*BEST GOBLINS IN ANY GAME EVER* Creeping up and listening to the goblins and the orcs argue about who ate who's testicles is a gaming moment that will never leave me!

[@dragonbeast6934]

Personally I like the orcs and goblings in icewind dale 2 best. But this is a close 2nd.

[@mattcat83]

Listening to stormtroopers banter is one of the best part of the Dark Forces series. The same principle applies other mobs of baddies.

[@craigboden9455]

@@dragonbeast6934 still yet to play that, I'm enjoying neverwinter nights atm on mobile so when that's ran it course I might have a go at the icewind Dale ones.

[@dragonbeast6934]

@@craigboden9455 I would skip icewind dale 1 and just go strait to Icewind dale 2. It uses D&D 3.5 I believe which adds feats which mixex up the battles a whole lot. Story wize icewind dale ,apperantly, is crap compared to Baldurs gate 2 and so on, but I feel the story is fine and strait forward. You can build your party how you will and there are even some premade ones that has some back story to it. Your mission is simple: Break the siege of Targos as you enter the town by boat. Once that is done you get various missions that will send you on different locations. Its simple and easy to follow. Gameplay is where icewind dale 2 shines. But personally there so many cool story moments in icewind dale 2 that I cant believe how many people downplay it. Mocking Orcs in the first part of this game is so funny ive had drick pouring out of my nose at replays, I just cant get over it. This game was made at the very end of Black Isle lifetime and was made in a hurry because of dead lines and yet the end results is imho amazing. Actually.... I think I`m am gonna install it right now :D

[@user-roget]

I would recommend checking Arx Fatalis, from the same team.

[@Staglaitor]

A vote should be organized to create a second part of this game

[@Oakenwarrior]

Not only have I played it, I'm also in the credits :| What an absolute gem of a game. Shame that the sequel never got finished.

[@MitchManix]

The Apostles of Might & Magic I presume? Just checked my footage and there you are. Totally agree, would love a follow up on this one.

[@Oakenwarrior]

@@MitchManix that's the one. Hopefully a sequel will be revisited sometime in the future, fingers crossed for that!

[@casanovafunkenstein5090]

I feel that it may be a bit of a tall ask for a sequel to come out, given the overall kind of weird commercial status of the Might and Magic franchise as a whole and this game not really fitting that comfortably alongside the other games. That being said, a spiritual successor that reinstates some of the absolutely bonkers ideas from the series would probably do really well nowadays. I feel like the emergent gameplay and physics-based slapstick shenanigans would have made the game a hit if it were released a couple of years later when KZbin and Twitch had hit their respective strides.

[@AlexGorskov]

​@@Oakenwarrior A fellow Estonian dev! Nice to meet you, Mr.Ozolit! Been keeping an eye on your progress for a couple of years now. Hope it goes well for Broken Alliance! Btw, didn't know you were in the biz that far back.

[@Oakenwarrior]

@@AlexGorskov Thank you! And yeah, I uhh... started out when I was 14 >_>

[@BigmanDogs]

Imagine how much of a hit this game would have been if it was released today

[@xXturbo86Xx]

It would have been as much of a hit as it was back then.

[@remliqa]

Sounds like a game worthy of a remaster/reboot.

[@anthimatter]

​@@remliqa 100% but the thought of what they'd do to it fills me with dread lol

[@BigmanDogs]

@@xXturbo86Xx it definitely wouldn't have, it would have sold way better.

[@CTE-6000EagleVeryHeavyFighter]

No. Everyone wants souls trash

[@HyenDry]

This game was so far ahead of its time its so sad it didnt get the recognition it deserves.

[@JonathonTheAsshole]

It was a medieval Deus Ex with the Might and Magic brand slapped on it which it had no connection with at all. Made by some ex-Thief/SystemShock/Deus Ex developers that were previously at Looking Glass and Ion Storm who then joined Arkane. Basically everything they did back to Ultima Underworld qualifies under "didnt get the recognition it deserved". Even though the "Looking Glass" influence is now a part of nearly every single modern game that gets made regardless if the devs are aware of it or not..

