I must admit: As a german I had no idea how popular simulator games are in my country. Until I started working in QA. It opened my eyes and made me cry in shame, horror and german.
Poor soul.
Hi Achmed
Now get back to qa testing farming simulator 2077

"ELEX is the latest copy of Gothic 2" is probably the most accurate TL;DR description of a game I've ever heard. Priceless.
True, they literally copied Gorn in there and called him born, lmao
Yep
+companions and flying
Yup, gothic 2 is one of my favourite games of all time. It doesn't hold your hand and you feel like you're actually playing an RPG. i wish there was more games like that.

Real talk, Elex 2 is looking to vastly improve over Elex.
The best RPG Germany ever produced is called Panzerschreck
Good joke. Thanks!
I thought best RPG by Germany is Blitzkrieg.
@@4e34e545e345w3 The Panzerschreck is an RPG. You know... a rocket launcher.
It's not the best Shrek though, that's Mike Myers
Who is himself not the best Mike Myers, that's a fictional serial killer
I lost it at Achmed
Why? It's a standard tanned German name.
I think you mean "Germans of Non-Racist Origins"
Funny, yet not inaccurate.
They're the only Germans who know how to cook beef and lamb properly.
Also they're the only Germans who know how to marry their cousins properly, and how to barely speak German properly.
"The stamina bar is a great feature and adds a lot to the game. There's nothing more satisfying than watching a green bar deplete and replenish in the top left of my screen, as I wait for my cerebral palsy stricken character to accumulate enough energy for his paralized muscles to spring into motion."
Jesus Christ, this line alone deserves a Hugo Award, my personal favourite of all Sseth's videos. Watched this one shamelesly too many times to count.
Mine is review of Heroes of Might and magic III
Sseth is too offensive to be considered for a Hugo.
Which sucks because he's fucking hilarious.
They fixed this problem. In difficulty settings you can now turn off stamina usage in melee combat.

As a german from berlin i can confirm, walking outside results in immediate stabbing
Berlin is basically East Germany.
@@TFrills nah Berlin Kreuzberg and Neuköln are more like Detroit in the 90s
@@Soderbob On the map, it's basically in East Germany though.
Ok so I love Germany, have been to many great cities and towns. Munich, Koln, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf even Hamburg which used to have a bad name years ago but I found charming and had a very pleasant time. Berlin.. Was different. In the two days we stayed there a pusher tried to sell us drugs, basically in the streets, a drunken gentleman of Turkish descent made some very colourful remarks on my girl at the time, when she waved him off he started pushing her with considerable force. Maybe I'm a coward but we ran away(the gentleman wasn't alone btw and fighting strangers in a strange city seemed like a bad idea). The day of the departure another gentleman tried to pickpocket us. Thankfully he was a "pro" because the moment he saw we caught him he said something like :"sorry, my mistake" and quickly walked away. So Germany is cool and fun, Berlin an aquired taste

As a German myself, living just a few kilometers away from Berlin aka the Domed City, I can confirm this as truth.
And with the release of Gothic II version 6.2 aka Elex 2, our forests have also been upgraded to feature big badass wolves and jackals. We here in Germany are very VERY proud of our forests.

The devs must have watched this review since the mental energy reserve exploit is now patched and the flamethrower has a long cooldown between attacks.
I'm glad they finally fixed the whole "people actually having fun in their game" issue. Now I can not play it in peace.

Your content keeps getting consistently better, more polished, crammed with the right type of autistist-relatable jokes and a very satisfying brand of sarcasm and actual honest useful in-depth analysis/review. I hope you keep doing what you're doing.
I'm not sure everyone in the comments is joking though.
The best jokes are the ones that are true.
DeutscherDummer what are you even insinuating. Jokes can be unfunny jokes can be either true or false they're jokes grow up bb.
Exactly, that is a joke. I found that meme funny at first, and depending on the context I still think it is, but some people seem to just use humor to veil and spread actual hatred. Sometimes it is hard to disguish trolls from those people.
People don't spread hatered. In the same way that they don't spread love, envy or any other human emotion. All of them are born inside your brain, they are yours emotions, not someone else. You emotional response to any information from the outside is your own problem and nobodies responsibility.And that's what separates children from adults - responsibility for yourself. People only spread information. And hate speech is orwellian attempt on censorship, nothing more. Stop gobbling down totalitarian leftist propaganda.
A new genre is born...

