No, they can't. They are working on Overlord 2, and a Overlord spin off...

They'll still need to work on patches, etc. (Almost) no game is flawless from the initial release.

Yeah, and probably some sort of DLC as well. You can still wait for a loooooooong while...

That's what people were saying before 3.1 as well, and yet it was released. Very late, but still...

I was also hoping for some kind of third expansion with the naga. But, hopes and chances are slimmer and slimmer :(

'In discussions' to me means that HoMM 6 would seem to be moving forward; but could still fall though. Why would you wait this long before taking up 'discussions'? And did we fans ruin Nival's chance for HoMM 6?

Pls, critical reception is nothing compared to sales... and 2 expansions that added more then just a few neutrals and some other crap (looking at you H4, SoD was another time) = good enough sales.

What's all this about "it was their first try at Heroes"? No excuse -- they clearly did not understand what made the game popular. The botched beta made it clear that some poor design decisions had been made from the start. Had this been the first version of Heroes, the developer can be forgiven for not getting it right. But these guys had FOUR previous versions to look at plus an active player community to consult, but they ignored that and put out something that disappointed many eager customers.
Before you criticize someone, first walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you'll be a mile away. And you'll have their shoes.

How many? Like 2 out of 10 which, actually, never gave a real try on the game?

I think he meant people who had given a very real try to the NWC HoMM games (and game editors) and did expect something at a similar level.

@Caradoc: What's your point? H5 is still way more popular than H4. So NWC with their all-mightiness made an even crappier game even after working on three heroes games before.

There will always be some nostalgic people who will never accept anything different in terms of game mechanics than H3, that doesn't mean the developers will make the same game over and over again. Just accept and try something different, otherwise just play H3.

And yes I know H5 is very similar to H3, and the fact that it is more popular than H4 proves my point that most people are simply nostalgic and won't accept any major change in terms of gameplay.

*this nostalgic Heroes III die-hard fan remains to be more than happy with the aforementioned game, and will keep even making new maps for the NWC masterpiece*
Don't worry if things are going badly today. They will be much worse tomorrow.
