I don't tend to log in a lot to comment anymore since years, but I just can't let this go without a word.
1.
The game is called Dungeon Siege 3, you may or may not agree with criticism but sure as hell one who plays it should care about DS1 and DS2 or atleast not insult the people who are fans of the previous games, not to mention remember that this is THEIR franchise no matter what you may think, and without those "ancient" "crappy" games there wouldn't be any DS3 either.

Get your act together and stay polite, there is no need to insult people and show in what a barbarian society we live in by flaming/trolling around.
I don't know yet what the game will be like myself, am unable to even play the demo atm, but I do know from my own past experience that if a game has no (or lacks) resemblance to its predecessors then it loses its original fanbase and has to rely on the shaky chance to get new fans, sometimes that works as in case of Fallout 3, other times (and that happens a lot more) it fails terribly and means the end of a franchise/series.
This is an universal truth for movies, books, TV series, ect, not just games.
Ouch!
Great post.
