[quote name='ianoid']You must be my peeps. Those games are my favorites. I just ordered Sacred 2 from gogamer for $50 5 minutes ago.
The metacritic score is over 70 (75 right now), which I think is a pretty strong showing for a game that does nothing new, and doesn't even try to be the best. It's a hack n' slash grind, and it's what I've been waiting for. I hope. I hope it meets some success as well.
I am friends with one of the guys on the dev team (in Germany), and I heard they are working on bug fix updates. I don't really know what will make release or not (if anything), but it's nice to hear that even though the company is in bankruptcy proceedings, that they are trying to support the game.
It's too bad they don't have a demo. It could rope in a few players who are uncertain about the title.[/QUOTE]
I think you'll find that you'll be pleasantly surprised. I played Diablo extensively and Champions of Norrath a lot as well, and I find that this fits somewhere in between those two. The best way I can describe it is an impressive blend of the two with a very engaging, sophisticated, and enjoyable skill system.
