Test-Run Gothic 3 Before You Buy It

With the success spreading for Piranha Bytes and JoWood Productions, they wanted gamers to share in that success. So to help boost the sales of Gothic 3, Jowood has decided to release a demo to the public, so people can give the game a test-drive before they buy it. It seems a little backwards considering the game is out already, but something is better than nothing.

Seriously, though, demos are released BEFORE a game comes out. However, this is usually the case for games that are bound to be a huge prospective for the publisher. So-so games don’t conventionally get demos because of the amount of time and resources needed to separately develop and distribute a demo. In this case, Gothic 3 was a great game with so-so exposure. After the game crawled its way onto the top ten charts in several countries around the world, JoWood decided it was time to give the game a little extra push in the marketing department.

Beginning November 10th, this Friday, gamers will have access to a demo of Gothic 3 that can be downloaded from Gothic 3's main website. But let me guess, you’re not convinced? Still think this is like a bad Hollywood movie that managed to appeal to the wrong demographic (like Uwe Boll’s House of the Dead with pre-pubescent boys)? Well, here’s a list of features to help persuade nay-sayers from thinking that this game isn’t worth a penny.

Features:

• Specially designed easy combat system

• Clear main goals - story driven yet dictated by player's choice

• Huge free-roaming world - virtually no boundaries

• Advanced human behavior AI for hundreds of individual characters with full audio dialogues

• Countless side-quests for the player to choose from

• Over 50 different monsters and animals and dozens of human enemies

• Over 50 different powerful spells and over a hundred different weapons
