Final Fantasy XV vs Gothic 3
Final Fantasy XV
Final Fantasy XV is the latest installment of the main Final Fantasy franchise. In this game, you get to play as Crown Prince Noctis as he embarks on a road trip across gorgeous landscapes and bustling towns in the fictional world of Eos to reclaim his homeland from the grasps of an eternal foe. With a group of colorful characters-slash-friends in a pretty cool- yet expensive-looking car, you'll get to explore every inch of the incredible open world. But of course, you can also alight from the vehicle to walk instead. Similar to previous games, Final Fantasy XV features thrilling, action-based combat that allows you to channel the power of your ancestors as you hack and slash your way through throngs of enemies with your companions by your side. There are also magic and team-based attacks that you can employ in your battles.The game has a rather differnent feel and tone to it this time around, but it still retains the epic-ness that makes it a worthy sequel in the Final Fantasy franchise. The game is currently available on consoles, but for PC gamers, you might still need to wait a while before you can get it on Steam.
Gothic 3
Gothic 3 lets continue your adventure as the nameless hero of Khorinis and decide which side to side with - King Rhobar and his last troop of followers or the despicable Hashishin who has sided with the orcs that are causing chaos across Myrtana. The game, like the two before it, are driven by its story and the path of its narrative is largely driven by the players' own choices. The world is as open as ever and you can meet and interact with a host of interesting characters. The game even has a class-free character development system that is admittedly increasingly rare in recent days.That said, Gothic 3 may be fun back in the day, but the game hasn't managed to hold up the passing of time unfortunately. Due to this, if you do plan on getting this game, you might want to consider getting some mods.
