I loved DS1 & 2 - still do - there is just something about them that really connect to me. I also appreciate the fact that not everyone likes the Dungeon Siege games as much as I do. We all have our quirks and acquired tastes.
I have been keenly looking forward to the third installment for the longest of times - even before it was confirmed that there would be a third. After playing the demo on PC & on Xbox - I have to congratulate Obsidian on a truly splendid & highly accomplished game - you guys have hit a home run as far as I am concerned. Thank you for providing an installment that IS truly Dungeon Siege. It is very easy to knock the demo as un-dungeon siege like after a quick 30 min hands on. However, I encourage all to just slow down & appreciate the nuances, subtlety and key details that provide for a very consistant Dungeon Siege experience.
The amount of negativity from a very vocal & immature minority is truly toxic and indeed venomous. Even if Chris Taylor cloned himself a hundred ways & times and created DS3,4,5,6,7 - there will be those who will NEVER be satisfied. To some DS1 is the be all and end all - the ONLY canonical & authentic DS experience. How sad...
DS3 should be played with a key context in mind: 150 years have passed since the events of the first. Alot can happen and change in a century & a half...
DS3 is completely different from the first two? So is DS2 to DS1 - The towns of Eirulan, Amanlu & Kalrathia and areas of DS2 bear very little resemblance to Stonebridge, Glacern, etc of DS1. DS1 & DS2 are quite different to each other. It is time to wake up and recognize that DS3 is & will be a superior gaming experience to the first two. Bias, prejudice and a rigid gaming outllook is behind so much of the negativity.
The petty, pitiful and pathetic vocal minority be damned, I intend to enjoy DS3, and nothing a handful of ****roaches will ever change that.
Thanks once again Obsidian! The demo was awesome. You have my huge endorsement, appreciation and gratitude.
