Windows Dark Messiah: Might and Magic

Wow the demo is amazing, HDR + 4aa + 2af.... oh man it looks great and the physics are amazing.

Go get the demo.

Fast Torrent

 

It looked very good on the video I checked out. Almost like Oblivion but much faster paced combat.
Im I correct in thinking its source engine based?
Shame the demo is 1.4GB though :/

 

Its superb, not open like oblivion but the combat is actually fun and the physics interaction is great. Hope they do a bit more balancing before the final release tho as the most effective way of killing is to run around hurling crates and barrels at people. If this and oblivion ever had a love child it would be one of the greatest games ever.

 

> WILD9, I believe that the weapons are so innefficient now because you only gain 6 skill points to use during the DEMO. I believe in the game you'll get much more and with new power attacks and skill increases the weapons will become much more powerfull.

Another thing that seems worrying is the ability to kick lying opponent around non-stop (only stamina limited) So I'm worndering if this will remain in Multiplayer... Will we see the whole team playing soccer with one of the noobs?

Let me upload to google video to show you what I'm talking about.

 

So here's the kicking video I've talked about. I wonder how will this work in multiplayer.

 

It wasnt really a comment about weak weapons, more that hurling a crate at someone is an insta kill.

 

Don't you have to get someones health down quite a bit before they fall over?

Yep it's source based, so hopefully we might see this available on steam so we can get it cheaper than in the UK shops.

Demo is pretty cool, shows off the combat really well, I'd like to know wether it's also got a non-combat aspect similar to Oblivion or it's just a dungeon crawl. Just a dungeon crawler would be fine as the combat is done really well, but maybe a home town you can explore with shops and stuff (like in Dark Alliance and Neverwinter Nights), and when you go out the gate you select a dungeon to explore maybe, I dunno.

 

NO this is NOT like an oblivion in almost all aspects (except that it has Magic and Swords). This is more of an adventure/first person hmmm can't say shooter

The levels will be more Half-Life type. Go from point A to Point B encountering enemies, lots of fun and stuff. Just that RPG elements, upgrades, skills are encorporated.

 

I have happy to hear that it will be have more action. I just started playing Oblivion a couple of days ago for the first time (yeah yeah I know, blame the upgrade cycles ) and I like it. I would prefer the combat to be more fastpaced, and this game seems to deliver it. I will be waiting for it, along with that thing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. which never seems to come out
