Ill be buying it this weekend Ash, i played the demo and loved it. What a great D&D Hack N Slasher, love it.

[Ashenor]

Played it some tonight, very fun sobfar. I am amazed a good hack and slash co op game has not came out. I so loved the champion of north and baulders gate hack and slashes on ps2.

So on the fence on wether to get dungeon siege 3 on 360 or pc.

I was definitely interested but am very wary after reading Joystiq's Review of the game.

I'll still be giving the Demo a shot, but this portion of the review is what scared me the most:

"Between these special abilities and basic attacks, combat actually manages to be enjoyable for Daggerdale's first and largest chapter. Around the halfway point, however, the game loses its well-tuned pacing. Even if your character's leveled prodigiously and suited with the finest armaments that the game's deep loot catalog has to offer, most enemy encounters after the midpoint -- especially boss fights -- start to feel like wars of attrition.

Daggerdale starts out as a competent hack-and-slasher, and ends as an unmitigated disaster. That kind of downward-sloping quality curve is usually indicative of rushed development -- as are bugs, which Daggerdale has in spades. Characters, players and enemies frequently walk through pieces of the environment. Entire groups of enemies sometimes disappear from the screen mid-fight. Occasionally, after dying, loading a new chapter or joining a multiplayer game, your character will have all of his equipment and abilities removed and un-mapped.

The most unforgivable bug is one which only occurs during Daggerdale's online multiplayer mode, which once sounded so promising. Sadly, that promise is tough to realize when non-host players are occasionally kicked to a loading screen while the game goes on around their paralyzed hero. More often than not, this snafu crops up during large scale fights, almost ensuring your character will be dead as doornails once the game catches up to you.

I'm really glad to hear you guys are enjoying it, as it is restoring my faith somewhat in the game. If I enjoy the demo I'll probably still wait for a patch to be released before diving in.

It's been my experience that all hack-n-slash games have an large amount of glitches compared to other games. Getting stuck in places where it looks like you can go has happened to me in several of them. ;D

I just watched the trailer and it looks pretty fun, though. I really enjoyed D&D Heroes so if this is at all similar I think I will be fine.

I got this for free by snatching a code off of Facebook. It's definitely a budget game, but damn, I've had fun playing it. A friend and I did some co-op the other night and it reminded me of how much I miss playing these types of games.

[Setharion]

So do you guys feel this game was a nice little success?

[NeoFoxTrot]

I dunno. To me? Yes. There are plenty of legit criticisms, though. In the end, these games are hard to rate because part of the enjoyment comes from playing with your friends. And yelling at them over the mic when they go off to loot a chest and leave you to die...

I picked this one up, and it's not bad. I prefer Dungeon Siege 3 for the same kind of action though.

[Phoenix S117]

I'm still interested and I'm glad to hear that people are enjoying it.

I did buy it but I actually didn't mean to. I played the demo and was exiting out with no intention of buying. Not because I didn't like it but just because I didn't want to spend 1200 points on it. Somehow I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing and accidentally bought it.
