Morgoth Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I wonder when the preview embargo will be lifted. Wasn't there some kind of press event earlier this month? Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorstUsernameEver Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 According to Google they complain about lack of inspiration in the dialogues and lack of ambition. Of course, it's a shifty Russian blog with a Dungeon Siege II screenshot so yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starwars Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Well, writing is one thing that seems to vary a lot in how people appreciate it. There were people that hated the writing in AP, there were plenty of people who preferred the companions in the NWN2 OC compared to MotB, people who felt that New Vegas was lacking in good characters compared to Fallout 3 etc etc. That said, it will be interesting to see how all the story stuff is tackled in the game since it seems like it'll be a lighter game on that than other OEI games.

WorstUsernameEver Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 (edited) Also, assuming that preview is legit, there's only a total of 4 characters to choose from. It'd be a little disappointing... EDIT: Of course, that's also assuming that the Google translation is decent, and considering I couldn't make half of it...

Sannom Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 There is a preview in the latest Canard PC, as expected, I will tell you more as soon as I can get my hands on it, this evening (for me) or tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwars Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I think we'll see some harsher words from some of the EU mags/sites in particular, they seem to be generally more open to oppose PC titles going the way of the consoles and so forth even if DS always seemed to be a very lite game to me (though I never played them so...). Time will tell I suppose. Though I do think it's high time we get some more info on this.

Sannom Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 To tell the truth, I'm expecting some harsh words from this magazine given the quasi-worship they showed to Obsidian with Alpha Protocol (9/10) and Fallout: New Vegas (10/10, and an article written as someone who finally "saw the light" ).

WorstUsernameEver Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Even Alpha Protocol got gaming magazine covers. Dungeon Siege III? Not even one. A fairly bad sign if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flouride Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Even Alpha Protocol got gaming magazine covers. Dungeon Siege III? Not even one. A fairly bad sign if you ask me. You seriously expect magazines to use a preview game as magazine cover instead of all the titles that have come out recently? "Hey all of our competitors got games such CoD:Black Ops, FNV, Mafia 2 etc. as their cover. Let's use DS3 that we know very little of as our magazine cover!" Do we even know if there's proper material to use a magazine cover... You could give that doomsayer thing a rest for a bit.. The world is not ending in 2012, nor can we predict the outcome of DS3's success when they haven't started their pr campaing properly. Hate the living, love the dead.

Morgoth Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 DS3, dat game where I keep saying SE has it lined up for a Q1 2011 release, is surely not getting much attention time. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flouride Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 DS3, dat game where I keep saying SE has it lined up for a Q1 2011 release, is surely not getting much attention time. Aye, and you've never seen original release date being pushed back a bit to avoid direct competition with like 3 other crpgs... Hate the living, love the dead.

Sannom Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 The Canard PC preview isn't too exciting : most of it is taken by the tale of how the journalist's dog died while pulling his sled in Paris' en-snowed streets (don't ask ) and the journalist says that he couldn't really build an opinion of the game. He played the game for one hour and a half on the X-Box 360. Apparently, he could switch between the characters, but he's not enthusiastic about the infinite shared inventory and regrets the absence of a real skill tree (apparently he gained all of them fairly early). The graphics were beautiful however, and he liked the writing, which he felt really had the "Obsidian's touch". The game felt linear and scripted, the developers told it was because he played a early level of the game. He concludes by saying that he's expecting a honest action-RPG saved from genericness by Obsidian's knack for writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorstUsernameEver Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Any news on how many classes there are in the game? Does the writer elaborate on why there's no "real" skill tree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sannom Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Like I said, not really interesting : no intel on the story, classes or even gameplay (he didn't mention the stances). It's actually kind of disappointing on a journalistic level for that magazine. Either he was completely uninterested or he didn't get to ask questions, but it really isn't really an interesting preview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkLord RuKen Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Like I said, not really interesting : no intel on the story, classes or even gameplay (he didn't mention the stances). It's actually kind of disappointing on a journalistic level for that magazine. Either he was completely uninterested or he didn't get to ask questions, but it really isn't really an interesting preview. I really wish Obsidian would step their game up and get some real information out. What are the classes? What are the skills? How does multiplayer work? Give us something. I hope to high hell this has a create a character and that multiplayer games are not just me joining my friend in his campaign and only having the option to play as one of the scripted characters of the game.

Raptor 1 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Any images of the main character or something? I want to know how many classes are in the game aswell as how are they, control layout, gamplay general information like it will be linear? it will have a hub kinda place where we get side quests? Anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
