Forums - Microsoft - Something Sacred this way comes?

I was perusing the release lists for the month when a particular game caught my eye. The often delayed Sacred 2 is being released on the twelfth of this month. I was mildly interested with the game last year, and I decided to give it another look over, and was pleasantly surprised to see that the game will support four players online. I have not found any reviews for the game yet, but I am hopeful that it might be a good game. Especially since the last few games I have played have neither given me the open world I crave or the online experience I have felt was lacking.

So I was curious if anyone here was seriously looking at this game, or more importantly was looking at this game as an online experience. I am honestly not too keen on the camera angles provided, but the online aspect would probably make up for that. Granted that the game reviews well. Am I mistaken in this being the first role playing game on the console that lets you play with more then one person. Just testing the waters to see if anyone else here was interested in playing this with fellow members online.

Well it's not your standard RPG, it's more like dungeon crawl, hack and slash, loot drop game like Diablo (or the recent Titan Quest). Game was really buggy on PC until they patched it several times. I didn't pick up PC version because of that, my days of constantly patching and downloading driver just to play a game are just about done. I pick up DoWII on PC (it's RTS with loot drops essentially) and the I have to reboot my computer everytime I play. After the second patch now the game won't even run on my computer ...

So I was holding out for Sacred 2 on console, there were some report from German review site that 360 version has very poor frame rate. I am not really expect much consider the company that make the game file for bankruptcy. If they can't get their game to run well on PC, I have little or low expectation for it to run well on console.

That said, I love this type of games so if it decent enough I can live with some bug and frame drop and will definitely pick this up.



Ι loved Sacred Plus and I'm looking forward to playing Sacred 2.



Review is up on IGN. Doesn't bode well for the game....might end up getting it for PC because that at least got patch several times, but my recent experience with Dawn of War II on PC making me think twice also. (I still can't get DoW2 to run after patch and several driver upgrade/degrade)

Anyway here's the link to the review

I don´t think anyone was going to post something like that.

 

OT:Never heard of that game before.



As a former Diablo and Diablo 2 player, this one has been in my sights for a while. Picking it up on release day...



Stop getting so excited about a Kid Icarus remake... the original NES Icarus sucked.

 

Is Ray Bradbury still alive?

If so, I hope that he punches you in the face for ripping off the name of one of his best novels.
