This game is such fucking garbage

>One of the worst fireball spells I've ever seen in a game where it takes like a minute to load up and does only like 10% damage

>Most spells in general are weak fluff except charm and telekinesis

>A stamina system that is worst than in your average Call of Duty game

>Everything is spongey for no good reason making combat not very hard but a slog to get through

>Melee combat that is god fucking awful and some of the worst ever put in a first person game

>Annoying blonde bitch who can't shut the fuck up


Why do people act like this is a masterpiece? It's easily Arkane's worst game except for Redfall. And yes I know, it's amazing because you can interact with the environment but that doesn't excuse that it's trash at it's core. It seems like you pretentious fucks love prasing a game just because it's an "immersive sim" become some faggot youtuber's essay review told you to do so. This game is nowhere near as good as Arxs or Prey. The only parts I enjoyed in this game is exploring and looking for sercets. Sometimes the combat can click when you pull something cool off but most of the time it's just a slog of a failure

It's the kick people like

Your criticisms are:
>fireball is... le bad!!!
>stamina is... le bad!!!
>combat is... le bad!!!

you're not saying anything substantial, just seething indiscriminately about how you don't like a thing because it's not how you like things like an autistic toddler screeching about how the yellow sippy cup is worse than the blue one

Yeah, it's just okay. It's like Prey. When it came out people were "That was alright." and that's it but then many years later people who never played it one release make out like it was this absolutely amazing game for some retarded reason.

Why do so many Source engine games that aren't HL2 feel janky and shit?

This is a bait thread.

That's right. I get to kick like 4 times before I'm winded. Yippy!

I actually heard some faggot whining about how the kick should have been nerfed. Honestly the kick feels weak to me in my opinion

>>717413515
>having to kick more than 4 times in a row
Holy fuck you are bad. PLEASE record your gameplay so we can laugh at you

>>717412878
To be fair yellow is a shit color and blue is far superior to it.
For me however, green is the superior choice.

Way to out yourself. Meanwhile, anyone and everyone whose opinion matters played this game before "youtube essays" even existed.

>>717413490
I've been playing through it and it's been a frustrating experience, crybaby

>>717413840
I was exaggerating. But seriously even with the stamina perk you run out quick.

>>717414074
I wasn't talking about any particular youtube eassy video. I'm talking about how pretentious this genre (immersive sims) and it's fandom are pretentious fags who will suck any of these games dicks just as long as you can throw a crate and hop inside a vent. I like these games but even I see how cringe people who use the word "im sim" are

>>717412765 (OP)
Reddit spacing.

>>717414654
>immersive sim
Still outing yourself. DM is an action game. Most of its levels are linear, some are outright on rails. It had a fucking deathmatch-based multiplayer mode back in the day, for fuck's sake. Only dumbshit youtubers and their cumguzzlers (like you) call it an immersive sim.

>>717414753
What defines an immersive sim then?

It's a better use of the Source engine than HL2

>>717414860
No idea, as I don't guzzle cum. But I knew a regular old linear action game when I saw it back in 2006.

>>717414753
You're a retard who doesn't know what an immersive sim is. Everyone considers Dark Messiah to be one

It's looking bleak bros.

>>717412765 (OP)
I'm sure not going to defend everything in this game.
But the melee was well above anything done back then, and probably a bit today.
The dynamic you get from inertia heavy game is just delightful.

I consider all game that use
>mana bar
>mana potion
To be crap by default.
Those are shitty method of balancing mage
Clear indication the devs actually just treat magic like gun with ammunition.

I remember there's a webm around using the ice spell creatively but I can't find it.

Even if that was all true, and OP is not a cock guzzler, the game still features Xana and is therefore good

Man what a happy, fulfilling life you have there buddy..

Argumentum ad chatbotium should be an instant ban.

>>717412765 (OP)
The main appeal of the game is the physics and ragdolls. shooting ice on the floor, throwing shit at enemies, and kicking them down stairs is fun.

That is until like 2/3rds into the game where most shit is happening in doors, and you have to resort to actually engaging with the combat system with is really boring. block attack, counter attack, repeat

You know what, this bait took some groundwork, has layers, and I am miffed at the possibility that it's genuine. So if you are being facetious, good job.

>>717412765 (OP)
Are you the same retard who got filtered by Outer Wilds yesterday?

>>717416664
I miss when devs used physics for gameplay. But I guess having photorealistic rock textures is more important to normies

>>717414931
>Super mario is an immersive sim

>>717412765 (OP)
They hated him because he spoke the truth. Dark Messiah is mid as fuck and easily at the bottom tier of Arkane's catalog. Anons need to actually go back and play the game instead of just remembering succubus porn and le kick memes.

>Why do people act like this is a masterpiece?
It's slop made for the Half Life 2 "LE PHYSICS!!!" audience.

>It's a masterpice made for "Half Life 2 physics" connoisseur.
Fixed, you make a lot of mistake anons.

>>717416895
Why would it being indoors change anything?
There's always a myriad of props strewn across the area that are specifically there for (you) to get creative.

Then move the fuck on, god damn crybaby.

Go back.

No? This board has more than 20 people you know

>>717412765 (OP)
>fireball is so weak
That's because fireball is a spell that just caters to retards. Fireball is weak because it's lame.

Ice is cool and lets you turn all of the levels into OSHA violations. Also goblins are like child soldiers, it's pretty fun

>>717419412
Shut up dweeb.

>stamina system that is worst than in your

>>717412765 (OP)
The real problem with combat are the insanely janky hitboxes. Other than that, it's fun to kick and break things and make enemies slip on ice. All first person combat should be more like that, but not like the bad hitboxes with regular melee.

>>717414525
Then stop playing it if you don't like it?

>>717414753
OP is an idiot, but DMMM is an immsim. Immsim is a design philosophy about player choice and agency through interacting systems and emergent gameplay, and it definitely has that.
