>and just in general had fun playing around with the physics system
>liked Xana and also was excited about freeing Demon Dad from prison to have a family
>couldn’t believe the game came out in 2005
>rated it as one of her favorite games
This proves that the game is a GOAT and not all of the negative things game journalists say about it.
can't play this on steam because it lacks achievements
you're a literal waste of space human being
go jump off a bridge nobody would care
achievements are literally microtransaction level cancer shit
What the hell? Who the fuck needs achievements? Things like speedrunning, ironman runs, no-hit runs and other challenge runs existed before achievements. You literally lack a soul, if you need achievements.
It‘s just fun seeing a game you love being played by a young mind, who experiences it for the first time. And there is no e-celeb board. I only watched her, because she is funny af on sodapoppin‘ stream. Actually more entertaining than him. I otherwise refuse to watch female e-celebs.
>And there is no e-celeb board
>>>/vt/
Get the fuck out
I don’t like vtubers though, so what should I do there?

Holy fucking cringe never admit to any of this ever again fucking weirdo
You want steam achievements because you lack any real life achievements.
Yeah it's brilliant. All anyone ever wanted was Skyrim to get this right and they just can't because Bethesda sucks ass.
Skyrim could never have gotten it so right because it's not a linear action game.
Dark Messiah is more Jedi Knight than Elder Scrolls, the only thing they have in common are the theming with swords and sorcery.
>Skyrim
>Non-linear
The vast majority of the action in Skyrim takes place in corridors.
And they still have to account for having free exploration which means you can't put as much effort and care into designing locations, let alone the encounters in them.
Dark Messiah is super focused. You don't have to account for leveled monsters, leveled loot, money, players approaching from different directions or anything like that. It's all about the encounters that are specifically designed to be as fun as possible.
Oh, and it's not an RPG. You get power ups at specific spots and through finding secrets.
>which means you can't put as much effort and care into designing locations, let alone the encounters in them.
Not like Bethesda did that anyway!
>it's not an RPG
It's barely an RPG, just like Skyrim.
>You get power ups at specific spots and through finding secrets
pic unrelated
I mean, if you call Dark Messiah an RPG then Jedi Knight is one too because it has the exact same system for powering your character up.
Roughly as much of an RPG as Skyrim is.
Something I hate about it is how bullet spongy the flying jellyfish are on hard
Whats with the DM threads lately, did some youtube homosexual make a video about it?
The year is 2023 AD. Lots of younger e-celebs are of age and have established themselves now well enough with an even younger audience that they turn to variety streaming and play old games before their time for streaming content.
Yeah Vei is fun and dumb
What the fook? She played it two weeks ago. How the fuck did you know I was actually talking about her?
Because I watched her play it for a bit too. And she was probably the only female who played the game in last 5 years who you could observe.
I also enjoyed watching her play Gothic 1&2.
Surely there are other female e-celebs who play it tho. No, I think you are following me.
women don't get exposed to good games unless their bf forces them to play them
Haha true
same here
I forbid you from ever playing this game! You are my slave! You have to follow my commands! Do not play the game. Ever.
What does aping mean?
Im a...i lived a lot
Support starcraft broodwar
Nah, she has a weird/dork voice and listens to good music
Streaming is just a fcking radio
Because you're both zoomer parasocial fuckjobs and it's obvious. Cut it out with the eceleb bullshit you have a whole board for that.
Fucking losers
Yeah talk about your streamer naggers you gay children
It's ok. Yeah, it's fun to kill guys in unique ways, but combat still feels janky at times. And there isn't anything remarkable about the rest of the game
>Actually play might and tragic (unlike 99% of the posters here)
>Combat boils down to 1 shotting via ice, 1 shotting via kick, 1 shotting via stab in heart or 1 shotting via weapon special
>You get a magic regen boost like 5 mins in which makes hp effectively infinite (so you can infinitely undo all the poison damage you get which has finite cures for some reason)
>Combat is literally never a threat or challenge, you just walk over everything as nothing stands a chance at all
>Later on your sword also becomes so strong it near instakills with basic slashes
>The only enemies you have to think at all for are sp- actually staff instakill move doesn't go into an animation v spiders, so every tick of it instantly kills all spiders on contact
>Story is boring as hell, yada yada yada, you're're're're're're the special one, woweth, only got a pass because of horny self-inserters
Its exactly the kind of game I'd expect to catch on with people who haven't actually played it and realized how basic it is
Every fight plays out the same from start to end thanks to how many of your tools make hp and enemy ai completely pointless
I sure hope you're not implying M&M games are difficult.
