Obsidian isn't some Midas figure that can turn shit to gold. It's Dungeon Siege, you get what you got before.
If you think that DS3 is better than DS2 than you're either stupid or from Croatia. DS and DS3 are shit games, but DS wins that contest if only for its engine which was brilliant at the time. DS2, while nothing special, is a really decent game for the boring an soulless h'n's genre.Game is a chore to finish but its still a better game then first two parts. It was funny seeing Dungeon Siege fans (yeah there are actually fans of this piece of shit games) bitching how Obsidian declined the series. The only good part of DS3, beside abundance of jugs, was few seconds long ending slide of what happened to Jayne after you choose to imprison her, which I thought was a nice touch and I was disappointed that entire game was not made in that tone.
I will never replay this game, but it was worth few bucks I spend on it while on sale.
Wasn't it?
Wasn't it?
I enjoyed it for what it was. I found combat engaging and at times challenging, and it played smoothly, plus looked okay as well. The story was nothing especially engaging but to be honest, it kept me occupied to the end, which is much more than I can say for the first two games. Monotonous is the right word, but at least there's nothing about it that's actively bad either.
That said it was still an obvious cash-in by Obsidian, and I doubt they spent a ton of time on stuff or had any great love for the franchise (though the lore seems far more fleshed out than the first two games). Bitches gotta get paid etc.
Cool story bro, but unfortunately DS3 makes F3 look like a proper sequel.
Wtf is edgy about claiming that DS2 is a decent h'n's? You're not the sharpest tool in the shed, are you?If you think that DS3 is better than DS2 than you're either stupid or from Croatia.

Well arent we edgy, I would give you some of mine Kodex Kool Kredits but then I wouldn't have any left for me.
I managed to finish DS3 while first two games just bored me to death, while second one is indeed much better it was still a just a endless grind of boring enemies, and its a shame since the start of the game was promising.
Wow, way to miss the point. Anyway, I'm glad you didn't illogically call F3 on lack of proper shooting mechanics.Cool story bro, but unfortunately DS3 makes F3 look like a proper sequel.
I wasn't calling it a good sequel, I haven't played your beloved game. I was pointing out how illogical it is to call the game out on things that have always been realities of the series.

Anyway, DS2 not only improved exponentially on every aspect of its prequel (bar the graphics), it also had quite a few things that other games in the genre didn't - best journal, special attacks, quests that were pretty expanded for this kind of game, a team with full control, various pets that could be developed in different ways. I never finished it, because the only h'n's that didn't bore me before ending was the first Diablo, but I'd say it's one of the best h'n's games.
DS3 is not only a completely shit game, it is also one of the worst examples of raping a PC series to use a brand to promote another shitty console game that has absolutely nothing to do with its predecessors and, like I already said, it even manages to beat abominations Fallout 3 in that aspect. Codex is usually up in arms when this happens, this time no one gave a fuck. Maybe because DS is not really a series worth caring about (good reason), maybe because DS was regurgitated by Obsidian (dumb reason), but it doesn't change a fact that it's both an awful game and a console rape.
Wow, way to miss the point. Anyway, I'm glad you didn't illogically call F3 on lack of proper shooting mechanics.
Iceburn.Agreed. We should not have attempted to tell much of a story in DS3. I pushed too hard for story in the beginning, and you, George, sealed our fate by writing such a kick ass narrative bible for a game license that was unsuited for such depth.
Dapper Old Gent and Jeyne Kassynder are some of the best antagonists of all time! They and the lack of annoying companions elevate it above the mundane Bioware-wannabe crapfest of NWN2.I still maintain that parts of the story itself were at least on the better side of Obsidians games. (Completly avoiding "evil" stereotypes. At least in the storyline itself)
Wow, way to miss the point. Anyway, I'm glad you didn't illogically call F3 on lack of proper shooting mechanics.
I didn't play Fallout 3 either. Not everyone around here plays every shit game they can get their hands on.
But then they would be asked why they played a game they saw as shit.Wow, way to miss the point. Anyway, I'm glad you didn't illogically call F3 on lack of proper shooting mechanics.

You can't say it is shit if you haven't played it. If someone said The Godfather was shit and then said they hadn't watched it, would their opinion be of any worth? Just to clarify, I'm not comparing Fallout 3 to The Godfather.
After I defeated Rajana, someone mentions her being special, and you can ask "what do you mean?" They then say that she's an archon, and you get a dialogue option of "Archon?" Then Anjali says "Tell me more about these archons."Anjali has a lot of special dialogues that others don't get regarding Archons, how odd that you're not seeing them. Probably because you haven't played with another character for comparison.

Its quite funny seeing you confused about me calling you edgy for your tone and then telling me that I am not the sharpest one.
No matter how many new features DS2 introduced I would rather play Nox or Diablo. whats the good about being innovative when your core gameplay is shit. When your core gameplay is shit the game itself is shit, so yeah its a better game then first one but still a shitty game.
Saying that DS3 is a bigger rape of a franchise then Fallout 3 is a joke, and thats saying it very mildly since I am not kool enough to use dirty words.
I bet you didn't.Wow, way to miss the point. Anyway, I'm glad you didn't illogically call F3 on lack of proper shooting mechanics.

What the hell are you talking about? "Edgy for my tone"? Edgy, edgy, edgy - you repeat it so often I only hear "butthurt".
What the hell has your fondness for Diablo and Nox got to do with anything and what is so shit about core gameplay of DS2 that it makes it so much worse? Diablo reached its status because it was first and its atmosphere and presentation were top notch. Plus, what's very important, it is a properly short game which means the typical h'n's boredom and burnout don't kick in before finish (which is one of the biggest problems of DS2 - its campaign is waaay too long for such game). But if you claim that core gameplay of a game like Diablo is somehow significantly better/different than DS2 then I don't even...
Tell me, funny guy, what is the connection between DS1-2 and DS3? Because Fallout3, while being a braindead monstrosity, clearly tried to copy large parts of previous Fallout games - feel of the world, character system, aimed shots, equipment etc. It was done in an incredibly clumsy and talentless manner, but everyone can see that it's a shit game that someone tried to place in a Fallout universe. The connection between DS2 and DS3 is virtually nonexistent, it amounts to some casual namedropping at best. If you took an average person who tried DS1-2 and made him play DS3 without revealing its title and these few names that appear here and there he would have never guessed it's a DS game.
What problems did you have? I've tried it on two rigs, didn't have any problems on either, got insanely high framerates with max settings.I later played it on pc aswell and boy do I hate their new engine. Glorious times await if their next PC game performs so "well" on computers like DS3 did.
