I'm not really one to ask for a refund but I really wish I didn't buy this game.
It was a fleeting single player with no real multi-player and no continual game play.
I've had it for maybe a week or so and now it's just sitting on the shelve, it was so short lived!!!!
If a games focused on Multi-player (which is what I was lead to believe by reviews with devs and even on the homepage for this game) they make it so you can keep on playing over and over with friends or randoms, if its a single player game then it has a campaign that takes 30 - 50+ hours to finish and a decent story and large world to explore...
This game has neither.
MP is total crap, sluggish with 4 people, terrible camera, we all know the issues with it...
Single player is not continuous, quick, easy, no different story/starting for all the different characters (which was something I was expecting at least) so if you want to go through with different characters you get the same experience every time...
As I've said many times before I do enjoy this game, the concept and game play is pretty good. I really liked going through and listening to all the dialog and getting the story, but after that there's nothing, you go through a second time and there's nothing new, you make a couple of different choices and that's it... no new starting area for the different characters, no new events, nothing... You know EXACTLY where mobs are as there is no random spawns at all, the decent loot is even in the same places and the only thing different is the character your playing or how you build them...
People are going to say "no its not, I really enjoy this game etc. etc..." but give it a week and see how into this game you still are.
DLC won't fix this as it would be maybe an hour or 2 more play time and then boring again.
The only thing they could do is make some random generating dungeons, continuous play and porting of heroes from single to multi IMO...

Its annoys the crap out of me jumping into forums and seeing people do nothing but try to shoot down other peoples posts...
Its mostly fanboys trying to shoot down people with legitimate complaints and I find them very annoying and pathetic.
This game has very short single player, no extended play and bad MP... there is PLENTY to complain about and the benefits of this game do, in no way, out shine the flaws...
Even you fan boys will be done with this game after 2 weeks id say...
This game is fun for a short period but it gets very dull, very fast with nothing to keep you going....
-
its sad to say but people are going to stop playing this game after MAYBE a month...
There is going to be a 'no this is a great game bla ba bla...' reaction from the fanboys, but fact is there's just not enough to keep anyone going in this game... it takes no time at all to blitz through this game, I've gone through with all toons (I keep changing though as I get bored) and there's no difficulty that's a real challenge, heroic is easy once you get an idea how the game work but very hard online due to nothing more than the games camera....
I've pretty much stopped playing and gone back to playing other games as starting over and over again but doing the same stuff just doesn't stimulate me due to no reward for ur time u put in and no viable online play thanks to just leveling up other peoples toons which is a waste of time...
In 2 weeks if many/any of the people who brought this game when it was released are still playing it I'll be surprised...
Sorry fanboys but its the truth...
Btw DLC wont be worth it... it took no time at all to go through the whole game start to finish and DLC would have to pretty much be a whole new story... just adding in 1 area is going to give you maybe an hour or 2 of fun and then its just going to be a bore again....
We all know what will make this game be a winner (continued game play, fix online play and such) but at the moment its just a very short time filler and nothing more.
Its a pity because I do like this game but there's just nothing to keep you going.

Im quite keen for doing what the op mentioned with someone....
I play on PS3 usually from 4pm on wards (times are randomish after 4pm) GMT +12 NZ time
Heroic difficulty for sure
-
Seriously? Their planning on fixing it?
I would love to see that thread says they are... I've been looking for something from them explaining their plans for patches and fixes are but only found the sticky on this forum

Thanks for the build, im trying it out now...
A cool build I made myself for Kat was a full on life stealing build.
You pretty much always use duel wield and max out her aoe ability to do dmg and get as much vamp and will as you can, and any ability that can be talented to heal you you max out...
Pretty fun getting a couple of ppl trapped against a wall and putting 3 of her aoe ability down to make them trapped between the wall and ur aoe so thy can't move. You end up just sucking life out of them like no bodies business, stagger is also pretty handy to have as its effect transfers to the aoe as well so u have a whole heap of stunned enemies with their life getting sucked out for you, and if you use ur curses and ur dog u get alot of life back making it really hard to die

I think this game is pretty good... it has alot of good points but also quite a few bad points which kills the games longevity..
Good points
1. Fun and exciting fighting style
2. Very nice looking effects and world
3. Interesting story line
4. Entertaining boss fights
5. Many varied ways to build characters
Bad points
1. Multi player in general (camera, no carrying across your own online toon, no continuated play option)
2. Very short single player campagin
3. Absolutely no challenge on normal but heroic is abit more challenging (especially some high end boss fights)
So in summary very fun and good looking game but too short with bad co op and no longevity for the game.

