Are you stoked for Sacred 2? I'm stoked for Sacred 2.

Honestly, I thought that Sacred was one of the only worth-a-damn Diablo clones back a long while ago, and just today I came across Sacred 2's release date, which is September 2008.


Which is less than a week until September is over. I just got into a much better mood.

Hot piss, it's out in a week? You sure your sources are valid?

 

[Archonsod]

07/11/2008 is the official release date according to the devs.

I assume that's the european version of dates, so November? I looked on gamespot this morning and it said September, but maybe Gamespot's proven to be a very terrible source of any information once again.


I'd like to add that I am playing an Inquisitor with all my roleplaying abilities when it comes out.

UK and Europe release for all formats. Koch have stated they may end up pushing the console release back in the US which may make for a slight delay, but it's unclear if this will affect the PC version.

I'm interested to see how this will turn out; multi-platform releases have ruined many promising sequels.

I'd have anticipated much for Sacred 2 if it was less digit-based and more skill-based. And I do not expect it to have engrossing storyline like that of KotOR either.

At least in Finland (guess its same in europe) it'll be out the 30th this month.

What do you base this claim on?

The fact that Finland is just that awesome.

I played the first sacred, but i thought it was kinda... based off of an older very similar game called Ice Wind Dale.

Icewind Dale is a Baldur's gate Knock-off, Sacred is a Diablo Knock-off.

Get it now?

An Eddings fan as well as a Sacred one. Fine taste, sir.

Yeah, I'm quite looking forward to it, I quite enjoyed Sacred 'til I got bored of it, Sacred 2 looks like it'll be able to hold my attention the whole way through.

Lets hope so then

 

[Worbah]

, Sacred 2 looks like it'll be able to hold my attention the whole way through.

Dunno about the sci-fi elements though. I'd preferred a more steampunk approach to that of the Temple Guardians and all that.

 

[Darian]

Those interested in trying the first Sacred can now play it for free on GameTap.

 

[Archonsod]

Can't say I was disappointed. Blasting through with a Temple Guardian at the minute; love the new NPC styles.

 

[Espresso]

I remember Sacred 1 as a game, where you basically just run and kill a lot until you get bored.

Is Sacred 2 mostly same stuff, just with better graphics and effects?


EDIT(after couple of days): I guess silence means "yes" I'll buy something else.

 

[Lost-Lamb]

Just got it meself and I must say I was pleasantly surprised, I like it far more than I ever did D2.

Oh, and Temple Guardians über alles <3

They're getting rid of the Christmas bonus stuff next patch, so if you haven't been to the Island now's a good time to go. Determined to get a Christmas set for my Temple guardian, but the island is bloody difficult. Admittedly, part of that is because I focused my main weapons on poison and life stealing, so I'm stuck using a weaker club for fire damage (even though it's a unique) combined with a burning embers/flamethrower/archimedes beam combo. Boss fights are still a bit tricky though.

Wonder if it'll be replaced with Easter content
