Hi everyone! This is my first time posting here but I'm a fan of DD for over a year now and played through it 2 times <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
Demo review:
Gameplay\RPG elements The basic gameplay has not changed too much since DD, that's a good thing <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> The targeting can be awkward at first but once you get used to it, it's no longer a problem. The speed of the combat seems fine to me. Can't say much about the RPG elements becuase it's too short in the demo.
Graphics 8/10 I think they have improved the graphics. Even tho it's a darker environment now it's much more colorful now, strange I know <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> The landscapes are highly detailed. I'm sure the spell effects will be great when we get to play with them. Being able to zoom in and choose higher resolutions is great. I do think the new charactor models have funny looking feet though <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />
Sound 7/10 The music is good, it's just what I had imagined for this game. All the sounds effects that you could hear in the demo are good. Now the voice acting is hit-and-miss I think. Most of the voices sound like they are coming from someone that is half-asleep. The modulation is sort of unnatural. Some of voices fit OK like the mad inmate with his "squishy bits". I thought the dialog is good overall and even funny at times! "May ants nest in your cod-piece" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
After playing I think if you even remotely enjoyed DD you would be crazy to pass up <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" />
