There is a HoMM sale currently going on GOG. Which games are worth getting and why?
>>333600558
I, II, III Complete
IV is polarising, and thus optional
V if you liked III, preferably with expansions.
>>333600558
1-5 are all good, memesters will tell you 4 is bad but it really ain't.
7 after patches is passable.
>>333600558
Correct list, from best to worst:
>3
>5
>4
>2
>1
>6
>7
>>333601114
7 after patches is objectively better than 1 and 6 and maybe 2
>>333601178
7 is not better than 2 or 1, but I will admit that after patches I did struggle to chose if 6 or 7 should be last.
>people actually think V is good
Jesus christ, y'all need to die in a fire.
The best part about 7 is that they're finishing those two H4 campaigns that never made it to H4 due to 3DO sinking.
>>333601289
>is not better than 2 or 1
You have to be deluded not to put 1 at the bottom. Literally all games H6 included are better than 1. Replay it and stop being blinded by nostalgia, I did last year. It aged like milk.
As for 7, I can argue whether its better than 2 but it's most definitely better than 1 and 6. And they're still not done updating it and adding content.
Basically just 2 and 3, with expansions.
>>333600978
>memesters
>7 is passable.
>>333600558

Tell me more. Were they vanilla campaigns?
>>333601604
>7 is passable
>hey if i take it out of context then it will sound bad
The keywords are "after patches".
>>333601651
You can jump straight into 3
>>333601689
Yep.

What is wrong in the world today
>>333601978
If you're a graphicsfag you should play 6 or 7 seeing as 5 looks like ass.
Honestly while still pretty damn weak, 6 after patches was passable and 7 provided they continue aggressively patching it like they've been doing so far may even become great. Not to mention seeing as you're a newfag you probably won't even realize why people think 6 and 7 are worse.

1, 2 and 3 are mentioned as the best in the series according to the Heroes principle (the game you played as the first is the one you think is best).
Few of us like 4. It may have the best music, but that's it.
Many think 5 is great, I personally never got into it, it felt too small and dumbed down, which was just obscured by the graphics.
Never cared about 6 or 7 so can't tell.
Whatever you do, be sure to play 3. It's a 10/10 game, one I've played the longest in single player by far.

REMINDER MIGHT & MAGIC SERIES IS ON SALE ON GOG
THAT INCLUDES THE GOAT M&M RPGs
https://www.gog.com/game/might_and_magic_6_limited_edition
M&M6 is the best deal since it actually also comes with M&M4 and 5 in full speech version aka World of Xeen
>>333600558
basically all of them.
Even 4 is fundamentally good.
It is just a piss soaked rag that is slapped in your face if you fell in love with homm1/2/3, much like supreme commander 2.
Problem is, they take a tremendous amount of time, if you would buy all you could feasably play them for 2 years, going with a playtime of 2-3 hours a day.
best are 3 (best base game, EXP are better and worse) and 5(good from the start, probably the best with both EXP).

>>333600558
/v/ has generally to much of an echo chamber opinion on the series.
All of them apart from 1 is good enough to play. 1 is too dated.
I say this as someone that started with 2, but has played all of them extensively (apart from 4).
While 2 is good, 3 is generally just a straight upgrade. The SP campaign is terrible though.
4 is very different, so you can skip it for now.
5 is similar to 3, although lacking in some areas while being better in others. Campaign is better than in 3, but is pretty dumb/cheesy with some poorly designed missions. Overall though 5 is pretty average
6 does some things well, some things poorly. It's a pretty mixed bag. Do I recommend it? Yes. But preferably play the DLC/expansions for it, mainly Dance Macabre and Shades of Darkness, since they're far more polished and enjoyable. You get them in the complete/gold or whatever editions of the game.
7 is also good.
My personal favs are 2, 7, 3, 6 in no particular order. If you're mainly interested in SP however then you should just look at Heroes 6 and 7.
Also, I don't know if GoG has it and while it isn't a proper Heroes game, Clash of Heroes is a good and underrated M&M game.

7 after patches is passable.
As in, just pass it by and never look back.
Patches can't fix terrible map design, barely functioning AI, clunky editor and a hodgepodge of game mechanics from previous games without any real vision.
Maybe it will become better after an expansion or so. Maybe. 6 took a ton of patches to become okay and 5 wasn't really good until 3.1 (but it got really good in the end).
Speaking of 6, it's okay if you view it as this sort of King's Bounty single-player adventure RPG-TBS, since that's what it excels at: single-player campaigns. Several key design choices in it preclude it from being at all decent competitively, but the campaigns are really really good.

