00:00 Intro
01:41 Graphics and Performance
02:48 Gameplay
05:40 Story
07:10 Story (Spoilers)
16:45 Conclusion - เกม
I think that Marvin being Scar has sense. Marvin was... trying to be heroic and defeat evil idiots. And he was betrayed by people that he saved. That is rather good reason for change of heart. And if he was thrown to colony with Gomez then they had time to knew each other. And when Riordian and rest make barier Marvin decide to rule over with Gomez but not being at the top. This has a lot of sense.
My point wasn't that it didn't make sense, it was that it didn't make sense for MY Marvin. Since Marvin becomes Scar no matter what your choices are, it makes them useless in determining Marvin's future. MY Marvin forgave the kidnappers of Jorn and chose to be a "good" person throughout the game, so ideally the ending would show Marvin stray away from being Scar, but it doesn't. Of course, this is assuming that Marvin will become Scar no matter what after Archolos' ending. This could've been solved if the devs accounted for your decisions and added a couple more ending pictures showing Marvin as still Marvin or as Scar.
Great review and agree with your conclusions. Just finished it this week, huge Gothic fan and this is easily the best one. Absolutely loved it and was blown away, couldn't believe modders made the best game in the series.
Like every other PB game, the modders even stayed so faithful to the formula that they also rushed/botched the last 2 chapters after what was a fantastic Chapter 1-4 lol.
They made the last two chapters shorter by design. Someone said in discord they didn't want to drag the story right before it was about to be concluded and I think they made it work just right.
Gothic remake this year 31st dec 2024 yeeeessss....This game myrtana i played last year n just loved it sooo much,tried gothic 1 but just couldent play it due to graphics n other stuff that just made me sick n cant describe how i felt during the 1st game last year(so i had to stop playing it w no return)
Thanks 4 video of a great game(w some fixes n mods that is needed to make game better)...
New DatLJGuy review on Archolos? It's a christmas miracle!
Respect the dedication to the grind, Qing drip clad king.
Nostalgia for the OG Gothic titles aside, completely echo your sentiment on the improvements. Pretty much every strength from the original Gothic I+II has been elaborated & makes in indeed the best Gothic title to date, as the proper spiritual successor to be genuinely considered as Gothic III for a proper trilogy. The best balance of increasing the scope, while not compromising on the fundamental strengths of the immersive experience. Hands down, the best main quests, side quests & consequential changes to the world throughout the chapters of the entire franchise. The ending 'summary' contributed even more to the replay value by doing more quests to see an different ending a la Fallout: New Vegas. For an stand-alone 'mod', the quality of the soundtrack is staggering as well & a perfect continuation of the original OST for Gothic I+II. All the respect for The Chronicles of Myrtana Team for perfectly understanding the essence of the franchise & their outpouring of dedication & love for the source material. Sublime. Simple as.
Going back to Gothic I+II during the quarantine days & being fully immersed with the proper spiritual successor Chronicles of Myrtana: Archolos was the first time that I've genuinely enjoyed playing games since 2015/16. The nostalgia was crazy & it got (surprisingly) even better thanks to the Polish madmen. (sorry, went a bit of the deep end with this comment)
Cheers & best wishes in advance for a merry christmas & a happy new year, ya absolute madlad! ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡° )
There is a guide of technical issues to fix most errores, in my case it crashed like 5 times during the whole gameplay and i did explored every corner, 80 hours that i enjoyed totallie.
me confused about some criticism in this video
also this video : playtime 41 hours when my playtime was 153 hours
me : oh now i understand
What are you confused about?
@@DatLJGuy that some of the criticism i disagree with because my run was 153 hours yours was 41 so i feel that you would have better view of it if your playtime was longer
@@aligmal5031 Any examples? A longer playtime doesn't mean everything. Someone could have 200 hours in this game just walking around sightseeing and won't be able to comment on the combat or story. Or if you're someone who likes to replay games a billion times, you could discover some secrets, but mostly, you're just doing the same things you did the first time. I've beaten the game and have done a bit of everything so I'm at least qualified to review it. I mean, I guess if you wanna quantify qualification, I can't stop you, but I've done a lot of reviews and played many other action RPGs including the Piranha Bytes games so i would like to think I know at least a little of what I'm talking about.
You know there's an alternative ending, if you focus on the main quest.
The one where Jorn lives? Yup lol
must u play gothic 1 and 2 before u play this
I think so.
Edit: While it's a prequel, I think playing the prior games will ease you into Archolos' gameplay better.
No you absolutely dont have to play G1 and 2 before playing this. Storyline in Archolos is not sequel to Gothic series, but rather standalone game
The true Goth GF
One can only dream.
GOTHIC this, GOTHIC that
why dont you GO get yourself a THIC girlfriend???
jk i love u great video as always, ring elden when?
I think I'll play Sekiro instead.
@@DatLJGuy NOOOOOOO
@@MHGooseMH I wait til dlc.
@@DatLJGuy honestly fair enough
Starfield review when?
My review: is aight i guess.
I don't understand why you made this video. just annoying, not worth watching, it seems forced.
What do you mean?
the whole video. no specific point in the video.@@DatLJGuy
@@Tottokamm The point is I like the video game. What's there not to get?
yes, it seems you were forced or persuaded to "like it" and randomly say something about the game.
But I immediately notice that you don't understand the game, gameplay and overall experience of this gaming topic.@@DatLJGuy
Forced? By who? I admit I'm not a hardcore fan of Gothic but I still like what it's trying to do. Did you expect me to do an in-depth analysis of the game? That's not what I do. I just point out what I like or don't like about a game.
