					<description><![CDATA[Some new PS+ games to ring in the New Year]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/BatmanTelltale5.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-285928" src="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/BatmanTelltale5.jpg" alt="" width="619" height="349" srcset="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/BatmanTelltale5.jpg 619w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/BatmanTelltale5-300x169.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 619px) 100vw, 619px" /></a></p>
<p>While we all work off that glorious food coma from the holidays (not to mention the New Years hangover), PlayStation Plus is going to have you covered wth several great new titles to check out in January.</p>
<p>Don the cape and cowl as Batman in the first season of<em> Batman: The Telltale Series</em>, which sees the aging Telltale engine give one last hurrah before they switch things up in a surprisingly gripping story that challenges not only Batman’s abilities as he tracks a dangerous criminal, but also challenges the very core of who Batman is (<a href="https://gamingbolt.com/batman-the-telltale-series-season-one-review">Our review here</a>). Then rise above in <i>Deus Ex: Mankind Divided</i> and see Adam Jenson fight against the impossible control of the Illuminati (<a href="https://gamingbolt.com/deus-ex-mankind-divided-review">Review here</a>).</p>
<p>Both titles are available on the service as of January 2nd, giving you just enough time to recover from New Years festivities. Should you somehow still be spending significant time on the PlayStation 3 in 2018, they get access to <i>The Book of Unwritten Tales 2</i>, and get inflicted with <i>Sacred 3 </i>(<a href="https://gamingbolt.com/sacred-3-review">Review</a>). You three Vita owners can enjoy <i>Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness</i> and <i>Uncanny Valley. </i>VR owners can download <em>Starblood Arena</em> as well.</p>

<p>The Xbox Live Games With Gold titles for December have been <a href="http://majornelson.com/2015/11/24/xbox-live-games-with-gold-for-december-2015/">revealed</a> and they&#8217;re a pretty big step up from November. Keep in mind that with the New Xbox One Experience adding backwards compatibility for Xbox 360 titles, Xbox One players will now have access to a wider range of free games going forward.</p>
<p>Xbox One players get their hands on The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing, one of the better Diablo clones out there, throughout December. Meanwhile, Eidos Montreal&#8217;s meh reboot of Thief will be available from December 16th to January 15th 2016.</p>
<p>Xbox 360 gamers are in for a treat &#8211; along with Castlestorm (available until December 15th) and Sacred 3 (available from December 16th to December 31st), they&#8217;ll get their hands on Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising from December 16th to 31st.</p>
<p>And for Xbox One players, this means five free games for December. What are your thoughts on the Free Games With Gold offerings next month? Let us know in the comments.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Deep Silver, keeping zombie slaying fresh.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/die-06.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-192388" src="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/die-06.jpg" alt="Dead Island Epidemic" width="620" height="280" srcset="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/die-06.jpg 620w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/die-06-300x135.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" /></a></p>
<p>That crazy bunch of folks over at Deep Silver are going to be bringing down a storm of pure, unfettered awesome this year when they arrive at EGX, just you mark my words. Mark &#8217;em well.</p>
<p>Taking place at Londons Earls Court over the 25th, 26th, 27th and 28th of September, the UK&#8217;s biggest video game show will be graced with Dead Island 2, Escape Dead Island, Metro Redux, Sacred 3 andSherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments when Deep Silver take to the floor with playable Demo&#8217;s of all these games. No hand holding guided tours from PR reps here, so rejoice!</p>
<p>Personally I think the most notable attraction of this showing is Dead Island 2, and not just because of that sick trailer. The game will be playable a very long time ahead of its current 2015 release window, so attendees will be some of the lucky few who get to see the game and get their hands on it well before anyone else. Which, like I already said, is awesome. Come and see more Metro Redux in all it&#8217;s post apocalyptic glory, come and see Sherlock solve crimes like no other with his unrivalled mind. But most importantly, come and kill Zombies.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Nothing is sacred.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="float: left; color: #b00000; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 60px; line-height: 35px; padding-right: 6px;">W</span>hen beloved franchises hop developers, there is always a level of skepticism among the fan base. We’ve seen it time and again with characters leaving the nest and falling into obscurity. Crash Bandicoot meandered around to a few different homes, got a tattoo and eventually fell so out of favour that he hasn’t been seen since. Spyro the Dragon had several great Playstation collectathons, then he did a few way too serious origin stories with Frodo before being relegated to just another Skylander.</p>
<p>Guitar Hero. Metroid. Halo. Sonic. There are many examples of a torch being picked up or given to another to run with, only to have the torch abused and for the new handlers to be burned to various degrees. Deep Silver found this long abandoned torch and decided to use it to burn bridges, turning what was once a relatively diablo-esque action RPG into a shallow beat-em-up that really has no place in modern gaming.</p>
<p><a href="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Sacred3-3.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-205848" src="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Sacred3-3.jpg" alt="Sacred3-3" width="620" height="349" srcset="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Sacred3-3.jpg 620w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Sacred3-3-300x168.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" /></a></p>
<p><p class='review-highlite' >
        "many will simply roll their eyes at the stand in navigator mother voice, terrible attempts at villain dialog that only serve to strip them of any sense of dread, or the generic “action hero” quips that come from the players that never illicit a chuckle the first time, let alone the thirtieth.