How to tell a blind nostalgiafag: the post.
IV and VI tried to take the franchise in different directions and while they haven't succeeded, they're worth a look. V is kind of a community darling at this point, in everything besides visuals it's an upgrade of 3.
Any notes on M&M 7 8 and 9?
I already own 1-6.

"Let's replace gameplay with scripted storyline events"

Whats with eastern europe and loving older games so much that they constantly make mods for them?
>>333603772
>"Let's replace gameplay with scripted storyline events"
Oh you were talking about campaign.
Serious question, who the fuck cares about campaign in Heroes games?
I've been playing Homm 3 with the hd mod recently and I've noticed that the "flavour text" notices when activating buildings in the world and picking up artifacts, is there any way to bring them back?
I just enjoy hoMM threads for the skeleton pictures
Any of you guys played Disciples 2 back in the day? That shit was great in terms of artstyle and gameplay, it rivals homm3 in most aspects.
>>333603921
Got a problem with that?
>there are people IN THIS THREAD RIGHT NOW that bought HOMM3 on Steam
>>333603460
And that's why you try to take down the Necro players on big maps as fast as you can.
>>333603832
>Is HoMM fanbase autistic?
No, it's just stagnant. The games haven't been real hits in over a decade, people who still play the same damn game after all this time have a preferred way of playing and their own idea on what the game should be. Which is why the fanbase often seems like a self-sustaining echo chamber. To be fair though, there hasn't been a really good, polished-on-release Might & Magic game since 1999 either!
>>333603921
These are games they grew up with
Just like americans are obessessed with some dumb kid in green skirt, but unlike americans eastern europeans actually can mod their favourite childhood games.
>>333603876
Yes, right?
Lads how did our favorite childhood series go so far down the shitter?
Ubi?
>>333603685
7 is like 6 only better (some might argue with this) GET IT
8 is the same only worse
9 is trash
10 is kinda meh only for nostalgia after 4/5
>>333603932
Prepackaged scenarios aren't all that great either and there's so few of them. But if you don't see how replacing promised features with map-specific scripts isn't terrible for the game I don't know what to tell you.
>>333603959
In the HD launcher, go to Tweaks and find the line:
<UI.AdvMgr.SkipMapMsgs> = 1
Set it to 0
>>333604142
How about you stop memeing and echo chamber parroting and actually pirate it and try it now after the patches?
Protip: Most people that review games do so at release and never update to reflect patches (not that there's anything wrong with that, games should be polished on release).
The Might & Magic RPGs are great as well.
Not only Heroes.
>>333604003
No, hells no.

This is really untrue. The only "retro" thing about 10 is the tile-based movement they kept for nostalgia bait. In everything else, it's nothing like WoX. It's too linear whereas classic M&Ms pride themselves on open-endedness, for one

So if I only want to buy two games, they should probably be 3 and 5, right?
>>333604379
WHEN TIMES WERE GOOD AND THERE WAS MUCH REJOICING
1 is just obsolete, no reason to pick it up unless you want a complete series collection.
2 is a good game, but the only thing it has over 3 is pixel charm.
3 is the golden standard to this day.
4 is experimental. That's the kindest thing I can say.
5 is a bit misguided, but still ended up being pretty great with expansions.
6 is a complete shitheap.
7 I don't even know, but its abysmal sales pretty much ensure we'll never get more.

