MikeyScoots Posted June 1, 2006 Dark Messiah of Might and Magic will stomp your so called "Oblivion's" ratings to the ground. http://www.mightandmagic.com/us/darkmessiah/teaser/ Watch the gameplay video to see why 0 Share this post Link to post
exp(x) Posted June 1, 2006 Yes, graphics are everything! Doom sucks because the graphics are terrible. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted June 1, 2006 oh no a new game I cannot like an older unrelated one anymore 0 Share this post Link to post
zark Posted June 1, 2006 Pfft, Oblivion is more of an open-ended RPG. Dark Messiah looks like a fantasy action FPS. Edit: Also lol source engine 0 Share this post Link to post
Manc Posted June 1, 2006 Rather unimpressive. It's a first person hack-and-slash with nothing overly exciting except for some of the weapon animations. How is this supposed to put Oblivion into... oblivion...? If you click the link in the first post then choose Media from the menu, check out gabe newell's face. It's hilariously fat. 0 Share this post Link to post

Enjay Posted June 1, 2006 Nothing desperately new, exciting or innovative there. Doesn't look bad, but I see nothing to justify the enthusuasm of the first post in this thread. 0 Share this post Link to post
MikeyScoots Posted June 1, 2006 Its supposed to reinvent the Might and Magic series after the crappyness of 9 and when NWC went bankrupt. 0 Share this post Link to post
Amaster Posted June 1, 2006 The FAQ listed on the forum indicates that this is a first person shooter in a fantasy setting. It's almost entirely unrelated to Oblivion. I cant even imagine why you'd be comparing the two. The game looks pretty. But, well, what else is there to say? 0 Share this post Link to post
SyntherAugustus Posted June 1, 2006 Oh yay another source game. Yeah if it's just a linear game then it's nothing like oblivion. edit: meanwhile oblivion is still high on the charts (with rise of legends on 2nd!) http://www.gamespot.com/news/6152116.html 0 Share this post Link to post
caco_killer Posted June 2, 2006 That looks like a really cool first-person shooter. I'd buy it. 0 Share this post Link to post

Quast Posted June 2, 2006 Lame. What does this have to do with oblivion again? 0 Share this post Link to post
Doom_Dude Posted June 3, 2006 I don't see Dark messiah stomping Oblivion although it might be worth playing. It looks more like a cross between Arx Fatalis and HeXen II. Two Worlds looks more Oblivion clone-ish... 0 Share this post Link to post
MikeyScoots Posted June 3, 2006 For those who claim this isnt like Oblivion, you have to know that Might and Magic has always been a non-linear game. Might and Magic 6 which got the best ratings had 100-150 hours of gameplay as you could do whatever you wanted until you were built up in levels and ready to take on the main storyline. Dark Messiah is taking on a new step with the combat which is sorta like Oblivion but doesnt include party members like the games did in the past. Edit: Oh and Heroes V relates to MM in many ways. King Nicolai-He was a prince in 6 and became king around the end of 6 once you beat it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Saunderitos Posted June 4, 2006 oblivion looks crap anyway. loads of people compare things that aren't alike. Say techno music and heavy metal music. you compare to find differences so I don't know why people are like 'omgz this is liek n0thing li3k oblivi0n' Supreme Commander is gonna be the best game out darlings :P 0 Share this post Link to post

What does that matter when the videos give the impression that it's little more than half-life 2 with swords and goblins and neato weapon animations? Christ, one of the e3 videos was 8 minutes of some dork going on about the environment and how great it is and how you should look around. Which meant finding conviently placed ropes to cut in order to drop logs and shit on monsters. I remember seeing that exact crap in the half-life 2 preview videos. 0 Share this post Link to post

It looked pretty gaybar. They had the gravity gun in (in the form of a telekinesis spell or something) and they ripped off the Duke3D freezer and shrinker weapons. You even use the mighty boot to shatter them when they are frozen :/. Also the way he killed that ogre looking thing in the second part was stupid, he basically lured it in front of something, cut this rope and sent a log swinging out which the ogre was too retarded to even think about avoiding. Great AI. 0 Share this post Link to post
