Anticipated "sequel" that slaps you in the face.
Eventually, diablo & diablo II lost their touch and I was started wishing for diablo III. But then, out of the blue, came dungeon siege!
Not really as good as diablo but still an addictive and, for the time being, good looking action rpg. A few years later diablo III had not yet even been heard of but there again was a new dungeon siege, this time more intense game play and a rather ok storyline.
As soon as I heard about Space siege I got that exciting tingling in my body and my fingers ached for another action rpg.
So finally it was released. And I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. installed it. warmed up a thermos of coffee & closed my window blinds.
Eagerly I started playing it having my hopes up through the roof. Thirty minutes later I let out one word. wtf!?
rpg? RPG? How dare they call this a rpg. Its as much rpg as that ****ty star wars game that came along with attack of the clones. There are no levelups, no looting items and only two ways to tech. (leaving you with replay value 0,00).
And man is it linear. I've played the single player campaign now for about six hours straight and while I have to admit it hasn't bored me completely, I will say that the quests and story line have got very little to contribute to this game.
Overall I guess its a decent action arpg(almost-rpg).
But what is the thing that we all love and treasure about the diabloseries? The multiplayer!
Starting a character in multplayer in Space siege you got no customization what so ever and you don't even get to play the singeplayer campaign coop. you start att lvl "20" with all the equipment you can get (though not upgraded weapons) and 40 skillpoints to spend.
Why even have multiplayer if theres even less to play coop in than in singeplayer?
How come a dungeon siege turned out so differently then the other games? Well, maybe we should blame/ask SEGA.
