Dungeon Siege III

 (64 customer reviews)

Dungeon Siege 3 has been much awaited as it brings the Dungeon Siege element to the Consoles. While the game has under gone a drastic amount of changes is it enough for this game to stand on, or have the changes made done nothing but sink the ship? In short a bit of both! Dungeon Siege 3 simplifies the experience and gears the entire game for console users essentially putting the PC experience on the back burner. In doing so gone are the micro managing of your comrades, a basic inventory system with a very basic leveling system that does little to promote individual variety(you eventually unlock everything).

Still what we have here is a solid game that will not be a disappointment to the Hack & Slash RPG fans of ye olde day such as Diablo, Titan Quest, etc.

GAMEPLAY
What can I say.. it is a hack n' slash RPG. Be prepared to go through dungeons grinding away on mobs and collecting loot! Dungeon Siege 3 does not disappoint in this category. It brings lots of...Read more

This game is somewhat short and almost predictable. While the graphics are amazing, the game however falls short in many categories. Ill break it down below.

Solo - If you like to play solo, this game is NOT for you. Unless you play as Marcus, you are pretty much going to have a tough time in this game. The AI team mate does not...I repeat does Not hold aggro or act with very strong AI support. I played as Katrina, and found it extremely difficult to get through the campaign because she is range. The so called dodge/roll is like a double edged sword. You can avoid attacks completely but when you come out of the dodge, you can not pre-aim while rolling. So if your rolling away from the mob, when you try to fire...you will have to spend the extra 1 or 2 seconds to re-aim or you will just shoot in the opposite direction of the mob. I put this in this part because if your not tanking, you will be doing this since the AI party member can not attack first or get aggro. There is...Read more

This is a pretty good game in the under 20 price range (currently) if you like playing rpgs with action elements and don't want to be playing the same game for a 4 month stretch. It's typical hack and slash gameplay; there is one sword button and the rest are special moves. Some strategy is required for the bosses and mini-bosses; you will die if you go head long into the battle and just stand there pressing the button. As has been stated in reviews it's a bit like gauntlet legends except with more story and upgradeable weapons and armor (maybe dragon age light is an appropriate description). Certainly not a boring game and you'll end up playing for a couple hour clips.

It's fairly short as far as length even if you do all the side missions but for 10-15 bucks you should enjoy the game.
