Why did Dungeon Siege 2 get no love?
« on: August 06, 2006, 02:23:59 PM »
I know the first Dungeon Siege was a load of goat bollocks, but the sequel was really fuckin' good. The recent expansion, Broken World, is pretty good too -- there's some really challenging tactical battles and bosses. It's anything but a potion-drinking simulator these days -- you really gotta micro your party well and come correct to the big fights.

Outside of the dated graphics, why the hate (or lack of love)? It has better loot tables than Titan Quest, for sure, and the expansion adds some awesome dual-class talent trees.

I really do think it's the graphics along with the first game's rep.  I think DS2 edges out Titan Quest in my own personal ranking, though.

It really does look like it could've been done in 2002.  You know that jizzworthy graphics are always net a game a few extra points.

Ray Liotta, Matthew Lillard, Johm Rhys-Davis, Ron Perlman, Burt Reynolds, Leelee Sobieski, Kristanna "Licked Nipples" Loken. . . it has the greatest cast ever assembled!

I avoided it simply because of the first one. I don't care about the graphics that much.

I completely ignored this because of the first one. It was a fun Diablo clone, but my fucking god the swarms and dungeons just do not fucking end. I got tired of it after a day.
