I pre-ordered this game simply because it had "Dungeon Siege" in its name. Big mistake!
A simple "Special thanks to Chris Taylor" in the credits DOES NOT make a game Dungeon Siege!
Occasional reference to DS2 characters DOES NOT make a game Dungeon Siege!
Naming certain areas after DS2 only brings back memories but DOES NOT make a game Dungeon Siege!
Seing myself, the Farmer Girl, tucked away in a dank dungeon tomb does not make a game Dungeon Siege!
We all know what it took to climb up the Zaramot's Horns.
Nice marketing trick; or should I say it the way it actually is? FALSE ADVERTISING!
I certainly would not have bought it if it weren't named Dungeon Siege. I'm certain
many of you also fell for that. To be honest, it had a nice story and would have a great
ending if only for that stupid, idiotic, even anal final battle .
I played it to the end as if it were just another game. I liked many aspects of it, mainly the story,
but hated majority of its features:
DS1 had no sky and that was understandable at that time. (I know the mechanics behind that)
DS2 had no sky and it was dissappointing and annoying for its pariod.
DS3 STILL has no sky and a "Blaire Witch" camera that gives me headaches.
The multi-player is even worse and simply not playable for me.
Wake up people... its the year 2011, not 2001.
'nuff said about Key Mapping and there lack of it so I'll not dwell on that except to say "what da heck were
you thinking when you came up with those keys" lol? Were you thinking at all???
Ah, the TARGETING. Lol, what is THAT? Oh I know... THE WORSE TARGETING EVER!!!
If any of you have figured out how to make your "girls" shoot at where you're aiming, please let me know ;-)
Saving and loading is a mess too. Instead of having F keys for Quick Save (that over writes itself) and Quick Load,
you have to go through all that mambo jumbo that totally breaks continuity and concentration.
It's called "The Immersion Factor" you idiot developers... look it up!!!
I was hoping DS3 would hold me until the release of Diablo III but, seems I'll have to shop around again.
My overall rating of this game, whatever its name maybe, is a 4 out of 10.
When you have to release a PATCH to correct basics such as Key Mapping, PC Controls, Camera controls,
that is a poorly done game, designed in s garage instead of in a reputable and experienced company.