Predicting a time line for a patch would be pretty stupid. There's no way telling how much time it will take them to fix/balance issues. Saying something like "it's going to be out in two weeks" and when it isn't, would only create more rage.
Well they could just say ' we are currently working on...' or 'we are planning to make the following changes...' if they at least gave some sort of reply it would calm down a lot of the rage IMO because ppl would at least know their working on something for us and the constant complaints about MP would calm down...
At the moment its just like their ignoring everyone and dont plan to fix or change anything...
I don't know why the hell you guys are trolling on this.... in essence all im asking for is some feedbak from them with what their plans are to address the complaints that have been coming up in regards to the multi player and there is ALOT of them...
-
.... why do people just accept something that's crap?
I've given this game love as well but I want to know what is going to be done about the things everyone wants changed...
I wish I could change the topic name...
-
Oooookay, they put that out on the 16th of june.... the release date...with no mention of PS3 OR XBOX..... OR any mention about fixing the things the entire community has been complaining about which is the MP issues...
please don't put something as stupid as that up and think ur being smart...
The games been out for 9 days and there is just MASSES of complaints about the MP and me, yourself , and hundreds of other people wnt to know what they plan to do...
-
I am just curious if obsidian are planning on making any kind of announcement on the HUGE amount of outrage that has come from from the community?
It would be nice to have some sort of feed back to all the requests and concerns that have been produced from the people who have purchased this game and also to know what their plans are for fixing these issues that have been brought to light?
At the moment its just ppl speculating on what MIGHT get fixed and how, it would be nice to know what is ACTUALLY going to get done for us with some kind of time line...
-
K thanks dude, I'll raise a ticket there then...
-
Okay...
Still only able to get into a small amount of games...
I've completed the game and done all the things I've said above and still the same problem..
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL MY WHY THE HELL THIS IS LIKE THIS?
Or at least that their looking into it FFS... this is frustrating as hell... I posted this 3 days ago and all I've had is a tip from the Moderator saying to update the game...
Is it a port forwarding issue?
Is there something I'm missing?
I mean seriously, throw me a bone here Tech Support!
-
Totally agree...
You guys NEED to put in sometime with the multiplayer on this game...
You have officially said in reviews and interviews that this game was geared towards Co-Op but all we've got is a BS tack on top of the single player with no real thought put into it...
SORT IT OUT!
You've got plenty of fans on this website giving you the ideas to fix it now implement them and DO IT RIGHT!
-
BUMP!
Does obsidian actually give any tech support?
Or is this forum just for the lols and to let customers try and figure out their issues?
-
I don't think so , this game is better than DA2 by miles. Gamers still have that game and many solo games that don't include MP. Saying that gamers will trade it for the lack of MP is not true. If a game is good deserve to be part of your collection. Not all games need MP ; much less to win "success".
I played GoW3 and Honor Among Thieves 2, absolutely loved the single player experience in them!
I finished them both twice and haven't touched them since...
I brought DS3 with the understanding that it was going to be a ARPG geared towards Co-op online, that's the ONLY reason I brought it...
Now I will say I've been quite impressed and enjoyed the single player, but the reason I brought it is a waste of time at the moment...
Once I finish the single player with 2 heroes I'd say its going to just sit there and collect dust like the other single player games which is not what I expected for this game because the MP isn't what I was lead to believe by Obsidian themselves... (look up reviews/interviews with the lead dev before anyone says when did they say that)
At the moment I can't even join 3/4s or games on the PSN because its saying incompatible version which I don't understand how it could be and I'm still waiting for a reply to my question on the Tech help... and yes I've updated the game and my PS3 and then also deleted all the game data stored on the PS3 and reloaded and repatched and still have the same issue...

I want more fun!!!
Hire a hooker...

has anyone seen them say something about fixing more than that can you post it?
I've had a look but only thing I've found is
http://forums.obsidian.net/index.php?showtopic=57715
Which doesn't even say ANYTHING about console, only for PC... so is console just going to get completely shafted?
-
BUMP!
I'm still having this issue...
My game version is 1.01 and my PS3 is fully updated...
I just went through and deleted all game data from the PS3, installed the 1.01 update again and I'm still only able to play 5/21 games online...
It is still the exact same issue of "The game is using an incompatible version"...
There is 7 other people playing at the moment with games I'm able to access which means they're most likely having the same issue, so please look into this.
It wouldn't be something like a different region or something?
Its not an issue with me not updating my game as above I have fully updated it and with PS3 it forces you to update the game so we should all be using the same version no matter what...
I wanna play online with people but if 3/4s of players online can't join my game or I can't join theirs then I'm VERY restricted in what I can do...
-
The y-axis is vertical, so it won't have any effect. Not sure, I'll check out my game soon.
Someone on this forum posted how to make AutoHotkey(?) work with DS3, perhaps you can use that to switch A & D.
This has nothing to do with the patch but I just realized your from Wellington as well!
SUP! Represent! haha