"   
      </p></p>
<p>Admittedly, I have no backing in these older games. Unfortunately, that doesn’t ease anything over. Upon starting the game, you are presented with four classes to select from that couldn’t be more generic if they had tried. You can choose between the Tank, Archer, and two female classes, though outside of the blatant sex appeal, those two don&#8217;t stand out at all. Trying to select one is a futile exercise, really, and They all play more or less the same, with the exception of the Archer who thanks to his dependence on range is entirely unsuited to solo play.</p>
<p>The plot of Sacred 3 is…there? There is an overarching narrative that I’m sure has some ties to the older games, but it’s so poorly written that it all becomes white noise. There’s a guy who was killed, but his son is mad because the son wanted to kill the guy first or something. Now the son is after an almighty plot McGuffin for an unclear reason and warriors from all over gather to fight against his armies, though it’s never clear what the overall goal is. You’re taken through the fantasy mission tropes so reliably that one so inclined could create a rap remix, though again, why you’re in these places and doing these things is never specific.</p>
<p>The writing flits between incomprehensible fantasy rhetoric that takes itself completely seriously, cringe worthy, unfittingly more modern jokes, and completely straight faced, banal game dialog that wouldn’t be out of place in a Gears of War clone.</p>
<p>The lazy writing comes across throughout the game, and many will simply roll their eyes at the stand in navigator mother voice, or the terrible attempts at villain dialog that only serve to strip them of any sense of dread, or the generic “action hero” quips that come from the players that never illicit a chuckle the first time, let alone the thirtieth. The support “characters” (and I use that term loosely, they are more or less item equips that can unfortunately chime in) are probably the worst of it, always falling squarely into the realm of annoying caricature.</p>
<p><a href="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Sacred3-1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-205852" src="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Sacred3-1.jpg" alt="Sacred3-1" width="620" height="349" srcset="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Sacred3-1.jpg 620w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Sacred3-1-300x168.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" /></a></p>

        "While Diablo is an easy game to compare to, in reality it shares at most, a camera angle. It bills itself as a Hack and Slash title, but that isn’t really apt either.

"   
      </p></p>
<p>The voice actors, who themselves were probably pulled off the street and offered a sandwich for their work, must have not had much faith in the writing either because they range from sounding bored to being ear bleed inducing. Music is just like the plot; simply present. Completely forgettable once you turn the game off, but never nearly as obtrusive as the chatter that you will beg to be able to turn off.</p>
<p>The title is visually nothing special either. Empty, linear areas with very little to interact with still manage to only elicit textures that would have been good early in the Xbox 360 life cycle. Character models are flatly textured and rather jagged, not to mention that nothing ever moves without it being part of an animation, as if hair was gelled down with concrete. Enemies received even less attention, probably because you never see them nearly as close anyways. They stand as brown sticks or blobs of various sizes and little else.</p>
<p>The mindlessness of the writing even worms its way into the gameplay. While Diablo is an easy game to compare to, in reality it shares at most, a camera angle. It bills itself as a Hack and Slash title, but that isn’t really apt either. I said “Beat Em Up” at the beginning of the review, and a clear distinction should be made between what a Hack and Slash game is and what a Beat ‘Em Up game is. Neither is particularly sacred (see what I did there) to this title.</p>
<p><a href="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Sacred3-4.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-205849" src="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Sacred3-4.jpg" alt="Sacred3-4" width="620" height="349" srcset="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Sacred3-4.jpg 620w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Sacred3-4-300x168.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" /></a></p>

        "Though the setting may change, you can reliably count on bombarding ships, falling rocks, blocked paths, or any other manner of excuse for a “dodge the red circle” or “turn the wheel 6 times to open the path” gimmick in each stage.

