The Heroes Round Table

Nice preview, 2 months to go...!

Nice work

I'm glad they're using 2 months on it. far better than using 1 month on it.



Why do people forget why H4 was such a flop so quickly? Games need TIME.

1) Skill system rocks, Ubi excelled here as heroes feel far more active in combat than in H3, without the issues of H4. Very good compromise between RPG and TBS elements. 2) Initiative bar instead of stupid turns - makes far more sense, and makes the game more strategic since creatures are not garun...

Have to agree with the thread starter here - while I agree with Gus about the guide not being quite so complete, going on and on about it for 3 pages isn't helping. If someone shows me a crappy car design, I can tell him NICELY what is wrong with it, instead of spitting in his face for trying. Attit...

MAYBE the liches are just able to CONTROL their magic, so that the acid is only aimed at enemies...



Nah... that makes too much sense to be true...



And vampires with sword would be fine if and only if they still said "blah" when they attacked.

Hydras only take two turns to cross the field. Of course it's easy to fight them as neutrals - you have focus your ranged troops and spells on them. But in an army, they are deadly - you know they are coming, but you have to focus on other shooters first, and then the fast creatures... and the hero ...

It's amazing how a few extra full stops can imply so much... I think it's ok for me to say i was in the Heroes 5 beta, but I didn't get into this one. Shame really, since I'm actually really looking forward to DMoMM. Oblivion is great though - if you like RPG's that is. If you think it isn't deep en...

Well, people at E3 said it gave them the same impression as oblivion did => looks good for DMoMM. For H5, despite its flaws, to do so well in terms of sales means that DMoMM certainly has the potential to be a real winner for Ubisoft and Arkane. Looks like Ubi made a good choice on this one, and wit...

I imagine deathmatch and team match will both be supported (deathmatch is easy to implement if you have teammatch, and the prescence of priests/healers strongly suggests teammatch).

They may have other gametypes too, but I don't know what (capture the flag? infiltration?)

It's DEFINITELY Illegal atm, HOWEVER, once the map editor is out, all bets are off. You can probably edit a map, add in a small detail or two (like editing bad grammar :P) and be fine to pass it on to others (though you can't claim it is entirely your own work of course, (or sell it for profit, as w...

I'm glad they made it heroes of might AND magic - the segregation between the two "Schools" in previous games was annoying at times.



Good review

IRT Paradox - they also said with Map Editor release will come the ability to create even larger maps than the current biggest.

(Jeez, that was some bad english on my part)

Yeah... I've been incredibly suprised by what Ubisoft has done with the title - while the 2 games (H5 and DMoMM) clearly owe much of their success to their developers, they've also evidently been well-marketed, to get #1 PC game at E3 (means DMoMM got lots of coverage) and for H5 to be 3rd top selli...

Great to see you back

Some screenshots might help identify the problem, but I'd agree with the above suggestion of checking DirectX version first.

^^ yeah, I agree, anime is far different from what H5 is. And the RoL demo was terrible, imo - just more of the same, usual RTS junk. You'd think they'd try something new, like ES did with AoE3 (home cities), but it still feels like a tryhard starcraft (tryhard because it doesn't feel as epic as sta...

@Daemian - did I hear incorrectly, or did you not just say you disagreed with patches being extensively tested for bugs, then state that they should only be released once they have been repeatedly tested to ensure that they work well? How is that not the same thing? :P Of course, we all agree there'...

Well, I can save, but when I go to load a game, the save isn't there... what could it be?

I can't believe the best of them all, H2 expansion, got such poor reviews. Of all my memories I have, that was the best for it's time. Of course, it's much less playable now

Ok, here's some facts about Oblivion in reply to the near-flaming (negative comments based on heresay): (1) Rund BEAUTIFULLY on my P4 2.4GHz, X800pro system. Looks like 1000* better than H5. EVERY LINE of speech is voice acted, with full lip-synching. (2) AI is excellent, near human at times. (3) Ga...
