Heh, looks like steam is taking home the world record of pissing off the largest number of gamers in the history of video games.

It's pretty cool. I finished my first go-through with a guy who basically was a basher...shield and sword. Chopping off bishes heads and all that. I'm on a second run through as a back-stabber. I'll probably do a third run as a mage. Overall it's pretty linear, but not bad. It looks pretty good (the HDR looks really good) and the combat can be pretty visceral. There's something freakish about being picked up by a cyclops, thrown across the room, then stepped on.

There's a patch out for DM which (supposedly) does a lot for the game's overall worth, fixing many of the annoying bugs.

ooh i'll go check it out. Thanks for no link ox *pokes* hehe

Yea, I know. Until I read the patch notes I had no idea what happened to my shield. It was cool as hell...people hit me and die, basically. (or at least get tore up pretty good). Then I walk into this room, and next thing I know I suddenly don't have a shield.

Anyway...there are definetely problems with the game. Some parts of it are hard. There was one part where I needed a crystal, but I couldn't find it. After googling it (it got that bad) I finally learned it was on a wall...you had to shoot your rope arrow into the ceiling near it, climb up and pluck it out. While zombies endlessly spawn around you.

Other areas are equally frustrating. The "boss battles" can be annoying too... the worm was irritating as hell...lots of reloads. But honestly, the game isnt' bad. The graphics look really nice and it's fun.

Mm, k...I finally got some cash! A huge 100€ But I'm thinking of buying a game now, not sure which though! Gah, choices...might not buy anything just to be able to go longer with the cash. We'll see.

well, if it's down to buying one game, I wouldn't spend it on Dark Messiah. Not with other really good games competing for your cash. But since I haven't played any other games, who knows.
