    Might and Magic The Might and Magic Discussion Thread

    For all my time lurking the Codex, I've always wanted to debate octavius and Sceptic on M&M so I'm going to seize on this opportunity. It's true that exploration is M&M's calling card. It's the reason why it's not "Wizardry for babbies" as some would have it. They all do exploration incredibly...

    But that's weird because WoX has the superior exploration, not 6. Bigger isn't always better

    Wizardry 8 sucks! (LOL)

    Wizardry is the combatfag's champion, no doubt. Nobody does combat and especially character development as well as Wizardry 6-8. But I want to take this opportunity to talk up the storytelling in these games as they don't get a lot of appreciation. For starters, D.W. Bradley is a fantastic...

    From Software Dark Souls 3

    See my i-frame explanation below. One thing is for certain about DS2: you get hit all the time and it's plain as day that the weapon didn't make the connection. Really, the reason that it happens is insignificant in the face of the fact that it happens, and at such a frequent rate too. So I...

    From Software Dark Souls 3

    And that is literally what I just said, you illiterate. And it sounds to me like you just need to git gud. There is plenty of opportunity to interrupt an enemy in a combo chain, you just have to time it correctly. However, if you try that shit in DS2, you'll get punished for it. But why bother...

    From Software Dark Souls 3

    Lag and glitchy hit boxes, like toro said. But that aspect is even worse in DS1's duels. Really, DS1's PvP is almost unplayable. DS2 adds another layer of shit with the the agility and adaptability stats, and it was probably to hide the shitty hit boxes. If those stats are too low, you will...

    Wizardry 8 sucks! (LOL)

    Those aren't random battles because battling is the game. Those were random bouts of walking that you were encountering.

    From Software Dark Souls 3

    Well, it's obvious that you are a DS2peasant because your behavior is the same as the others. "hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr git gud" When I say that DS2's parries are inconsistent, I don't mean that I can't land them. They're a lot easier than DS1's once you understand the bullshit behind...

    Most overrated crpgs on codex that likaq doesn't like ( poll )

    I myself am a newfag of CRPGs as I've only been playing them for a few years, but that doesn't disqualify my observations. Why would it? What difference does it make that Arcanum was buggy at release? That tends to happen to ambitious games, and Arcanum is as ambitious as they come. When it...

    From Software Dark Souls 3

    And even without the avatar, you have already exposed yourself as a B-team apologist through your perpetual butthurt and inferiority complex. I never expected a rational argument from you in the first place--only mindless aggression--so thank you for cutting it short.

    From Software Dark Souls 3

    The fast roll, which is about the same as DS1's except quicker (just like everything else) is probably just for the demo. The player is using a huge sword and is wearing plate armor, he should be fat rolling. Even Havel's ring shouldn't allow him to roll like that. If that is indeed the case...

    Is Mass Effect a Star Wars derivative?

    Just because it has a bit of space magic and fantasy crap, it doesn't make it Star Wars. It has none of the drama, camaraderie, and humor that made SW such a classic. It's not Star Trek either just because it has a bit of space science. It lacks the grand ideas and heady plots that had inspired...

    From Software Dark Souls 3

    You mean best mechanics. If there's going to be cheap shit, it's better that it works for the player than against him. I'll take backstabs--multiplayer destroying as they are--over magically getting hit just because a stat was too low.

    Most overrated crpgs on codex that likaq doesn't like ( poll )

    I'm going with Fallout: New Vegas. Decent writing (that is worse than the originals, however) and faithful lore doesn't suddenly take away all the problems that FO3 had that carried over into NV. That gameplay and that engine is busted beyond repair. It is not better than Wizardry 8 or Deus...
