still having maintenance issues ?

Is this normal ? What could possibly be the reason do you guys think ? Maintenance ? Their other forums are open. Perhaps preparing for release ? Again I normally never register to talk about a game so I really dont know. http://member.square-enix.com/na/forums/index.php

can't wait to witness the fall of Obsidian by the hand of the mighty DS community Reread what I wrote again and try as hard as you can to figure out all of the words instead of just a select few. Your 1 liners are awesome though. Keep them coming.

My impressions of DS3 are this. I have never had a sequel pull the rug out from under me like this one did. I went from loving the series and being excited for this game and what it could be...to being so completely turned off and dejected because I knew the series was over and that I would never play another "new" DS game again....in a matter of 15 minutes. Im well aware of this being a new company and all of the console hype, but still....as a fan of Dungeon Siege, this game sucked ass. Those are my impressions.

After sleeping on it, Obsidian probably made the right choice. They are banking that they will make more money selling DS3 as a console game and a PC afterthought rather than a PC first game. It's much easier for them to mold a game for console and release a generic console RPG than to go back and look at what made DS1 and 2 great and improve on it while keeping the same feel and playability. It just sucks for me since I dont own a console and loved both DS1 and DS2. They are banking on that people like myself and some others in this forum are in the minority and that the amount of people buying this for console only will outweigh the Dungeon Siege PC following being completely turned off and not purchasing the game. I will say that I think PC sales of DS 3 will be fine or even great just due to the DS name. If however they ever decide to make a DS 4 (yea right), it will be such a collosal PC flop, they will write stories for generations to come

who gives a flying f? I would say fans who wanted to play Dungeon Siege 3.

For any fans of Dungeon Siege 1 and 2, this game is not the same. I almost feel like they had another RPG already made, bought the naming rights of Dungeon Siege from Gas Powered Games, and slapped on the title. Dont get me wrong, the game itself is not bad. Yes, the game is basically meant for consoles with the PC version being an afterthought (the irony), but it doesnt even remotely resemble either of its predessors. Sadly for me, my opinion only, the Dungeon Siege series is dead. Even if they made the controls for PC bearable, it still is just a completely different RPG than what fans of the series are used to. Again, its not a bad thing, I just wont be buying the game. Also, making the demo available for PC users was probably not the smartest move money wise. Had the demo not been released, my brother and I would have snatched up 2 copies just due to name recognition alone. Now, I doubt I touch this in the bargain bin 9 months from now. I would love to end this post with some suggestions for the devs on things they can improve on, but "scrap everything" and start over just isnt constructive. Not angry, just massively dissappointed that the series is over.
