I randomly found one of your videos, then binge-watched everything Gothic-related and then got sad when I realized that's everything and nothing new has been uploaded in over a year. Dude, your humor is on the same level as Dunkey or Redlettermedia. Your half hour long videos are entertaining from start to finish. Hope you get back some day and get big.
To be honest. I think I'm ok either way. He may have just decided he wants to live his life without dedicating it to making content on youtube. Or maybe he rly planning something big and will return one day. Either way, it's fine by me. It's his life. The fact that we even have this video series is enough for me, as I still consider this the best retrospective that I've seen so far for the gothic series, and probably one of the best game retrospective series in general that I've ever seen.
I think the conclusion we must reach is that Durmin uses this channel to upload stuff to show his friends and he forgot to private the last one. A bit disappointed he isn't coming back but happy to know he's alive.
+Drumin Paradox @Drumin Paradox (or however this yt comment mention bs works), please do come back? Pretty please? I will send you cookies! I promise! Not my cookies because I can't boil water without burning it but cookies made by my granny! They're good! C'mon, do come back!
Hi Durmin Paradox. It's too bad that you stopped doing the video, but I'm not talking about that. I watch whole your's Gothic video series. I'm very glad that you could see how wonderful it is. Unfortunately, almost no one heard of the redistribution of Germany, Poland and Russia about the game. Gothic - my first RPG and serius game. I bit this game for the first time when I did not start to go to school and could not read. I want to thank you for your objective review. You have dispelled many nostalgic doubts. You fell in love with the game just as I saw all its flaws and at the same time - the uniqueness. Now I'm sure that Gothic is not just my childhood. This is really a well-deserved masterpiece.
So I found your channel and watched all of your Gothic videos. You're realy good at making funny stuff. If you ever wanna come back then I'll gladly watch more of them. :)
the return of the ̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ absolute madman still waiting for those pizza rolls after all those years But seriously, hope everything is going well with you, king.
I loved all of your Gothic videos. I stumbled upon them by chance and watched them all in a couple of days. It's great to see how you fell in love with the first games even without the nostalgia factor. I'm a huge fan of the Gothic series since I was young and I like you was greatly disappointed by the 3rd game, but i didn't not have the strength to play forsaken gods. I loved seeing your progression through the games, your rise and fall. The videos were great you have a good sense of humour and a way of presenting things, thoroughly enjoyed myself +1 subscribe
Good old games that you may find interesting: Severance: Blade of Darkness (considered a predecessor of the souls series), Arx Fatalis (from Arkane, the guys from Dishonored).
+CESSKAR Played Blade of Darkness when it came out (probably i bought a magazine with the game attached) will check Arx Fatalis out sometime in the future, the only arkane game i haven't played yet.
+Durmin Paradox But i need to warning you, this game is kind like a Gothic 3. You gona find lots of potencital but mostly wastet, a meele combat is little bit better that Morrowind( a bit).
+Durmin Paradox Arx is amazing. By far Arkane's best game, although the melee combat system in Dark Messiah in still unmatched imho (yep, better than Dark Souls, better than Gothic 2, better than what I've played of Bloodborne). Too bad almost everything else about Dark Messiah completely sucks.
urbium The magic in Arx Fatalis is so unique that the system in Dark Messiah looks like shit. It is not bad, just generic. Just like the stealth. And the story wasn't bad either. I mean, it wasn't horrendous.
Phenomenal essays, I've just finished watching every single video of yours about Gothic and I'm so impressed. I bet you'd grow big if you only would like continue making videos in this format. I hope for big comeback one day :]
I am trying to play Forsaken Gods nowadays and it hurt so much that I came back and watched this. And it's still awesome. I think I'm just gonna go "Test mode: true" and get it over with this time. Amazingly dramatic ending to the video btw. Loved it. Made me wanna go play 1 and 2 again.
I just found this channel, just finished watching your gothic 1 video. Freaking love the vid lol had me laughing while learning about the game. Hopefully you get back to creating more vids.
so now i watched all the videos of this channel in 1 single session and i have a deadline for my project paper tomorrow... why are there not more videos. the content is really really good, had a lot of fun watching it.
Great review Durmin! The length of the video was perfect. Some people on reddit have suggested that giving more valid points or arguments about what you dislike would improve the quality of your videos. I hope you do Gothic 4! I played that at release thinking it would improve Gothic 3 but it was a kick in the nuts.
+Tyler Newton Hey glad you like the content, i had no idea my videos were on Reddit, thanks to whoever is posting them. I've read the comment of the guy, i'm not trying to claim this retrospective is flawless (quite the opposite) but to have 2+ hours of material to be belittled and summed up by a "he has no valid points" is quite ironic, since beside a couple of shallow statements the only place where i see "no valid points" is in his post.
+DerMichiYC For Risen 1 watch the Gothic 2 video again :D. Risen 1 = Gothic 2 lite version (in some few aspects I liked it even more than G2 - magic system for instance). R2 & 3 don't have much in common with R1 gameplay wise, so I prefer to think of them as different games.
I like Risen but it is poorly designed game in many aspects. My Mage with Sword was much better fighter than my Warrior of the Order. It makes clear that Mage is just better version of Inquisition. All locations are expy of previous places. Lets play the game mention one element from Risen and then try to guess in which Gothic it showed up first. But the best thing about this game are the spells and their use in exploration. It is fresh concept and it is done very well.
Yes, except no... not really. Risen 1 is the only good one and it is repeat of plotlines from Gothic 1 and 2. New stuff however are huge improvement over Gothic 3. + everything after chapter 1 is really weak.
I remember when PB got the rights back someone asked them if they are going to a gothic 1 remaster. One of them responded "maybe in the future". There is still hope.
Fuck remasters. They should give us something new to play instead. They should declare G3 and G4 non canon and make a complete remake of G3. One that is actually good.
I'm never for removing old video games, for any reason. Just make the Forsaken gods Free to Play instead, to spare anyone else's wallets from this shit.
Good vomit sound effect. I LP'd this game on my old channel years ago. It's so god awful that I felt so much relief on its completion. Gave you a like, great vid!
LOL! You're so funny! However, the best part was at 1:01 - 1:04 - I lauged my head of when you threw the box in the toilet. You did a great job, because this game deserves to be in the toilet.
So, according to Wikipedia this was developed by Trine Games, " a wholly owned game development division of Trine Entertainment Ltd. and is located in India. The company was founded in June 2006 by the brothers Somil and Sangam Gupta."
Wow Forsaken Gods really does suck. Thanks for the warning. I nearly gave this game a second chance. Looks like I just gotta replay the other three over and over for the rest of my life.
Lazereye57 Gothic's successor is Risen. Many say that it's shit or mediocre, but to me it's a gem of a game. Everything I liked in Gothic is there - the living world, the societies and the satisfying quests. Once again I felt like I lived in the world created by Piranha Bytes. These people are geniuses but their games will always be semi-broken.
Hey, Dave, it's the show dead? Cuz it's really great, I've already watched this couple of times and it's even more funny than the first time. It would be sad if you stopped doing this.
Still waiting on your next review ; _ ; In all seriousness, yours are some of my favorite critiques I've seen - on par with Redlettermedia and Joseph Anderson. I keep hoping for a thorough review of Risen...
The ending traumatized durmin so much that he indefinitely quit UA-cam
I miss him too
@@OrdkaMarlSkirata Ok I don't know him, what happened?

