you can include swords of xeen too, even though it isn't canon.Alright guise, if I remember right, I played a bit of I and VI-IX a couple of years back, but didn't finish them (no surprise here).
I'll pretend I never played those, just Heroes and Crusaders. If I want to get acquainted with the original series, which game would you recommend me to play first?
Right now MM6 looks like the best bet to me.
MM3 and forward.

That's too broken, I'm afraid. Obviously, I haven't played it, but the problem with such huge spawns is that they make life even worse for the weak classes( basically, everything but necromancers, dragons and dark elves) and they give tons of xp to those classes that are already strong - after all, all of them use AoE damage to grind through the mobs and, well, for a well placed dragonbreath there's no difference between a dozen or a hundred of ogres. Not to mention how ridiculous armageddon gets with this mod...
hey bro, dont tag it on me, im just the messenger.
Oh guys i just remembered I actually played a bit of Crusaders of Might and Magic and from the contemporary reviews and my memories it seems like utter piece of shit, is it any good?
Depends on the platform.Oh guys i just remembered I actually played a bit of Crusaders of Might and Magic and from the contemporary reviews and my memories it seems like utter piece of shit, is it any good?
I replay it every now and then too.You guys are just h8erz. Crusaders is actually a pretty fun slasher, I even replay it every now and then
One of these days I'm going to man up and play I and II, even if I have to use maps from the Internet. I want to finish this whole series (even IX).
IX is an awesome game, I enjoyed playing it a lot! IMO its better than 8, although of course not as good as 6 or 7.
totally underrated…even in its unfinished state its highly playable.
You're new here so listen, for shit like that you have to add this .
Otherwise you get all sorts of tags.
I play with my floppy version of M&M3 bought at the release of M&M3 and I didn't pirate the game. I don't know if I have this bug because it's a french version.You're right, the oldest version had this bug. But since those disks were exchanged and I doubt anyone plays from 20 year old diskettes now it's safe to assume that players suffering from this bug now got their version from pirate sites.the original diskette version (which i also have) have this bug, you had to send a letter in to NWC to get a disk with a patch/new disks, if i remember correctly.

Why nobody would play today with floppy disk? It's stupid. Lot of people are still floppy drive.
I wonder if this guy has played any of the other Might and Magics.
prob only played MM6-8, although he interviewed Tim Lang.

I just wondered because all the stuff he praises about MMIX is just a weak imitation of things from previous games. Anyone with M&M experience would have addressed that at length in any review.
I'm not sure. His reviews are weird. He reuses lots of the same scenes in his short reviews, and they don't give you a good idea of the games. His Might & Magic reviews are about IX, VIII and Crusaders. He really likes the latter. There's also a "review" about two console versions of M&M 2, which basically just tells you that the Nintendo version is broken and you should play the Genesis one, and that one on an emulator because of save game problems. Nothing about the game itself though, except graphics and that it takes 1000 hours to complete.

Yeah, sounds weird. Probably not wise to trust his reviews too much. If I hadn't already tried IX out (and found wanting) I might have installed after watching this review and needlessly suffered through it, always waiting when it gets as good as in the review. Fortunately, I already tried it, uninstalled after a couple of hours and never looked back.
There should be a rating system for reviewers, so you can easily avoid the idiots. Something like a reviewers' review.
Cant this guy have his own opinion? Why is that because he played and enjoyed a game that you might not necessary like, that you have to discredit his role as a reviewer? If he likes MMIX, then so be it.

It's not about his opinion, it is about his review being useless because it doesn't give you an impression how the game actually is. IX is only a pale shadow of previous M&M games, setting is boring, reduced number of spells, more linear, etc + clearly being only in early beta stage at release. But in the review he praises stuff that earlier games did much better and leaves a out the flaws.
