Game News Dungeon Siege 3 Gameplay Trailer ups the Pow! Factor

[Occasionally Fatal]

ITT: Codex reveals itself to be distracted by pretty lights.

Damn, you need to try hard to get any shittier than this.
Oh, and looks like the camera is fucked up yet again.

 

[Micmu]

Rotation-playing piece of shit I say

Has it been announced if this is a single character game, or can you form parties like in the previous DS titles?

Why would you want a party in a linear real-time hack-n-slash. They'll just end up as meatshields or cheap dps bonus, that could be easily replicated by character abilities.

It's like my biggest concern about AoD. I'm worried that with a single player focus, the degree of turn-to-turn complexity (so removing the complexity arising from different weapons or other pre-fight tactical preparation) might not be sufficient for a TBS rpg. (casts: 'Summon VD'). Just going by the small amounts we've seen, that is (i.e. the demo and other tidbits).

Next gen: Where RPG means action RPG, and action RPG means action game.

 

[KalosKagathos]

Judging from the video, it doesn't seem to play like an action-RPG. I see more God of War than Diablo in this trailer.

What? There are no combos, no canceling, no juggling, no blocking, no rolling. It's still a Diablo-like. They may change the controls a bit to accommodate gamepads, but mechanics seem to be the same.

3D ruined hack & slash.

 

[Topher]

When will developers learn that slow motion gameplay footage in you trailer makes their game look like laggy unoptimized shit. Every time that trailer showed the the character running around it look like really bad lag.

 

[Suchy]

3D ruined hack & slash.

And hack&slash ruined RPGs.

3D vs. hack&slash: which is worse and why?

 

[StrangeCase]

Man, what's with the "let's cut off the animation before it finishes running" gimmick? It's like you see some dude doing a cartwheel with a sword and right as he's hitting the enemy, it abruptly cuts to another sequence. Is the standard measure of attention span down to tenths of seconds now?

EDIT: I guess sometimes it's alright. I'm thinking of around 0:13 and 0:55 in particular. And yeah, the slow-mo or lag or whatever it is makes the trailer look like crap. Even worse than the sparkles, IMO.

 

[Turok]

I get bored with the old DS games (never finish then), they where shit, but this one is other thing, hope got a good gameplay.

Is a shame that no one make a pc hack&slash game like Demon's Souls (on ps3).
