October 28, 200619 yr The Good: Good death animations. The Bad: Numerous crashes and glitches get in the way; minimal character building and progression; most of the game's combat is unsatisfying; storyline is almost completely transparent right off the bat. http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/darkmess...gic/review.html oops!
October 28, 200619 yr Hahhahaa...Arkane should have stayed on "doing crpgs for obscure Ultima Underworld fanboys"-thing. They should have....ah heck, who am I kidding, this just makes me sad. I mean, I don't exactly trust reviewers, but if the grade really is that low, there's gotta be some truth to the review. It's not IGN either. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
October 28, 200619 yr Wait, didn't Gamespot say DM was one of the best games at E3? And now combat is unsatisfying? Okay.... (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
October 28, 200619 yr Meh, I liked the videos... looked like it could be a good fantasy action game or something. But I didn't like the demo much at all. There were some things I liked, but over all; no. Probably due to bad performance and combat that didn't suit me much at all. Edited October 28, 200619 yr by Noceur

October 28, 200619 yr His complaints about the combat seem idiotic. Other than that, the guy's probably right. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans.

October 28, 200619 yr I can never get enough of that crate-kicking, I tell ya. Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.

October 28, 200619 yr Remind me never to go egg shopping with you <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I always tell hubby I accidentally dropped them... On topic, that's too bad about the game, if true. Another game that might've been fun to waste my brain away on, that's apparently not. A fantasy-world FPS might be something that would get me more into FPS. Draken was sorta like a 3rd person action fantasy, but ... Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.
October 28, 200619 yr I've seen plenty of positive reviews of DM as well, I wouldn't write the game off because of one negative. The best flash game ever!
October 28, 200619 yr How positive? I mean, the one above wasn't horribly negative in the written text, really. Beyond the bugs, it just sounded like they thought it was uninspired and mediocore...not terrible. Which could be said of many games. But since I'm not too into combat-action type games, mediocore may as well be terrible. It'd have to really shine for me to get into it. Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram.

October 28, 200619 yr I still want to play this...guess I'll get it when it's cheaper and the bugs are fixed. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta

October 28, 200619 yr Can you give it special abilities though? Making a generic sword seems kinda dull
October 28, 200619 yr Hmm...that article made me realize I mispelled mediocre. Twice. hah! Yes, my brains are leaking out my ears more every day! That review is definitely much better - he didn't make mention of any major bugs, either, so perhaps it's not hopelessly riddled. I don't like the sound of "such elongated loading times", tho. That's ok for a strategy-mission campaign type game, but an action game, it stinks. Hmm. Thanks for that, Meta. I guess I was hoping it'd be action-rpg like, with a shooter-style flavor. We'll see.

October 28, 200619 yr I usually trust Eurogamer.net more than any other review site. They gave it 8/10. Still not convinced by this game and I'm too lazy to download the demo. Damn. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
October 28, 200619 yr Download it! You won't regret it. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
October 28, 200619 yr Yes it's totally worth it! You download 1.5Gbyte and then play a whooping 10min! Rain makes everything better.