>>333604142
Heroes of Might and Magic VII was so bad. And that's coming from someone who has played every game extensively since the third one, and enjoyed all of them at least to a certain degree.
>>333604245
It's an awful game, anon. I didn't find VI that dreadful, although on release it was a buggy piece of shit (It was literally not playable for me at all. It had some weird framerate issue related to my computer mouse drivers). Despite the issues I still had some fun with it later on, the campaigns are alright if a bit repetitive, and the various races all have their own unique things that really makes them differentiate from each other.
VII gets rid of this for some reason. The units don't have enough of a difference to make them unique, and therefore makes all the races feel really samey. It somehow also manages to look worse graphically than the sixth game which makes no sense to me, and the campaign is dreadfully boring. It's the ONLY game I have ever refunded on steam, and the only HoMM game I have never finished entirely.
Stop calling it an echo chamber just because the general opinion differs from your own. Plenty of people on /v/ have experience with the series.
>>333604162
>some might argue with this
Damn right I will. It's quite a bit shorter than 6, doesn't have as memorable dungeons and it somehow replaced the whole color palette of 6 with brown and more brown.
>>333604628
They don't reveal changelogs until patches come out so no idea, they just said it's coming in first half of April.
>>333604381
I know angels were the shit but landing a full charge with one of these and demolishing an archer stack was still fun
>>333604521
>>333604562
Better than the rest of the units in the faction, sure, but not better than the faction as a whole.
They're just a great supplement to the already completely broken faction.
>>333604692
cheers.
>tfw playing as this evil motherfucker in Winds of War
>all that flavor text of death and destruction wherever he goes
Too bad the campaign epilogue was the same for all factions. Especially considering how balls out the last mission is.
>>333603557
Don't get MM9, MM8 is even questionable, MM8 is when 3DO took over and basically completely fucked it, 7 and 6 are amazing, 8 and 9 are pretty garbage.
>>333604780
8 was just a smaller, more casual 7 (which was already smaller and casual but I digress). Don't lump it with 9.
>>333604662
>It somehow also manages to look worse graphically than the sixth game which makes no sense to me
Engine change.
H6 was on proprietary Blackhole engine by Blackhole Studios but since the studio died, the engine died with them.
H7 is on Unreal Engine 3. The texture/model quality is on par with H6 and even better in places but UE3 simply doesn't have as good shaders as Blackhole engine did.
Also you still keep judging it based on release version which is radically different from how it is now after patches. Just fucking pirate it and see for yourself.
>>333604728
Come on, the ghost dragon is literally the worst or second worst t7 unit in the game, while the DK is first tied with the naga.
>>333600978
Me and my friend tried to play 4 after many years of playing only 3. It was so bad we just couldn't.
Funny thing is both of us used to like it before we played so much 3.
Personally I don't like any other heroes than 3 anymore, though I haven't tried anything past 5.

So you like it because it's different and because you refuse to adap to something new, thanks for proving my point, nostalgianigger.
Which is best solely for playing online against a friend? We already had our fill of 3 though.
>>333604870
Patches aren't going to fix the campaign being boring, units suddenly being unique, and the general flow of the game. I have no faith in that game suddenly being good after some bug/balance patches when the core of the game was that flawed back from the start.
>>333604959
I don't even understand what you are trying to say.
>>333604890
Read my post again, I agree that the Dread Knights are better than the other units of the faction, but a faction is more than its units.

You know what keeps me off modern 3D HoMM?

>>333604959
Hokay so now I'm assuming you missed the word "don't" there. Maybe you didn't understand my first post fully so here is another attempt at explaining.
4 was my first heroes and I liked it a lot. Then me and my friend moved on to try other heroes games, most notably 3 which we got stuck on for a long time. We tried going back to 4 after years of playing only 3 but we couldn't as it felt so much worse game overall.
>you don't like it because its different and because you refuse to adapt
So this is not the case at all, considering we had played plenty of it before. We both actually loved heroes being part of the battle and all that. Music was great too.

>I think there's quite a bit wrong with paying Ubisoft for games they didn't make.
They own the rights to it so there is nothing wrong with paying them (and GoG) for them.
The devs already got payed while they were working on the game and the publisher 3DO were the ones that got money from sales back then (a game they didn't make).
So basically what you're saying it's pretty much never "right" to buy games since the devs don't get your money? How old are you?
>>333606804
Better than 1 and 6
So acceptable really.
>>333606918
How is that a valid point? If he bought the games at release the devs didn't get any money either.

Absolute nostalgia, I still remember screenshots of russian facebook with some group about Dune 2 for mega drive with 20k people in it, and on top of that one of the files was some kind of a stand alone port of the original game for the pc.

Only devs deserve money, not ubishit. They just rape and ruin franchises, its like throwing your money down the drain. Btw not the guy who you are replying to, 27 yo here.
>>333607035
If he bought the games on release the devs get to make another game=they do get money. Buying it 15 years later means fuck all.
>>333601114
Correct list, although I'd put 5 and 4 on the same level.
HoMM4 is actually a pretty good game, just not the sequel to HoMM3 the fans wanted.

The devs already got paid with a monthly salary back when they made it. They didn't get anymore money post release from sales.

That's not true at all and I hopefully don't have to get into why. Just stop and think for a second.

>Horn of the Abyss (fanmade semi official expansion)
Never heard of it. How does it compare to Wake of Gods? The latter introduced alot of overpovered shit, but I thought most of it was cool and it reignited my interest in the game for a while.

