This is a really great video, I really like how they go over each of the factions and show them actually working in game. Great Job Piranha Bytes, you all look like you have come up with a winner this time by going back to the core roots. Cant wait to check this game out.
I can not understand why people hate this game so much. As for me, this game is great. What do you dislike here? Graphic - Great Music - Great Climate - Great Plot - Pretty good Gameplay - Good
I guess the difficulty is a bit of a problem. At the start the most challenging and then getting a lot easier towards the end. In general a bit too easy
@Jonathan Soko I played all three classes and it becomes extremely easy with the mage because of fire rain. Everybody is "stunned" because all enemies get hit constantly.
This is actually quite an easy anwser. Piranha bytes does not follow the current trends of the video game industries. So they keep making their games in gothic style which for the vast majority of players is quite bad. Their games are niche but people who understand what they are going for love their games. I for example love the risen series and elex (never played any gothic game since I am 21 and was born in the wrong "time" but I will find time to play it in the future)
Djinn Shutt Nemanja Micovic Is the game good? I loved Risen 2 but not sure whether to get this one so many good games coming out soon and I don't have much money :(
Well I won't find out whether this game is good or not till tomorrow as I live in the UK although you could always save your money up for a bit and then buy another game you wanted and this. Or buying it seeing if it's any good then bringing it back if not is another option
the1andonlytitch Risen is Risen .That means, if you played risen 1 and 2 i think you have a very good idea of what to expect with any Piranha Bytes product. That means, don't think this is going to be the next GOTY or a "skyrim killer", Risen always has been a humble game to have a lot of fun with a very simplistic gameplay and decent story. Risen 3 feels more like an expansion than a new game since there are a lot of recycled npcs and enviroments from risen 2 (you can tell that just by watching this trailer) so keep that in mind before buying.
I have bought this game and as I haven't played risen 2 (for reasons of money shortages) this is a whole new world for me (Although there are NPCS from Risen 1 (Mendoza/Patty) I agree this isn't going to be the next GOTY yet so far I would rate it a 7.5/10 (ye ye I'm no game rater
people who say this suck they are what we call "noobs" and actually those kind of people focus only on the graphics but for us real gamers we focus more on the questline/the lore of the full serie/gameplay/the open world and more... and ican say that teven if the graphics in this game arent cool enough but this was a fucking amazing game
05:22 “Catching them off-guard…” *Teleports n proceeds to get rocked lol Still love the game though. I went with the Guardians. Bout to be a General, boys! Drinks on our Uncle Sam, huh?
I'm glad I found it.I played the Risen 1 only. 2 somehow didn't get my attraction.Reminds me the old Gothic rpg time. Very funny dialogs, charackters. I take this easy and enjoy the game, thank you all who created it.The only thing bothers me is the combat and that I have to put away my weapon to activate something.
I kinda tried the game for less than 30min when it had just came out, misjudged it and stopped playing (I think there was another big RPG at the time that peaked my interest), I didn't give combat enough time to sink in, I didn't know the game was actually just like gothic which I loved a lot. 4 years later I decide to give it another chance, well I was missing out lol.
when i played this first time i chose voodoo pirate, im now a voodoo shaman and im om chapter 4 im the game, i might play it again as guardian or demon hunter since it might have different gameplay
The video should've ended with the narrator saying: "So with *three* different factions, *three* different styles and *three* different perspectives on the world and the events. The question remains: which one of the *three* will be......... *RISEN* (logo screen).
This game looks awesome but I just havnt gotten around to it yet. This may be a dumb question but is there any shields in this game? I love playing tanky melee builds and timing my shield usage. Please tell me there is shields in this game!
...wait, Eldric leads a Cult? Wasn't he a druid? I haven't played the game yet and plan to remedy that, but... how does that work? (If it's too big a spoiler, just say whether or not it is explained.)
Gothic 3 is definitly bigger, but risen 3 has still more to offer In gothic 3 there are very often just open landscapes with nothing on it, not even trees. Or just open desert with nothing to see. The risen 3 landscape is more packed and it takes more time to see everything
Looking forward to this! :) Demon Hunters seem the most appealing to me, with a mix of sword & magic. Who knows though, might change my opinion ingame. :)
Ivan Panchev Wow, didn't know you can end up with such high stats at endgame. I'm not that far yet, maybe around halfway through, but I'm already ripping through everything haha. DH are indeed crazy. I think difficulty doesn't affect anything else than mob dmg btw, so as long as you don't get hit it doesn't even matter. Bit of a shame since indeed the game has lost all challenge for me already. :/