When the fuck did I mention the other games.
I'm talking about this one.
This particular game is a piss easy boring mess where you press at most 2 buttons to kill every single enemy
Thats just because you already know the game. Normies get filtered quickly because hits take a lot of health and blocking doesnt always work
Ah yes. I was waiting for you. The cynic.
Tell me. If Dark Messiah (you don‘t call it Might & Magic to not confuse it with the cRPG series or the strategy games) is so bad allegedly or does so many things just average, then why is it literally the only game of its kind, except it’s spiritual predecessor from the same gaming studio?
Tell me right now and it better be a good argument.
He‘s a retard. He didn’t mean the actual M&M games.
I played it more than enough to know almost everything about it.
Why though? If you are passionate about games, you should be also happy about other people playing your favorite game and enjoying it.
>Why is this bad game not something people are aping
>Logically they would ape it if it sucks
Based coomrotted moron
none of what you said is true. even if it was, it wouldn't matter. the game is fun because it has kino atmosphere, hot bitches with big tits, and campy humor. not to mention the biggest draw in terms of gameplay is exploration and uncovering secrets. only a gay nagger plays this and comes away with resentment over the fucking combat of all things, which is still some of the best first person sword and board gameplay you can get. Dark Messiah is basically a first person Zelda with tits, and it's awesome. you're a homosexual.
t. didn't play the game
Unironically if you don't think the fast mp regen, ice slide 1 shot and kicking all being so op they make enemies overly trivial aren't things
actually i've played it on both PC and 360 and all of your complaints are the result of being a no fun allowed homosexual with a tiny dick. nobody gives a fuck about "UH ACKSHUALLY CHUD THE MANA REGEN RATE RUINS THE GAMEPLAY BALANCE" or whatever you're moaning about. all that matters is the game being lighthearted fun.
I don't agree with many of these specific criticisms but I do think people oversell the shit out of DMoMM, especially when it's as a vehicle to criticise TES (for who knows what reason, considering they're not at all similar). Couldn't believe how anemic the combat was after reading people big it up so much for so long. The feedback on attacks is exactly the same as in TES too, barring enemies arbitrarily ragdolling when you kick them if they happen to be within a certain distance of spikes or a ledge. It's still decent, but easily the weakest game Raphael Colantonio's directed.
>she
stopped reading there
>This game is the greatest of all time because I watched someone else enjoy it
>she
>the e celeb I simp for said it was great so that proves it was great
wow I won't be giving this game a shot because it obviously attracts retards like you
Dark Messiah has:
>Better characters
>Better story
>Better melee combat
>Better ranged combat
>Better stealth system
>Better spell casting
>Better interactive environments
>Better traps
>Better secrets
>More interesting item design
>Better bosses
>Better enemy mechanics
>Better class system
>Better talent system/choices
>More engaging crafting
>Better platforming / movement
>Better level design
than Skyrim. Why the FUCK would I every want to do 100 absolute garbage tier quests when I can have a finely crafted one.
This just proves whoever you watched has dogshit taste, and so do you. Game is a 6/10 if I'm being generous.
How come no one has replicated it? Or not even attempted it?
Maybe you got filteted.
Objectively correct opinion, anon.
I hate open world goyslop. It‘s for plebians.
Open world games with crafting elements are the penny dreadfuls of video games. Any literate person with an aristocratic soul hated them.
>didn't sell
>didn't get good reviews
>the multiplayer didn't take off
>the game has no fans
>nobody fucking cares
>"How come no one has replicated it?"
Yeah, who wouldn't want to replicate THAT level of success, amirite? lmoa
The Odysee or Bronze Age Mindset also aren‘t bestsellers. I don’t give a fuck about the average person, who has a peasant soul. Of course the best games aren’t games with mass appeal. We now know after a couple of decades that the most popular games are open world zogslop with crafting elements. Something people play to disperse their mind. Not actually intense experiences.
played the game, had fun, but it's soooo fuckingggg SHOOORT
You know what.
I tried to beat this twice, but got filtered both times (first was because hardcore is broken, second was at the dragon part). But I think it's time to give it another go.
