DS2 Demo

[CB]

Seems to be cool demo season.

I picked up the Demo for Dungeon Seige 2 form gamershell.com

I'm not very far into it yet, but so far it at least doesn't have the same fundamental game-play flaws as the first one.

And it looks pretty sweet, even on my somewhat-old machine.

Is that the one where you got the big hand and smacked your minions around, and you could play first-person as any of them... even the chickens?

that's another game, i remember playing that, but forgot the name of it.

[Enverex]

That was Dungeon Keeper. I remember a mate of mine played it like all the way through highschool, heh.

man I still play Dungeon Keeper, install that thing every once in awhile. that was a fantastic game

Yea, Dungeon Keeper was awesome... Dungeon Keeper 2 was really ugly, and had less gameplay elements, so it sucked. I wish they would remake Dungeon Keeper again with modern graphics. I played that game to death...

Dungeon Seige was the Diablo-esk RPG that was released by Microsoft. Zanthian and I wer co-oping through it and having a blast until we noticed the flaw, which ruined the game... I'm sure you've heard me complain about it before:

You could NEVER equip any items that were more powerful than the base equipment for characters of that level. Because when you found magic stuff, the lvl req. was always set to exactly the same as whatever non-magical equipment that the added magic made it equivalent to. Ruined the whole game, cause you couldn't really look forward to finding cool items...

So far it looks like that is not an issue for DS2...

Also, now that I've played it a little further, I can tell you that the interface is slick and the plot has the chance of developing into something that is not totally stupid.

The only real issue with it so far is that the combat is still Diablo-esk. You can't just select a target and let your continue to character attack, you have to keep clicking or hold down the attack button on the monster in order to attack continuously.

I just finished the DS2 demo. It was pretty cool. I might have to pick it up when it comes out, this fall.

Yeah, I played it. I loved it, but I don't have enough room on my crappy laptop harddrive for the full game :(

[CB]

I was all set to wait until October to pick it up, but it's already on it's way.

Yea, so there went my whole weekend.

I'm through the first act. It is very cool.
