Anyone plan on getting this? Got it on pre-order for my birthday. There's a steam demo available: steam://install/39230

I beat the demo and found it challenging and fun. The camera controls were OK but this is an obvious console port and the keyboard controls are a little wonky. I with everything could be picked up by simply walking over them like gold. The number controls are a little tricky and remapping of keys would be a nice ability. Graphically this game is very pretty. Not a whole lot on character development but the first two dungeon siege titles aren't known for that either. For a click and kill it's passable. Is it worth the $40-50 probably not. I'm still keeping the pre-order because I'm a tough person to shop for birthday gift wise. ;) If it wasn't for that I'd be pursuing a review copy from GamersGate or waiting for it to drop in price.

Played part of the demo also. Pretty fun, but I judging by my queue of games and lack of time, not something I'm going to buy for a while. Especially not with Guild Wars 2 down the line.

I anticipated the release for 360, but I was pretty dissapointed. I really didn't like the POV and I felt thrown into the game without really knowing what to do.

We all must be dreaming this life away

I got it for the 360 and it was much more suited for it than the PC.
I'm really enjoying it. I would like more RPG elements, but I've been enjoying the combat a lot, especially on Hardcore mode.
It would have been better to have players join in with "their" own characters from their own accounts, instead of take a role of a side character on your storyline, but it's nice to have offline co-op mode available and that was a big selling point for me picking it up.

I will be passing on this one. I only made it through part of the last one and it bored me to tears. Way too repetitive.

This one is a significantly different game from both 1 and 2.
