Sacred III

A designer on the game apologizes to the fans

In a post on Sacred 3's Steam Community page, junior designer Sascha Wagentrotz apologized to "the die-hard sacred fans, that didn't get the game they wanted to have."

Without delving into specifics, Sascha assured that publisher Deep Silver didn't give the development team at Keen Games true freedom to decide on the game's direction. "I've read a lot of hate against my former employer keen games, that they destroyed the franchise (on purpose)," he said. "All I can say is, that you should not overestimate the power of a developer in a "work for hire" constellation with a big publisher."

So Freddie Mercury is lying and TotalBiscuit is telling it like it is. mmm

I guess Freddie was never really known for his manliness.

I posted that three weeks ago. The window for a witty response is closed.

I really don't see why they changed the format of this game so much. I can't speak for the PC version but i thought, Sacred 2 was a good template and had a lot of potential. The only thing that kept me from truly enjoying, Sacred 2, was a horrible menu interface, vague leveling/weapon system and clunky co-op. However, i related most of these issues to just being poorly ported to console so i didn't make that much of a fuss. Beneath all of that was a great game that i wanted to see realized in, Sacred 3 but after playing a few hours of the game it feels like a glorified xbox arcade title.

I don't play video games to appreciate fine art

You don't ever appreciate fine art.
