Dungeon Siege III launching May 31

the only thing im not to interested in is that your stuck with premade characters

Out of curiosity I checked the Wal-Mart website (which made me feel dirty for some reason) because the free Prima strategy guide seemed too good to be true. Which turned out to be the case. You actually only get 25% off the guide so can buy it for $15 instead of $20. Whoopty freakin doo.

Real_MacDeath: ...Why Sony didn't bring out a Champions of Norrath III on the PS3 still mystifies me and other of our ilk. ================================= I have been wondering the same since the launch of the PS3. I will not forgive Sony for giving us the utterly forgettable Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom instead of Champions of Norrath.

Come on Obsidian! You can make great games if your given the time! Make sure to to do some proper debugging!

Man i hope this game will be good.

lol obsidian. I expect at least 10 bugs with the usual hardware optimization problems and the usually 3 to 6 user-fixes to make the game playable. That is.. if I was getting it. Trick me once, trick be twice.. trick me thrice? No thanks.

Obsidian....this wont end well.

Please Obsidian learn from your past mistakes

I'll wait for Arcania 4, Witcher 2, Dark Souls and HUNTED instead. This looks more like Sacred which actually is not good.

Obsidian...? I'll just wait a bit. That developer (while good) is notorious for very buggy games.

Hot slut!

Looks good, but does anyone else get the feeling high fantasy RPGs/Arpgs are going the way of the ww2 fps? So many coming out there is no way I have the time or money for many of the good ones.

Hopefully, we can mix classes again or at least be able to use abilities from multiple classes.

@Barighm - I and a lot of other agree w/ you 100%. Champions got it right on many levels, I think there are enough people out there who would pay for a similar game, that more developers should look into dungeon crawlers which just scream online/offline co-op or multi-player!! Why Sony didn't bring out a Champions of Norrath III on the PS3 still mystifies me and other of our ilk.

I hear ya Shardz17. I think this year will be the year of the Action RPG. Its my favorite genre unfortunately most games are just not polished enough.. This year we have Diablo 3 which will clearly be the king of all ARPG's.. Guild Wars 2 looks amazing although.. we shall see. Dark Spore which I am kind of excited for. Dungeon Siege 3 which looks good. The next Bethesda game.. I mean amazing games. Well potentially. Oh yeah and Torch Light 2 which looks like a massive improvement over the first game.

games developed by obsidian are always awesome but it's not a day-one purchase since I always wait for them to fix the bugs and glitches.

Well I never got to play the second dungeon siege but playing the first game was enough to get me excited for this game.

Obsidian games are always great.

Let me just slide that in between Torchlight 2, Guild Wars 2, Skyrim, Diablo 3, and Heroes Vi. Don't these companies do marketing research anymore? One year absolutely nothing comes out, the next year a deluge of the same genre is released. *Shakes head*

@AzelKosMos but at least we should be able to play with our characters not some predetermine one like fable 2 MP -_-.

Would you people stop complaining about grinding..Holy hell batman..This is a action rpg, it has nothing but grinding as do most games..This bursts my bubble more than any thing..When people complain about grinding in games..Looks to be fun for me..It will hold my hack and slash goodness until torchlight 2 and diablo 3s release..Its a steller spring..Cant wait games games and more game goodness hell yaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

I have all the Dungeon Siege series, including some FM's that some players made and some Mods to make gameplay even more fun. I just hope the PC version will be decent as the others were and not just a port from the console versions!!! Please optimise it for PC's!

@Truelorl - I play a lot of games for the fun experience with friends, not just for XP grinding....

@AzelKosMos What? the co-op the worst part of the game, you can't even use your own character and you won't retain the xp. pffft.

The original two were more dungeon grinders. I don't know how this one will go. I am a little disappointed that I won't be able to pick this up because I have fond memories of the first two.

sweet sweet candy

Looking back then, i could afford myself the luxury of rushing through the game since i was so entertained by clearing baldur's gate over and over, but now? Every solid rpg will be an instant get for me, and the co-op just makes it all the more mandatory!

if it has on and offline co-op, decent customisable armour/weapon sets, then this could be great. I hope Obsidian give it time and don't rush it out part finished due to deadlines, i'm looking at you Alpha Protocol! (Although I do love that game).

Wonder how buggy this one will be

Is this the kind of game with moral decisions and in-depth story, or is it more like a dungeon grinder? I would play if it was like NWN2 or BG but probably not if it was like Torchlight.

@drokmore Try torchlight. Its a little closer to Diablo than Dungeonsiege.

Made by Obsidian? Thanks but no thanks, I'll pass.

This was by far the closest thing to diablo type gameplay, I enjoyed DS2, but it did not scale well at the higher levels. Hope this one will be better.

I'm excited for any game that has a chance to play like Champions of Norrath. Some have come close, or missed altogether, but this is gonna be a great year for these types of games.

I am pretty interested in this, especially for the co-op.

Stopped at "Obsidian-developed". I think i'll pass on this one, or at least wait until the reviews come in to find out just how glitchy it is.

Obsidian has burned me many times with buggy games and I for one an not confident that this will be different.

I was not going to buy it anyway, but the PC version later is becoming annoying. At least make a good PC versions for the delay.

Been waiting for this game to get a release date. Now I'm gonna have to wait for the actual release date...oh well. Game looks pretty good. Really enjoyed DS2 so this should be just as, if not better, than that....hopefully anyway.

So soon? I better get on with number 2... Which i've gotten recently.

Nice! Looking forward to this, should be a great segway to Diablo III in the fall.