Wouldn't be Gothic without porn tier voice acting, would it?
Also jokes on anyone who waited for the price of the game to drop, 3 years later and it's still 50$
Joke's on people who stopped waiting
-game wasn't fixed
-price didn't drop
lel got it for 8 deutschmarks at some random keyseller
I donno about that.... some PB games have had meh voice work but others have had great voice work, Risen 1 for example had Lena Headey from GOT, also the dude who did the voice of Gollum in LOTR, loved the voice work in that game.
I got it last week for $15 on sale
i got it for free..... YARR M80!
0:28 Technically, it said to press any key, and the power button is not a key. This one's on you boi.
Where's the any key?
I was expecting a clip of DSP shouting "Wow" when he did that.
Buttons are keys
I am pretty sure some keyboards have a OFF Key...

Well I pressed the house key and the car keys, yet nothing happened.
Horrible programing still.
Elex is by far the best action RPG since 2002 Morrowind and Gothic.
And yes I am German. My name is Fritz.
The Witcher 3?
it's a great RPG, but it's it's second for me: Fallout: New Vegas takes 1st place in my heart, sry.
Maybe because I'm not German (Russian living in Russia).
BlackMetalButterfly Witcher is not a real rpg. Its an action adventure game.
Wut? Care to explain? And don't say because theres no character creator...

Oh boy i hope sseth makes an elex 2 review now!
Elexs has never gotten a more honest and fair review
To be fair Gothic II is pretty good, so I don't mind playing it over and over again.
Too bad, Elex is not Gothic 2. Elex is dog shit, or just another Risen 2.
Halsaufschneider Nah, it's pretty good.

@@thotslayer9914 No, girls do not exist on the internet he's a trap.
I'm playing this game for the first time right now. This review is spot-on, and has to be one of the funniest I have ever watched.
You either recommend me addictive masterpieces of games, or you turn around and shit on the floor and say it's caviar. I love you Seth.
Now you should do a review of actual Gothic II.
goat imo
He should not as he would undoubtedly talk a lot of shit about this great game.
Fajeth88 it's satire
karqz666 yes I too would like a gothic 3 review
He should review Risen too.
They make the same game for 20 years straight, but for some reasone they never managed to make something better than gothic 2 q_q .
Reminds me of valve never releasing a 3rd game for any of their titles
That's crazy talk. Gothic 3 is nothing like Gothic 2, and Risen is similar but its sequels are very different.
You mean Gothic 1
Yes. It's a shame. Lame and boring game concept with absolutely no evolution and fresh creativity. Totally to be avoided.
Risen 1 was very close :)
I am German as well, lived in Berlin most of my life and I LOLd so hard at this. Genius work!
“Germans can’t separate work from leisure.”
This is an actual and long-running real-world stereotype; 19th century had lot of Euros that complained about German tourists doing construction projects for fun on vacation.
I love how you cant see shit 2 meters away from you, but you can see a hill, which is 3 kilometers away. Now that's what I call great graphic design.

When I finished the game in roughly 48 hours or something, I saw that I had around 12 hours of loading screen, since I died that much in the game. The combat is quite challenging and I didn't use a flamethrower, other than that good game!
I am playing Elex at the moment and LOVE IT!!...happy to gave this game a chance to play it and bought it...must play for every RPG lover:)!!!

So... does it not run well on FX processors? I'd actually like to know this, I've got an 8300 myself and was looking forward to getting this game.
All I need is a Vega, and I'm set for Winter!
Hey, just like Gothic 3 got fixed... by the community... several years after the release... and the huge memory leaks are still there...
Yeah.
Even witht the community fixes the game is still garbage
Still stutter freezes to this day.
Sounds like Skyrim and most other Bethesda games, really.
@jocaguz18 Tbh that comment was just a joke. It mostly wen't smoothly for me, too. Except for some game freezes/crashes in Skyrim or New Vegas in random areas. But I only played the console version and that years after release. It may have been different on pc when the games were new and that impression then stuck.
I have very fond memories of Gothic 3 though I recognize how extremely flawed the game is.
The world just felt so comfy to me.
6:00.... Damn that attack hits. Even 2 Years later.
I've watched this like 10 times over the past few years. Never gets old, still cracks me up. Real gold.

