"as expected German woods are filled with giant rats, giant birds, giant velociraptors and worst of all Germans" my favourite part
Mine too lmao
Am German. Can confirm.
@@BLY99 triggered...
@@BLY99 They are the giant rats.
The entire video is my favorite part
This German game somehow happens to be Polish national treasure.
*TRIGGERED*
sebool112 really ? Assuming you are polish in the context I thought you polish people like it because of the voice acting and the atmosphere that the characters bring to the world. I mean that's what most german people who play the game fall in love with.
Most of the people look at it through nostalgic lenses. Me too, actually. But somebody pointed out recently that the main character sounds like a narrator, and it occurred to me that it's not really top quality these days.
Look it at it from a distance, you can tell it was the best they could pull off these days, so I appreciate it, actually. And then, the person who pointed it out isn't really someone who knows a lot about games, though, so they can't really appreciate it in the same way.
Thinking about it, I take that back. It was the best they could pull off in the early 2000's. What more can you expect? My opinion now is that it is a good voiceover.
sebool112 Ye if you take the way the hero talks and compare the voice acting itself to what is good today it really isn't good. But the hero has by far the worst voice acting in this game so I can live with that. Even the hero has his moments where I could fall out of my chair from laughing. I like his sarcastic side alot. Also the way the hero generally speaks with npc has a touch that makes his lazy lines often very humoristic which is something I like about it. I dunno if i have a nostalgia lense on or rather how much it changes for me. but I don't think it's that much. I think it would be awesome if i didn't play the game yet and could experience especially gothic 2 all over again. I mean after my like 25th playthrough I must say I lose interest from time to time but I still think the game is that great that I can play it despite the fact that I know everything about it. Not because of nostalgia but because I like the game and if they ever get the brain and remake their first 2 masterpieces and make g3 a complete game they'd swim in money because what piranha bytes is prducing right now isn't good at all in my opinion. Gothic had handmade quests and the world was so well designed that you could also overlook the silly quests when you just ran around the island because they made sense in the story. even smaller quests and characters like fellan had a place and just gave u a feeling of a realistic world. I muss that completely in todays games.
Well, either way; Germans made one hell of a game ^_^
My favorite line from this game was: "His last order was: COME! And they came, all of them, even the dragons"
To quote George Takei: "Oh my~"

Why the fuck are we all having mold problems
I jest but my mom visited and told me to bleach my bathroom walls.
I had no proper dust-mask so I just strapped like 10 kitchen towels behind a guy fawkes mask with duct-tape for a makeshift filter.
ok
ok
@@SsethTzeentach Late to the party, but don't use bleach against mold. Use white vinegar mixed with baking soda in a spray bottle and it kills mold, prevents it from growing, and continues to kill off the mold roots as well. I used white vinegar baking soda mixture to kill mold in my basement over 2 years ago. It has yet to grow back. Bleach on the other-hand is unable to penetrate to get the roots of the mold.
@@SsethTzeentach ok
Good times. The confrontation between Gothic 2 and Morrowind fans in Russia was only comparable to WW2. The most fanatical gamers still have PTSD from this holywar.

@@Skanic I believe the prototype Witcher game was meant to be released in 2001.
CDPR wrote a big patch for Gothic 3 to iron out bugs.
"the guards accept european ID cards or if you dont have that simply a drawing of your passport" accurate af lol
Also drug dealers don't need no id.
Once before a school trip we went to Germany. I lost my ID some day before so I went and declared the missing ID to the Italian police and went to the school trip with a scan of my ID and the Italian document of my missing ID.
The ID was needed to enter the Berlin parliament, the guard simple ignored the declaration and just checked the paper scan
It's my favorite African warlord back at it again.
Playing this game without German or Polish dub should be punishable by beeing forced to make the same game for the next 20 years.
so... Piranha Bytes didn't play with german or polish dub..
Russian dub is pretty good too
So Activision and EA Games were actually punished? :-)
Daniel Shymchenko you’re joking, right?
Who the fuck would ever wanna listen to Polish? One of the shittiest sounding languages in Europe for sure
"appropriate means of defending yourself"

This has aged well. Didn't it, UK?
It's not a case of 'aging well', the UK's nutty weapon confiscations (i.e. spoons and other cutlery) have been a thing for the last decade.

Quick tip: Don't use the Dragon Snapper/Shadowbeast trick. The game doesn't calculate the max HP increase during level ups correctly while being transformed, meaning you'll end up with less HP than you should have.
Doesn't matter if you level your fighting skills with the xp you gain. With a bit of practice you won't get hit in 1v1 combat.
@@buca9696 everything has high crit chance in gothic, every single hp point is worth it because you will get hit sooner or later
@@SHAX516 you can easily offset the hp lost by donating to daron and innos shrines, for a beginner it's going to make the ordinary fighting harder and you can clear out the map in chapter 1 by learning how the fighting system works and realizing you can kill anything 1v1 with a stick and lots of patience xD
@@brohvakiindova4452 You can kill everything in chapter 1 with fist.
Dragon combat is a hot garbage tho...
@@foreignfat6009 there is no "chapter 1" in skyrim
you can fight reasonably well with fists as a khajiit and to lesser extend argonian but no way you straight walk up high hrothgar after starting the game and killing the ice troll on legendary with just your fists
you can totally prepare to be able to fight late game enemies very early on but we're not talking super prepped min-max but casual play
Pole here. This review is 100% correct, especially the coal mine part.

