It would be nice to think in terms of grey, but often it just isn't realistic. I can understand those who feel disappointed by lack of balancing and features. Perhaps in a way, we are to blame as well for putting the game on such a high pedestal that it could not possibly meet our expectations?
No,it was 3DO that put the game on such high grounds,not us.It was them that knew what we liked.And I do look this game with grey glasses.Its just average.But the previous sequels were outstanding,and thats what bothers me.

Of course they could have but Blizzard has just released what number patch for Diablo2 (love that game and the 1st). So i'm going to assume that Heroes V will be getting tweaked for ages to come. The good thing for me is that the game already has a good setup. the story can be changed without a problem, the character stats can be changed, hell, just about anything can be changed come to think of it. Once UBI comes out with the Map editor, it will silence a lot of the nay sayers. But of course to those that complain about the game ad nauseam, there is always M&M9 (hehehehehe)
It doesnt matter whats the version number.Diablo was great when it came out,and it gets better with every patch.Some games get greatly improwed by patches,even if unplayable upon release(HIV).But when its average upon release,and patches bring as much bad as good things,a game cannot be considered awesome.Average at best.

Agree, I also think some of us, if not all had too high exeptations for the game, its their first game after all, have it been their third HOMM game, I would understand the complaints and bashing a bit more.
So what if its their first heroes game?They are a serious company,not some slackers that appeared out of nowhere.They bought a well established game,and knew that along with great number of buyers comes great responsobility to make the game that appeales to them.They knew how big the fan base was for this game(thats why they bought it after all),so if they didnt think they are up to the task,they shouldnt have bought it in the first place.Besides,kings bounty was the excelent,even though there was no previous games like that.
