How do we feel about Sci Fi elements in High Fantasy games?
>>
>>731020534
Right from the start? Okay
Woven in gradually over time until readily apparent? Kino
>>
I hate it, but specifically I hate M&M because those games are ugly as sin and play like dogshit.

Imagine my surprise playing WOTR and stumbling into a Fallout bunker complete with robot ghouls equipped with laser pistols

I like the "lost tech/civilization of the old ones" trope if done right.

None of (You) have ever played any of these games. You are just being a performative male.

I like how it's handle in Might and Magic 6 and 7. I don't understand why people bitch about it despite only showing up towards the end of the game.
>>
I dont mind it but I dislike how MM handled it by having blasters make all over forms of combat obsolete.
>>
>>731021705
My man I have these games right over here in my big box PC game collection
>>
>>731020534
Can someone please explain the deeper meta commentary going on with Might and Magic's Sci Fi elements? I always got the feeling like the devs were trying to say something deeper with these games.
>>
>>731020534
Scifi and fantasy are the same genre so your question is pointless

Wrath of the Righteous

>>731021705
I beat 4 and played a little bit of 5, actually.
>>
>>731021705
OP here. I've play only 6, 7, and 8 and soon I'll be playing Might and Magic 3, 4, and 5 because I loved the 3D games with so much passion and I'm hungry for more. I'll probably be checking out Wizardry in the future. Do you really think someone would create a thread on a game they never played?

>>731021916
ray guns are cool

>>731021916
They just really liked star treck, there's literally nothing else to it.
And the very first zone of mm6 has a blaster instructor and the people are in general aware of the Silence that shut down the heavenly forges, as many npc's gossip dialogue points out, so only some secondary who didn't even play the game could claim that the scifi "came out of nowhere"

sci-fi is fantasy

Tried Merge and honestly it sucks tranny dick. Yeah yeah it's technically impressive and le hecking wholesome but the games obviously were never meant to be played together.
I started in Jadame and by the time I was done with it 6 and 7 became complete jokes, even with their hp scaling. Actually the hp scaling really shows how absolutely terrible the class balance is, past lvl 100 only lich contributes meaningfully to the damage with shrapmetal doing multi k hits. Guess priest of light contributes by having op as fuck buffs that makes the party immortal no matter what I fight.
But rest of the leeches are fucking garbage, dark elf is trash, vampire even with 50 in dagger is gigatrash and even champion with 50 in GM armsmaster and buffed up the ass does less damage than one shard of shrap metal
If you play this go with 4 liches and 1 jadame cleric or you will hate yourself

I remember playing Wizardry 8, and finding out there's spaceships and machinery in general very wierd.
>>
>>731022445
To be honest. I'll probably only check out Wizardry 7 and 8 as those are the ones that appeal to me the most
>>
>>731022507
Do you miss the good old days of having to take notes in your rpgs?
>>
>>731023392
The only reason it's so popular is because sseth shilled it hard and now everyone thinks it's the defintive way to play these games. I don't understand why people can't just play the games normally without some e celeb telling them how to play it the wrong way. It's also sucks because it completely ditches 6 and 7 mechanics for 8's and MM8 is a worse system than both 6 and 7. They should have copied might and magic 7's system instead as that feels like that has the best mechanics out of all the games. Plus it uses item sprites and icons from 8 only and those are inferior to 6's item art. It's just a bad way to play the game for a first time.
>>
>>731023954
No. I took these notes like 2 years ago. Maybe some time in the next 50 years I'll run out of the old school exploration heavy RPGs to play though :(
