Given almost every single D&D movie has been horrible it would be surprising if it wasn’t a well known studio like Larian doing it. It’s pretty common for games from existing “high profile” IP to be lazy, lackluster, money grabbing products.

The last D&D game I remember, Dark Alliance, is horrible.

The new D&D movie that just came out a few months ago was actually pretty fun, and it has a 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Yep, went with my D&D party and a good time was had by all.

Probably a high 7 or low 8 out of 10 for me.

I went in with zero expectations since nothing else was playing in my theater and I chuckled a good bit. Definitely fun and entertaining.

It's one of the most entertaining movies I've seen in years, I recommend it wholeheartedly.

I had fond memories of Dark Alliance. You maybe didn’t like it, and coming out for a console with no PC release was an odd choice for the series, but there was fun gameplay and story there. At least, 13 year old me playing co-op with my Dad through Dark Alliance 1 and 2 on my PS2 is a fond memory I have that maybe nobody else got.

Anyway, I was just surprised because I guess I never looked up a review of the Dark Alliance games but my general impression was actually pretty good.

edit: Apparently there is a Dark Alliance game with a naming collision that came out much more recently than the Dark Alliance series I'm thinking of. Smart move, Wizards of the Coast/DnD.

They may be referring to the version of Dark Alliance that was released a couple of years ago. It was pretty much a dud.

I had the same reaction as GP, thanks for the explanation! I don't think the original DA games hold up too well nowadays, but they were good at the time and still provide me with fond memories.

[starttoaster]

Ah, probably my mistake then. Wasn't even aware that Wizards of the Coast decided to make a brand new game with a name collision there.

2021 to be precise.
