Sacred 2 anyone?

Is this title on anyone's radar? If you like hack/slash loot fests, it may be right up your alley. I just did up my review for my other gig (the site for parents to see if the game is OK for their kids) and then I wrote a more complete impression on my blog. ANyone up for some co-op looting? I have both PC and xbox if you're up for it.

Re: Sacred 2 anyone?

I've had mine paid off at work for a few months now....just installed it on my 360 and about to give it a try. I have been waiting for some good Diablo-ish action on my 360 since launch.

This game has some of the most varied reviews in a while.

IGN gave it a 6.5, 1UP gave it an A-, Game-Rev took middle ground with a B.

I enjoyed it - on the "official review scale" where I wrote it up for I gave a 4/5 stars. A great time diversion.

Yeah, I've done the bulk of my playing solo - and it's a grind, but a fun one if you like these types of games.

Re: Sacred 2 anyone?

I loved Baldurs Gate on Original xbox, and diablo 2 on PC. Does this game sound like a match for me? I also like Marvel Alliance 2.

Re: Sacred 2 anyone?

Was either the PC or 360 version better than the other? Controls wise?

Nope - depends on your controller of preference. I prefer 360 myself.

Re: Sacred 2 anyone?

There really needs to be a demo of this. This was a buy for me until all the reviews came out. Now it looks like all the "real players" are saying its way better than the reviews say.

It got a 7 on Gamespot, that's usually a sign of "Not top rate but definitely playable and fun, especially for genre fans." (similar to their 7.5 for Ratchet and Clank Future).

Has a 75% overall, pretty solid (for fans of the genre.)

Re: Sacred 2 anyone?

I've had this game for a few days and I love it. There is so much depth to how the characters grow and the items they use.

Re: Sacred 2 anyone?

I got this game on Sunday and am still trying to learn all the controls, magic and everything. What do I need to build up to get my magic to regenerate faster?

I'm a Dryad and have 5 in concentration and 2 in one of her special magic skills. Can't remember whats its called, its the top one.

Since she is best with ranged attacks I put all my lvl points into dexterity; is this a good idea?

How does this game compare to Fable 2?

Re: Sacred 2 anyone?

My friend kept wanting to compare the 2 and say that fable 2 is much better. They are apples and oranges as far as gameplay goes imo though. I haven't played fable though so take that with a grain of salt.

I'm trying to find a game similiar to Fable 2 and all of the other recommendations I've tried really are "apples and oranges" like you say.

I do have Fable 1, but I just finished 2 not too long ago and wanted to wait a while.