This video gave justice to my decition to buy the game and also whole new channel to watch. Thank you, good sir Sseth for this pure content.
Oh, I'm loving the game btw. It's piranha game and cool one.
Just got an ad for ELEX II before this
This review embodies the exact feelings i had when i forced myself to complete risen 2. It was hands down the worst game i've ever played. Had the worst combat, the worst story, the worst movement and looting system. But for some reason I pushed through the pain in such a manner that it seems I was trying to prove myself something. I agree with :thinking: out of 10 because in addition to the hours lost of my life playing the game, I wasted more contemplating what my life had become.
Risen 2 was absolute garbage indeed. But the first one was pretty good. Nice world, the combat was fun on melee. The items and magic trees were complete trash, though.
I enjoyed Risen 1 so much, but PB really went downhill after that. Elex seems to be a bit better though.
Risen 3 still baffles me plot-wise. They somehow thought it would make sense to to reveal that your romantic interest of the first two games is somehow your sister.
I beat cyberpunk 2077 on ps4
Playing it from release
I feel ya
@@matsimoto3541 the main protagonist of risen 3 is not the same dude from rise 1 and 2.
As a Gothic 1 and 2 fan, I found this review hilarious and on the point. Good work sir.
5:39 this joke has aged like fine wine
You can feel him holding a smile at 5:28
I thought the Risen 1 combat was fine, not great, but something that they should have kept and improved on. Instead, they made this mess of a combat system, that get's worse with every game, somehow...
Gothic 2 combat was solid too if You understood how it all works. Both were fine but enemy combat ai was damn too predoctable. Now they just keep giving us edited Risen 2 bullshit combat systems.
Nah, ELEX has a brand new system, completely different from everything they did. Gothic 1 and 2 had it's own system, G3 had it's own... ugh... "system", Risen 1 got it's own and so on... and ELEX got it's own. More complex than anything they did before. And the only downside is... well, two: 1) It's 100% based on skill... if you're not very good at it and precise as hell, you will die a lot... 2) The game doesn't mention the existence of Evade move.....
You realize I was talking only about melee combat? And how is evading any amount of damage garbage? Evade is the best move in the game and even better than in Dark Souls, because it takes about 0.3 seconds. It's just very hard to master.
You do realize NPCs are not the only enemies in the game? Yes, NPCs are easy to cheese out because they're slow, dumb and slow. I was able to clear out that stupid bandit camp near the beginning on my own, without any help. Took some time, but it was pretty easy to do. Now say the same thing about creatures. Tell me more about how you can cheese out that stupid satan-wolf whih can randomly chain 3 attacks one after another. With creatures you need to play skillfully.
I've mentioned both monsters and NPCs man. Read carefully, please.
NPCs part was just extra to mention how their abilities are nerfed compared to player character same moves.
"Tell me more about how you can cheese out that stupid satan-wolf whih can randomly chain 3 attacks one after another."
Dude, seriously You suck as fuck in this game.
It is rare to monster trigger any attack lol except them walking around like idiot. But eventually when You trigger their attacks lol (which are not fast, You probably didn't saw fast attacks in games), AS I SAID BEFORE step minimaly left or right, they will hit air eventually combo the air lol. If You can't move left/right while locked on enemy (when You are disabled mentally or something) just block blockable monster attacks, even without shield it is effective as fuck. Never fully deplete Your stamina too.

German or "German"?
10/10, a truthful, unbiased review.
In Poland, both Gothic games are basically a cult series (Gothic 3 was... so-so). That is because it mostly because of a more-or-less professional voice overs (it was a rarity despite full dialogue translation), the open world with full day/night cycles that blew minds (Morrowind had static NPCs at the time) and we didn't even mind clunky controls. Funny fact: a lot of Polish players thought it was a Polish game, because on how similar in tones it was with Witcher novels* rather than "high fantasy" D&D with clear morality system. Not even Der Schwatze Auge/The Dark Eye (the German pen&paper roleplay) was close in such dark tones.
*Witcher novels date back to 1986, contrary to the popular belief NOT being written after the video game but way around.
Achmed the german... legit

ok you are becoming like honest game reviews and that's good
I am not a German, but I love this game.. Sure, I only played it after all the patches, but those didn't change any of the core design choices. Such as combat system, which I like. Yes, you are supposed to suffer if you make dumb choices and only try to spam attack expecting to easily kill everything. This I always liked about PB games - you need to run away from many enemies in early games and grow your character.
That's how it should be.
is it just me or do Seth videos get better with every single release?
I LOVE the nod to fable, "Hero, your will energy is low. Watch that."
Pretty funny video, seems like your TH-cam theme is either games that are open world and have a lot of interesting game-play options, or games that you can exploit and break for laughs.
