Might and Magic and what it should be...

[erthia]

Everyone probably remembers how great of a game Might and Magic 6 was. Even MM7 and MM8 were great games too. The story was excellent for all of the might and magic games. They were linked well. Heroes of Might and Magic II was the game that brought me to the Might and Magic series.

However, my opinion is that they should have never changed the storyline to the series. I feel it is not the same game anymore. Heroes V could have been so much better if they would have remained keeping the same storyline from the original games.

If there is ever a Might and Magic X, I hope they link it to the original storyline. If they do, I think it would be the best rpg on the market. I can't stand playing the rpg games they have to offer these days. They are boring and repetitive. It's almost like each game company is copying each other's ideas.

I think if they create Might and Magic X to resemble its true past, it would make an impact on rpg gamers. It would be a change!

Ye, I strongly belive you´re right. There are more people, who do think the same. I see my friends stil stick to homm3. It began to go wrong in m&m 9(it was awful) and homm4. This was the time, when the might and magic spirit or atmosphere started to disappear. I find homm5 LOTRlike. The best m&m games had noble and friendly atmosphere. For example MM6. The graphics hadn´t good detail, but they were nice and friendly. The music, with some pianos, hapischrods and strings, some well-known classics, accurately fitted the towns, dugeons and all the places. Together it made a strong nice atmosphere. And I agree with you, that the storyline shouldn´t have changed. But I got to admit it would be hard to create something that would match the world of old MM games and withal original. The series started to be little stereotype. So and heroes IV - I think the storylines of all campaigns miss something. This game is LOTRlike, too. It´s a game full of dreaming, music similar to LOTR soundtrack.(I´m ton against lotr, but I think MM should me like MM, not like LOTR) But still homm4 was quite ok. Homm5 brought some innovations but I don´t like it. I played it some time, then I put it away. I think it hasn´t much to do with might & magic. Yes there are creatures from the series, it has some similarities, but it´s LOTRlike. Just looking at the banner at this forum or the image on the official page tells you everything. We can only hope someone will change his mind and come out with a solution. At best with new m&mXhttp://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif. I know it´s useless writing, but I´m glad I´m not the only one, who has this point of view.