I want to see new multiplayer...
They should fix the multiplayer side of this game and make it so you can do what every ARPG likes and wants which is continued play and their own personal online character that they can build up and cultivate into a wreaking machine with fully geared up gold everything and all the bells and whistles...
Obviously the camera needs to be sorted which is a no brainer (I still can't believe they released the game with that camera for multiplayer).
DLC is going to be pointless because people are going to be trading this game pretty quick thanks to Multiplayer being ass and single being too quick and easy...
I'm not going to wait around for some DLC for single player as I brought this game for the Co Op experience just like 80-90% of the people who bought DS3...
So fix multiplayer, don't do it in dungeon siege 4 because you would have already destroyed hopes for the game and lost about 50% of the people who brought DS3. Its worth putting in the extra effort to fix the Multi in DS3 because then you will already have the general idea and coding that could be ported across for DS4 (if you make it) and you will retain A LOT more customers who will buy the DLC, buy DS4 and in the long run obsidian will make a lot more money which is what all this is about for you guys...
Think about it....
*edited*
I do actually like the game and thought I flamed Obsidian a little hard so toned it down...
Good job on the whole guys but seriously Multiplayer is going to kill this game a lot earlier than it should be and you should jump in and fix it FAST
-
I must say I agree, this game shouldn't just end, its going to make the game lose interest for me VERY quickly...
The devs got a lot of things right with this game but also a few key parts VERY wrong...
1. The difficulty is waaaaaay to easy, normal is a joke! Through my whole normal game with Kat I didn't die once and only felt a lilworried that I might maybe 3 or 4 times and I've never played any other dungeon siege games...heroic is more challenging but seems more like it should be normal
2. The camera... omfg the camera... you guys must have not even tried playing the game co op with 4 ppl before you released it otherwise u would have figured out how terrible of a setup you created! The area is waaaaaay to small for 4 people to play, you end up getting teleported back to the host constantly which is stupid and you can't even have one person run forward and pull them back into a trap or anything cause of the area. It seems to me like they setup the co op on a singhle console/pc and got lazy and couldn't be bothered writing a different setup for online... bad bad bad bad design...
3. Not getting anything from playing someone elses co op game... another retarded move, their excuse is that its meant to be played with friends so you can help them then they help you... really? That is just stupid, its an online game and just cause I got the game doesn't mean my friends are going to get it, so what your left wit is playing with random and getting nothing for it... why could it have been made so you have ur own online heroes u can use? It saves what items you have and ability scores at every level and u just save at the normal save points but your not saving where your up to your saving ur character... easy fixed, and since it saves ur exact items at every level and records them you can go back to any point and play with ur character at any level online with co op... I thought of that in 30secs just now, why couldn't the devs?
And 4. The ops orinigal point... its a hack and slash dungeon crawl game that's all about leveling and loot... obsidian have said that themselves in interviews... so why would they just stop the leveling and loot acquiring at lvl 30 after you best the boss? Tke a look at diablo 1 or 2 an learn from the best... there is a reason ppl are still playing that game and you could have do he the same sort of effect with this game if u had spent
more time on the game asnd less thinking about getting it out quicker since it was a franchise game and making money.

I updated the game when I first played it (20/6) but I haven't had any other update notifations come through since then...

Hey guys,
Been playing for a couple of days now and i'm enjoying the game so far, only major problem is the camera...
In single player it manageable but with very limited tilt allowance and one of the worst zoom functions I've played with its kinda frustrating...
The main issue though is co op camera... its fkn terrible... seriously just sooooo bad..
It constantly changes to the top down view making it horrible for ranged combat and well combat in General, if you have a retard in ur party who just stands there u can't move thanks to all 4 heroes being jammed in around the hosts screen and not having their own screen even while on different consoles all together is just stupid... if ur in combat and the host is taking out one group of mobs and ur off trying to get the ranged with lucus (the melee hero) if the 2 groups are too far apart u can hardly even get to them... also if u dodge or do a special that takes u out of the screen ur instant ported back on top of the host...
This setup is just so retarded there must be a way to change it, ur developers and testers can't be so bad as to think this is a good experience for the players of this game using this kind of setup, the co op not transferring across hero levels and items is one thing (which could of been sorted quite easily but that's a totally different post) but handeable, the camera is just ass, surely ( ifthere isn't already a way) u could do a patch to fix this for everybody because I know i wont be the only one complaining about this... its easy enough to fix, just make it so the camera you looking at is independant just like on single player, will make co op as lot easier to play and also set up the game fr some pretty cool tactics...
At the bare minimum u should make the zoom range a bit further out but that's the BARE MINIMUM it wont fix the problem, just make it a little more bareable...
Another thing the camera would benefit from would be the ability to free zoom out and in and the ability to tilt alot further

Hey all,
I've been trying to get into a game via the psn but 3/4 of the games are shown as being incompatable versions?
If you finish the game does it change something in the version or something?
Or maybe if you have the limited edition is it a slightly different version?
Just seems strange because I thought you would have to update the game to play online?
Thanks

it's not bad, but not great either

Don't worry, their just doing what everyone does on these forums and are trying to find any way they can to poke holes in what people are saying...
Its quite obvious he was meaning in-regards to the dialog wheel/animation part of the game since there isn't really much else that this game relates to ME from, but he just wanted to try and make a big deal over nothing...
Just ignore him, its for the best
