Dungeon Siege 3 = highly underrated, Diablo 3 = highly overrated

Dungeon Siege 3 fails on the most important thing: co-op multiplayer.

I thought Dungeon Siege 3 was a failure? Lots of reviews said it wasn't as good as part 1 or 2?FelipeInside

This thread makes sense.. Comparing a full game that has been out for awhile.. To one in which people can only play a very limited beta ormore akin to a demo.. sSubZerOo

Laughable. Aside from the writing, Obsidian really dropped the ball on this one. Something as simple as having tight controls on the PC was totally abandoned. It's a bad game, and I'm an Obsidian fan. :/Elann2008

That statement doesn't validate your opinion.

Wow dude, you should open a temple of wisdom and understandind with that one

Dungeon siege3's kept me for about 2 hours, and I thought that's the worst graphic and combat PC has to offer, and then I tried Diablo 3.... I have to say you are right TC.

I wish people start to realize that Beta does not equal demo

I don't know. I played dungeon siege 3 and it's not that great. Granted I thought it was a decent game but Diablo 3 is way better. Just what I've seen from the beta is great so far. My only complaint would be the lack of customization as far as skills/abilities go but given that it's only a very limited part of the game I don't think(or I hope it won't) be much of a problem in the actual game.

True, but does a game really change from Beta to final?

That much?

I'm asking cause I've only been like in 2 Betas all my life.

Dungeon Siege 3 is a joke....

Oh well..

I am just saying that it is kind of ridic that people are claiming that this game sucks, when it is such a small portion that they are playing. And it is a BETA at that. The point of a Beta is to test and fix bugs that are found during a close as possible environment to its final release. The point of a demo is to promote selling and of course it will be as polished as possible.

It doesn't matter to me if people like it or not. Hell, people might be right and maybe it will be a bad game. BUT judging that it is a bad game / boring game from this extremely limited open beta is crazy talk.

Dungeon Siege 3 plays very well with a controller. I wish people would treat as an action RPG like Jade Empire, because that's what it is, not a Diablo clone.

I bought Dungeon Siege on sale a month or two back and it's a mediocre game. While I'm not all that impressed by the Diablo 3 Demo / Beta It is (in my opinion of course) a lot better than Dungeon Siege 3.

I just watched a friend play the Diablo 3 Beta. Now I am one of the biggest Diablo fans there is, and will be buying the game Day 1, but the graphics seemed a bit.....hard to explain...SMOOTH? As in they should be a bit more crisp? Does anyone else notice this? I'm not saying it looks bad, just that the first gameplay videos I saw they looked crisper, and on my friend's PC they looked smoothed out, or washed out....???FelipeInside

The washed out, could be his monitor settings, the other could be he didn't have all the graphical settings turned up.. IDK.

Nvidia has AO which makes it pop more. Does he use AMD/ati?

I also hear that there might be an ultra setting in the graphics options, on final release.

Guess we will all see in less than a month.

Dungeon Seige 3 vs Diablo 3 beta intro with capped XP and skills.

That's what you should make clear.

Even though I may be in the minority that loved Dungeon Siege 3. This thread is retarded.

Overall the story and playercharacters were good and well done in DS3. But the game itself sometimes felt like a grind and some of the combat was just not fun. Still it did have few interesting parts, that made going through the game worth. Personally Id say Alpha Protocol was better done then DS3, but thats just my opinion. As to Diablo 3, to early to tell and Ill make my judgmentafter expansion comes out, because you know there will be a expansion.

So you can only judge the $60 vanilla game after its $40 expansion comes out in a year or two? Wait, what?

DS3 is a game on rail, everything is linear, even the loots, they just put a few dialogue choices to make you think it was a rpg. masterdrat

That's not entirely true. The environments are mostly linear, but the loot is definitely heavily randomised (besides the unique legendary items), and the dialogue choices actually have consequences throughout the story, changing how things play out.
It's more of an RPG than your typical Action-RPG (of which the Diablo series is the best example).

Anyway, DS3 wasn't terrible. I beat it again on co-op the other day and...well...there may have been some horrendous design decisions (removing camera controls from co-op mode being the prime offender), but it's still playable.

Comparing it to Diablo 3? I wouldn't know, haven't played D3, but I know I didn't think that Diablo 2 was the second coming. I played it for a few weeks, got bored, and dropped it. It was definitely a more polished experience than DS2, but...ehh?
