Might and Magic Might & Magic X Pre-Release Thread

That's hardly a difficult decision. Each one of those games belongs to a different subgenre. Pick your favorite.

Wow it's out already. Time for Let's plays watching

I dont know if I have a favorite. Blackguards looks like a great TB battleground but i hear its a bit linear. Divinity seems more open but its still early alpha/beta. MMX lacks that dynamic isometric action yet its the closest to a complete experience atm.

eh, Ill probably get magic. Not often spoilt for choice these days.

 

[SuicideBunny]

Which will give me more bang for my buck right now; MMX, Blackguards or Divinity OS?

ignoring the fact that they are very different games, i'd say divinity, despite being the most expensive, mainly due to multiple ways to do stuff, allowing you to try and break the game with the pyramids and magic and co-op.

Ah well. Already checked out with MMX, ill get Divinity eventually.

Did anyone's boxed edition already ship?

 

[theSavant]

Ah sorry, I was misled by the "Available Now" sign.

So, I bought MMX on Green Man Gaming yesterday - which gets me only the Uplay key (no Steam). It was a few dollars off list price so I figured what the heck...

Man, what a mistake I made. How I wish I had the Steam version now. The Ubisoft Autopatcher is horrendous, frequently dropping the patch downloads, and I've spent half the day trying to get these patches downloaded. I dread when the final version comes out and I'll need to download even more.

I'm assuming patches go much more smoothly on the Steam version?

You should have read the discricption. It says if it gives a Steam code or not.

Heh. I just went through the same nightmare, getting so far as the autopatcher causing boot issues on windows start up.
Eventually found the manual updates and almost done downloading that way.

Would have been nice to see them advertised more clearly before i went through the uplay ordeal.

Mine did. I got an email from Ubi last Friday that my boxed edition has been sent.

I already knew I wasn't getting a Steam code... I just was voicing my regret on the decision, and hopefully steering others away from my poor choice.

Ah cool! Thanks for that link - will definitely grab patches from there in the future.

I played just now for a couple hours and I love it! It still blows my mind we have a new turn-based blobber like this with modern graphics and a decent budget. The new age of incline has begun!

What are your bets on optimization?

It will be optimized for iOS, but the PC version will be a close and competitive second.

 

[Infinitron]

Funny, but if these open environments are killing PCs then I'm not sure when iPads are gonna be able to run this.

Did he get his swords from Cyrodiil ? And the armour from fan-mod Cyrodiil?

You lucky bastards who are getting the boxed version - here's what you're getting:

That's a really nice looking box. They did a great job with it. But that idiot got his fingerprints all over it! BE CAREFUL!

The map and the manual look great also. I swear I could almost smell them as I was watching.

 

[felipepepe]

Manual only has ~40 pages.

Speaking of the map, they seem to have taken all the art-related criticism to heart - the WIP one sure left a lot to be desired. It's rather doubtful they ever intended to stick with it, but it's a pleasant surprise nonetheless.