I’m still waiting for ravens cry part 2 ☹️
@@emilychb6621 Risen isn't that bad. At least it shouldn't be in the same sentence as Arcania.
I hate when I subscribe to someone to find out that they are not making videos anymore xD
Me right now xD
Almost six years wanting for more. I wish you continued to make videos
still waiting
he is dead
@@howdareyouexist Really?
Um, you're not done yet... ArcaniA. You know, the game with the subtitle "Gothic 4".
+mrbitbot He mentioned in the last video that he probably won't do it because it wasn't made by PB, if I recall correctly.
Neither was Forsaken Gods IIRC.
+deloctyte That's a shame, he will be leaving his review series incomplete then.
+mrbitbot That game isn't a gothic,it is a abortion
+NiIRecurring Yup Forsaken Gods was made by some Indian Company
Every once in a while I check in on this channel in hope of new content... stay strong guys, he will return

me too. really like it. i hope he starts doing videos again. this channel is gold.
Yes, give us more please!!!! :)
You're 100% right
no idea what happened but he stil likes video on YT so maybe he'll be back...
@@TheYutubesteve we can pray!
Will you return? The world needs your take on, the Gothic reboot.
SIX FUCKING MONTHS! We are UA-cam video watchers, damn it! We deserve - nay - DEMAND to get a new video! "Gotchic" 4, Risen, anything! You hack!
YES
tru
Well Risen is meh but playable with some good ideas, Arcania is highway to hell. I'm not sure who is desperate enough to play this.
yes plz !
Still waiting.
Gothic got the Indian touch every thing that is popular gets the Indian touch
Beautiful ending, I agree, that's what I say too!
Almost cried a little ._. :D
:"(
me too :D

Is he Alive?
Well, R.I.P. Gothic and R.I.P. Durmin.
It's funny how in poland gods is pronouced like bugs (bóg - god, bug - glitch) so everyone here called it G3 forsaken bugs.
@Jan Sitkowski Unfortunately every single translation takes away a lot from the intended meaning :(
@Jan Sitkowski Hm, can you give at least one example of such thing? I am interested ^^
lets face it. durmin died from playing forsaken gods.
Maaaan! Come back. We need you :(
