DS1 and DS2 where some of my favorite games of all time. Aside from the constant upgrading of equipment/leveling up that made it very hard for me to stop playing, the two other features from the 1st two appear to be missing in this new DS3 demo. The #1 thing I loved about DS1/2 was that fact the it could be played completely with a mouse. The games were extremely enjoyable siting back on my couch, with no more than a gyration air mouse in hand, watching the adventure unfold on my big screen. I really, really hope that will be possible with the retail version or I wont be purchasing the game. The second thing I loved was that in the 1st two, it felt like I was always walking/running through a National Park. Breathtaking scenery almost all the time. So far, that hasn't been the case. The controls are buggy, and the game has crashed twice in the 1st 45mins on what is other wise a very stable computer. This games is not ready for Dungeon Siege Fans. :-(