[@Nymerian_]

this is how i feel with dragons dogma

[@bigred1554]

I'm playing through dragons dogma right now, it's awesome. Took me a while to get into it though but really enjoying it now

[@Briggie]

It came out the same year oblivion did, so that didn’t help things.

[@cykeok3525]

@@JonathonTheAsshole > ex-Thief/SystemShock/Deus Ex developers That explains so much! I love Dark Messiah.

[@Larlanen]

I absolutely loved this game when it came out. If only they'd make something this entertaining again. I'd even settle for a polished remake.

[@chloewebb5526]

Honestly, most of these old games can be run in higher resolution, and you can force your GPU to run AA and anisotropic filtering to clean up the image, on top of any mods that may add a small QoL adjustment. Every old PC game has had someone try and release a tool or adjustment to fix it up on github at some point. If nothing else, there are usually guides or forums that detail how to crack open some of the files and adjust things ourself to get everything running as smooth as it felt on release. I've been going back and playing not just the games I missed out on when I didn't have a gaming PC from 07-2015, but all the ones I missed or only ever had a Demo for (Like No One Lives Forever 2, which I now love more than I ever loved the first one). I started making new levels for quake using Arcane Dimensions and fancy texture wads. There is so much to do in classic gaming communities lately. Some communities just never died and have been making new content for their games for 20 years or more. What I'm saying is screw remakes. The problem with games nowadays is they dont do anything new and just rely on what has already been done a million times before. Dont give companies money for rehashing a classic, play the classics again. They definitely deserve the love more than some company that found a way to score the rights to make a re-release. Except maybe Nightdive, they're actually preserving some games that need preserving.

[@donenglish7572]

Played this a couple times when it was released. Never understood why it didn't get more love from the gaming community.

[@rufuske]

Requires thinking to be truly appreciated. Bugs didn't help...

[@korinogaro]

@@rufuske I don't think so. Like yeah, it was buggy as hell but at the time no-one looked at it as an RPG because there is nothing except for lvls worthy of being an RPG. Now in 2023 when the genre was bastardized beyond all limits you could call it action-RPG. But still how many ok action games do we get every year? At least couple and when that game was released that type of action games was more popular so even more than a couple. And we also don't remember those other 'ok' but nothing insane games.

[@VegetoStevieD]

Everyone was probably too busy playing WoW

[@zeriel9148]

I think one of the problems was the franchise; departing starkly from a franchise's niche often puts a game under the microscope. If it was just a random game by Arkane people might have been more lenient. It's like... imagine there hadn't been a Starcraft game in years, and suddenly one comes out and it's a totally different genre. The pressure on it to be perfect in every way is way higher than if it was just a random game with a different name.

[@over9000optimally]

I mean, this video is the first time I'm even hearing of it. Probably didn't have the greatest marketing.

[@kerianhalcyon2769]

Dark Messiah's probably got some of the best melee combat for me. It definitely feels much more like an Action Game with RPG elements in that regard, but doesn't suffer for the obvious mix-up in genres. It's also how I actively choose to remember Arkane, as opposed to the debacle going on with Redfall. It's been kind of one of my dreams to make a spriitual successor that mirrors this game's fun mechanics.

[@kylekonop4801]

Ah yes. I loved "The Adventures of Sir Kicksalot in the Land of Conspicuously Placed Spike Racks".

[@W4iteFlame]

True

[@docmars]

I played this more than once, in short order. Some of the most fun I've had in a first person medieval adventure. I remember feeling disappointed in how short it was, but it gave me hope that something bigger would be on the way. Impressive use of the Source engine too! This was also when HDR bloom was still a new thing.

[@IShoePets]

That "Why?" absolutely killed me. Your personality is 100% unbeatable, never change!

