Quote from Wikipedia - Might and Magic VIII was released to a universally average reception, and was generally regarded as surprisingly inferior to previous titles in the series, though still a passable game.
IGN praised the game's rendered cutscenes, storyline, setting and background along with its overall consistency and expansion on the Might and Magic universe, noting these as particularly strong points, but was disappointed with in-game graphics and the reused engine's low modern capabilities, citing these as pitiful compared to other, more modern RPGs .I think people were stark mad - why don't they went ahead and tried to find some other game as worthy as MM8 ? Ok -it is not as great as MM7, but it is a marvelous game anywhere. You can't expect every composer to be a Mozart or Michael Jackson at their best ,heck, you can't expect Mozart to be at his best all the time. I don't want to call anyone for a spoiled brat,but people can display spoiled brat attitude .
Now when many genious and talented producers are gone,exchanged with strongly commercialized game development in the whole, it is obvious that people should have shown more solidarity and support instead bashing critics
when they had opportunity for it.
