Really glad I havent bought this game

Unread postby Kranyum » 12 Feb 2012, 12:03

I am still playing Heroes 3 and 4.

Heroes 5 was such a piece of shit game and is now forgotten.

Heroes 6 follows closely.

A real shame that they have ruined the series.

In my opinion, Heroes V was a great game, and is not forgotten.
Heroes VI is nice too, although I play it less often than I did with V.

You mention you did not buy it so how can you judge the game?

You are missing out on quite a bit. At the very least, you're missing out on playing about 20 hours worth of campaigns. The 100+ hour factor's not in the game, but to be honest Heroes VI keeps you entertained for longer than most other games will, and it's always nice to play a fresh new game with new mechanics. I guarantee you'll go back to Heroes 3/4 after a while, but you should definitely get Heroes VI - it is a really fun game.

I am willing to wait on the final judgment on H-VI, and though you haven’t bought it the mass of public opinion can color ones thoughts on the game. However his verdict on H-V is dead on IMHO. After you play the maps and campaigns supplied with the game (to be honest I never played anything but the campaign) a Heroes game is made or lost on the maps made by the fans. Here H-V fails miserably and H-VI seems destined to the same fate. While the H-V editor was powerful, it was far too difficult to use for many of us and that left many of the early mapmakers to feel left out. The H-V campaign editor ability was horrible, but it is superior to the H-VI campaign editor (it doesn’t exist). The H-V experience was so poor that I have not bought any Heroes product after the initial H-V, though I did put HOF on my Amazon wishlist and my daughters bought it for me. Several of us older mapmakers are returning to H-III and H-IV to make new maps on these older but better chapters of Heroes rather than waste time and money on what appears to be a poor product. Unless something dramatic happens then UBI has ruined the Heroes series for me.

If you can get it at 50% its definitely worth your money. Not to mention they will probably fix some more stuff soon.

Right now it is much better than the initial release. They've fixed most of the major bugs and the Campaigns are playable now.

It's only sad for the fans that were ripped 40 Euros for a game that was unplayable for 2 months.

Just be warned! No fan maps! No Mods! No Random Maps! No Simultaneous turns! Stupid skill tree! Copy-paste towns! Sounds really bad... but hey at 50%...worth your money.

It is MANY MANY more hours for me. Maybe you can get 20 hours if you play on Easy and using the best/fastest way. For me, I have not measured exactly, but I have not even finished half of the game, and the hours I played are at least 30-40!

I do agree, HOMM 2 and 3 was definitely the best.
The graphics in 5 and 6 only contributes to ruin the game. Still playable, but I would love it if it was possible to play with HOMM 3 graphics!

That is a risky strategy; it assumes they will in fact fix things. ;| Also it rewards the company even though they released the game before it was ready.

I think what will settle it is the work they do on the editor(s). If that gets better (a lot better), there is every chance the game can be a big success with the fans creating lots of maps of different types.

Game mechanics would need some pruning as well. Not mentioning the iffy online philosophy.

Current situation it's a pitty, in every case.

Pruning? You mean remove more resources, and lower the number of factions? Nice! :-D
