Title: Sacred 3
Post by: Dark Nemesis on July 31, 2014, 06:30:23 PM
I've just got it and i can say, that it's not what i was exepcting, but still it's enjoyable. It's not anymore an action rpg, but an hack n slash. The graphics are very nice, the game play is very smooth, the upgrade system, with the lv up system, are nice and the music good. Has anyone else here tried it out, that has played the previous, share hiw opinion, about the game?

Also, the game was having a promo code for free DLC content, but when i tried to redeem it, it was saying that the code was either wrong or not available any more. Lol!!!! I contact the support service of Sony on my country and they told me that the code is ok and that hasn't been activated yet, but i can't activate it, so they told me to send them a picture with the bill of the game and 1 picture with the promo voucher code, to send it on the UK sony support offices.... :P

Its out? It still just says pre-order on Steam. Ive been lookin forward to it but the reviews so far are all bad. Ive got Risen 3 higher on my list of games to buy before I consider this but so far everyone says its nothin like the old games and none of it is good

In europe, it's out for the ps3 and yes, i was very disappointed with the game, because i was hoping to be something like the previous, but no loot, just straight ahead missions, no character equipment customization or stats improvements though lv up. You only gain new equipment through lv up and spending gold to unlock it or upgrade it. Although, not a bad game, my hopes went crashed........ :(

Here's TB's first impressions of it:
► WTF Is... - Sacred 3 ? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=To9mlwF95k4#ws)
Not quite favorable, to say the least.
Personally, considering I played the first one and rather enjoyed it back when I was a kid, I think I'll be skipping out on this one.

No DLC for the game. Yesterday, i went to the point, where you can play the DLC missions, but after 6 attempts to load the first mission, the playstation goes freeze, just before the stage starts. Seriously, wtf? A DLC, that you can't load to play? I really wonder, what kind of beta testers the company has, since the DLC is glitched and yet, they released it as working.

The amount of low or mediocre reviews this game got is outstanding, especially compared to the relatively good reviews the other games got.

GameInformer 7.5/10 (PC), GamesRadar 2/5 (PC), The Sixth Axis 5/10 (PS3), Eurogamer 5/10 (X360), PushSquare 6/10 (PS3).

Never played this series, but I'm prooooooobably gonna wait for this one to get ril cheap before ever trying it.

I've finished the game today and my final verdict is: 1)Gameplay is one of the strongest points of the game, the graphics are really good, the music it's ok, but the scenario is awful, the character development is mediocre, the game is very very short, you need only 2-3 days for finish it off, also replayability is ZERO!!!

Gameplay: 9/10
Graphics: 8/10
Music: 6/10
Story: 5/10
replayability: 1/10

Over all: 5.8/10

What didn't they like from 2? Those elements should've been brought back but maybe they didnt want to be labeled a Diablo clone. Sucks there isnt any replayability.