**DISTANT KURWAS GETTING LOUDER**
The german dub of Gothic is such a gem. Its too sad most people wont get to enjoy it cause they dont speak the language.
I mean..subtitles exist
that 'Brzenczyszczykiewicz' reference almost killed me, dude that is obscure, but I'll let the 'polish death camps' slide, just this once...
What is it a reference to?
@@bredt2750 Brzenczyszczykiewicz is a character in the movie "How I started ww2"
@ thanks I'll check it out, I'd it a cult classic in Poland or something?
@@bredt2750 yes, something like that, its a war comedy from 1969.
This is my favourite source of furry porn and casual racism
What more can a man ask for?
Im not into furry things but also here for casual racism.
How fucking dare you call this "casual"?
No respect for hard working racists anymore.
@Sad Honk greytide is inherited genetically
@bababoouie johnson Some people wanted new shoes and stuff and instead of just buying them they went with the video game protag way of doing things (being a thug and thinking you are above everyone else).
I'm big fan of this Germany simulator, however my sole problem is that it is featuring only one german character, Abuyin ibn Djadir ibn Omar Kalid ben Hadji al Sharidi.
Also, for those hardcore, TRUE gamers who haven't played this amazing gem yet. Take my advice and set on the right track, become the sausage delivery boy next door my friends.
Don't worry their are plenty of Germans in the woods.

Can you believe this shit!?!

Even I, a german dude, like this joke, lel.
Man you can't imagine how much the german version adds to the atmosphere.
Freedi's Soundcollection lowkey wanted to learn german just to play gothic in the original language a while back
peep the polish one w dupe
i didn´t know that the english voice acting was so poor. The german voice action is pretty good.

@@Rico-oz4ct "Wo ist die Kirche, ja wo ist sie denn bloß?"
The Russian acting is even better
@@darkcat013 disagree, i understand both and the german one is still far better.
The way you said "Żywiec" made me laugh so hard, god bless you sseth
Pan How DO you pronounce it?
He almost pronouced it correctly. Just instead that "c" don't say it like "computer" but more like a letter alone. There is also the case of "y" but I guess we have better things to do
Try "zhywiets", not completely accurate though. You can find a lot of empty Zywiec tin cans in our (Czech) woods here at the border with Poland. I wonder... why :-D
You don't really have sounds for that in English language but it would be something like Zhyviets
@@Rapture1008 'Ż' is like french pronunciation of Jean or somewhat like the "si" in vision (i think)
y is the sound you make when you have no idea about a topic, kinda like "uh" (I can't think of any word for that)
c is basically a short "ts" sound
HoMM3, Morrowind, Mount'n'blade, Gothic 2. If Fallout 2 will be next, i will be sure that Sseth is slav, 100%.
And now S.T.A.L.K.E.R. yep slav confirmed :D
I hope to God he reviews fallout 2 one day
He is a slav migrant to germany.
He told so in one of his videos. As a slav, I was obliged to check, and I found it ).
@@Sarum9nich are you sure of that
I always disagree when people that complain about the combat. To me, it's the most fluid and spontaneous system ever created.
No stamina, no dodge roll, you have to time your strikes and analyse each enemy. I loved that you could lure monsters. Also using the environment and anything you pick up to your advantage. I feel like most people give up too easily. Although, I have played the game a ridiculous amount of times so I don't even have to think when I'm fighting. I suppose that's why I love it. Every fight feels real and exciting. Anyway thanks for reading.
Yep, and I also hate when people tells others to play it with germany VA because its supposed to better?
Who are you?
"My name is Abuyin ibn Djadir ibn Omar Kalid ben Hadji al Sharidi... and I am a purveyor of tobacco"
Abuyin ibn Djabir ibn Omar Kalid ben Hadji al Sharidi needs a game with him as the hero.
ImposCoE sounds like your typical German name
Sure enough. "May I introduce you to my brother Hans, my sister Katarina and my nephew Abuyin ibn Djabir ibn Omar Kalid ben Hadji al Sharidi?"

Might someone already pointed out but there is a far faster way to earn money with smithing than that at 7:20. You take an iron rod and put it into the forge than quickly press space/number one so your character draws his sword. This way you will still have this iron rod and another one will appear in your inventory = unlimited money without beating up that poor bastard every second. :D
There was another glitch that is useful. Your enemies always running at you in a straight line. So when you try to flee a situation while running just move your mouse slightly left and right continuously so they always miss you.
Gothic 2 was also popular in Hungary. No wonder we always got along well with polish people through our history, this game requires a certain character. :D
As a Polish person i can proudly say that for a while i thought i'm watching a documentary movie.

This is a crossover I did not expect, but I happily welcome!
But is it better than Prażubr?
@@codonomicus Żubr used to be good, but it turned into really low quality beer. I've never had Prażubr, but I suppose it's on pair or most likely inferior to Żywiec, which itself is rather mediocre if you ask me.
@9:25 You can also just buy a scroll of telekinesis. You never actually need to cast it just equip it, and then you just spin around and see every object around you.
It makes the game a lot easier than cheesing the object spawn mechanic does.

What I love most in this game is, that the main char is an ambitious, greedy and deceitful asshole. He is essentially every rpg-gamer that either got bored with the game or just plays it "to win".

Oh yes, the game worshipped in poland :P
So Gothic is basically story about polish migrant that becomes something more than just a hero - an union man
The only problem with turning into a dragonraptor and genociding the map is that when transformed you do not receive the HP upgrades. The HP you gain will be added to the transformation health and once the transformation ends your health will be set back to the value it was before you transformed.
Polish migrant in Germany here, I haven't laughed so much in a long time! Love your reviews :)
