Dungeon Siege 3 Delayed Until June

[exfileme]

Like Duke Nukem Forever, Dungeon Siege 3 needs a bit more polish before going public.

Well hey, if it means us just having to wait a bit longer for the game to be more polished and overall better, I think it would benefit everybody.

@adam873873,
I agree, Fallout 3: New Vegas was a train wreck, especially the console version. It could have been polished a lot more.

The notion that the same people play FPS and RPG games is bordering on ridiculous. I'm sure there's some significant overlap, but the majority of players for each genre are not going to like the other very much (mildly put)...

Companies in general rush video games too much. I really hope this one turns out good.

 

[Guest]

agnickolov - your comment is baffling to say the least. I've played both FPS, RPG and RTS too - and enjoy them equally. A gamer enjoys all good games, full stop.

Anyway, the charm of Dungeon Siege got lost in the 2nd instalment. No. 3 will just be another generic RPG. Number 1 was best, not least because of it's auto-attack mode and atmosphere.

When 2k Games took over development of Dungeon Siege, they eliminated the ease and support of modding, kinda ruined the game for me, I really liked the plethora of fan created Star Wars mods for instance. Maybe with a new developer again, the game will return to even being fun. And worthwhile to purchase as a result. I hope thats not a foreign concept to this developer, unlike the last. Again, they kinda ruined it.. shame on them.

I liked some aspects of Dungeon Siege a lot. The mechanics were not overly complex. It lacked replay value though, unlike (for example) Diablo II (which I still play). DS3 is on my [eventual] purchase list, likely as soon as the price gets down to $30.

Obsidian is known for writing really good stories along with innovating on any game they work on. They are a great development company and I expect Dungeon Siege 3 will continue that trend.

KOTOR 2 was a great game and IMO better than the first. The Story was unfinished because there was supposed to be a 3rd one.

NWN2 I can't comment on. I played it but don't remember my opinion

Alpha Protocol was awesome. If the reviewers out there stopped playing it as a run and gun corridor FPS they wouldn't have had any problems. The story, dialog, characters, everything were top notch. Thats not the say the game didn't have a plethora of bugs though, everyone knows it did. I recommend anyone who chooses to play it try the Pistol and take your time. Don't run and gun. As for the other problems with the game, why don't you look its history and you will find out its more the publishers fault.

Fallout: NV was a great game and a lot more faithful to the original 2 than FO 3 ever was. Although I made the mistake of doing every side quest before the main mission and grew bored after playing it for 20-30 hours. As for your comment on the graphics I am not quite sure what your referring to. I don't remember any popping.

Essentially Obsidian has a history of always improving upon the first game either they made or another company did. If you go back and look at each instance you just listed they were always screwed over by the publisher wanting to either release the game before it was ready or interfering in the development cycle of the game and forcing them to make changes/additions they didn't want. Sadly as the developer they don't have a huge say on it as its not their money but the quality ends up reflecting on them by people like you who don't take the time to find out why the games didn't live up to your expectations.

I actually do play FPS and RPG, Action Adventure, and sports games, too. I play most game types out there personally, but it isn't possible to say everyone is like that.

I'm amazed that the PC version costs less; I guess it's a way to apologize for the game being a console port, maybe?

 

[RipperjackAU]

Another game being delayed, surprise?... NOT!

More over, I like how these development company head get all apologetic and say they are "very sorry" for such delays, when in reality... they don't dive a $#!T. They will still make their money regardless. They'll shovel it when they shovel it.

Looks good as long as it is not tied to GFWL, I will accept STEAM activation.

Some aspects of DS were / are very entertaining. The extreme linear path and lack of the ability to just go somewhere at choice and explore is such a let down and frustrating, though.

 

[hallock]

DS rock I can't wait to see 3 still but if I of to wait one extra month more, well thats kool once it is better than all previous versions

 

[fyend]

Hopefully it winds up being good on PC and not the usual dumbed down console port.

Every single person I know that I would consider to be a gamer plays both FPS and RPGs. To me 'real' gamers play FPS, RTS, and RPGs. Those are the 3 main types of 'hardcore' games. Anyone that doesn't play one of those types is missing out on a bunch of great games.

Dissapointing for some, but DS3 has looked like a consolised turd for some time.

Everything SE touches on the PC turns to crap

 

[Guest]

It is a turd... Sad what they do to PC games when they try to port them to console. It is currently available on steam as a demo, and sucks badly.
