I've not liked games developed by Obsidian for a while now, save for New Vegas. I don't think this is going to change that view.

Usually if Giantbomb manage to get a quicklook EX the developer that's done the quicklook will usually release a demo.

 

Here's to hoping they do. *Raises fake silly glass*

$10 to the first guy who does the uhh/uhm count.  The over/under is 2,987.  There is action on this at Bally's on the Vegas strip.

HOLY FUCK NUTS! What is with all the QL being 40-60+ min now? I love it, but is this something they are doing on purpose, or is it just a great accident?


EDIT: Boo on them for showing console version.

The camera angle on this game is reminding me of a 3D Gauntlet game.

This is not a good thing.

Well way to skip past all the dialogue and story and shit that people who buy Obsidian games actually care about!

Of course I'm only like twenty minutes in, maybe they show that stuff off later.

It's an Obsidian game. I respect them. But I have to ask. Is there jank? I don't seem to see any jank. This is not the Obsidian I know and tolerate.

@classicdms: This was our (their) in-house engine. I'm really hoping it works out for them. The tech dates back three or four years now (was supposed to be the Aliens RPG engine), so it should be pretty stable. 

Honestly, a lot of the "Obsidian ships buggy games" stuff comes from them having to work with engines that they didn't design and barely got any support for. I'm super curious to see what they do with Onyx in the future.

Looks very interrsting. I really want this to be good but I haven't decided yet. I enjoyed the first one and a better developed story by Obsidian could be quite good for the series.

Counted 265 "Uuhm", but it was probably more like 300. Too tired to count them all.

I've played a fair amount of the first and second game with friends, but did not love them, so had low expectations for this one. Consider me interested again.

I feel like that camera either needs to be way further back or behind the back with no couch co-op.

@Rorie: I only ask because I need to know ahead of time in order to prepare myself. I still loved Fallout New Vegas more than Fallout 3, even though that game was buggy as all hell. And Alpha Protocol was interesting conceptually, but played rough as hell if you were expecting a shooter. I've never played a Dungeon Siege game, so I'm wondering if it feels rough at all or really does play as smooth as it seemed to in the QL.

The fact that the other Dungeon Siege games weren't like that at all boggles me
It's like they didn't read about the complaints of Torchlight and its want for multiplayer.
Remember in the ps2 days you had games like Baulders gate and Champions?
What about Diablo, Titan Quest,dungeon siege 1,2,untold legends,d&d heros?
Why would you go backwards? What they are doing for co op is fine for local but very wrong for multiplayer.
This could have filled the gap for the wait of Torchlight 2 and Diablo 3. Now I just don't know.    Why Obsidian why?!
