The Heroes Round Table

Arantir is wunderbar actually. He starts with great skills, and his special power is awesome.

It is stand-alone, yes.

Ornella is... interesting. I like Arantir. Funny though, when you begin the first mission with him... he is level 1. Extremely powerful necromancer indeed...

The ultimate judge of the game is whether it appeals to its intended consumers. The Gamespot reviewer is but one of them (which is why I put little stock in what game reviewers say; their tastes and mine rarely coincide.) Gamespot's own records indicate most gamers on their site, who voted, like the...

"I disagree. The intro scene made no sense, the graphics blew, and they didn't tell you how to pay the freaking game. "



True, not true, and as it was an expansion, why should they? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know how to play it, plus it had a nice manual.

Hmm this might be one MMORPG I will actually play.

ToE deserves roughly a 7 - 7.5, not 5.5. Evidently, players rate it at around 8.0. Whatever the reviewers problems with the game are, they do not seem to be bothering the players. The inclusion of alternate upgrades plus the fact that it is stand-alone are enough for me to give it a 7. One may insis...

Well Deleb was a bit on the overpowered side... what has her ability been reduced to?

Nevermind, I had the wrong impression in mind.

Incredible that idiots like this get to review for Gamespot. Ho hum.



However, if one has a look at the critic and user score, the game is in the region of 8.0 or so, which is where I'd rate it too. Simply put, the reviewer can be ignored.

One word: eBay.

I am seriously hoping this is not the last patch for HoMM V. I am displeased by many of the changes to basic units that took place in ToE...

My complaint with TOE so far is some of the questionable rebalancing that has been done (e.g. LESS mana for the Matriarch? the Mistress is better than her as it is.) Nothing other than that, yet.

'I've spoken my mind, I think TT can take it and I think that he even enjoys these things a bit.'



Are you suggesting he's a sadomasochist? :p

Dull review. Could've said more.

I might just buy this, depending on price.

If I feel the sudden urge to burn some brain cells, I'll give this thread a read... :s

"No offense but, those people should, above all, get a life..." Seconded. It'd be nice if most companies simply offered a basic version of the game, i.e. the lowest priced one, then offered the option of adding additional features to the box at a price. Collectors editions already do this,...

That is analogous, how? How many gamers honestly read manuals btw?



I doubt removing them from their boxes will cost them game producers fanbase... If Ubi is experiencing lower sales it would probably be for other reasons.

They have a bit more than that. IMO, if all you want is a printed manual, print it out yourself.
