What is your opinion on the shift from classic RPG gameplay to a 3D shooter in DMoM&M?

Extremely negative. I want sequels – parts 6 through 8.

The game is awesome! Hack-and-slash - run - distribute stats - hack-and-slash - hack-and-slash - run... It's exciting and enjoyable, and those guys who say it's garbage and has nothing to do with Might and Magic should go trim their beards :) Action rules!
So go ahead and play only shooters. There's plenty of action there (if you play on a powerful PC). If the game's title didn't include Might and Magic, and was just Dark Messiah, no one would have been expecting much. The creators simply used a well-known title for a game that has almost nothing to do with the entire Might and Magic series.
In my opinion, a game that you finish in 2 days isn't a game.

I'm telling you, old man, shave your beard! Where have you seen pure RPGs lately? They haven't existed for a long time, and no one needs them anymore! Life is action, and everything should be about action!
They don't exist because now the graphics are good, and beautiful screenshots are enough to attract players, but before, the graphics were weak, and people played for the sake of exploring an interesting story.
And there's no need to insult other forum members.

For example, Gothic 3 pleased me.
It pleased me too, it's some kind of progress compared to the second part.

Dark Messiah was great, but it was too short! I finished it in two days too! :(

Rating? - Awful! Horrible!
It has nothing to do with the Might and Magic world; the quests are timed (it seems like Ubisoft confused Might and Magic with Raymond 3), the maps are small, there's a minimal amount of magic, the plot is weak, and the ending cutscenes are just terrible; the differences are minimal.
The only thing that somewhat restrains the desire to shove this game deep down the developers' throats is the graphics and the physics of the game, but again, there's a BUT: owners of video cards without support for 3x shaders will see effects that only God understands.

P.S.: The game was completed in one Sunday...no comments.

First there was an RPG... then there was a strategy game... now it's become an action game. :D
I really liked it, I played it 3 times! :smile03:
P.S.: Gameplay is the most important thing, and the gameplay is great. ;)
Might and Magic has always been an RPG.
And regarding the connection to Might and Magic: Dark Messiah is designed to attract new fans. That's why it has active gameplay, graphics, and a simplified RPG system.

What a great game, I wish there were more like it. This is the best action RPG I've ever seen. Oblivion is better only in terms of the freedom of its plot, but the combat system... compared to Dark Messiah, it's just laughable. There, the plot is interesting, but you have to follow it. But that's the only drawback.

I really liked the game itself. But I'm disappointed that they added "Might and Magic" to the title, as it has nothing to do with the Might and Magic series. And that's a shame.

Why not? It does. It supports the concept of dragons. Of course, it's a shame that it's a slasher and not an RPG, but it's still fun to wander around Cyris Talle, Al-Safir, disturb the ashes of Sandro in Mythgard, visit Virbeth, the capital of the Clan of the Shadowed and the Clan of the Igg-Chail. P.S. Everything that could be squeezed out of the old concept about the Ancients has been squeezed out, even more, so there are some gaps (such as the campaigns for Armageddon's Blade and the light ending of Might and Magic 7). For the dragons! For Ashan!)

It would be good to add "IMHO" here. ;)

Respected Xel, why are you nitpicking words? If you have something to object to, please respond in writing. The universe with the Ancients is simply outdated; who would enjoy these adventures in Axeoth? Due to the failures with Heroes 4, it all became tiresome. We need a new story. Even NWC understood this, and that's why they abandoned Enroth. But because financial problems prevented them from developing the story, they decided to give up on it. As for Heroes 5, everything is imbued with atmosphere, the plot, and it's a continuation of the Dark Messiah story. This is not like some "Might and Magic" legends released by NWC, nor is it "Might and Magic 9." They lacked a story. Although in "Might and Magic 9," they tried something, but why do we need stories about Vikings? Perhaps the game would have been saved if it had been based on the story of Heroes 4; at least a handful of fans would have liked it, but as it is, it failed miserably, just like Heroes 4 itself. Then, Ubisoft liked the story of Ashan, and they understand what people want. If they wanted to squeeze more out of Enroth or Axeoth, they could have. And people probably wouldn't want to play something that's already become tiresome. We're tired of these Krigans and Ancients; how many times can we save the world from the Krigans? "Might and Magic 6," "Might and Magic 7," "Heroes 3: The Restoration of Erathia," "Heroes 3: Armageddon's Blade" – enough with these Krigans, I'm tired of it! I want to play in the Ashan universe, talk to Zephyr, see Isabel in her interesting condition; I want to punch Alaric in the face, talk to Arantir, go east to the Free Cities and see who's in charge now that Lord Menelag is gone, or go further east, or sneak into the dwarf dungeons, and also spend some time in the wonderful Igg-Chayl. I'm tired of these Ancients; let's have a universe with dragons!

I enjoyed the game. It's a very high-quality and well-designed action game, even though it borrows elements from RPGs. It has an incredible fantasy atmosphere, blended with modern technology, and is brutal and uncompromising. I haven't played Might and Magic, so the game only evoked positive emotions in me.

You should add IMHO to both of your posts.

Yes, Magnus is right. Heroes 5 is a great game, and I haven't gotten tired of it yet, but wouldn't anyone want to step away from commanding huge armies and a bunch of cities (well, everyone plays differently, of course) and see everything with their own eyes, and wander around the world alone? You'll immediately feel the atmosphere.
2XEL, I honestly don't understand what you're trying to prove. You're lowering morale, but at the same time, you're confirming what Magnus is saying, or am I just not understanding you?
