A mate was talking to me about both of us getting DS3 for some dungeon crawling shenanigans yesterday.
But I had read elsewhere about the slave type co-op and hence saw no real reason to crawl together.
Also there seem to be a fair amount of reviews giving it higher scores than this, but I have a feeling you may be on the money Jahanzeb.
Cheers for the review.
(DS3 co-op + ??? = No Profit!)

he is on the money, if you finished the co op in one sitting it wouldn't be so bad, but playing on that camera angle the slave has, would be akin to torture....the co op for this is horrible.
The game really should have been a budget title (even though we have had what an entire 4 or 5 of those this gen)

what about local (offline) co-op? is that still slave or is the loot/level ups etc all even? id be interested in this for local coop but if its the same system as you mention for online co-op then i might as well stay with fable

Good review as usual Jah! You sound off on a lot of stuff that other players have mentioned but critics have not. Good to see some honesty here unlike elsewhere.

Thanks for the honest and explanatory reasonings for your review Jahanzeb.
I had high hopes that Square Enix and Obsidian would once again ruin a promising game series they aquired from another company 'yet again'. And it seems that my hopes were not in vain.
I just hope that gamers stop rewarding Square Enix for delivering such trash by pre-ordering anything they release, and wait for the reviews 1st.
Thats the 1st step.
The better option would be to turn our backs on the company all together.
There are several companies that deserve our attention more so than SE.
Atlus, Bioware, Rocksteady, Rockstar to name a few.
When i think of Square Enix i think of Square and Squaresoft as the visionaries that created worlds and stories that inspired and entertained thier customers. They made games that they wanted to play and worked really hard to deliver a quality experience.
Square-Enix on the other hand are thier "rich kids" who were born into money and prestige and never had to work a day in thier life. They publish and design games that are shallow and infantile. (kinda reminds me of Paris Hilton)
They dont deserve the legacy that with the majority of thier releases gets tarnished(especially the RPG titles.)
Pleeeeaaasssseee everyone, dont be swayed by the pretty pictures in the advertising by Square Enix products. Let the great series from before remain great in our memories, and not the failures that SE spew out.
Ok Benza, let it rip

Wow Banefire.
Being new I consider you a second class citizen, but that post was awesome. Keep the fire coming!
EDIT: I realized I should have put considered instead of consider but oh well. The meanness of this post wasn't what I was going for.

It takes 100 posts for me to notice people. Otherwise I grow too attached and when they leave it makes me sad. I have been burn't too many times.
Nice use on my real name, classy.
EDIT: I have posted in the welcome thread to make up for my discretion.
Sincerely Jesse

I must be one of the only people that don't mind this game... It shouldn't hold the dungeon siege name though as it's clearly not like ds1 or 2. So I get why people are so pissy towards this but I still think it's an ok game... Oh well.

Chuckle, i dont know whether to be happy that you are impressed by my post, or offended that your ego seems a little too inflated ;p.
Anyway, i get why you would be so protective of the community on this site. Since posting my comments, its been kinda relieving being able to share my viewpoint with everyone.
I will continue to value your feedback and will try to earn my place here if you feel i need to earn it.

Aw man, only a 5 and half... I was so hoping this game would be good. Oh well another game I can skip, I was waiting for a review before picking this up and I trust your review Jahanzeb!
