Heroes 1 was great
Heroes 2 was amazing
Heroes 3 was good but overrated
Heroes 4 was good but had flaws
Heroes 5 was great
Heroes 6 seemed good, i haven't played it that much though
Fucking RIP
>>342336595
I unironically liked homm 7. Fite me.Tough it could have been polished up better.
>>342337236
Silly anon, you forgot 7.
>>342336802
Me too, Anon.
Me too.HoMM 5 with expansions was actually good. Leave it to Ruskies to at least TRY despite Ubisoft trying to fuck it up.

>2 is good, but plays differently.

I want my comfy back.
Gothic.
It still hurts.
>>342337408
Both 4 and 5 were good despite their many differences to their predecessors. The transforming cities in 6 were an abomination and 7 was a bugged piece of shit at start.
>>342337379
i didn't even know there is 7 until now.
I mean they probably did deserve it.
>>342336595
Fuck Peter Molyneux
>>342337549
it was never good
sadly, game had charm and lots of cool ideas but the gameplay was bad, almost broken.
and BnW 2 was even worse.
oh look it's one of these threads
>>342337408
yeah 5 with the two expansions was pretty enjoyable. It felt like a slightly updated 3, which while nothing revolutionary, is still really fun
>>342337568
I am sorry for fucking up your day then.
god why
>>342337501
Nostalgia aside, AoW III is the best in the series though.
>>342337643
speak for yourself, I had shitloads of fun with both games and still replay them sometimes
>>342337703

>>342336595
Jagged Alliance.
>>342336595
There is a new one coming out this year but I have no idea how the hell it's supposed to hold up.
It's going to be a 5.5/10 game that absolutely no one remembers a year from now, except me because Spellforce is my all-time favorite game and I've been waiting for a worthy sequel for a while now, and all I'll likely get is a 5,5/10 game that absolutely no one remembers a year from now, except me.
>>342337869
TOR isn't a bad end for that series, especially with Revan's storyline getting wrapped up in it.
>>342337832
>had shitloads of fun with both games
me too, finished both multiple times. and i still say that the core gameplay (not fucking around for fun) is bad and broken.
most Westwood games fall under this thread, I guess
>>342336595
>They're making an expansion for Heroes VII
The sad thing is that retards will see the name and auto buy it day one. There will never be a good Heroes game ever again.

7th gen DA seems a blessing in comparison to where the series is now
>>342337924
flawless
>>342336865
I had a surprising amount of fun with that. I expected pure shit but it was actually a decent time waster.
the last game literally ended with a to be con-fucking-tinued
it's been 6 years and no development
>>342337829
I liked how there was 16 races to start with in Shadow magic, and that you could trade spells
>>342337986
>>342338015
>>342337986
>>342338015
At least the threads bashing it were fun;_;
>>342337957
In a vacuum it isn't even a bad game, I just really don't like that they went for an MMO instead of a proper rpg.
>>342337829
Can't really be nostalgia becausse I discovered AoW1 last year.
>>342337795
What do you mean why? Did you not like the ending :^)?!
>>342337778
Is it really that bad?
>>342338106
I feel like these games were too by-the-numbers and "Safe" to deserve to continue. nothing they did was really groundbreaking or amazing. the djinn shit was -neat-, but that's about it.

The only reason Golden Sun ever became anything aside from 100% forgettable is because the GBA didn't exactly have a huge library of big JRPGs that weren't ports from other systems.

>>342337280
I play and enjoy this still.
Here is my contribution.
I was going to say the Shining series (Shining Force or Shining in the Darkness and the like) but the games towards the end were absolutely awful.
>>342336595
i almost feel sorry for this
but really, who the fuck thought anything else would happen when you release it 2 weeks after ratchet and clank 2
>>342338260
I enjoyed the story though, it really bugs me that they ended it with a cliffhanger and a "the end?" and then never made anything else.
"Most accessible DoW yet"
"Less gritty and more colourful"
"CoH2 cover system is too complicated"
"DotA inspired hero system"
"Orbital Strikes get more powerful the more kills it does"
"Lascannons do more damage the longer they target something with it's constant BEAM"
Etc.
>>342338260
also
>bravely default got a sequel
>>342337236
>Heroes 3 was good but overrated
Get out you fucking Nostalgia-Hipster. I bet you never even played 1 + 2 because H3 was a vast improvement.
Everything went wrong here.
Well, maybe even way before that with Tactics.
>>342338381I like it.
>>342337236
Heroes 3 is superior to the first two in every way.
t. Person who actually played the first two
>>342338486
Bethesda made Fallout more successful and popular than Interplay would ever do.
>>342338364
>I enjoyed the story though,
i think i would have too if it weren't drowning under so much useless filler dialogue
>>342338417
to be fair bravely default suckered people in with an actual attempt to deliver classic FF gameplay that they'd been clamoring for tho.

