Sacred 3 - Release Date Announced
- Thread starter Couchpotato
- Start date
Well I have to say I'm not excited on the new direction of the series, and don't trust the new developer to deliver. I have a bad feeling as they say.
Hopefully time proves me wrong.

Frankly, I've always found the Sacred games to be clunky and kinda wasted opportunities that didn't quite work.
So, for me, the worst that can happen is that it's more of the same.

Liked the first Sacred, didn't care for the sequel. Not very keen on this to be honest.
Selfishness as well, I suppose ?
D:OS has co-op because Lars wanted to be able to play with his girlfriend (which is probably why the two main characters can romance each others too).

All for one, but not one for all 
I thought sacred 1 was enjoyable game.. not a groundbreaking, genre changing, but it was entertaining in it's own way. a bit too many respawning monsters though. I haven't played sacred 2, so i can't comment it.

Super Duper Super Sweet
I personally liked both of them, though part 1 seemed to have less issues later on. Part 2 with the expansion and fully up to date was a fun experience. A huge world with tons of customization.
You wont like them Joxer as both have a high rate of re-spawns. I know you hate RPGs were this happens from your various thread replies.
From the sound of the press release it will be a button smasher, and I also read an older preview that it was made for consoles in mind not the PC.

It has a few obvious influences, but more than anything else, Sacred 3 is like Warhammer: 40,000. On one side of things, you have deadly serious heroes with a strong sense of culture who are devoted to doing what's right. The Safiri, for instance, harness the sun to power their warrior merchants. Meanwhile, the oppressed Ancarians are a group of guerilla troops who use nasty tactics to keep themselves safe. Sacred 3's enemies, however, are ridiculous, goofy green-skins with a hunger for violence and armor made from slapped-together garbage.
It's a fun mix that works well with the familiar but improved-upon action-RPG gameplay, and it proves new series developer Keen Games — new to the Sacred series — has a great understanding of what makes Sacred tick.
The one major difference in that respect is that PlayStation 3 is its lead platform — this is an RPG engineered to appeal to a console audience. This influence means Sacred 3's click-click-click combat — regardless of platform — is more action-oriented than automatic. It looks the part, too. The presentation gives players the traditional isometric camera, but the moment-to-moment flow of a fight has plenty of satisfying violence. Enemies obey the laws of physics in believable ways. They go flying when bashed, recoil in pain when hurt, and interact with each other when, say, you throw one into another.

I love the Sacred series. But won't be buying this one. as far as why I didn't recommend them to you? As Couch pointed out, they have a very high respawn rate, and I don't own a bulletproof vest.
I liked the Sacred series but when will developers get the fact that gamers want to see gameplay and not stupid trailers.
I uploaded some screenshots in the games gallery from Deep Silver, but yes I agree with you. It probably has do with marketing, or some other dumb reason.
