Gothic 3 - 7.6 say Gamespot

http://uk.gamespot.com have rated Gothic 3 a decent 7.6 score. They praise the storyline and quests, but say that the technical problems let it down. Do you agree? Why not comment in our forums?

Unfortunately, just like its predecessors, Gothic 3 was released in a buggy state with some notable technical problems, including a tendency for the game to briefly hiccup between frames of animation, depending on how powerful your computer is. Our upper-midrange system with 1.5GB RAM and a 256MB graphics card experienced only occasional frame rate hitches, while our lower-end system with 512MB of RAM and a 128MB card had noticeably more frame rate issues, especially when trying to render new areas. And like the previous games in the series, Gothic 3 still has issues with polygon clipping--you'll still see both enemies and your characters getting "stuck" on geometry in the gameworld, and you'll occasionally see characters clip right through walls, especially when provoked to attack. Also, the game has some issues with character and monster artificial intelligence, particularly when you either gain followers or need to escort characters to safety as part of your quests--a combination of pathfinding issues and getting stuck on geometry often causes your wards to get lost, which means you have to backtrack and go looking for them.
