Slipknot_rooney Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I have looked to see if this has already been posted but didn't see anything so if a post already exists, sorry. Releases 21st August 2015. Just curious if this game is good or not and people's opinion on the game itself? Randomly found it while looking through Amazon so thought this would be a good place to ask about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar_Of_Battle Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I haven't heard a good thing about the series in general honestly. I've never played before so I can't give anything accurate on it. I do want to try it out one day though. I might even give Risen 2 a go if I get bored enough. Apparently Risen 3 didn't improve much or at all over the 2nd game which I heard didn't do well at all. If they polished the game for the PS4 then maybe it would be worth it. If they did nothing I can't even begin to imagine why they thought it would be a good idea.

zadorvp Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I like the Risen series of games, but they definitely are not popular games I just happen to like these kind of unpolished action RPG games (other examples include games like the Gothic games, Venetica, and Two Worlds II). I'm probably going to get the PS4 version as well once it releases (I already did this with Arcania and liked replaying it). Kind of hoping they'd include trophies for the DLC content this time (they didn't the first time despite the Xbox version having achievements for them), but probably not going to happen.

CasaDeBen Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Now im torn between finishing my ps3 version. Not sure why i stopped. Wasmt great but it wasnt bad. I had a lot of fun with it. But i think you need to go in knowing it doesnt have the high polish. The gameplay is a bit rough but it delivers more than many other games.

RedRozeReaper Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I honestly wouldn't advise playing this series at all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpknight Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I played both Risen 2 and 3 on PC. The graphics are bad, voice acting made me cringe and the combat system is very clunky and just...bad. Don't buy Risen 3. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damon8r351 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Excellent. All my requested remasters are coming through just as planned. The master plan moves forward as scheduled. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slipknot_rooney Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 I might check it out when it's really cheap. Seems like it could be fun despite it's flaws. I enjoyed Dark Void and Turok and most people hated them so the same might happen with this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z1MZUM Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 It's so really really cheap right now, I'm going to buy it. 3 years after the fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar_Of_Battle Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) About a year after my post I played Risen 2. While a bad game I still enjoyed it. About a year ago I played Risen 3 on the PS4. I liked Risen 2 better and oddly enough didn't encounter many glitches. Lot of framerate issues though. Risen 3 on the other hand...I encounter a game shattering glitch. I branched my initial save three times(?) so I could start at a certain point for other trophies. Each and every save broke at the same spot. I'd get back to the entrance of this place (it might actually have been the home of magic users) and the game would act as if I'd never been there before. Everything in my pause menu blanked out, and I was no longer able to captain the ship because as far as the game was concerned I'd never progressed far enough. I was effectively locked out of the game. My map was also blank if I remember right. No islands or nav spots whatsoever. The only thing I remember having in the pause menu were my weapons. (I have a video of this glitch...somewhere...) I only had to beat the game in order to plat and after I tried everything I ended up just giving up. Eventually I decided to wipe everything. Game data and save data and eventually made it past that point. Edited April 20, 2018 by Avatar_Of_Battle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La_Confiance Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I have to admit, i really like the game. But i really adore the Gothic Serie. I don‘t mind the performance. I played games which are newer who were clunkier (Conan Exile, I need to quite playing that game for real). If someone plays this game, i can highly recommend playing as a mage. But you need to play as a demon hunter if you want to get the platinum in one playthrough (because 1 trophie is only available for demon hunters) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruh_CRDS Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Wow really, this game sucks on the PS4! I don't know if I am the only one that this happened to but I could not finish the game! Everytime I played after the sea battle against Crow the game froze up, and when I booted it back up all the entries in the log book were gone, my sea chart did not allow me to travel anywhere, my stats were locked and no NPC answered me correctly! I tried to play through this 12 times and it don't work... Really, why did the dev's leave such a horrible bug (among other) on the game and did not fix it? Just read and it was the same bug encountered by @Avatar_Of_Battle, maybe I will try again in the future 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank God I didn't hit a bug like that. I actually had a fondness for Risen 2, despite its problems. But Risen 3 was just a turd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easily one of the worst I've seen because it can happen on the last leg of your journey causing a complete and total replay. I don't even think I froze. I literally just played normally and as soon as I would get back to the entrance to the town or maybe it was a fort, which was up some stairs, the game did the animation like I had just arrived. Been a while so I don't remember all of the specifics. The only thing that worked was completely scrubbing the game from my system and starting completely fresh. I feel for you here man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTacoNinja Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Is this game really as terrible as all the reviews and comments I've read throughout the internet and video reviews on YouTube that I've watched? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galserik Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 It is. The combat system aged very badly. The story, well… meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