Ivan Panchev Yeah I know right... Well, the people who claim it's too hard, along with other ridiculous things, clearly don't understand how an RPG works. It's a real shame these people drag down the reputation of this game and Piranha Bytes games in general. I literally want to strangle anyone who mentions Skyrim in the same sentence, as well. Personally I'm really enjoying it this far, just hoping there will be new stronger mobs near the end. Anyway, regarding the permapots, I still haven't found a single recipe for one which has had me concerned whether they might have been removed and wondering if I should just consume my plants. Good to know this isn't the case. When do you get recipes for them?
Ivan Panchev You have to be careful with exploration... for example I killed two shadow lords and got the grimoire - didn't know what it was at the time - before joining the demon hunters. I think I could've explored much more, but I decided to just join a faction before I have nothing left to explore. And I think the game is relatively easy... I'm running around with around 40k glory since I don't feel that I need the extra power. What I don't like is the insane range on the power attacks. You might think that you dodged the attack and bam... the enemy "teleports" to you and hits you like a truck. Even so... I'm enjoying the game so far.
Art0r1a What's so bad about finding stuff before you need them? Risen is designed in a way that you can explore freely and essentially complete quests before you even get them. Once you finally do have the quest, you can simply deliver immediately and save yourself the hassle of travelling around again. That's one of the things I like the most to be honest.
sten360 Since I don't know how long the game is I did not want to do the majority of the quests before joining a faction. it'd be kind of silly to join a faction only to find out that I'm only an hour away from the end. The freedom of exploration is THE best thing in the game and this is one of the many reasons I like Gothic and Risen games. On my second playtrough I will probably challenge myself to do as much as possible before joining a faction.
Finally Gothic 3... Ahh I mean Risen 3 is out! This game is very awesome, even though and maybe mostly because it just copies and reapplies THE BEST ideas and concepts of Gothic 1 + 2. 3 Factions.. the rough, the establishment and the crazy. (Mages even want to build a giant weapon in this one... Hope they do not blow off some ore heaps ;-) ) A leveling system that rewards early specialization and that makes your choices really impact what you can access of the game.
The Natives are the best faction imo. They're kind to most people and don't fight among themselves. Demon Hunters are good people too, but some of them are disliking each other. Guardians are dicks. They're mean and arrogant, they treat the gnomes like slaves, and they also fight among themselves.
No it's not. They make a progression. Yea this looks similar, but try to play Risen 2 and 3 in the same time. Them you'll see how much they done&and how much they copy I know, but still. For me this 20 ppl earn respect.
More like: Risen 1: I'm a Gothic reboot! Risen 2: I'm a Gothic with pirates and Assassin's Creed combat system! Risen 3: I'm what Gothic 3 should have been!
Uhh i don't know. I'm kinda stuck between guardian and demon hunter. Guardian seems like your typical battlemage,however i love the concept of a BM, considering that only a few games gives you that option besides Skyrim. Demon hunters looks like a strong melee fighter with support abilities which is really cool too. However, i think the trailer doesn't seem to do good justice to the demon hunter in terms of outfits, i mean, the last guardian outfit shown here is insane, very well done but the DM outfit is kinda "meh". Tough one, tough one...
Just got this game in year 2020 😂🤦 but I do like the game though just don't know what faction to join outta all 3 I like demon hunter an voodoo pirate so outta them 2 hard to decide 😂 but I give this game 10/10
sell spells recipes and potions buy melee points . not nough ingredients and costs too high to bother my opinion i am voodoo pirate and rarely use magic as hardly worth the effort sword is best would be much better if all plants respawning
+InsanisMusic Um. No. Not at fucking all. Did you even play the game? Only a whopping 2 islands return from Risen 2 out of a total of SEVEN, and those 2 not only have been heavily redesigned, you spend almost no time on them at all. Even some of the characters who were in Risen 2 were actually completely altered for Risen 3 (Chani, Eldric and Patty), unlike in crap games like Mass Effect 3. The game is a masterpiece, PB's best since, well, Risen.
urbium yes, I played it. There was nothing new. I played all Gothic games and all Risen games. unfortunately after the first 5 hours of gameplay I let it go. Piranha Bites failed with this game. Totally.
InsanisMusic Then you missed out on one of the best action RPGs this generation. Sure, there wasn't anything particularly novel or unique in the game mechanic-wise and sure, the overarching plot was pretty weak, but the gameplay was nothing short of amazing and the sheer amount of ways you can viably build your character is astounding. How many games let you cast a Rain of Fire spell, followed up with a couple blasts from a sawed-off shotgun and finish your opponent off with a well-aimed dagger? How many modern games give you 5 or so hours of faction-exclusive content spread across three factions? And with the new EE patch (which was completely free, btw), the game can now graphically compete with the big dogs. I actually like the environment design far more than something like Witcher 3; the locales are much more varied and interesting to look at, as well as having some impressive verticality. I'll be honest though, it took me nearly 5 hours to start appreciating it myself. But I mostly just take issue with your contention that, "everything in Risen 3 was the same as Risen 2," when that couldn't really be any further from the truth.

