The Heroes Round Table

The latin-derived languages are farther away from English than the Germanic languages. The different tones and pronunciation of these languages make it more difficult to speak English without any noticeable accent. It's not just French, but Spanish and Italian as well. The situation is similar for G...

@jeff:



Not that I have nothing with French people, but you rarely see one that can speak distinguishable English, while most other Europeans have no problem even imitating certain English accents. Why is that I have no clue.

I have to say it is disappointing to see the exact same things in this game; a few unguarded resources and a some guarded ones. ..and what looks like some structures to up your stats.





So, what did you want to see?

No, aesthetics is a term of fine arts and is OBJECTIVE. Everyone that has studied in such a course knows that. Everything else is a lame excuse to name aesthetically correct -or even art- literally anything. No, aesthetics are clearly defined. For example, placing a pastel-coloured manga-like kiddo ...

Look, taste is subjective but stylistic aesthetics and creativity are not. And if we are to judge these, H3 was far better. More genuine, creative, definitive, stylish and consistent. Nothing overdone, nothing extreme, nothing too abstract, all forms clearly drawn and defined, more robust. These are...

Lol, nobody said we would prefer creatures to be 2D sprites from 3D rendering. It's not the technology that one misses but the departure in style, taste and creativity.

That cyclops actually looks fairly "normal". A little too muscled up, but not as bad as we have seen. Well, it looks more like a one-eyed cave troll but all right. Someone pointed out that if it has two arms, two legs and one eye is a cyclops, so I guess a troll with two eyes, two legs and...

Ugh! They look nothing like Heroes. Revamping is one thing, but completely changing the feel is another. Why did they had to do this and still call it a Heroes game? Well, because of the franchise, all right... maybe the thing that bothers me most is that in this screenshot the creatures look much l...

Got to say that the inferno troops do look consistent. To the point that I can't tell which is which...





Yes, that too.

References/tributes and copying are two different things. In order for something to be a reference, it must be: a. recognisable b. outspoken and clearly indicated c. consistent d. fitting inside the context So, tell me, how does Nation has anything to do with the Heroes universe? Because I don't rem...

I fear for the inclusion of trébuchet in Heroes.

That creature, behind, sure looks like errr... like-like from Zelda64:

The pic doesn't do the similarity justice, but those who played the game may understand.

Yet another original idea. Gaming has gone to another level of copying. What's next?

Surely the best looking creature by far. At last. The upgrade though is immoderately similar to the original; more than the other upgrades.

That would be a spoiled broccoli.

The army follows behind. We never get to see them in such games. Or maybe there is magic involved. Otherwise how would you pass 10,000 soldiers through a swamp or 100 dragons through a forest?

Even so, probably only one HVI unit fits the same criteria, which makes H3 upgrades 900% more original. :p

do you think Homer ever met a cyclops before he wrote the Odyssey ? Golly, it's a creature he is the first to mention. Actually, he is not a creature, he is a gigantic human with one round eye. That's very specific. In a bit you are going to say that if it had two eyes it could pass for a giant or a...

Well, pretty much cyclopes were described in ancient mythology so we CAN say what a cyclops should look like. And I certainly don't remember any description not mentioning they were like humans only with a round eye in their forehead. Nor do I remember any horns and fat and muscles to the limit. It ...

I will give you a list and take a good look at them: Swordsman/Crusader Angel/Archangel (they are both male, btw) Mage/Archmage Genie/Master Genie Gog/Magog Hell Hound/Cerberus Devil/Archdevil Wyvern/Wyvern Monarch Hydra/Chaos Hydra Centaur/Centaur Captain Dward/Battle Dwarf Troglodyte/Infernal Trog...