"   
      </p></p>
<p>It lacks the spectacle one would come to a Hack and Slash such as Ninja Gaiden, Bayonetta or Devil May Cry to see, not to mention depth of combat. Neither does it manage the frantic co-op and silly fun of a Beat &#8216;Em Up, like Double Dragon, Castle Crashers or Scott Pilgrim. Rather it manages to sit somewhere in the middle, delivering neither a thrill ride or a goofy romp with friends. There is little interaction beyond pointing yourself towards something to die and clicking on it.</p>
<p>There is no loot to be found, no customization to the characters. Not even any obvious benefit to levelling up, beyond being allowed to purchase upgrades to your meagre few skills and having something to spend your vast amounts of gold on. In fact, only two “combat art” skills can be equipped despite none of them packing much punch. Other standard equipment includes a dodge roll and a shield breaking, not to mention game breaking, wave that you’ll charge to break shields and stun your numerous foes.</p>
<p>The only difficulty comes from how many foes are thrown at you, the metaphorical ants ruining the picnic. For the most part, they either keep the same simple attack throughout the game or simply stand around waiting for your blade. One could theoretically put a bit more flash into it by utilizing the tricky to execute enemy throwing or downed enemy executions, but there is little point when they fall just the same. Though the setting may change, you can reliably count on bombarding ships, falling rocks, blocked paths, or any other manner of excuse for a “dodge the red circle” or “turn the wheel 6 times to open the path” gimmick in each stage.</p>
<p><a href="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Sacred3-2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-205851" src="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Sacred3-2.jpg" alt="Sacred3-2" width="620" height="349" srcset="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Sacred3-2.jpg 620w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Sacred3-2-300x168.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" /></a></p>

        "You’ll almost constantly become stun locked by a barrage of abuse without anything you can do about it, making the boss fights an exercise in frustration to mirror the exercise in tedium that is the rest of the game.
"   
      </p></p>
<p>Boss fights are challenging, but in all the wrong ways. Pattern recognition and memorization means nothing when the big baddy can immediately pivot to where you rolled to, or just send out an arena wide wave of fire. It becomes about how much you can game the AI, or how many heath potions you’ve got left from the level. You’ll almost constantly become stun locked by a barrage of abuse with nothing you can do about it, making the boss fights an exercise in frustration to mirror the exercise in tedium that is the rest of the game.</p>
<p>Given how simple the gameplay is, it’s confounding that the controls themselves are janky, and it only compounds the problems with the rest of the game. You move using the usual PC method, obviously fixed to the eight cardinal directions. Mouse directs where you face though, which is just as obviously much more free and created a disconnect. Mapping combat arts to numerical keys and throws/executions to buttons surrounding the W,A,S,D setup is like asking you to take your thumb off the stick to use a shoulder button. They overall feel poorly thought out.</p>
<p>Rolling itself, your singular universal evasive option, is mapped to the space bar. That in and of itself is not the problem, my thumb naturally fell there. But how the directionality of the roll worked is where the issues cropped up. It follows where the mouse is pointed as opposed to what direction you might be moving. Recall how the mouse controls where you face and thus, who you attack. Rolling sends you where you’re facing instead of the direction you’re moving at the time, Sending you right back into the attack you were moving away from until you understand this weird rule.</p>
<p><a href="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Sacred3-5.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-205856" src="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Sacred3-5.jpg" alt="Sacred3-5" width="620" height="349" srcset="https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Sacred3-5.jpg 620w, https://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Sacred3-5-300x168.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" /></a></p>

        " Not only is there nothing of value to be found in Sacred 3, it can’t even run properly.
"   
      </p></p>
<p>Honestly, the game seems almost completely set up to use a controller, And I would love to talk about how it plays with one if the game wouldn’t reliably drop itself into an unending loading screen before the menu whenever there was one connected. This is assuming that it didn’t crash to begin with, or how a game that barely looks better than Halo 2 while running on high can send Windows 8.1 into a panic attack about running low on memory. Not only is there nothing of value to be found in Sacred 3, it can’t even run properly.</p>
<p>There is nothing precious to be found in Sacred 3. Gameplay is as mindless as is the AI itself, visuals are sub-par, and the writing is, giving it as much credit as I am willing to muster, simply terrible. When the game does seem to want to try challenge, it only manages frustration. Judging it as its own thing does it no favours, and it’s probably a bigger betrayal to people who actually followed the series. All wit aside, use fire to burn.</p>

