Sacred 2

[xuerebx]

Anyone here play the game? I downloaded the demo yesterday, and I've been playing it for a while.

The begining stages seem...bland. Not sure it's the game I want, but maybe it gets better. Does it?

I just really need a game right now, Sacred 2 seemed a good choice.

 

[Balor]

It gets worse.

 

[xuerebx]

I should add if anyone wants to suggest an RPG...

Something after 2002. I believe I've played most of the pre 2002 era.

Halo, cant go wrong with that one.

Sacred 2 is a Diablo clone. Nothing more, nothing less. If you expect it to be a real RPG, prepare to be disappointed even more.

If you want something actiony, I've quite enjoyed Rise of the Argonauts as an RPG-lite which is mostly an action game with some occasional dialogue that even contains very minor C&C. It does horribly rape Greek mythology, though, but which mythologically inspired game doesn't nowadays.

Looked RotA up. Hmm, doesn't seem so bad. Might give it a try, is it just fighting and fighting?

Any more suggestions?

Well it's mostly fighting but there's also areas where you can walk around freely, talk to people and do quests. RPG-lite, as I said. More dialogue than Sacred, though, so you'd probably prefer it.

Ah right, cheers, I'll read some more about it.

Patch 2.4 on Sacred 2 introduced bugs that took two steps backwards. This game has been out for well over six months and its playability is mediocre at best in its current state. You're far better off getting something else. Ascaron is going thru cash woes, and may doing the Flagship departure before the end of the year.

That Blind Guardian gag was quite funny in a gay power metal way. Apart from that it's just hack / slash ad nauseam. You travel from place A to B killing pretty much everything in sight and when you look the other way everything has spawned back and you get a serious cramp in your mouse hand. You really have to like grind to get any enjoyment out of it.

I guess I can cross off Sacred2 from the list. More suggestions welcome...

Sacred 2's main appeal appears to be petite models dressed in tiny thongs and rags.

I literally spent 2 hours searching for a game on the internet, nothing. Absolutely nothing.

I'm buying Deus Ex tomorrow, and Thief if I can find that one.
