Is there something that the developers are missing as far as programming the network sections of the game? As someone who has hopes of getting into the industry within the next couple of years, this seems strange to me.
Honest Question: Does anyone know what part of these networked games seems to have the most trouble?

Where do they use the Blind Guardian songs, and which ones are in?
I'm very curious about this aspect of the game, and if it's a solid Norrath/Dark Alliance style game, then this kinda' thing could seal the deal.
...provided I'm still functioning in the next couple of days or weeks...

The game definitely feels like previous hack and slash consoles games, but a bit more refined (not to say that it's "finished" but it's deeper) than the previous.

"That being the case, Sacred 2: Fallen Angel, a series very much made in the Diablo mold, may just be a better game on consoles than it was on Windows-based platforms."
[cheatcc.com]
"I can hardly believe it. Sacred 2's interface almost universally works better on console than it does on PC. Maybe it's the extra development time, but everything from inventory management to potion usage and skill activation flows better on a gamepad."
[gameinformer.com]
"Holy cats, the console version is better?
Sacred 2 turns out to be a great couch game, largely because you can play co-op with a friend at your side. But the real surprise is that the folks at Ascaron managed to create a mostly great interface for the XB360 and PS3 controller, giving you faster and easier access to more combat abilities than you could use in the PC version."

And am i to understand this came out?

Only a couple of minor quibbles, first that the story is completely forgettable and felt like an after thought...but that has no real impact on the action. It's open world, so you are free to explore and do side quests for hours before even touching the main campaign quests, which is cool. It also has a ridiculously deep character development/skill system. While there aren't a lot of classes or powers, the ability to modify your character and those powers is a little overwhelming at first.

Ditto. I've been told that you can't trade items between players on local co-op, which sort of limits the game. If that's true, we're waiting until that bit is patched out.

Other than that, the local coop is great. :) Very little confusion on screen. Only part that sucks is inventory and character management. Only one person can do it at a time, and it basically pauses the game.

The only way to get around it is really clunky. One of the players has to go online and meet up with someone. They can trade the item to that player. Then you have to log off of that account, log onto the other account where the secondary character is saved (the one you want to have the item) and then meet the online player and have them trade it back to you.

Hopefully they get this patch done in the next few days so we can get to trading locally!

That said, I've really enjoyed the time I've spent in Sacred 2. The no trading in local coop has been a real downer, but news that a fix is coming makes it bearable...for now.

On another note, I must be among the internet's minority of users that hasn't had any issues with the drum set. Works perfect. My friend thought it wasn't working right, but quickly realized he was hitting the side of the drum pad, which only picked up his hits about half the time.

especially for the quieter songs...
still no one has mentioned that the general difficulty on the game has changed dramatically. i can play a ton of songs on expert and routinely get 4 stars plus on hard in a vast majority of the songs.
well, except for that Ted Nugent song, the beginnings is kinda tricky...
