Great demo Smile

Its much more polished than i thought it would be.
Combat is excellent much better than oblivion combat.

u get to play prologue like a tutorial and part of the first mission which has been seen in the E3 video.
Roll on game release. Gonna be an amazing game.

just played it i liked the combat and the movement but the game is very linear i dont know why people compare this to oblivion totally different games. Demo was short but I enjoyed it ran smooth on my rig but bogged down in fights.

i wasnt comparing oblivion game to DM but the combat is similar.

The demo is about 10-20mins long i guess. Much shorter than it should be for a 1.4GB dl.

Yep, thats the biggest and SHORTEST demo I ever played. Graphics is...well, so so i must say. Gameplay not to bad, alot of physics to play with but...well I will whait for the full game. I have to say this but, Gothic 3 is out in early October and thats the one that will stick.

Yeah Gothic 3 will be excellent but this game is good at what it does and thats its basically a shooter but set in fantasy world with swords etc.

Hmmm good question...I feel it was all to blocky, now you will ask what does that mean. Well having played Oblivion and seen Gothic 3 vids...it just feels to crude, at least the demo did. The fighting is sure better then most RPG's but it just that...well feeling of blockiness...no refinement sort a. I cant say it better that that sorry. Its sort of reminds me of gothic 1-2 graphically sort a. Textures are ok but its just the movements and the way the characters move. I am sure it will be ok when its out, but the demo was a not really what I expected.

The demo ran really smooth on my rig, no problem what so ever.

Certainly a big step down in visuals from Oblivion. I am downloading the demo at the moment.

well graphics arent everything oblivion proved that. Graphics are a great bonus if the gameplay is up to par otherwise they are a bloody waste.

I'd rather play dark messiah than oblivion. After a few days play of oblivion i was starting to get bored of it. i stopped playing oblivion altogether after a month on my hdd.

I loved dark messiah demo i wanted to play more. I will be buying this game at release.
I think its a much better game.

The screenshots doesnt really do the game justice, you have to see it in action. It's just awesome, the source engine is really awesome! The HDR looks fantastic.

I can't believe the whiners in this thread, it's like you were expecting crysis level graphics or something.

Vampire Bloodlines is a classic to me.Yeah there is a lot of bugs but overall this is just an excellent game.

As for DM , it look like a more arcadish version of Oblivion to me after playing the demo.Of course it's short and the full version may be better but i was not impressed at all for a first impression.

Graphics are average and the gameplay looks very linear , from the quests to the skill system.Combat is alright but nothing revolutionnary (not that i expected it anyway).I probably will try the retail version once it come out but i don't expect to be blown away.

NWN2 and especially Gothic 3 are where it's at Cool

Indeed, DM is the combat-only version of Oblivion, nothing more really.

Good gameplay but I have this issue, I set GFX to medium-high @1024x768 (a LOT lower than my Half-Life 2 Episode 1 settings, could set it to high - 1280x1024???) ,game runs smooth but some parts are just slideshows, when I look at my feet it's normal and then I look up and it's 3-4fps? I don't know what's causing this???

Because it's inevitable

I didn't wanted to compare with Oblivion at first either but since it feel like a more arcadish version of it i cannot say otherwise.

The basis of the game is the same : first person action/RPG when it come to moving and combat.Expect people to at least compare them on that aspect.
