This or Dungeons 3?

[Space Cowboy]

I only ever played the first Dungeons and did enjoy it well enough. Just saw a review of Dungeons 4 and it seems fine but so does Dungeons 3. So, I wonder if I shouldn't just get the Dungeons 3 Complete edition and this one later a sale.

I'd say go for 3 first, since you will most likely be able to find the whole bundle at a discount, so more content.
4 also relies quite heavily on 3 and builds up on top of it, so getting straight into 4 might seem jarring when going for the campaign, if you care for that sort of things.

3 first the only problem is the new syncro at least in german dunno how it is in english i think 3 had the better story and 2 even better but 4 has better gameplay ;-)

D3 for the traps. You can indulge your passive aggressive evil by building a whole variety of disabling, discombobulating and deadly trap systems.

What was the comment about/for?
Discombobulating is the present participle of discombobulate.
it means to confuse, befuddle, bewilder.

So Dungeons 3 with all the DLC is a better game than Dungeons 4? I am about to grab one, just torn over the version after seeing this thread.

Pretty sure they were just talking about the meme with Sherlock Holmes and when he says discombobulate. That's where my brain immediately went when I read that post

I'd say start with dungeons 2, that's my fav by far and gone back to replay this far more than I have dungeons 3, Though all are very good and thoroughly replayable... and I'm glad to say that so far (minus the dynamite bug) all looks on track for 4's playability.

I'd go with D3 when it comes to bang for your buck especially with the DLCs. D2 I enjoyed quite a bit but had a lot of bad decisions that were never addressed (all traps constantly getting disabled by enemies, having to go into other dungeons from the overworld that you wouldn't allow you to use the recall spell from in case enemies got in (since traps were useless), broken recovery for Undead to wear they'd constantly be on break relaxing since it never improved with upgrades, etc.. D2 did have a clever evolve process for creatures I miss. D4 is very nice so far, but it will be easier to go up than back.

Three was a lot better then this. A lot.

Either, or both. If you get the DLCs, Dungeons 3 is a really meaty game that'll keep you occupied for a long time. Dungeons 4 is also good, but there's a lot less of it at the moment. For what its worth, the Dungeons 4 campaign also assumes you've played through the main Dungeons 3 campaign (with one minor nod to one of the DLC campaigns), but the stories in these games aren't meant to be taken seriously, so I don't think it'd ruin the experience if you didn't play the previous game.

Dungeons 4 also makes a lot of tweaks to the gameplay that I really liked (for the most part. I miss Isles of Evilness). I was worried that it'd be difficult to go back to 3 after playing through 4, but the transition actually ended up being pretty easy for me. So I think there's value in owning both games eventually. But getting started with 3 would probably be easier on your wallet.

Dungeons 4 is dumbed down version of D3. Play 3 first.
