For those that don't know Gothic the game takes place in a prison mining colony surrounded by a magical barrier that prevents anyone from leaving but allowing stuff in and out of it. The magic ore thats being mined in the prison colony is vital for the war against the orcs so the prisoners can demand literally anything from the King in exchange for mining said ore. The handful of female characters in the original game are literal sex slaves for the faction leaders.
Gothic, much like Stalker and nearly all Slav-jank games, only works when it was made with the passion and soul of a bunch of nerds coding their own engines from scratch to make their misery-core experiences.
If you "remake" it and remove all the jank, there is nothing interesting left but a mediocre product running on pure nostalgia for its sales.
Gothic isn't really a janky game. Although I guess the controls can be called janky. But they work well once you get used to them. Stalker isn't janky either. Without the fan patches it's just a buggy mess.
What makes these games great is the atmosphere. The worlds and characters are believable. They're grounded. They're vulgar, ugly, direct and hard with their own special type of charm. They feel real.
Also not being oversized empty open worlds but handcrafted ones that are fun to explore and really reward you for it helps too.
The controls and/or the extreme bugginess are the epitome of what janky is. They are extremely difficult to pick up and play without either a lot of fan-work, a learning curve to wrap your brain around something different or just dedication to suffer through.
I didn't mean it as them being bad, I absolutely love Stalker and have heard Gothic is a game like no other once you immerse in it. They are marvels for even functioning considering their development background. But they are complete jank on this end because of it.
Like I said Gothic isn't really comparable with Stalker. Stalker is almost unplayable without fan patches. Gothic 1 & 2 doesn't have that problem although given the age of Gothic 1 you need a patch to at least support higher resolutions. They have their own fair share of bugs but nothing even close to what Stalker suffers from.
From a technical standpoint G1 & G2 (with official patches) are fine. It's only the controls and combat system that you could call janky as it is quite unusual. But it's not difficult to learn in my opinion. It is difficult to master though.
Gothic 3 on the other hand is as much of an unplayable mess as Stalker and should not be played without the fan patch. Afaik the fan patch is baked into the official release on Steam and GOG anyway. Although it can be skipped entirely as it is a bad game even without the bugs.
And originally I thought Gothic was slavic, but then remembered it was German halfway through, but lord if it doesn't feel like a slav game.
That's because Gothic is a bigger cultural icon in Eastern Europe than Germany itself. Germans love Gothic. Slavs worship Gothic. That's why Polish modders created a full length Gothic game with professional voice-over that turned out to be a true Gothic 3 and is arguably the best Gothic game ever made and one of the best RPGs of the last two decades.
Archolos is truly great. You don't even have to have played G1 or G2 to appreciate just how good it is.
Those are male body type models that have been stretched into these characters. Tranny mindset. Make women seem uglier so their rating scale increases.
I've already written off the remake when they released the demo and I realized they were using UE5 with all it's glorious performance problems and graphical glitches but now I'm convinced it's going to be a complete trainwreck. Not surprising but disappointing nonetheless.
Imagine being in a shitty freezing gulag and you get the opportunity to wish for a literal sex slave, and you pick a genderbent David Strathairn or Admiral genderstudies Laura Dern instead of someone hot like Emma Stone or Christina Hendricks.
The apology games that come after all the people making boneheaded decisions are weeded out from gaming companies better be fucking legendary after all this shit we've had to deal with.
There will be no "apology" games. Either the zeitgeist shifts and these companies all go bankrupt, and new, better companies make the new, better games... Or else the zeitgeist goes the other way, and you'll be against the wall for daring to say these aren't stunning and brave womixins.
Maybe calling it an apology game was a misnomer. I meant the games that don't suck that follow this ten year span of this crap.
They will have to be better, regardless of what the companies did prior. Or the entire video game hobby is officially gone. They can't just be DEI and bullshit free.
I do not expect a miraculous jump start after a theoretical second video game crash, if the follow up games once the cult is forced out still suck.
Yup, OG piranha bytes made female NPC look like actual females
This abomination of a gothic game is no piranha bytes, but some faggot pretenders from the tel aviv of the spics (Barcelona is one of the gayest cities on earth, i think its number 6 or 7)

Im sure xir would have requested frumpy ugly halfmexican bitches.
So them being attractive would be coherent with the story too
Honestly, sending them the ugly ones does make some sense. Prison is a punishment, after all.
Not if you need something from the prisoners and have no way of forcing them to give it to you.

I only compare them simply because they used original in house engines developed for them, and them being "janky but soulful." A very general lumping.

It's like the difference between real women and trannies

Fishy fucks.
It's always the nasolabial fold.
"But it's realistic!!!"
As much as I love Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, there's a reason no one wants women in games or other anime looking like they do in THAT.
I'm not sure they want the MEN looking like that either.

Immersion destruction complete.
"That's not your sex slave, it's a ma'am, baby!"
Those 'women' are clearly Orc spies.
West "artists" use male models to make women, normally they just pick the male model and add makeup. This time they didn't even bother with it.

These are literal troon body-types
That Barcelona studio clearly has actual trannies in the dev-team
In the center screenshot you can see that they're actually using the male model. The 'women' has literally the same idle pose as the player character.
Piranha Bytes was always terrible at making female models but they at least had their own shitty models and feminine faces.