>>333607431
so according to you they did not get any salary past making homm 1? I guess I must have imagined all the later titles, my bad.
>>333607516
HotA is like an actual official expansion.
If it came out in the 90s you wouldn't know it's fanmade.
>>333607392
It's kinda sad how much people shit on 2070 when it was such a great game.
>>333607392
Never bothered with the whole series, but the 1701 disk still lies on my shelf, I guess that german school of strategy games is always pretty hippie when it comes to waging war, but do any other games of the series have actually interesting combat?
I'm actually about to throw on V. I've played 3 on and off since it came out. Any good resources on maps? I love team games, I remember not seeing any last I checked.
>>333603450
That looks neat. Never heard of that one. There's a ton of people making shit for this game.
>>333604447
That pic is so autistic, but it is true.
>>333607605
So, no units that can level up or ability to destroy and then rebuild towns? Closer to vanilla in terms of mechanics?
>>333607939
Yep.
-New fully playable town – Cove.
-New war machine – Cannon. Available at Cove’s Blacksmith
-New artifacts and artifact sets
-New banks and conservatories
-New types of map objects
-New heroes
-Towns change their appearance, depending on Fort level
-Map editor
-Support for bigger map sizes (Huge, XHuge and Giant)
-A lot of balance fixes (like finally nerfing the necromancers or making life easier for Tower and Inferno)
-A lot of RMG fixes (for example, removing all sea elements from non-sea random maps)
-A lot of graphical fixes (like, really a lot… original game had plenty of graphical bugs)

Honestly not really. The main focus of the games were to colonize and they're all lacking in the war mechanics.
Guys, I have been searching for this map for years and I still cannot find it, I'd greatly appreciate it if you can throw in some ideas if you remember it.
It was for H3 and the whole map was shaped like the logo of the game, the shield with the gryphon icon on it, and it was pretty big, L or XL maybe and had all of the top end neutrals units (Azure & Crystal dragons and so on). Thanks in advance.

>so according to you they did not get any salary past making homm 1?
Developers get paid to develop. It's extremely rare (basically unheard of) for a dev to get any money post release from sales.
Also they will generally not get hired again unless the game sells really well and even then that's not a guarantee for numerous reasons.
You just come off as some edgy ignorant juvenile.
Whats this about HoMM7 getting patches? What did they fix?
>>333608357
It got 7 major patches and they are still patching it. The devs pretty much said Ubisift gave them no budget and no dev time to make the game so now they're finishing it in their own time post-release.
>>333601178
Fuck off, Ubishill. Nobody wants that shitty game.
>>333608513
>i havent played it but its shit lol xD
>>333602095
>vanilla 3
Well maybe because other people live in a world where complete edition exists. You should try that too.
>>333608459
That sounds good, i wanted to believe in HoMM7 but i haven't played it since i bought it. Anything real major change? Like HoMM6 got town screens and what not
>>333601386
V IS good. It just really didn't bring anything new to the table, which is also fine. I liked the expansions, I liked the abilities and the "just one more turn" factor is still present, unlike 6 or 7.
>>333608608
Read the thread. One of the two H4 campaigns came out in terms of major content, since that's a fuckton of map models based on H4, H4 heroes, H4 music and such.
>>333608343
Are you just plain retarded or do you not realize that you just proved my point? If the game does well they get hired again. That is why you buy the game at release and not 10 years later on a sale when they already quit the company.
>>333601403
Nigga, shut up.
1 has NOT aged like milk, it just lacks options. It has the same charm as it had back in '95.
>>333608459
That's sad
>>333600558
Can't go wrong with 3 and 5with expansions.
4 is kinda different than the rest.
6 has dumbed down cities and resources.
Haven't played 7 enough to say anything about it because the campaign bugged on the second mission I tried.

>>333602560Hi Sandro
>>333603238
My biggest problem with 6 is how fucking BORING it is. The new factions were ass, it lacked interesting features, it lacked the "one more turn" factor and was literally the FIRST HoMM game that whenever I reinstall, I end up playing for less than an hour before I just can't do it anymore.
6 is very pretty and very polished, but neither of those things make it a fun game.
HoMM 5 has it's moments. Some hero builds were really satisfying to pull off.

You don't understand, there is no Disciples 3.
Most threathening/scariest enemy to face in the series?
Pic related triggers my PTSD, i think you should restart if you ever lose a battle against these things

this was pic related

When I was a kid, I thought mighty gorgons were scary. That little animation when their death stare activates spooked the shit out of me.

>>333610462
Is this the most unfitting theme in the entire series? I almost thought that the game somehow messed up and got the music wrong.
Also, Price of Loyalty music was GOAT:
