Interesting and informative video well done, sir. 👍Just a creative comment regarding presentation though; there are too many text walls with the actor's VO. This style repeats itself constantly throughout and can make viewing a little laborious. Sorry but I'm actually a film editor. 😉

I finished my first playthough last week. Fantastic RPG, amazing characters and story, not gonna lie, though I did just turn on god mode for the last 2 hours of the game.

The irony of us hardcore gamers saying that our media is completely different from movies because it allows you to engage directly with the action using your own free will to change the outcome of how things work, but then on the same breath, we also say that violent video games have no effect on us at all whatsoever. Both of these cannot be true. What if my parents never let me play GTA when I was 8 years old and I would binge vice city for 12 hours straight? Maybe I'd be more normal

I remember playing Might and Magic III - Isles of Terra on my old PC when I was in high school and really falling in love with it. We were fortunate enough to be one of the few people with a Roland LAPC-I soundcard, and the soundtrack was just amazing on that compared to the FM synth of your typical Soundblaster card.

its one of my top 10 all time games

Dont forget the game called Red Jets

Ealry in the video: How did it fall? Me: uhh.. just phased out? 3:48 Well thats the answer boys

I got the milennium editions of HoMM and mm. I already was familiar with the heroes games but i only knew mm via the trailers in homm and was super excited. I loved 6 and played it to death.

fick EA

Thank you for actually covering the REGULAR might and magic series. You dare to speak the words Might and Magic and all people every spout is Heroes, heroes, HEROES of Might and Magic II. I get that it was a good game, but I don't see the same masterpiece in the series others do. Frankly I tried HOMM 1 and couldn't get that into it(yes, I KNOW, HOMM2 was a lot better) but no one ever talks about the DND ripoffs that started it all. I LOVE the regular Might and Magic series and I have spent whole days across many of the titles and while I have never beaten any of the one of them, I have still frequently revisit them and I always have a good time. They have some of the best character creations of any DND-like games I've ever played, I spent a ton of time in 7, less in 6 but I still loved it, and I even love MM 1 with it quite possibly the one I have played the most of. While the combat of 1 and 2 was technically inferior to say Pool of Radiance and Curse of the Azure Bonds with their actual grids, the normal interface was much smoother(for me, at least). I love the standard MM so much and they are such classic games. It's so tragic that such a gigantic franchise was the victim of rushed entries and ultimately fell by the wayside. TBH I feel like a lot of "smaller" franchises rose and fell unfairly during this time, as if someone got a hold of them who wanted them to fail. While it's easy to suggest that agents of the actual DND(for example) had a hand in this, and for all we know it may have considering it showed them up in some regards, this seemed to be the case of a lot of similar franchises of the time, both for DND like games and others. It just seems to me like some powerful force in the media hates actual creativity and blights it at every turn. So whether DND itself played a hand or not it just seems to be a symptom of a larger problem.

2:25 "Were there scantily clad femaless in the product?" "No." Dang, we'll get them next time

How am I supposed 2 care about a game if they removed their gay muscle men ??

I'll never buy an Activision game again. Some of the shite they've released - knowingly broken. Even warzone mobile, with 11 different dev houses working on it, and it being out a year in som territories, was a broken, buggy, laggy steaming turd when i downloaded it, so this video doesn't surprise me.

Shit man, that's awful. I literally just stumbled across your renderware video 20mins ago, and decided to look your channel up cos it was EXACTLY the kind of video I like. Long story short, I'll stay subbed to await your future uploads and I'll check your back catalogue out. All the best mate.

Really nice upload mate. If you got more like this, I'm subbed!

damn brother, you didnt have to eviscerate me like that.

Wonderful Documentary

Business and marketing will kill a potentially good product

Tbh i only pmayed the ps1 warriors of might and magic, and i knew it was off, but this just sorta makes me feel better. I guess its a spin off of something, although it has not a lot of gameplay story to tie it in, you gotta rely on the game manual for the story lol

It's too bad someone else couldn't start a brand new project, and just get new voice actors for voice overs, and start from scratch with a new company...?

That's pretty crazy to that CANON of all companies could have become a major force in gaming.

Great

Its a bittersweet irony ... but as it seems, Vampire game (just as our protagonist) needed to die first, in order to rise again.

God, what a shame. EA really is the villain in most gaming related stories aren't they

Played a bit of the start of 7: very alien and weird controls and design today, but quite engaging

My father bought a Beeb in the early 80’s to learn CAD, we ended up getting loads of games for it too, including Exile, I was fascinated by it, never managed to beat it, I was too young to really understand it!

I had so much fun with it, I don't even remember if I ever encountered any unplayable elements or bugs. It was all good memories. But I did look for a patch, so I must have encountered issues lol.

Now do Gamebryo

There were 3D games in the Win3.11 era, and before

This saddens me a lot knowing that the new Bloodlines will suck so bad. Because then it’s just the final nail in the coffin of such a special franchise. Paradox and TCR just don’t have the talent or the passion Troika had.

2:49 Does anyone know what kind of game this is?

Activision is such a stupid ass company.

I was never an arcade guy I was more retro home console

Why people always talking shit about genesis version when it had way more stuff then the snes version

I remember my brother talking about it then went to the arcade and it was crowded because of that game people had bag of quarters ready to play again but when it came to home consoles my brother showed me the genesis game he was so excited about it

EA... Why am i not surprised...

Fuck Activision. One of the best games ever.

That montage in the middle about people finally recognizing how great the game is still makes me tear up. What a wild ride.

Great episode, I'm subscribing here and on your socials

female narator voice makes me puke , thumbs down

EA behind the death of something? how shocking! i couldnt see that one coming xD

What game is it from?

Oh thanks! I've been looking for this game from my youth. Not this version, but the Amiga version. But I recognized it immediately when I saw it. Somehow never found it before. Never got far as a kid, but it stayed in my memory. Finally get to check it out again, cheers.

I call it the Cursed Era of gaming. Games felt the same no matter what

This is a game that is ALWAYS in my mind and FOREVER in my heart. Whenever I reinstall my operationg system, Vampire Bloodlines is the first game I install on it with the latest version of the wonderfully made Unofficial patch that resurrects this flawed masterpiece. An yes, it is 2024, a new year, and an old familiar chill down my spine as I click on the icon right at this moment.

Interesting. There are games that change when you install each of them (total war:warhammer 1, 2 and 3).

Just another reason on the infinite list to not buy stuff touched by EA.

One of my favorite games of all time. I discovered it, all the way back in the early 2010's, as a high schooler. Already there were unofficial patches for the game, but I had no idea. I ran it raw, and while it was messy and needed lots of help, I still had a decent time. With the UP it just became glorious. Running a Clan Quest Mod playthrough at the moment and honestly, VTMB is a cultural icon and a monument to over two decades of hard work and passion, by devs and modders. It's aesthetics and themes practically define my personal tastes and fashion nowadays. I doubt any devs or modders will ever see this comment, but I did want to share my enthusiasm and thanks. It was, and is, amazing.

Still remember the sisters having a fight. Excellent writing.
