Obsidian making Dungeon Siege III

[Purkake]

I spy with my little eye... something cool from DS 2.

 

To hell with you funcroc! :shakefist:

Spikey hair?

[HoonDing]

Must be Azunai the Defender.

 

I would be interested to see Xeria as well.

[mkreku]

That's some seriously nice looking art! I love it.

[PoetAndMadman]

Nice art indeed!

It's quite strange that they are showing the working build to the press and yet they didn't show any screenshot or a trailer...

[Irrelevant]

Maybe the game is in beta and they want opinions on from the press.

Most of the press remarks seem to imply its alpha or pre-alpha.

[Hassat Hunter]

I hope they don't listen too badly to the press feedback though *cough* Alpha Protocol *cough*...

[Irrelevant]

What is the difference? I thought alpha is before they put art in.(That face is laughing at my soul...)

The press might have been overly harsh on AP, but they weren't complaining about the good parts.

Some/A lot of them were.

[Purkake]

Maybe we have different opinion of the "good parts"?

[Oner]

Depends. If you're talking about the C&C, the negative reviews I read didn't even mention it.

Some have called the characters bland, the VO bad, etc.

Thinking about it, the only thing that wasn't criticized was the music.

No, actually, GameBanshee review criticized the music.

Well, for me the "good parts" were the perks, the dynamic mission structure based on the intel and your previous choices and the characters. Everything else can be improved.

 

So while taking press criticism one for one is probably a bad idea in any case, they usually point out the major flaws pretty well if you aggregate the result enough.

 

EDIT: Oh and dossiers as well, but it would be nice if they were used a bit more actively in the game.

But praised the research made for the Russian characters, including Brayko. Apparently, lot of Russian archetypes and "clich