Cant wait to check this game out.
I can not understand why people hate this game so much. As for me, this game is great.
What do you dislike here?
Graphic - Great
Music - Great
Climate - Great
Plot - Pretty good
Gameplay - Good
I guess the difficulty is a bit of a problem.
At the start the most challenging and then getting a lot easier towards the end.
In general a bit too easy
@Jonathan Soko
I played all three classes and it becomes extremely easy with the mage because of fire rain.
Everybody is "stunned" because all enemies get hit constantly.
The pirates theme, is only the wrong 😪😪😭
This is actually quite an easy anwser. Piranha bytes does not follow the current trends of the video game industries. So they keep making their games in gothic style which for the vast majority of players is quite bad. Their games are niche but people who understand what they are going for love their games. I for example love the risen series and elex (never played any gothic game since I am 21 and was born in the wrong "time" but I will find time to play it in the future)
I haven't played this one, but I've played Risen 1&2. Risen 3 looks great; it's more Gothic, so I love it.
I have to admit, factions are really nicely designed and I find it very difficult who to join at the moment xD
Same here Although I think I'm leaning towards the Voodoo Pirates.
Djinn Shutt Nemanja Micovic Is the game good? I loved Risen 2 but not sure whether to get this one so many good games coming out soon and I don't have much money :(
Well I won't find out whether this game is good or not till tomorrow as I live in the UK although you could always save your money up for a bit and then buy another game you wanted and this. Or buying it seeing if it's any good then bringing it back if not is another option

