Holy hell batman, what happened?

Only played the first one, but I remember it being huge and tons of fun.

144 people made a vote, that's what happened. I don't trust user reviews if not at least 3000 people made a vote and even then they are pretty untrustworthy, same goes for paid critics though.

I mean, people like this person give a vote:

Thanks for had ruined this game... Congratulation for the fail. No loot? No customization? Where you had your head? Great work, Keen Games, great work..

Sacred 3 has nothing to do with the Sacred franchise other than the name. S3 also has no open world like 1 and 2 and no items dropping - it's more actiony like God Of War except with crappy animations and far from being that impressive. People are mostly pissed about that.

[hellhamster]

How do you play a supposedly open hack n slash RPG with no loot and no customization?

[Arrashi]

Reviews on steam are also "great". Shame that this game went that way, but alas, sometimes we need a grim reminder.

I think most people are pissed because it uses the name of Sacred... as a standalone game it's decent(although really bad voice acting and cheesy dialogue) but I have decent fun blasting through the maps in Co-Op... wouldn't pay more than 2$ for it though... would work well on android/ios...

Eh it wouldn't be bad for like $20 or so, but yeah most of the annoyance seems to be that the game really isn't what fans of Sacred were expecting.

What's wrong with that person's possiblity to vote, may I ask?

He's got it nailed down. Sacred 3 is not worth even 5 bucks of money for what it is delivering to players. No customization, no open world, no loot, no anything. Awful keyboard+mouse controls. Awful humour. Oh, and don't forget the 3 DLCs available at the release day. /facepalm

I just read a review. Are there really sections on the main map that are roped off as DLC?

Jesus Christ, that's right up there with the original Dragon Age having that annoying fucker in your camp pushing a DLC adventure. That was five years ago and I figured people would have learned from that glaring mistake...

Wasn't interested in the game in the first place, but I don't put any stock in metacritic numbers (especially user ones).

I have a hard time believing the game's *really* only worthy of a 1.5

may be not, but it earns it.. using the name plus day one dlc and its price. If this game was called "blablurb" it wouldn't get the hate. It would be just another mediocre game on the market but the sales would probably be way lower..

[Sunseeker]

Wait, they made a 3rd one?

And it doesn't have any of the features of the first two?

Well I couldn't see that failing from seven light years away.

I know there is people who hate Totalbiscuit but this video says it all.
Like he even points out in the video. There is nothing this game dose good or better then what is already out there and the price tag is a joke. Why play this shell of a ARPG when you got a free one like PoE or cheap ones like Torchlight II or even D3.

No, as a standalone is still a really bad hack n'slash rpg, has little customization, no looting, the combat mechanics are beyond bad (no dualstick-aiming with mouse for attacks) as it asks you to attack when looking with WASD, one of the classes is locked behind a preorder.

As a continuation of the sacred series it's an insult to them, not because of the cheesy dialogue (because we're used to it on sacred) but how bad the game is presented.

[Phookah]

All the sacred games were terrible, this is no surprise.

Why are people surprised? Sacred 2 was utter shite.

[Deleted]

I doubt anyone believed in Sacred 3 after Sacred 2 crap.
