Might and Magic Might & Magic X Pre-Release Thread

[Zeriel]

It's gotten better, but there are still performance issues.

 

[Jack Dandy]

Damn. Unity really is that problematic, huh?

 

[AbounI]

Didn't manage to check in which country the boxed version will be available

 

[Invictus]

Aaaaaaahhhhhh!
I had to give in to my nostalgia and just reinstalled M&M3
Such an awesome game it si still the best

 

[Grunker]

Jan 23 will be sweet motherfucking shit

 

[Grunker]

It appears 2014 will be starting off on the right foot.

(Barring any unforseen delays in the production schedule...)

edit: Well I'll be... that's a Thursday. There's an Age of Decadence joke in there somewhere, isn't there.

rpgs and thursdays... conquistador also got delayed from expected thursday release

Hey, they actually filmed that video in a bar: https://mightandmagicx-legacy.ubi.com/opendev/blog/post/view/devs-talk-about-behind-the-scenes

It's like a joke. A Frenchman and German walk into a bar...

Is the punchline 20 million people getting killed?

Dear lord, the official forums (and I don't even mean Steam, but the Ubisoft forums) for this game are more vile and bitter than the Codex. What strange times we live in.

 

[Broseph]

Are most of the angry posts still from people who are butthurt about the grid?

 

[Zeriel]

And butthurt they aren't putting the entire game on EA. The steam forums are especially nasty about that. People have this really weird entitlement thing when they pay money, I don't understand it personally and I am generally a very unforgiving person when it comes to companies. I guess I just look at all the EA games as pre-order first, beta-testing second? Whereas a lot of people seem to think they have some right to peer over the developer's shoulder constantly because they paid 30$.

 

[Broseph]

I don't even. It's only a month until release.

 

[Zeriel]

Yeah, that really confused me too. They got angrier when the release date was announced to be soon.

"This game can't possibly be ready, because I haven't tested the whole thing! There's no way you have a QA department!"

I wish I was making this shit up.

MMX's official forums are a cesspit of LARPers asking for paperdolls and Arcomage.

To be fair, though, the private Early Access section of the forums is much better: http://forums.ubi.com/forumdisplay.php/512-PRIVATE-MMX-Game-Discussions

i would have liked those things too

can't go wrong with paperdolls.

Sure, but these people think the game is TERRIBLE, A BETRAYAL and WILL FAIL because those things are missing

Yes, but would you spend 6 months taking a hot, steaming dump on the developer's lovely lineoleum floors after they had said they didn't have the resources to implement them?

...

Actually when I put it that way, they sound way more classy than they actually are.

Any sort of rough guess the playthrough time the completed game might end up having?.

Any sort of rough guess the playthrough time the completed game might end up having?.

I would guess about 15-20 hours total, and that's with the current, horribly slow movement system. If movement was sped up to be competitive with Xeen, I might guess more like 10-15 hours.

 

[Doctor Sbaitso]

The completed game will be 15-20 hours?

 

[Broseph]

The completed game will be 15-20 hours?

Probably closer to 25-30 at least. That was an official estimate from the devs several months ago. Granted, that pales in comparison to Xeen, 6, or 7, but I'd say MM3 and 8 took me around that many hours to complete.

Interesting, I don't recall that official estimate. I do recall them saying something rather vague like "well the world is about as big as MMV, so you do the math" though. I was just extrapolating from how long it took to finish Act 1 of 3 in the EA.

I imagine without trash fights shorter play time just means more opportunity to try different parties.
