Some people already have the game and they say that if you like Gothic series you will like it,it is not the best looking game on the planet,but the world is handcrafted and environmental effects are nice.

And game has a slow start(like Gothic),so even a blind chicken can kill you in the beginning...

It should be worth the wait. One of the (few) RPG reviewers on the PC side that I actually have some faith in has already mentioned that this game is better than Dragon Age (he's been playing both for preview).

Yeah, the X360 version has leaked.

Is this game something like Fallout 3?

I was actually going to make a thread asking about if this game was good.  I saw some videos and it got me interested.  What kind of structure does it have? is it more like a Bethesda rpg or Bioware one (open vs linear), or something different?

Think Two Worlds or Gothic III.

Haven't played either.  Closest was the Gothic 2 demo years ago and I don't remember anything from it.  What about the Witcher? more like that?

No, it's open-world but with lots of janky European-ness. Gothic III was pretty terrible, but maybe they can get their act together this time.

The game is horrible and looks like trash. What a waste of a DVD9.

Been playing it for couple of hours and here are my impressions:

First lets deal with teh graphics(X360),360 version was done by a different team.
Its a typical PC-console port,textures and foliage took the hit,there are some really really low res textures there at some places,but on the other hand lightning is good and the game has a dirty look so it makes you feel like you really are on some island that time forgot.
Performance wise game is really good,fps whores don't need to be afraid.

Game stutters only when its autosaving,it doesn't happen too often,you can't disable it.
Also game doesn't have brightness slider,so it can be really dark at times,but afaik due to the people complaining patch is in the works.
Music,sound-great,no complains there
Voice acting also great,although copy-pasted,just like lots of characters faces,lets say that the game has a lots of twins :D
Controls are good,UI could be better,but its not the game that will hold your hand,you need to think.

Now to the important stuff,its a great rpg,lots of interesting and shady characters,interesting quests,multiple ways to finish them,quests are interconnected.
A little example,i was asked to get some stolen things from some shady characters,they where willing to sell it to me,but he price was a little too much for me so i tried to beat them up,being a weakling i failed...So what did i do?Simple i just attacked  them one by one from behind in some dark place when nobody was around and took their stuff...

Leveling up is like in Gothic,when you level up you get points,then you have to find a person to train you and you have pay for it.
The biggest decision for me now is,who to join?...decisions,decisions

If you are graphics whore,get a PC version...will comment on that little bit later,if everything goes well.
If you what some overhyped dribble look somewhere else,plenty of candidates for that.

If you want great and addicting RPG with some presentation issues look no further.

I've played the game for 15 minutes. The menu and interface are horrible. They didn't even bother adjusting it for the X360.

And I really hate it when enemies follow me the whole time. I had a huge pack of animals following me for a whole 5 minutes. I didn't have any weapons, so they killed me in a cave.

Maybe I'll give this game another chance. But I'm already terrified by thinking over those horrible graphics. The woman in the beginning looks like a fucking mutant.

You haven't played gothic did you?

Beginning is more like tutorial,get a wooden club and attack enemies one by one.
Timing is the key to defeating them,attack them then step back a little bit,attack again when the time is right and you will have no problems.

Been playing 360 version for 5-6 hours,no bugs,crashes,it is much more polished than Gothic 3.

PC version looks better and it performs good,the biggest performance hog is shadowing.
360 Risen=low textures,vegetation off,everything else is on medium or high

Don't expect miracles from PC version,Gothic 3 looks better,but it is much more polished experience.

I started playing this one last night and was completely enamored with it from the get-go. PC RPG nerds, definitely check this out when you get a chance-it's got a reflex-based combat system mixed with a Euro-style RPG stat page that covers the whole screen when brought up. Probably not going to be as good as Divine Divinity 2, but that's not out in English yet so I can't make the comparison.
