Yeah this game is more a FPSlasher with rpg elements. There could’ve more character customization, but maybe they’ll change that with Elements. I liked DM and does some really cool things with the source engine, but I don’t think it will trump oblivion. Better lower expectations now so you can enjoy it more when it releases. And yeah the story is typical fantasy fare, but if final fantasy can get away with “stop bad guy from destroying crystals oh noes he destroyed the crytals kill bad guy now” then why not DM?

Dark Messiah is hardly an rpg… It’s like a first person shooter plus swords linear adventure game… with multiplayer which seems pretty good. It is beautiful, and there is a lot of lore in the M&M series but the story is just okay, not amazing. Maybe if you are just console gamer craving an rpg it would seem like some awesome thing, but Daniel I wouldn’t count on this to keep you coming back for more like Oblivion does. It’s just not that special. :[

Plus Oblivion’s proven itself as the reigning champion, it’s smacked down pretty much every rpg released for the xbox. Granted there aren’t that many.

Anyway I’ll checkout the demo to see if it has changed, and to see how much better it looks on a console. Poor GPU ftl…

This is one game that I have been anticipating for a very long time. Hopefully it’ll trump Oblivion.

It was suppose to be hitting the 360 in September, but we all know how release dates are always subject to change….darn it. I have been looking forward to this since July and who knows how long we are going to have to wait now.
