Hey, do you precieve cleaning womens as not a full part of their team?

PB rules, simple as that

When I see so many scavengers here, I think that is my duty to revive this thread.
So: Piranha Bytes are THE BEST!

Gothic is Gothic and Risen is Risen. Despite all the problems and the "could have been a lot better" I would pick a PB game anytime because I know they always flesh out good things.
Also, isn't Jennifer the Ralph's niece?

[Th13f]

I have to agree. PB made many good things (Apart from giving up the Gothic license. How could you do this to me? I'll never forgive you for this one.) and in my opinion, its a good thing that they keep it up with Risen, which, I admit, turned out to be far better than I expected. Looking forward to that steampunk project I heard about .

PS: Before anyone starts, yes, I am a fan of Arcania and yes, I said many times that PB did many mistakes with G3. And the fact that they gave up Gothic only proves to me that they were no longer up to the task of making Gothic. But hey, from criticism, many good things are born, so yes, I'd rather be honest than to ignore some things which I don't like.

Erm... no.

Jenny, Ralf's niece, is a fictional character he introduced to make fun of a Jowood marketing manager who disguised himself as an 18 year old girl in the forum to ask PB some (maybe uncomfortable) questions about their new product. However, he made a mistake and blew his cover and we all had a good laugh at his lame excuses that this was his niece posting from his account. Ralf then said that he has a niece himself and introduced Jenny.

The other Jenny (the one from the link that Michael posted) has nothing to do with this. She's a real person (I can confirm this, I met her in RL) and Björn's girlfriend.

Cool, good game PB! Good game!

How could he blow his cover?

Take a close look at this screenshot.

Mira1990, a supposedly 18 year old girl (correct choice for a stealth account for the target group of mainly young men), asks a question. She wants to know why PB did not keep their promise to reveal the name of the new project for the E3. Ralf answers. Then RHJowood says: "Thank you for the quick answer. I did not know that it's the publisher who decides that." By that, he made clear that he was the one who asked that question.

I don't think it's that clear. You assume a JW CM should know something about how a publishing company works.

Could be a wrong assumption.

[Hampu]

Ahahaha, wrong account answering the question.

WoOHooO!!!
PB Is The Best!!!!

Just the fact that he says that Risen is a copy of Gothic 3 shows that he has either never played Gothic 3 or Risen. Because Risen has really not much to do with Gothic 3.....

Well buddy, some time ago I opened here a thread about some bribed ( or/and dumb ) reviewers and some people started to laugh and speak about Illuminati, aliens, conspiracy and so on.Now we have another example in this regard.So, in my opinion that guy who wrote that review is a moron and a bloody bastard and I'm not so sure that he even played the game.He is speaking about innovation but don't want to explain us what he means by innovation ( perhaps this innovation is the reason that we didn't have a decent RPG between The Witcher and Risen ).Also, he ( or she ) is saying that the fighting system from Risen is horrid!!!This is to much, I think.
Anyway, your comment was very pertinent!Thanks!

Well, indeed. I could have put up with it if he would have given a bad mark simply because he didn't like the game (Jason Waldrop), but saying the combat system is horrid was abouve my tolerance. Hard? Yes, incredibly hard, especially against elite lizardmen, who know how to parry and counter attack, but very fun once you start the game again and you realize that there aren't too many beasts who can match your fighting skill. I pretty much kill everything now without one learning point spent.

I think that he didn't even played the game;anyway, as you say, this game can be hard sometimes but it is some old fashion here.It is really a pitty that the RPGs from our times are so easy ( for an example, put an exclamation sign on a very small map, in order to show where are the needed NPC).In my opinion, a good RPG must be learned ( and finished ) after some hard work and dedication, without a compass which show you the direction and so on.
So I must kindly ask Piranha Bytes to keep the things more difficult and do not make any "innovations".I cannot forget my huge satisfaction when I killed my first orc ( somewhere near the Orc Cemetary in my beloved Gothic 1).

Yup, the walnut guy is an idiot.
