/v/ - Video Games★

The first one was quite literally a screensaver game, still though it was neat and enjoyable, and I enjoyed fucking around with trainers/mods and gom spells in multiplayer.

The second one kind of had a problem with bloated numbers in my opinion, which made fights way too long and irritating to get into.

The third one though I never got to, but I heard it was fun coop.

They (DS1 and 2. DS3 was something entirely different) were rather mediocre. Not much in the manner of story, quests, mechanics or anything, just large levels full of trash mobs to slaughter. It wasn't bad and worked as what it was, but I never found myself to be particularly amazed by any of its aspects. Whenever I felt like mowing my way through hordes of enemies, I reached for Diablo, not for Dungeon Siege

Dungeon Siege 3 had a really nice aesthetic going. That's pretty much the only thing that made it stick out from the bazillion of Diablo clones out there.

>gender locked classes

geez i wonder

>>15678085 (OP)

The third game was a nice effort by Obsdian, that's it, and it was pretty damn different from the last two games, surprising that Squeenix allowed Gas Powered Games to do Supremo Commandero 2 and not the Dungeon Siege 3.

i want to bed the dryads from dungeon siege 2

>>15678167

well they allowed gpg to do 'something' but it wasnt what they wanted to do at all

I had fun with DS2 years ago as in about 10, should replay

>>15678147

Yeah, but I don't think many people play these type of games for their story and reactivity. Still, you're right, if you are into Diablo clones for more than their skinner box mechanics then it's well worth checking out.

>>15678172

Well, Squeenix got what they wanted a subpar game and GPG's slow death in irrelevancy.

>>15678189

why would they want such a thing?

>>15678189

Squeenix is way too prone to throw their western published games under the bus.

>>15678159

Like diablo/2?

>>15678197

They had some kind of deal with Chris Taylor to do Dungeon Siege 3 and Supreme Commander 2, the latter game with his studio before they were ignored into irrelevancy, the latter with Obsidian and him playing adviser, and both games were mediocre simplified games. It's like they just wanted to get rid of him.

>>15678204

They sold off Hitman while forcing the devs to go full Episodic retardation that damaged the series, while Womb Raider gets three fucking games with the same whiny Lara.\ And Deus Ex is on ice after they could stop their greed from putting microtransactions on the game, even though the story was utter dogshit.

Only "played" DS1 which I hesitate to call a "game".

>>15678227

Supreme Commander 2 was such a shitshow, was that due to publisher meddling or was it Chris Taylor?

>>15678265

>which I hesitate to call a "game".

elaborate

>>15678274

Dunno, but the vibe from that game with like some idiotic JRPG campaign with RTS-tacked in that was casualized to the extreme, read only that there were budget cuts and the cancelling of the expack because of the low sales and reception of the game, they just released some DLC pack instead and called it a day.

>>15678299

Very linear. No character development. No choice in anything or illusory choices that don't affect anything. Undeveloped combat and magic systems. Weapon choice almost forced - find better weapon, throw away old one.

>ds3

>good

they're shitty diablo clones with less flashiness and more repetition

Path of Exile always has been and always will be superior.

>chink owned diablo clone with nothing to do but farm maps forever

>better

uh huh

>>15678356

I've played through it once and got bored a quarter of a way through my second character. What's so good about PoE that people or A shill keep sucking it's tiny chink cock?

>always online

come on, I know they've fixed the desync issue, but it's still bullshit

Guess I'll check out the third one.

>>15678356

I'm pretty sure Grim Dawn is more enjoyable, has field of view that's much bigger than PoE's mole vision and doesn't have infinite grind. It's also an offline game with no chinks.

>>15678085 (OP)

Too much level scaling, values too bloated, too liniear, too much trying to be something it isn't - an action CRPG. I doubt it's something that's hard to do, but this one certainly failed to deliver.

Dem vidya titties tho.

Now this might sound retarded (to me it does already), but something about DS3 gameplay reminds me of Diablo 3. I should replay it. DS3 I mean.

>>15678356

> less flashiness

Nyeh, I don't know about that.

Can't say much about DS1 since it wasn't my cup of coffee back then and now I just don't want it, but DS2 still looks pretty damn flashy to me. And pet system Torchlight wishes to have.

And buying another stick of ram, beefing my rig to whooping 512 megs of RAM, made DS2 so fucking good.

Also, make an offline Path of Exile and I'll buy it day one, even for 60 buckaroos.

>Start thread with a false premise and zero evidence

>Make a retarded statement right after

Thanks for bringing us another riveting episode of "/v/ in 2018" Mark.

Me roommates and I got DS2 a few days early because Best Buy broke street date. Was good times playing through it co-op.

>>15678085 (OP)

Here's a video that gives a good review of Dungeon Siege, particularly the first game.

I enjoyed DS2. The expansion was a bit too much tryhard edgy grimdark shit. Deru was an adorable cabbagehead.
