Is there any game like Myth ?

[DraQ]

Prosperland has a new denizen.

A little clean up?

There are two things everyone at Codex (hopefully) learns:

1. Never spam

2. Forget about ever trying to win an argument with DraQ.

That is all.

And now returning to our previously scheduled programming.

I replayed Myth2&3 about a year ago, and, man, Myth 2 was good! But there are essentially no games like Myth. The Spellbound Robin Hood & Desperados titles come closest - and they are different games to be sure.

Myth 2 is unique in its awesomeness.
-----
Regarding the Spellbound games, Desperados was excellent, Robin Hood the best of the bunch and a classic, Desperados 2 had faults but was still good, and Helldorado was strictly for hardcore fans only. There was also some Mafia game nobody liked.

You should also play Myth 1 or the port of Myth 1 campaign into Myth 2 engine.
The plot is a little bit more fuzzy and the bestiary smaller but there is more challenge, with your group regularly stripped of your usual combination of units.

This thread reminded me of something. There was a Kickstarter for the spiritual sequel of Myth (or even it was called Myth?), that failed to gather the needed sum of money, if i recall correctly. I'm not able to find any information about that project, but i'm curious what happened with it. Maybe some fellow Codexer will remember the name of this game?

I also agree with naossano, Myth 1 is really worth playing at least once. For me it's slightly better than second one, which is still amazing of course.

I don't recall a proper spiritual successor project (though some games, like Nekro, referenced Myth) but there was this bizarre, almost certainly illegal project which caused a fair bit of drama in the Myth community (such as it is these days): https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mythstarter/mythstarter



edit: and the drama since that's what RPGCodex really cares about http://tain.totalcodex.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6085

The engine pitch sounds nice but the IP already has a publisher....

 

[Wulfstand]

The Banner Saga reminds me of the kind of vibes Myth 3 would give me, somehow.

Why won't a serious development team pitch a kickstarter for at least a decent spiritual successor already? ;_;

I am reading that thread. Hilarious stuff.

Basically dudes gone for kickstarter with:

- no license to do MythIV (GUYYYZZZ IT IS LEGAL)
- didn't even contact Take 2 (C&D 100% assured)
- uses other people work
- uses other people tweaks to engine
- 0 own work beside few models.

Best of that is butthurt.

Part of me wishes he would get that 450k create a game and then Take 2 would send him C&D shutting down everything and getting that 450k now spend money from him due to fraud.

modding drama is the best drama

Only modder drama i know better than this is Brutal doom drama.

Seems that they did release something at one point, which just a polish of the texture, no new features. (some features mentioned in the trailer were already did by other modders)
