Sacred 2 - Worth a go?

bloodline76 · 14 Oct 2008 at 02:10

I was wondering if this game was worth considering as a diablo 3 replacement until it comes out.

I remember playing the first one briefly and something about it being online as well.

Anyone know much about this game and if its multiplayer online, and how that works?

Thanks

i enjoyed the first from a gameplay point of view, if this is more of the same but with neverwinter style graphics ill definitly be giving it a go.

im still playing the english demo and TBH its great. will be even better when my international copy arrives in the next few days (fingers crossed).

the online is apparently closed servers but thats all i know as its not in the demo.

i would honestly say try the demo http://www.fileplanet.com/192204/download/Sacred-2-Demo

Having completed the first Sacred and actually really enjoyed it, I was quite disappointed by Sacred 2. The gameplay just didn't feel right.

I thought that the demo was ok, spend a few hours getting the toon to lvl 10, which seemed to be the max lvl in the demo, not sure if i would buy it though, too many good games comming out this month.

I enjoyed the demo and I'm tempted to pick it up, it was a little fiddly (The UI is awful), but fun.

No, sadly.

It feels like its trying to be a MMO.

I keep getting disconnected from my self every so often. My screen will go black and drop me back to the character select screen. Its crazy, its like the game creates a virtual server and connects to its self.

The pathing of AI is appalling, the game play is boring and the UI is massively confusing.

There is no gentle introduction into the game, you just spawn and there you go.

The game was released on Friday and the forum has been quiet since then. Is that because everyone is too busy playing it or that no one is playing it

I played the demo which was very short, but I am interested to hear what the full game is like. The reviews are mostly favourable even though they are critical of all the bugs. I am thinking of ordering it some time this week if I can manage to drag myself away from Fallout 3 or should I wait for a few patches?.
