BAK is bad for the same reason HoMM1 is bad.
It had the right things, but in an undeveloped product. The graphic is terrible, the controls are lame, all detail is out of its place.
At the time of the Might and Magic series the environment was developed adequately to do all things right finally, but praising BAK today is mumbling about Charlie's Angles or something: you know it exists, you know the remake wouldn't exist without it - but you don't want it out of the vitrine.

Dear yoga, some misunderstanding there:
I only said HoMM 1 is bad. I consider the series (at least the 2nd and 3rd installment) very good games.

And no, I don't compare today graphic to old graphic. I have nothing against old graphic. But when someone has an intention, but only makes (in the case of BAK for lack of sufficient technology) something what not reaches the expectations, than I consider it bad.
Like look at the mountains of BAK. They are TERRIBLE. And while you move in real-time, the monsters are standing static. And so on.
Now compare BAK to like Might and Magic 6. They are practically the very same game. Same colour, same graphic, same free-roaming stuff, same gaming-engine, but MM6+ just look FINISHED, while BAK is like an alfa-test.

Ah!

But what of me, my dear YAGROO!

Long time no speak, eh Sir Vla... --er, Yoga? (using yoga for your privacy concerns, fair sir.)

Many centuries past have gone, but to reach this one climax of World History...--!

HELLO ALL!!

I HAVE RETURNED!!!!!!!!



However, in my absence, i have given up the good fight.

I am no longer my gaming self, nor foruming self, for i have many other things which i like to do, and feel as if gaming (and occasionally, even foruming) are large wastes of time.

That said, it's always nice to have a little fun once in a while and talk with friends!

So don't expect me to be fanatic about it, but sure, i'm here to talk sometimes or play the occasional game

In the past, i have gotten stressed over preserving every thing i do on forums, etc.

There's really no need to worry about that lol.

So anyhow...

YAGROO!! Long time, my old friend! Very long time. Surely, you remember days past in which we e-mailed each other like Good Pen Pal buddies, hm?

I do apologize for anything i might have said in the past... especially if what you were trying to tell me was indeed, true.

But let's let the past be a bygone, eh?

Still friends, my good man?

*achemm*

Also, a shout out at Smiling Spectre, my other cool buddy. Long time no talk, man!

Lastly, to my other friends on this forum, i wish you well and say hello to you once again



TO ALL THOSE WHO WOULD LISTEN, LET IT BE KNOWN THAT HE HAS RETURNED!!!

Okay, maybe i'm making all this a bit too grandiose. Anyway, nice to see you guys again

Later :P

Oh dear, i have just realized the nature of my grievance, in that worst way of shifting the entire thread in my direction when i should have posted a new thread...

Admin, feel free to transfer my posts to a new thread...

Otherwise, my sincere apologies, Mr. Yoga.

Fallout 2

Running with the patched version, completing every single thingies - then just before I could leave to Enclave the save-file goes corrupt, because the game is bugged BY THE PATCH.

Phantasmagoria (1)

I find every single secret and literally trying everything, when turns out my CD4 is corrupt.

Diablo 2, online

With monthes of work, just before the end of the season, I complete my build with all the ladder-only item, when a *#@ decides it is time to try if (s)he can PK.

Robocop

This was back in the C64 times. Noone, and mean NOONE was able to finish that game in the factory. I ran again and again (back than if you died you had to play the WHOLE GAME ALL OVER, no saves), trying to pass that. I was running, not caring for my armor, shooting like madman with the joystick, finding all the good stuff to kill the enemies - I finally see the bloody EXIT, and I even have armor to suffer 1 more bullet - than thuh, timer runs out.