[@Barefoot_Joe]

It's spelled unbearable, yw. xD

[@Eightfinger]

As a teenager, I always had dreamed about a game like this. And then, suddenly, it existed. Man, I love that game. One of my best gaming memories. And it is still fun to play, even so many years later. I'm not big on replaying games, but Dark Messiah, simply because of the different "classes" you could build, and how much that changed the whole approach to combat and how you use the environment, made me play it at least 3 times.

[@Apostlehood]

One of my favorite games! To this day I'm still hoping for a sequel or at least a spiritual successor.

[@altaryumzolat]

There actually is what I consider a somewhat spiritual successor to it, Lichdom Battlemage.

[@ichibancho]

I was so dissapointed when it came out regarding the lack of mod support.

[@7dayspking]

Dishonored is a very similar but bigger game. It doesn't have the fantasy setting though.

[@freedantheeternal]

Unlikely to ever happen, since the Might and Magic franchise as a whole fell off hard after this game was released, to the point a lot of the fanbase of the original and spinoff Heroes series actually blaming this game for killing it. But the far likely cause is just apathy, since even the most recent release, Might and Magic 10, was all the way back in 2014, and reception can be best described as "eh." The game wasn't all that good, and as far as I can tell, no one really cares anymore, especially Ubisoft, who own the IP still.

[@7dayspking]

@@freedantheeternal Ehh. The 1999-2002 action/console (Not the RPGs/Dungeon crawler mainline titles) titles were poorly received years before Dark messiah came out. Might & Magic IX didn't go so well either.

[@Remrau]

It was a fantastic experience when it came out, absolutely mind blowing. I'm glad someone brings it up today, because if any RPG fan has missed this gem, they should deffo give it a go.

[@mikeosredkar8804]

Oh man, this is one of the first games I probably ever played on my own PC, and I had a deliriously good time with it back then. You just body-checked me back to '06 and I appreciate it!

[@NoFaithNoGlory]

This game was soooo ahead of his time it's insane. I wish all developers put that care into making games. I remember playing when it first and being completely amazed with all that had to discover. Then several years later I played it again with a guide from a magazine and be yet more amazed. Gosh, I even discovered a secret room that was not it the guide(this game is soooooo full of secret rooms it's insane). A masterpiece I wish it made it into a game series with the same kind of spirit.

[@TheCyberDruid]

Absolutely underrated gem :) Not much of an RPG, but a really cool melee action adventure with so many quirky and funny set pieces! Thank you for the video.

[@Jorendo]

And one that shows you can actually have first person melee combat done pretty well. Not many manage to pull that off.

[@7dayspking]

I found the combat hard/bad to control. The new shadow warriors control better for example

[@coltonlehnen6803]

It absolutely is an rpg. RPG doesnt mean open world

[@7dayspking]

@@coltonlehnen6803 But RPG does mean 'role playing' game. I only consider games with a substantial role playing element to be RPGs. The interactive dialogue choices in Dark Messiah were few and far between. Most of the game was cutting through enemy filled levels and non interactive cutscenes.

[@wes8723]

@@7dayspking But there are many, many RPGs that don't have any interactive cutscenes or dialog choices for that matter.. JRPGs rarely have any of those systems.. I mean, Dark Messiah is a light action-RPG at best but your points can't be used to describe what a RPG is made of and what makes a game truly a RPG

[@knighttemplaroftentacult7123]

How's it hidden when it is in my personal collection of Best Games of All Time for a more, than a decade now? The game is PERFECT!

[@Turtlesism]

Also I will point out that one disappointing thing about this game was that when it was initially released it was incredibly buggy. It had several game breaking bugs that could easily stop you from finishing the game. This was extremely disappointing, because it really did a lot to make its initial reception very tepid and held it back from the success it really deserved.

[@Rehzix]

Oddly enough, I remember having to spam press the right arrow key or the game would get stuck in the first loading screen when starting a new game lmao

[@Turtlesism]

@@Rehzix Yeah one of the biggest game breaking bugs was the rope arrow, which on release didn't actually work. So it meant you were unable to progress the game at all.

