Sacred 2: What the fucking fuck is wrong with you?
In my recent spat to play through as many Couch co-op games as I can get my hands on, I came across this little doosey:
Never heard of it? Nah me neither. It seems to have gone completely under the radar. Hell I never heard of Sacred 1, but hey it was a PC only release, so why should we care?Anyways after scouring the internet for information regarding this title I found out a few things: it is essentially a Diablo clone, It has six "pre-rolled" classes And they are pretty funky actually:
First we have the Seraphim, Some kinna Demi-gods with Pigtails and Kiss make up.
Dryad: Cornrows and Areolaec Breats plate, She's apparently a long range fighter, using bows and blowguns, sexeh.
High Elf: Ugh elves are everywhere, even in this game, scantily clad as he may be I guess she's kinna the glas cannon caster class.
Inquisitor AKA Generic man in hood, looks caster-ish too.
Undead Warrior dude with a twist of Roman about him which is nice considering he's probably generic close combat.
Temple Guardian, Anubis style cybernetic organisms, Kudos for originality I say.
So as I was saying, the game is supposedly a Diablo clone, i.e. Action Adventure, hack 'n' slash, RPG but with 3D graphics. From the reviews around the internet it seems the game has received varying reviews from 5/10 to 9/10., But the general consensus is that if you liked the Diablo series (which I did) you'll love Sacred 2.Also in general reviews have been more positive for the 360 vs the PC, with high praise given to the controller mapping and HUD.As you can tell from this post I have not actually played it yet. and this is the bit that fucks me off the most I cant get it.Every fucker seems to be sold out of the standalone game. I can get the Special edition which comes with a doll of the Seraphim, but I really don't want it and in annoying state of affairs Amazon actually has the special edition for less than than the standalone version (not that they actually have it in stock though)And yes I have tried looking in shops, but the generic spotty overpayed gimp behind the counter just looks at you blankly as if you are insulting him personally with your presence asking for a game that is Instantly recognisable, elitist mainstream cunts. And no they didn't have any copies.
Watch this space, one day I'll get it and you can finally get the Thatguys opinion.
Until then, signing out,

Nah, I wouldn't bother dude. D2 used to (and still occasionally does) make me cum in my pants. Sacred 2 barely made me hard, for two reasons. Firstly it's so easy you can complete the whole game by just running around holding x. Even worse though is that there's no colour coding for the items, how the fuck am I supposed to get excited about awesome drops when they all look the same? Shit, now I wanna go loot stuff. I'm going to play Titan Quest 'til 4am...
ReplyDeleteseconded, even running around with a second player batting x aka baldurs gate was not fun, it is seriously lacking something, I think it was a story. You can zoom in on the hot arse though, albeit with a dodgy camera.
