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

Well, if it’s going to be like part 9, then we’ll see.

Contact the topic moderator or admin via personal messages. I simply set the poll duration to about 4 months when I created the topic.

Hooray, the demo is finally here! I hope I can download it before my monthly traffic runs out.

Hmm...
I'll get it in the fall... But then: It doesn't support GeForce 4 MX...
I probably won't be able to afford a new computer in the fall...
But I really want to play this game... Even though it's not Might and Magic 10.
I hope it will run like Half-Life 2.

It doesn't run like Half-Life 2; it's much more demanding, even on the lowest settings. I can play Half-Life 2 almost on maximum settings, with only slight slowdowns. But in Dark Messiah, I have to play on the lowest settings, and it still lags quite a bit. It's a fairly demanding game. To play it properly, you need at least a 2.8 GHz processor, 1 GB of RAM, and a video card like a GeForce 6600 with 128 MB. I have a 1.7 GHz Celeron processor, 256 MB of RAM, and a GeForce 6600 with 128 MB...))) So, basically, I can play Dark Messiah only thanks to my video card:D

On the topic: The game is awesome! I like that the main focus is on physics; you can do some cool things with it. The plot is interesting, and the graphics are good.

You can't buy items in the game like in Oblivion... It's not one big world; you go through loading screens between locations, although it simulates a large world.

But there are no pointless wanderings in that world. Everything is logical:D

But wandering is better, like in Might and Magic or TES. It's more enjoyable.

Darn... Wandering is terrible. It's truly a pointless activity. TES, Gothic... I don't really like that. It takes too much time to complete such games; I haven't finished even one, I just get bored. But Dark Messiah is more enjoyable.

Danoo... Wandering around is a drag. It's truly a pointless activity. I don't really like TES or Gothic. They require too much time to complete, and I haven't finished even one of them, I just get bored. But Dark Messiah is more enjoyable.

However, you feel the world, and in general, the more wandering around, the better and more complete the game world becomes. And true wandering is in Daggerfall.

I recently bought this game… and I liked it!: you just go around slashing everyone and don’t have to strain yourself much=). It reminds me most of a serious Sam in the world of Heretic, only with fewer mobs.
The game can’t be compared to Might and Magic because the genre is completely different.
The graphics may be on the HF2 engine, but if HF2 is all the computer is capable of, the gameplay will be greatly extended due to the long loading times and the turn-based nature of the process :P.
In general, now I’m just waiting for the licensed version to become available in our backwater town.

Playing MM is not comparable because the genre is completely different. The graphics might be on the HF2 engine, but if HF2 is all the computer can handle, the Gameplay will be significantly stretched out due to endless loading screens and the turn-based nature of the process :P.
Anyway, now I'm just sitting here waiting for the license to reach our backwater.

And I also like this thing—that Messiah is more detailed than Half-Life 2, for example. For instance, when you pick up a box in Messiah, it doesn't just float in the air in front of you like in Half-Life (I mean the absence of hands holding it), but rather your hands are actually holding it. When you tilt the mouse down, you can see the body and legs, and even the armor changes depending on what you have on at the moment. The same goes for ladders and ropes; when you climb them, everything is like in real life—you can see the arms and legs—whereas Half-Life doesn't have that.

Overall, Messiah leaves a very pleasant impression.

but the price for that was a complete lack of open space and loading screens when transitioning from one room to another.

In general, the Source engine doesn't support huge spaces (complete game worlds, universes). More precisely, it does support it, but it would take too long to load. Notice that when you move from one location to another, as you said, a loading screen appears. And sometimes you have to wait quite a while for it. And what does it load in the end? Just small locations, positions...

And if it were a whole world, imagine how long it would take to load it completely.:cool:

The game is awesome; I'm on chapter 7. I really like it. It's purely a shooter with a few hints of the world of Ashan. By the way, the world itself is very good, and the monsters and buildings make you feel like you've really stepped inside "Heroes of Might and Magic." It lacks scope and the number of enemies, but even so, it's great.