[@Johnnyboy414]

I remember I was very far into the game and then my save got corrupted and I didn't want to start over

[@huseyinsekerciler5344]

One of my all time favorites. For those who are unfamiliar with the lore, the story takes place after the events of Might&Magic V and Tribes of the East, and most of the characters (including the "villain" of the game) are from that games so if you want a more "thorough" experience, I suggest playing those too.

[@Draeka]

I can't tell you how many times I've replayed this game. It's one of my all-time favorite games.

[@lordgates9180]

One of my favourite RPGs from an age old era. Such a great soundtrack too! Good to see the adventures of Sir Kicksalot Von Deathboot alive and well.

[@Foracoth]

Whatchu mean "age old era". The game is from 2006 😶‍🌫

​@@ForacothSo there are 17 year olds who are younger than it? Not disproving the point.

[@gawni1612]

This was one of my ultimate favorite games, and the multiplayer changed my life. There's never been a similar more visceral multiplayer game where you can level up and spec into different talent trees during the match.

[@Gameboon]

Is there still a multiplayer scene alive somewhere? I never got to play it multiplayer so I'm curious what that would be like.

[@irl_lizard7880]

I really like the level design in this game. Returning to it after playing their later games, it feels like they had a very similar approach, building most of the levels to feel like real places, with the main difference being that they just had the player go through most of them in a straight line in Dark Messiah. Even when the level was clearly and obviously linear, I would often feel like I was just trying to find a path through a real place rather than walking in a straight line.

[@markhornbuckle9081]

Two things I remember most about this game: The amazingly fun fire mechanics, and the orcs shouting "Abomination!"

[@Wayleran]

Mitch you are, and I honestly mean this, a TRULY UNDERRATED KZbinr!!! Also you're legitimately funny. A lot of people THINK they're funny or TRY to be funny but naturally funny people are few and far between. There's a fine line between a joke being "forced" or "cringe" and a joke being hilarious. Timing and delivery is IMO something you can work on but you still really need a natural talent for it which you have. Love all your content and it's just a matter of time before you really blow up, even though I've seen dramatic increases in your views since I started watching your videos around the time of the original SWTOR "movie". Keep it up and thanks for the great content.

It's crazy that in some respects it actually looks better than un-modded Skyrim though. I remember following this on release but never got around to playing it, maybe I didn't have a PC capable of it at the time, can't remember. Might have to have a quick playthrough.

[@benruniko]

I played this game the year it came out. I had saved up enough money from my first couple jobs to buy my first gaming pc and was so psyched to try this. And dang i loved it. I remember just being in awe of the visuals and physics at the time, and the big twist in the story had just enough foreshadowing that it made me feel clever to realize it juuuuust before the characters did. The undead were creepy, the beds of nails duct taped to every wall were always put to good use, and it was all around a good time!

eeeeeh it's a great game and still holds up, but it's pretty unique, certainly not a traditional bethesda rpg. i think the title is a bit unfortunate, more like a physics based first person action game. now that i think on it, it feels closer to doom 2016 or halflife than any actual rpg. anyway cheers.

While playing this game, when we entered the ruins, we encountered goblins, sometimes they were hiding in the doorways and setting traps, I was so surprised while playing it, it is an excellent game.

Thank you for recommending this game, after you video I bought it and started playing (it crashed after the intro mission, just had to restart it) and I can see how this game is designed for FUN

Great presentation! You forgot to include stealth mechanics and those sweet backstabs and dagger combos.

Of all games that I think deserves a remaster, I'd love to see this one remastered

Thanks for showcasing this wonderful game. One of the first games I fell in love with.

I played the 360 version of this game and loved it! The prologue is a completely different one, where Sareth retrieves the Shantiri crystal from a temple in a stoney valley and the tutorial area from the pc verion is a part of the early main story. But there is no blood, beheading and bodies disappear after killing an enemy. And I think the stealth kill mechanic and some weapons are missing. But Ioooved it!
