<a href=http://www.ggmania.com/>GameGuru Mania</a> have their own <a href=http://www.ggmania.com/full.php3?show=5756>review</a> of Dungeon Siege 2 up. They give it <b>80%</b> and have the most concise summation of the game I've yet seen:<blockquote> Dungeon Siege II is the sequel to Dungeon Siege, a party-based action fantasy role-playing game which was released in 2002. The sequel is set in the land of Aranna, which was also the setting of the first game and its expansion pack, Legends of Aranna. However, the back story now take you back to some significant events that happened about a thousand years before the first Dungeon Siege....you'll once again have the opportunity to pick up a sword, staff, bow, or other weapon; gather a party around you; and hack and slash your way across a vast fantasy world!

If you did not enjoy Dungeon Siege, read no further -- you will not like this game! Still reading? Well, Dungeon Siege 2 is literally more of the same!</blockquote>I wish more reviews would get to the point like that.

I played the demo for Dungeon Siege, and I found it to be boring, mindless, hack and slash. But, some people like that. More power to them.

 

[caveyboy]

yeah..i agree with you....

What a load of shit.

I hated Dungeon Siege.

It's really stupid to say that it's "literally more of the same" considering the utter lack of automation in Dungeon Siege 2. So how is it "literally more of the same"? It vexes me when people use terms like 'literally' so fucking liberally.

It's like you're kind of hungry and you say, "I'm literally starving to death!" Yeah, good one you teenager.

 

[Necropennis]

Yeah, I don't get that either. I played DS1 for a couple of hours and uninstalled that crap, and yet I played DS2 for a week. I guess they say that just because the two games share some skill/stat development ideas and have a party based combat.

 

[TheGreatGodPan]

Yeah, hardly a day goes by when someone uses the word "literally" when they really meant to say "not fucking literally in the slightest fucking bit". And then when you point it out they say "Well, I didn't mean it really". Fucking numbskulls.

Dungeon Siege I` was better because you got a steady amount of party members throughout. Dungeon Siege II got crap immediately once I found out that through the first play through you cannot have more than four characters, thats just fucking moronic. Then to give you all four within the first 15-20% of the game. It's some sort of bullshit marketing ploy to get "re playability," finish the game, and we give you another 2 extra party members. Morons, I don't want to play the fucking thing all over again to have an extra two more party members, I want to get a steady increase of the same amount as I did in part one, until the end. Just to see how kick ass a group of about 6 - 8 guys would be.

Cry more. You can just mod the game and do that yourself.

 

[xemous]

I wasn't crying in the first place, and modding the game is fucking stupid.

 

[Drakron]

Modding ... the currenty way that developers get away when making fucking stupid mistakes.

Neverwinter Nights and Morrowind. Yes.

Anyways, I hated Sims 1 but like Sims 2, so that kind of thinking doesnt really work. GameGuru is a pretty shitty site, anyways.
