Dungeon Siege II Busts Out Trailer

Posted by simoniker on from the sequal-itis-very-contagious dept.

Thanks to RPGDot for pointing out there's a trailer for Microsoft/Gas Powered Games' Dungeon Siege II available from the official DSII site, as well as via Gamers Hell, showcasing a lush cinematic-style teaser (using the in-game engine) for this PC RPG sequel, which is simply listed as "coming 2004". The original Dungeon Siege was largely well-received, but sparked some complaints about repetitiveness/linearity, so it'll be interesting to see how the sequel develops the gameplay.

  1. Original Dungeon Siege by kryptoknight · · Score: 5, Informative
    Dungeon Siege was a fun game... for about three days. I hope Gas Powered Games makes DS II funner.

    Some things I liked about the original Dungeon Siege:
    - No load time between levels!
    - the pack mule is very convenient for hording loot from the dungeons.
    - cool variety of weapons and spells like the goblin flamethrower or railgun.
    - the group/party feature

    Some things I didn't like:
    - repetitiveness of a hack and slash type game
    - not enough unique items
    - multiplayer online was laggy at times and wasn't fun
