MYTH II SOULBLIGHTER FULL DOWNLOAD UPDATE
Kudos for Bungie for making the game accessible to those of us who have to be dragged kicking and screaming to the computer update shop every year or so. I loaded the game on a friend's P200 with a 3dfx card and there was some improvement, but not enough for me to justify buying a new computer. The graphics on my puny P133 (the bare minimum that Bungie recommends) are awesome.
MYTH II SOULBLIGHTER FULL DOWNLOAD PATCH
While there is a "no blood" option, as of the latest patch it has not been implemented yet (and I don't think it should be - part of the extreme coolness of Myth comes from watching bodies and limbs flying in every direction, though maybe that's just me). A warning to those who do not share my love of gore: if you are squeamish then this is not the game for you.
It's just so damn cool to watch the blood flow during and after a battle. I think that hand to hand combat games will have a hard time following these footsteps. I believe that Myth will become a watershed of realism much in the way that Apocalypse Now became. Up until then war movies were very unrealistic, with wounded soldiers just grasping their sides and falling down. Myth , in many ways, reminds me of the first time I saw Apocalypse Now. Carnage is everywhere, a very refreshing change from the sanitized battlefields of previous games. Most game developers have tended to shy away from showing the brutality of hand to hand combat. I am a big fan of realism and like the idea of being able to tell where a battle has taken place by the pools of blood that have formed on the ground (shades of Mel Boy's Braveheart) and this game does not disappoint. Myth goes beyond the cliché "visual treat". The squeamish need not applyĪny review must start with the graphics. It is one of the few instances in recent memory where reality has matched hype.
I am quite pleased to say that Myth has met every one of my expectations and surpassed it. But as time marched on and more and more proclaimed Myth as being "The Next Big Thing" I was concerned whether I would be disappointed if it wasn't the be all and end all of real-time wargaming (an affliction currently making the Starcraft rounds in my mind). With every new taste from the hype machine the expectation for of gamers grew. Squads will make plays to "Go stealth demo their tech buildings this time" or "Go to mid and defend our base." It adds an interesting laying of strategy to the game.Įach kill gives you a "soul" you can spend the souls you've collected to purchase on life of a super hell unit.When Myth was first announced and we were presented with those screenshots filled with carnage, most of us went "cool" and smacked our lips in anticipation. Squadmates can spawn at their officer's portal and they receive bonuses to their health+Stamin+mana when near their officer. Make no mistake, each player is autonomous, but they will follow a good commander.Įach team has several SQUADS of about 3-5 players. Commanders can cast debuffs on enemies and buffs on their own team's players. They can build new tech buildings, defensive towers, and forward outposts. All are versatile depending on your skill and all can offer you a different playstyle and your team a different benefit.Įach team has one commander who is viewing the game as an RTS. We have fighters, healers, siege, stealth units, builder units. There are ranged attacks, special attacks like bleed damage or stuns, blinds, binds, all depending on which unit you're playing. When you're ready you start to learn the abilities for each unit. Get in there and swing your swords, you'll figure out how the combat works. You can improve yourself by learning more and more, but you can also jump in and just figure it out. Savage 2: A Tortured Soul is a team game where we work together to defeat the other team using mostly melee combat. The game is alive, and organized because we still want to play it. Last week we had 23 users playing on Saturday. We are keeping this game alive by scheduling regular games every Saturday.