Risen is Risen .That means, if you played risen 1 and 2 i think you have a very good idea of what to expect with any Piranha Bytes product. That means, don't think this is going to be the next GOTY or a "skyrim killer", Risen always has been a humble game to have a lot of fun with a very simplistic gameplay and decent story.

I have bought this game and as I haven't played risen 2 (for reasons of money shortages) this is a whole new world for me (Although there are NPCS from Risen 1 (Mendoza/Patty) I agree this isn't going to be the next GOTY yet so far I would rate it a 7.5/10 (ye ye I'm no game rater
I love the Risen games just as I loved the Gothic games and I am always looking forward to what they are making next.
people who say this suck they are what we call "noobs" and actually those kind of people focus only on the graphics but for us real gamers we focus more on the questline/the lore of the full serie/gameplay/the open world and more... and ican say that teven if the graphics in this game arent cool enough but this was a fucking amazing game
I've never seen someone who was in so much denial.
@@gamefan987 i've seen alot
@@shxdowbexts besides you ?
@@gamefan987 yes
It's my first time playing this game on the ps3 and I agree with u in everything and I mean everything and fuck I am enjoying myself wooo
05:22 “Catching them off-guard…”
*Teleports n proceeds to get rocked lol
Still love the game though. I went with the Guardians. Bout to be a General, boys! Drinks on our Uncle Sam, huh?
the guardian uses crystal magic sound like a code word for crystal meth
Just got the game yesterday and instantly loved
Bin echt stolz das die Macher bzw die Piranha bytes in meiner Stadt ist ! :D
Oh, no spoilers. Amazing Piranha Bytes!
+TheSergeyVasilyev Theres no real spoilers here
1 more day, can't wait.
Risen 3 is probably in my top 3 PB games, its really close to Gothic (especially the first one), and its so damn addicting !!
Rip shields :(
*WHO NEEDS LOCKPICK WHEN YOU CAN OPEN THE CHEST USING MAGIC*
Just imagine The Gothic series with those graphics and system engine,yeah people I know it is a nice dream..
only one question remains :D When will it be 50 -75 %in steamsale ?
When do we get a chance to join the factions?
I do not use magic or swords, use only rifles and muskets, which faction should I choose?
By the time you get fully-fledged .. The game is almost over ..
I'm glad I found it.I played the Risen 1 only. 2
somehow didn't get my attraction.Reminds me the old Gothic rpg time. Very funny dialogs, charackters. I take this easy and enjoy the game, thank you all who created it.The only thing bothers me is the combat and that I have to put away my weapon to activate something.
i cant decide :( it increases the replay value but I still cant decide what to pick on my first playthrough
I'm playing a demon hunter and loving it :)
vilchisss after 15 hours of playing I decided to make a guardian, but Im gonna play all. Have fun :)
I finished this game 3 times , 2 time demon hunter one time voodoo pirate it was amazing
Guardian is very awesome ! I must say
I kinda tried the game for less than 30min when it had just came out, misjudged it and stopped playing (I think there was another big RPG at the time that peaked my interest), I didn't give combat enough time to sink in, I didn't know the game was actually just like gothic which I loved a lot. 4 years later I decide to give it another chance, well I was missing out lol.
i have only just started the first one
shocked I didn't even know about this game
I am a total fan of this now
when i played this first time i chose voodoo pirate, im now a voodoo shaman and im om chapter 4 im the game, i might play it again as guardian or demon hunter since it might have different gameplay
Nice music! It feels like Gothic!
Das Piraten Outift bei Minute 0:58 woher bekommt man das ?

0:34 Bigger than Gothic 3? ... I doubt that ........
Strula Din Copac Wut? It's pretty friggin huge
Strula Din Copac
Gothic 3 is huge compared to other PB games, RIsen 3 is much smaller.
gothic 3 is huge, much more that risen 2, risen 3, risen 4.. and is necessary more time for complet for exempl nordmar missions...
Gothic 3 is definitly bigger, but risen 3 has still more to offer
In gothic 3 there are very often just open landscapes with nothing on it, not even trees.
Or just open desert with nothing to see.
The risen 3 landscape is more packed and it takes more time to see everything
i went for the demon hunters , just finished the game was nice :)
Can you add some updates of at the ending of the gamw you will stiil play pls
Jeez, Piranha I swear I will buy this game. I don't have the money yet, but I will. I swear!
Great vid, think I'll play this awesome title once more;)

risen 4?
I'd love bandits in game again, as in risen 1, i fucking love beeing thief in games.
And what happend with Don Esteban? He disapeared i guess.
i played this game it is fantastic amazing rpg mega beautyffuly
can i be all 3 like in Risen 1 ?
Did you watched video? " If you join us you won't be able to join other faction. "
Is it really bigger then Gothic 3?

There is something that I don't understand with this game.
What the fuck is Patty supposed to be? Your girlfriend or sister,?
She is your sister.
then it's fucking disgusting...
***** What's fucking disgusting?
Just to clarify: the protagonist of Risen 3 is _not_ the same as in the previous games.
manupainkiller
She is actually your sister, you are the son of Steelbeard. You are not playing the same guy as in Risen 1 and 2.
Andrei Balan Prove it !
sell spells recipes and potions buy melee points . not nough ingredients and costs too high to bother my opinion i am voodoo pirate and rarely use magic as hardly worth the effort sword is best would be much better if all plants respawning
Hahaha ich Habs bestellt und heute wurds Versand
is it shity like sacred 3???????????
voodoo pirate? wtf lol
Play Risen 2 and you will understand.

played already, long ago, shit game, this part slightly better
Game is shit...just like Risen 2
End of story.
BIOSHOCKFOXX still Risen series is better than Gothic. End of story. And Risen 3 was great.
wernetto Not in my book, that's for sure, and a fact.

anyone one wants my risen3???? ill sell it for 40 dollars. i really wish i never bought this. its so fuckig awful
this game fucking sucks.