<p>Sacred 3 released recently. It was an awful, awful game (stay tuned to GamingBolt for our official review, coming up shortly), and it has widely been met with criticism, which seems to focus, in particular, on the abrupt change in genre that the game has, which seems to be to a co-op dungeon crawler like Diablo or Path of Exile, against all sense or rationality.</p>
<p>However, speaking directly to the people who bought the game, via the game&#8217;s <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/app/247950/discussions/0/35219681839092913/" target="_blank">Steam community page</a>, <span style="color: #141415;">former Keen Games junior game designer Sascha Wagentrotz blamed the marketing department of Deep Silver for how the game turned out.</span></p>
<p style="color: #141415;">&#8220;The marketing department of Deep Silver was the only one with enough power to change the direction of the franchise,&#8221; he said, before going on to apologize, and posting a free key of the game as an apology (although, offering the broken game in question as an apology for the broken game he was apologizing for to begin with seems&#8230; really circular to me).</p>
<p style="color: #141415;">For more on Sacred 3, including our sharply worded upcoming review, stay tuned to GamingBolt.</p>

<p>Sacred 3, the latest in the entry of role playing games published by American publisher Deep Silver, is now out today; the newest installment is notable for changing its direction from the previous game a fair bit, as Sacred 3 is a co-op dungeon crawler, somewhat in the vein of Diablo. But while the gameplay may have changed, the game is still a Sacred game, and it comes with all the hallmarks of the series, including the goofy humor that it is known for.</p>
<p><span style="color: #222222;">For those of you who pre-ordered the game, Sacred 3 includes the Malakhim class as well as the additional Underworld Story DLC. In Underworld, players have to forge their way to the top of a mysterious tower where they have to confront the Black Seraphim, a notorious rival from Sacred 2.</span></p>
<p>Check out the Sacred 3 launch trailer above, and stay tuned for our continuing coverage of the title for more news.</p>

<p>Deep Silver&#8217;s Sacred 3 will be releasing on August 5th in North America but Europe will have already gotten its hands on the game by now. Developed by Keen Games, a launch trailer has been revealed which gives you a hint of what to expect in the game. Hint: Much hacking and much slashing is to be had.</p>
<p>Much in the vein of Diablo, Sacred 3 is an action RPG which will allow up to four players to co-operate together both online and offline. You&#8217;ll see some locations from the previous games like Castle Braverock but there is a new visual style, new classes and an overall different tone as you fight together with your friends to succeed but reap the rewards all by your lonesome. Or something like that.</p>
<p>Sacred 3 will be out on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3. Will you be playing the game when it&#8217;s available? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="float: left; color: #b00000; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 60px; line-height: 35px; padding-right: 6px;">S</span>acred 3 is a new hack and slash action game coming out on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC this August, and publisher Deep Silver has released a new CGI trailer to hype us up for the upcoming game.</p>
<p>This new trailer shows off the kind of co-operative mayhem and competition that is normally reserved for Nintendo fare like The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords or New Super Mario Bros. It<span style="color: #222222;"> shows off the competitive, co-op gameplay and the humor that fans of the Sacred franchise expect. Gamers will enjoy fighting back the hordes of the evil Emperor Zane while competing with friends to prove who is Ancaria’s greatest champion.</span></p>
<p>So yeah, the game looks pretty damn fun, especially if you&#8217;re a fan of the franchise, and it seems like it might provide players with some quality fare in a summer that has otherwise been unusually starved for quality content. Stay tuned to GamingBolt for more coverage of this, and other upcoming games.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[You know, because bigger is better.]]></description>

<p>A new trailer from Deep Silver for Keen Games&#8217; Sacred 3 was revealed. It tells us&#8230;well, something. It&#8217;s a cinematic trailer that&#8217;s also a bit cartoony. It&#8217;s not really bad but very uninformative.</p>
<p>Perhaps the trailer is meant to emphasize on playing together with friends and yet, standing out from the pack with your own performance. Sacred 3 supports four player co-op, even if real players aren&#8217;t present at a given time with AI controller party members accompanying you at all times. There are two new characters and various abilities to exploit this time around, though you&#8217;ll have a limit on how many abilities you can equip at any given time.</p>
<p>As of now, Sacred 3 is releasing on August 1st in Europe and August 5th in North America for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. Are you looking forward to it and why? Let us know your thoughts below in the comments and whether bigger really is better.</p>
