Though I only played the beta, I assume by the comments the combat didn't change. I'm still baffled why they didn't just slightly tweak the Risen 1 combat and used that. Worked well enough. That would cvertainly have been easier than changing it.
After seeing the lack of dodge in the beta, I was hoping it was just a mid-game skill... or at least something you pick up once you get to Steelbeard's camp. Knowing that you CANNOT dodge at all in the game, or even block enemy attacks, is just.... words fail me. This IS Piranha Bytes, is it not? Derp Silver or JoWood didn't make this game and then just slap PB's name on it?
That's exactly it... all they had to do was take Risen 1 and change the setting. Add new enemies and quests and locations, but leave the core game intact. But nooooooo.... that would have been the smart thing to do
Sooooo after their fantastic COME BACK with RISEN then do a half assed job with part 2.... oh well its time to wait for Gothic 2 Gold ... ehm i mean Risen 2 Gold Directors cut all things inside edition
And also, how the fuck could they make it this shit? All they really had to do was do exactly what they did in Risen and then change the setting, that's ALL they had to do. But no, lets fuck up the combat beyond any recognition by derping it up and thus making it harder but less challenging. What the fuck were they thinking?
I'm currently saving all my "skill points" for when I can get magic, I'd like to see if maybe magic is more fun to use because there's no way I'll be able to play through this game with this crap melee combat, it's just to boring.
Yup, and the more of a fool I was for giving them a chance because of the original game...

Well, i'm no fan of the combat system, but as usual and expected people are overreacting and blowing things way out of proportions. Other than the combat, the game itself is pretty great.
Can someone please for the love of god give some arguments why it rocks/sucks.
Check the vid posted by Yondaime earlier on this page, pretty much sums it up.
meh, can make silly vids like that with any game. while it does show a few bugs and issues in the game, majority of video was just jumping around and hammering interact button on npcs. not very informative.
If anything in that video is gamebreaking to you guys, you should go ahead and quit gaming. It's mostly just some technical issues, but nothing as bad as people here makes it to be.

Game is fine, just try it.
It's at least worth trying once.
Texture pop, shadow flickering and other "bugs" are REALLY annoying though.
I remember being very impressed by Risen's visuals.
Risen 2 is visually 1 big bugfest for me.
I can totally relate and understand people deleting it after seeing how horrendous it is.
Note that it would actually be a VERY nice game with all of those solved.
So if there's some ATI/NVIDIA thing going on here you might want to wait some patches.
tell me about technical issues again, this game is a quick money grab using the risen name as bait.
good point, not only that, i wasn't interested in the first so why would i be interested in the half assed second? the second is never as good as the first, look at back to the future part two, trounced by parts 1 and 3, easily, i can think of only one exception, the terminator movies, the second was miles ahead of the first and the third was the start of the decline.
and beyond that, the theme is just so generic and bland too, it's as if they think pirates actually want to BE pirates, you're doing it wrong for fucks sake.
That's one of the benefits of being unfettered by buyer's defence; we feel more free with our opinions, rather than defensively trying to justify a €40 piss down the pan In all honesty though, visuals glitches and performance aside, it does feel like Risen, only significantly streamlined and with quite a few more issues, both technical and visual. Same crappy coding and all -- because let's face it, PB aren't exactly coding masters. They can craft an excellent world with tons to do in it, but they do it sloppily and with varying degrees of success.
I'm going to keep playing R2 but I'm also sticking to my opinion that R1 is far superior, in pretty much every regard so far.

Your mouse settings are insane! 3.00000 on the Y axis (to compensate for the hideous ratio compared to X) and 0.84500 on the X ... well... they're way too "fast" for my liking. I dropped them down to 1.40000 on Y and 0.40000 on X and that's perfect!
Well, I think you could have just dropped down the in-game setting after putting my values in the .xml file. I think that's a multiplier. I didn't because that's pretty much perfect for me. I like high mouse sensivity in general.

Naw, you can't.. I tried. Once you adjust the "Camera Speed" setting in-game, it changes the x/y settings in your ConfigUser.xml file
