not be the same exact kind of rpg but they are pretty close. yes risen is a more hardcore king of game, but still.....
@MeteorArmageddon ya it is, they might not be the same exact kind of rpg but they are pretty close. yes risen is a more hardcore kind of game, but still..... (my bad, sry for mispel)
Why is magic a totally joke in this game? To learn magic you need to fight your way to the magic school so youre using your starting exp points on fighting. And when you learn magic you realize that you have to manually aim your magicspells and you dont regain any mana... And starting with magic at lvl 10 or higher, you do 0 damage. What is this crap?
To all the people saying he only said negative things, learn to listen. He said just as many positive things as he did negative things, and specifically stated that the game is probably better on the PC.
Look if a game is mediocre, than it's mediocre. Go ahead, watch the video again, count the positive remarks vs the negative remarks, you'll find the numbers aren't too far apart.
@Skillbinator Obviously I did want to hear it if I watched it right? I was hoping maybe weasel had some good point sto say about a game for once, but alas he doesn't as per usual. He should try to point out the good points of games more often.
@Doyledeth He did make some good points about the content of the game. Although theres not much to say about a game thats supposedly average, according to not just his reviews. The PC version is apparently better, like he says.
@Skillbinator Watch his other reviews, he mostly has bad things to say and never really evens out the good and the bad. Most of the games he says that are bad are actually decent to good. Like risen...
whot an retarded arse.. he says that the game is buggy.. but he says also he recommends fallout goty edition.. i mean fallout 3 was a great game but also the most buggiest game of the last few years
wait so because the company actually uses paralinguistic features in their dialog it's a bad thing
are you high ??? compared to i.e. fallout 3 game of the year edition which has stiff animation , poor frame rate and lots of graphic glitches also fuck all to do in the wasteland with oh no its another raider
oh no its another annoying bug thing that follows me for fucking ever and spits acid at me from the other side of the fucking moon
Like he sayd ''Risen of the xbox360 gets and 5 out of 10'' he says that on the 360 its sucks but maybe on the pc its better he hasnt played it on the pc so come on dont be a bunch of fanboys and dont be mad about his thoughts about the game. your all like ''ITS THE BEST GAME EVA!!!! What ? 5 out of 10 !?!?!?! How dear you im gonna spam your video write comments that you suck Gamesweasel
@MultiMar16 us stupid virgin fanboys watch them in the hope of getting a serious game review. Now that you got your reply you can start giving us sex lessons.
ah come on, that guy reviewed a console version, and that i know it's made bad on xbox360, simplified graphics and a hard controls, but on PC it's good.

'get yourself Fallout 3'. what the hell? what the hell?! that isn't even the same genre

@MeteorArmageddon
How come ? Both are RPG .The thing is that in Risen you can only play 3rd person while in Fallout 3 ,you can play eather 1st person or 3rd person.
This game is played in a medieval era ,while fallout 3 is played ??after?? a post nuclear war .Not sure exactly.
Anyway ,i played both games ,and i personally like more this graphic than that ugly ,MUDDY (now that's a muddy place ,not this one) graphic that fallout 3 has.
This game is the best in my opinion

Fallout 3? It's not really all that actiony in the first place when you just simply pause the game and shoot at other things in a sort of turn based style. I see action RPGS as a continuous flow of action from one scene to the next. It's my opinion, Fallout doesn't really have that and I have trouble seeing it as a ARPG.

@MeteorArmageddon He said if you want a good rpg on the console, get FO3. He's just saying Risen isn't a great console rpg.

@InsideAVitalSuit Thats like saying Call Of Duty and Socom are both shooters, ergo its fair to compare them.

How can you cover a game never mind a 60 hr RPG in less than 2mins minus the intro, and help someone like me that can't decide to buy it or not?

Why is magic a totally joke in this game? To learn magic you need to fight your way to the magic school so youre using your starting exp points on fighting. And when you learn magic you realize that you have to manually aim your magicspells and you dont regain any mana... And starting with magic at lvl 10 or higher, you do 0 damage. What is this crap?

To all the people saying he only said negative things, learn to listen. He said just as many positive things as he did negative things, and specifically stated that the game is probably better on the PC.
Look if a game is mediocre, than it's mediocre. Go ahead, watch the video again, count the positive remarks vs the negative remarks, you'll find the numbers aren't too far apart.
People just need to learn to listen.

@Skillbinator Obviously I did want to hear it if I watched it right? I was hoping maybe weasel had some good point sto say about a game for once, but alas he doesn't as per usual. He should try to point out the good points of games more often.
Doyledeth 1 year ago
@Doyledeth He did make some good points about the content of the game. Although theres not much to say about a game thats supposedly average, according to not just his reviews. The PC version is apparently better, like he says.
Skillbinator 1 year ago
@Skillbinator Watch his other reviews, he mostly has bad things to say and never really evens out the good and the bad. Most of the games he says that are bad are actually decent to good. Like risen...

@Doyledeth Ive followed his reviews for a long time. While never being particularly detailed he does tend to give the right score.

fallout hasn't got much to do with this theme of games simply because its set in a futuristic environment whereas risen is medieval fantasy
