But graphic aren't the primary things that make a game suck.Many of diablos features were introduced...like the saving system which make the repetetive and the fact that you can play with a single profile at a time sucks...also the new item randomizing makes the game realy suck(ex:in act 1 the blacksmith quest you are offered a very powerfull item or sword,i don't remember exactly, and when i get to aman'lu in act 2 i get a fucking lame light crossbow).I remember diablo being fun but this game sucks bigtime.
Aside from a few movies that look like the ingame engine compared to the diablo ones(a game that has appeard a few years ago) and the storyline which doesn't offer anything and makes you think that at least the first game didn't pretend to have a interesting and imersive storyline the game is very dissapointing practicaly leveling down everything good that the first part had to offer and making it a BIG DISSAPOINTEMENT.
I understand that tastes are diferent from one person to another but this game is a "downgrade".



Did you pay for it? - I don't think so!

Did anybody force you to dl the game? - I don't think so!

Did anybody force you to play? - I don't think so!


So please do us all a big favor - stfu and go back to diablo

Everyone is allowed to express his opinion here and it doesn't matter if he bought the game or not. I hate people who think you're not allowed to complain about a game because you got it free. If this is his opinion about this game he has the full right to express it and you shouldn't be rude or insulting only because you disagree with him. Rolling Eyes

This game may or may not be as good as Diablo - almost anything by Blizzard is a classic - but in its own way it is very good. Minor short-comings like poor path-finding, party AI & an abrupt ending but as a whole it is very enjoyable. I hope Blizzard get off WoW & make Starcraft II, Diablo III or Warcraft IV <that's a lot of Roman Numerals> Smile

inch or minutes? Very Happy

i love when people dont tell what scale they use =)


I d give it 6.5/10 for gfx and sound, as its basically the old engine
7/10 for gameplay as its repetitve, but still has a good balance between going straight thru and doing every available side-quest possible
6/10 for story as its not really good, some parts even stupid, but still good enough for such a game
3/10 for movies. I came to expect either much better or at least rendered in the game-engine, but as it is now, its pretty fucked up

The funny thing is though, that all objective ratings aside, i m totally addicted to it and i love every second of playing it Very Happy So my combined rating would be an 11/10 really

I get big fps frame drop from having 3 fully grown pets with me. Don't have a fire elemental yet, but other pets give similar haze effects which do drop the fps quite a bit for me.

LOL Everything that has publicity is considered GOTY material,look around. Do you think that the fact that you experience huge frame drops and the game has some major tehnical issues makes the game great?I personally don't think so.I played it on a Geforce 5800 with 768 of RAM and after playing a while it has some major slowdowns...well in the end it difers from system to system.

I'm not a Diablo fanathic.I personally like RPGs that have a more complex storyline like BG2,Planescape Torment & CO. My primary pain in the ass is that they made another huge hype about this game and in the end it turned out(at least for me and another bunch of RPG fans) to be wayyyyy below expectations.
Like I said it depends on taste.
I usually try the game free before I buy it(I consider that a smart move ->don't you) and who'se gonna stop me from doing that...you Samiel:).
But enough talk if you like it then play...personally...I think it's crap.

I saw a new v2.1 trainer +5 by Pizza from this site:

http://www.gamewinners.com/DOSWIN/bldungeonsiege2.htm

So, I started a new game under v2.1. All is fine, until I get to the part where you break open the cage and free the prisoner. Then you're supposed to take the piece of wood from the broken cage and burn the hut down. Well, I can't pick up the cage wood to burn down the hut! I don't know if it's the trainer, the v2.1 no-cd, or me skipping dialogs that's causing the problem.

Also, I can't seem to select a higher difficultly level after beating the game on mercenary with v2.0 no-cd. Sad

Make sure Item Labels "L" is ON - otherwise you cannot see the wood which has to be manually picked up (!)

There is no possible way you actually read any of the "huge hype" about this game if you had expectations of it being a serious RPG. DS1 was a really lame Diablo II clone, so expecting the sequel to be anything more than DS1 with most of the stuff that made it (and even more so, the expansion) suck fixed is pretty silly. In that regard, they succeeded, because it's a much better game than the original.

But is it GOTY material? I sure hope not, because that will mean the second half of 2005's releases suck just as much as the vast majority of the first half's.

And other than one crash as a cutscene was starting up, I haven't seen any technical issues at all, even on a mediocre system with all the graphics options turned on.

Well I like this game for a few reasons:

a) The rare item drops are cool.... such a nice break from Guild Wars.

b) I have a 1.2ghz amd athlon, 384mb ram and a 128 GeforceFX 5200... and the game runs pretty well(and not on low low grafix) Smile

Yes the game has shortcomings...many of them.... for instance it annoys me how when you do mirror mode your guys seems to clump up around you.... or how I cant get my allies to auto switch spells... overall a decent game.

Are you telling me that Microsoft released a patch, to fix problems, and didn't tell us that if installed, saved games would be gone. Is there any way to get saved game back?

So vet mode is actually worth it? I started playing but the haku areas are just too painful to have to play through a second time. Plus I really hate my current party.

But if the drops actually change and you see new mobs, it'd be worth it.

Jeez, some right faggots in here. Wouldn't it be better to talk about dungeon siege rather then the size of your dicks you pathetic bastards.

As it is, i'm enjoying the game, but I haven't spent that much time on it yet because i'm playing a few other things.

W00T!

I've fixed the game from being too easy!

Read about it here: h--p://garage.gaspowered.com/?q=node/1065

Or download it: http://home.cogeco.ca/~dkozak1/diffhack.zip

It's a ds2res file to put in your resouces folder that adds a Difficuly menu option right after you choose Merc/Vet/Elite. I'm still working on adding the difficulty option in the game options. Here's a screen of that....




i can has computar?!

I don't actually think you can kill the guy.You can only damage him enough so that he drops the items you need.

Basically it goes a little something like this;

Quote:
Hi folks,

GPG is aware of several hacked versions of DS2 being available. Please be aware that savegame incompatibilities between the legitimate retail version and the hacked versions will cause savegames to become invalidated as certain compatibility checkpoints are passed, and as we update the game. Any issues encountered with these hacked versions will be unpatchable and unresolvable with any savegames the hacked versions create.

We won't be able to help with any problem on a system with a hacked EXE. Nor will any of our patches work with a hacked EXE. And since the hacked EXEs don't create compatible saves, you won't be able to switch back to the normal EXE to patch, and then load in the hacked savegames. If you are using a cracked EXE, your savegames are already unrecoverable. Please stop now and restart with a legitimate installed version of the game.

GPG wishes to support legitimate bugs encountered to the best of our ability. If you know you are using a cracked version, the information you provide will not be useful in our investigations, as you have a myriad of bugs all your own to contend with.


Essentially any save games you have during the use of the 2.0 cracked exe will not work with 2.1 cracked or not. It hasnt made me go n buy the game, infact its made me stop and uninstall it because i cant be bothered to go through all of it again....
