Yes I agree with everyone as well. The only thing DSIII has in common with the earlier games is the brand name and a bit of lore borrowed from the series. The story is even quite poor and doesn't make much sense.

DSIII was made primarily as a console game to try to get Square-Enix a foothold in the Western culture, something they don't understand very well being Japanese, which is why they sub-contracted it out to Obsidian. They should have set it in one of their propriety brands like for instance, the Last Remnant universe. Instead they choose to purchase a well known brand to put clothes on their misbegotten spawn.

As a console game it's okay I suppose, I never had the inclination to get very far in it. That's not because I don't like console games or don't play them because I do and some of my favourite games of all are console games - the Grandia series, Star Ocean, Golden Sun and even Final Fantasy VIII, X and XII. So I'm not anti-Square_Enix or anything. I've even finished Final Fantasy III on the ipad!

I don't expect there'll be any more Dungeon Siege branded games from Square-Enix after this attempt.
