Might and Magic Might & Magic X Pre-Release Thread

I just read the Codex preview. They say "it doesn't horribly suck hard" -- considering the source that's rather positive.

RPG Codex: Where the verdict "does not suck" is the highest one can inspire to achieve.

How does the game run for everyone? It looked and ran like shit for me. Was fun, though.

There is a really annoying bug when you identify stuff, but apart from that it runs fine for me.

Where's this from?

Scroll down a bit. There are other ones as well.

Game runs just fine for me on all settings max except shadows. I also really dig the art style, but the game is pretty fugly on a technical level right now. Shadows are often just "boxes" that cut off jarringly between grids. Some shadows follow their structure, others are just big squares. The end result is a pretty ugly game.

I put the shadows on low and it looked like someone took the smudge tool to the whole game. Game looked like it was back in 2004. With shadows off, it looked better, but not by much.

One feature I didn't care for is weapon breaking. There doesn't seem to be any way to know when it's going to happen. Furthermore, dual-weapons break together instead of separately...

Both things you mentioned the devs have publicly said they were working on fixing for the final release version.

That post makes me appreciate Sorpigal a hell of a lot more. I was wondering why the houses were all white-washed and quite atypical of the HERE'S A MEDIEVAL HELLSCAPE theme they had going incessantly in Heroes 6 & Ashan in general.

 

[warmonger3]

Anyone patch? I found it unplayable. Hot keys are broken, spells are borked.
I didn't play far enough to see the other changes/bugs added. I find it allot of fun though and I'm glad I payed for the preview.

 

[Zeriel]

There are a slew of new bugs, yeah. I'd reccomend waiting for a few more patches if you just want to play it to have fun. My guess is it'll be release-quality somewhere in December or thereabouts.

Julien Pirou AKA Marzhin has posted the game's intro on his blog: http://n-e-m-o.over-blog.net/



Also here are the Gamescom impressions of some guy at Celestial Heavens: http://www.celestialheavens.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=14303

blablabla nobles houses blablabla fantasy city names blablabla ancient evils and angels blablabla trade routes blablabla

I hated that intro since the first time I saw it. It's like a Star Wars prequel in the way it tries to mesh politics and epic fantasy adventure in order to make both dull.

Banal, shit, boring. Fortunately, I don't really give a toss about the story of an M&M game, and the gameplay rocks so far

 

[Gozma]

Wow that story cutscene looks raelly grate to hit escape during

The video shines in it's use of static imagery. I don't want to watch a cgi movie.

 

[Agesilaus]

The intro is good until you pass the 30 second mark.

Agreed. Limbic if you're reading this, you should be ashamed about how shitty your story is, at least from what's been presented so far.

 

[Broseph]

Dude, it's Might & Magic. Nobody gives a flying fuck.

 

[Excidium]

The devs clearly did since they wrote one.
