Anyone picking this up?
Interested, but some of the reviews don't make it sound like too hot of a port.
It should be out, a guy on my list is playing it
Support Console versions of PC games!
I had that happen one time with a copy of Fifa 09. It worked when I tried to install for like the fifth time, though.

The PC version is very playable and all that, it just has a terrible interface and isn't really all that different than the first Sacred. And it as terrible art. Play as the robot thing. And terrible VA.
Do you even like these type of games Lyte? Shut up and play...

How's the game better on the 360?
comfy couch, bitch
Can you change the difficulty? I have like 25k, level 10, have yet to die, one arrow kills most enemies...Yes you can...I dunno how but I read it somewhere. You can change it to Silver. Everyone who is getting the game now make sure to start on Silver not Bronze
I'm a little concerned about the screen tearing I saw on the gameplay video of the PS3 version I'm watching. I hate it when games don't use vsync :-\Yes there is tearing...it's not Uncharted-level tearing but it's there. It's really not an issue unless you're one of those elite OCD-ridden graphics whores that whines over a frame drop or two. It's fine, trust me.
This game is stupid easy. I have over 100 health potions in my inventory, none of which I've purchased, and I 1 or 2 hit everything. I am also playing on the hardest difficulty available to me.
Still really, really fun.
BEST GAME EVER CONFIRMED
I just did a quest where I had to help the lead singer of Blind Guardian recover the band's instruments from an undead army. And my reward was a CG Blind Guardian concert where they performed for orcs and werewolves, and I get to keep their weapons, which happen to function as extremely bad ass weapons.
wow, the pc version is LIGHT YEARS better and it's a 6/10 game at best
what ARE all you filthy console poors smoking, this interface makes dark spire look downright accomplished
20-30 fps, no vsync, shit textures
console poors are degraded
ah well, at least i got a jasper out of it

Nooooo I wanted this to be good :gloomy
Remember, Prole's coming off the PC version of this game. It probably won't bother you as much. I posted how ugly the game is and how janky the frame rate is on day one, and on places like GAF, I had people disagreeing and saying it looked "absolutely gorgeous." This is LOL-worthy. If you don't mind the frame rate, I say give it a try, Mox. It's a decent game for what it is, and the world is HUGE.
I wish Snowblind would make a Champions game on PS3. :'(
The console controls are confirmed superior to the PC controls. Having 12 face buttons mappable allowing instant one-button CA casting destroys the PC version with the keyboard + mouse click CA controls. That one improvement alone makes the console version superior because you use the CA literally all the time.
This isn't a theory or my "opinion", it's a fact. I've read about it on the official Sacred 2 forums and GAF thread as well, and they all pretty much agree.
Anyway, my only legitimate complaint about this game is the difficulty level. As someone said earlier, it's just too easy, even on Silver. Bronze must feel like you're playing a game on the Wii because I'm cutting through all the enemies on Silver with great ease.
I wish Gold difficulty was unlocked right off the bat but you have to finish the Silver main quests before unlocking it. And then there's Platinum where you have to complete Gold before unlocking and then finally Nobium...same thing.
With that said, this game is all about the loot and exploring the massive world. One thing I'm surprised about is that I haven't got bored of doing these completely inane quests...I figured I'd get bored with them being meaningless side quests but I just keep doing them like a machine. I find them addictive with the rewards you get and stuff... they're also fairly quick to travel to. It's not like in Far Cry 2 where you gotta trek for miles to get to the next side quest... it only takes a minute thanks to the portals, boats, etc.
So yeah, if not for the difficulty, this would be a 10/10. As it is, I give it a 9/10. The thing is, I'm not sure how I feel about having to complete Silver to unlock Gold because it kinda makes me want to just rush through the main quests and unlock Gold then Platinum then Niobium, but I was hoping for an epic first-time play-through instead of rushing through it like that.
There's also level requirements for the difficulties which I'm a bit confused about. 60 to unlock Gold, 100 to unlock Platinum, 140 to unlock Niobium.
Do you like the game, muckhole?

Not liking this game is on the same par as not liking ice cream or donuts. Fats and sugars are delicious. Likewise, lootwh0re lootfests with flaming weapons and tigers and hellhounds and METAL BANDS who give you GUITAR WEAPONS are delicious.
This a bad B-movie of a game. It's like, "Oh hey welcome to sacred 2 heres a sword you don't like it okay here's a cape and a sword thats on fire are you bored? sorry heres a cave with a flaming green axe okay hey did you know you can bring people back from the dead you can oh guess what you can summon undead spectres to fight for you have you seen the skill tree? want a tiger to ride? we can get you a tiger hey look pirates kill the pirates fuck yeeeeeaahh"
The N64 graphics and janky 2fps are part of the charm. It reminds me of that 3D Gauntlet game, just free-roam and with an obscene skill tree to hang yourself on on. It RULES.
So I got up to level 9 last night, and I'm starting to see some better drops. I'm getting to the point where I don't have to constantly monitor my health when I'm fighting more than one enemy at a time, which is nice.
Also, last night I actually looked at the overworld map. Much larger than I expected. Very cool.
Finally, after doing a bit of searching, it seems that a patch is in the works, though I don't know if it will fix any of the screen tearing, draw-in or performance issues. Apparently some folks have just flat-out lost their saves, so it may be to address this. Fingers crossed.
better be a patch, the undead legion quest is bugged to hell and back. if you enter the cave in the old naval harbor near thylyklysyslstsyssium with the quest flagged, OMG FALL DOWN INTO BLACK ABYSS

:lol Where do I do that? I have barely touched any of the sub-menus or shops, outside of equipping my character with gear. I suppose reading the manual couldn't hurt, either. On both occasions that I've played, I've just started up and gone exploring, with little thought of my spells/skill trees etc.

Anyway, you can do it when you add those skill categories like "blach blah lore" and "blah blah focus"
