looping Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 For one license born on PC is a shame to see that it is unplayable on keyboard mouse in multiple sites they say the same thing about problem keyboard / mouse and also on several forums many players PC say they do not want to buy the game because of that I hope Obsidian will rectify this before the release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wombat Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) Actually, it matters PC only, which is smaller market. No matter what they say, hardcore fans will probably buy it anyway (Well, I wonder how bad it would be compared with NWN2) but, if they release it in the described state, it is most likely to affect on the score in major review sites. A possible bright side is that, despite of the reputation of clunky controls, different from CD Projekt Red's, Obsidian's interface tends to be good and I hope this standard will be kept in this game, too. I admit it is rather subtle part but I think it is a part of know-how they have built in their past CRPG developments (Somehow, traditionally, Japanese standard is quite high in this respect, though).

C2B Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) Another german console magazine, Mgames, apparently trashed Dungeon Siege III in their new issue giving it the lowest score of the "big" games of the month. 74% Other scores of the month MGames 7/2011: L.A. Noire 82%, DiRT 3 89%, Ocarina of Time 3D 93%, Dungeon Siege III 74%, Brink 79%, Lego Pirates 77%, Dead or Alive 3DS 85% via a twitter post Edited May 26, 2011 by C2B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendu Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) The German 360LiVE Magazine (it's not an official magazine): 8.5. Just for comparison, other ratings in the same issue are: L.A. Noire 8.8, Red Faction Armageddon 8.1, Brink 7.3. Graphic: 7 * detailed enemies, nice enviroments, but there is room for more Sound: 8 * brilliant ambient noise, good synchro, nice music Controls: 8 * Such games only work with mouse and keyboard? As if! General Pro & Cons: + motivating gameplay + coherent look + bulky magic effects + good length + demanding enemies + very well thought out combat system + well arranged menu + comfortable help function + carefully balanced heroes - you can't create your hero from scratch - the presentation of dialogs - the first hour is a little bit dull - sometimes loading times could be shorter - no optical difference when you equip your hero with a new armor * the reviewer thinks the game is very addictive ("Just one more level up!") * 25 hours for the first playthrough on normal difficulty. * inventory is really good * an absolute stable framerate Edited May 26, 2011 by Bendu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowScythe Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Loading times are long? The previews I saw seemed to suggest there weren't any loading screens between maps/they were really minimal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmp10 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I think they mean menu loading times. It was mentioned in some preview that they could get a little annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C2B Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) - no optical difference when you equip your hero with a new armor ? Is there a problem with the review code? Because there are sure as hell different armors. Edited May 26, 2011 by C2B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwars Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Looks like it will be yet another OEI game with very varying reception, hehe. Wonder why the Germans are so early with their reviews though? It's still like 4 weeks or something until release.

WorstUsernameEver Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 - no optical difference when you equip your hero with a new armor ? Is there a problem with the review code? Because there are sure as hell different armors. I think there are different types of armors and not every single armor is different looking. Not sure what they were expecting though, it's almost impossible to make every single piece of armor/item unique for a loot-heavy game. I guess they could've randomized them some more, but it probably fell out of the scope of the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendu Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) Wonder why the Germans are so early with their reviews though? It's still like 4 weeks or something until release. It's just speculation, but the next issue of these magazines will be full of E3 coverage. So the focus will be on Mass Effect 3 & Co. Considering that Square Enix has made a wise choice. I'm more curious why there are no reviews by magazines from other countries. Edited May 26, 2011 by Bendu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least here in Finland the release dates for magazines vary from 1st of June to like 13th of June. Hate the living, love the dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sannom Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Another german console magazine, Mgames, apparently trashed Dungeon Siege III in their new issue giving it the lowest score of the "big" games of the month. 74% It doesn't seem to be 'that' low given the other marks. Looks like it will be yet another OEI game with very varying reception, hehe. Not on the score level, but I would agree on the 'what are the good and bad points' level. Ambient sounds, beginning vs. ending, there are some points where they greatly differ. It's just speculation, but the next issue of these magazines will be full of E3 coverage. So the focus will be on Mass Effect 3 & Co. Considering that Square Enix has made a wise choice. I'm more curious why there are no reviews by magazines from other countries. Magazines from Australia and France definitely received a review version, but they didn't get a review out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
