Dungeon Siege III

I bought this game to play with my friend with co-op, which was a mistake. When we finally got co-op to work, we found out the progress is tied to the host player, which isn't a bad thing by itself, but coupled with both players being locked to the screen it becomes a nightmare. In this age of gaming, there is no reason for co-op games, especially online co-op games to force both players to stay within the same screen-space. It's very annoying. On top of that all the items for the 2nd players are stored in the host's inventory, so if you stop playing and you friend continues on, he could accidentally sell your epic loot you got and when you join back you won't have anything to use. The gameplay itself is very lackluster. It's slow paced and clunky. The story didn't leave any impact on me. The graphics felt generic. Nothing about this game stood out for me, other than the annoying co-op system. It may be a decent game for playing solo, but be warned. If you play co-op with your friend hosting, your progress is tied to your friend. So you will not be able to play solo unless you start new.

The game graphics are good, the history is stand alone, so you no need to play previous one to understand it. Game play is cool, and tho it has limited character creation is still worth playing, animations are well done, graphics decent.. soundtrack and voice acting is good. Lastly keep in mind that you can download a FREE DEMO at steam store page, so I would strongly recommend you to try that out before deciding to buy the game. Have Fun!

Graphics are decent and provide one with a sense of involvement, however the ui and a few game mechanics are broken almost to a console feel. Sounds and voices are passable, but the multi-player experience has turned this ended this series. Hyped only to fall flat miserably. If you played DS 1 and II then be warned that 3 is flawed in comparison. If you buy it grab is on sale.

This game is not like previous Dungeon Siege installments. It is passable, for sure, yet if you are a fan of DS series it may feel wrong for you. Game's story is interesting, thats a big pro for this game. There aren't many hack'n'slash with good story. Gameplay itself feels ok. You get two man team, some skills, lots of items to make your character tougher. I haven't tried playing coop so can't say about it, but when you play alone the game is quite fun. Major drawback can be the poor choice as to character classes. There are just three. Graphics aren't really great. Just fine. Music is as it should be, emotional enough. Same for sounds. Voice acting wasn't really for my liking. So, if you are a fan of Dungeon Siege series you might not like this one. If you're not, well, go ahead and try. It's a decent hack'n'slash

Long time fans of both Obsidian and Dungeon Hack & Loot-style games should have had something exciting to look forward to with Dungeon Siege III, but this sadly would not be the case. Dungeon Siege III is a passable attempt at giving a player a more story focused dungeon hack experience where you can fight monsters and loot gear to your heart's extent. However, saying that it gives a player (singular!) a passable dungeon hack experience, this does not go for a second player. Though the dungeon loot rpg subgenre really shines with cooperative multiplay, and this is also sadly where Dungeon Siege III embarassingly stumbles. Due to the increased focused on story, DSIII imposes weird restrictions on the multiplayer side of the game, making it actively unfun for any second player and rendering the game's promoted revival of cooperative play moot. Given the genre and the marketing push both promoting cooperative play, this failure to actually provide a good cooperative experience basically means that DSIII largely fails at one of its primary goals and never quite recovers from it.