Are the only problems there.
>>342338564
There was one thing that 2 did way better...
>The sound of Paladins choppin' dudes up.
It was so crunchy and awesome.
>>342338302
Man Risen 1 was such a comfy and fun game.
>>342338628
They didn't make it better.
>>342338157
>In a vacuum it isn't even a bad game
The same can be said for ANYTHING
In a vacuum, it is the only fucking game to ever exist.
>>342336595
UO and Ultima 9. Thank you EA
>>342338942
Not for you.
>>342338707
Franchise, anon.
While I guess you could call it a "Sim__" game, Spore wasn't a franchise of its own.
>>342337501

>>342338015
>>342337986
You do know that there's another """"dungeon keeper"""" game around with the very same voice actor right?
>>342337236
Yea I sure enjoyed that i can't take all stacks from town to one hero because muh less slots, scrolls were also retarded
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
>>342339050
I think you need to go back and replay that Truth or Opinion game again anon, you've some ways to go still.
>>342337829
I really liked it that AoW 1 kept city upgrading at a minimum and that there was no city founding at all.
The defender's advantages in 2 and SM were ridiculous, especially in shrines or magical dwellings.
In 3 the default race units were useless compared to the special units depending on the leader's class.
>>342337282
It looks like alpha but i do like few things they made like ability to choose tier 7 mob or that hero don't have random advanced and you can choose what you want
>>342337236
>Heroes 2 was amazing
Fuck, will reinstall and play again.
>>342338985

I finished HoMM II for the first time recently and while it's good, soundtrack aside it was definitely outdone by the sequel in practically every way. The super low resolution doesn't really help either when you're used to seeing a big part of the map at a time.
>>342338852
Lascannons have never worked as a beam which does more damage the longer it hits the target.
Never. It's described in multiple sources and they made it correctly in DoW 1 + Expansion, DoW 2 + Expansion and Space Marine. Yet changed it here? My ONLY thought is they mixed up Lascannons and Multimelta's, but they were 100% Lascannon models, my only thought is it was a fill in and the PR person was an idiot.
Lascannons don't work like that. They're cannons which fire lasers. They're a single shot beam, they're not a constant beam which burns through things by concentrating the beam on one one constantly.
>Las weapons fire packets of explosive laser energy – the larger the gun, the more
powerful the shot. Regardless of size, las weapons are incredibly reliable, making them
favoured tools of war throughout the Imperium.
>>342337280
Damn, I fucking loved Disciples 2. The first expansion had a very good campaign, Rise of the Elves however didn't impress me that much. Maybe I was just tired, I put like 400+ hours in the first 2 games.
>>342337236
Heroes 5 Tribes of the East was the best fucking thing that happened to Heroes 5 and it got such bad reviews... fucking why?
Also Dawn of War was epic and didn't deserve the shit it got.
>>342339405
War for the Overworld is amazing. I played it and completed it. It's Dungeon Keeper 2.5. Seriously worth getting if you liked DK.
Has everything even down to torturing enemies into converting to your side.
>>342339649
Does the game have the same "ambient" feel to it, with monsters and imp running down corridors, hating each other and all that?
The epitome of corporate mishandling an IP and it's fanbase.
Skating games
AoW Shadow Magic with fan patch is my favorite game. Anyways, AoW 1 is really so nice?

>>342339784
They go about their work, yes. In terms of the relationship stuff, I can't remember. I completed it when it was in EA. But I remember if they don't get paid, they get angry which can start fights. I think. Training in the arena, build a tavern to give out better food instead of just the pig pen stuff, build beast dens to get beasts to spawn, then build a beast arena for a beastmaster so you can train them. I think it also provides entertainment and a bit of gold as your units bet on fights.
It's comfy to build stuff up and has neat stuff like building a Vampire lair which requires you to sacrifice things to summon it and it is incredibly powerful, but requires prisoners to eat.
It's also pretty difficult in some places, but it might have been fixed.
I really enjoy it. I need to check if anything has been updated.

The entire thing is fucked and I don't have the energy to go complain, they wouldn't listen anyway. The old Relic guys must not be there any more.
I new DoW3 was coming for a long time, but I didn't think it'd be ignoring the setting.
Icing on the cake is they've said the game is going to be an 'introduction' to the 40k setting. Which is totally what fans of 40k want, right?
>>342337549
that game came instantly to my mind while reading op. but i have to say i couldn't stand the second one.
>>342339643
Because it was made by Russians
>>342340293
DoW3 will be shit, but there's still BFG: Armada which is Warhammer as fuck and that Space Hulk shooter by the E.Y.E. guys.
>>342340192
Not even the fags were happy with that since you couldn't romance Garrus
>>342340296
2nd one had so much promise... so much promise...
I even remember them showing a video of controlling how tall you could make the towers on walls and shit, but it never happened.
In the end, the game is so easy as building comfy towns ends up winning everything anyway. No need for war. The whole "each faction has different equipment, upgrades, strengths and weaknesses" was bollocks too.
i used to be on the forum a lot, all the shit the dev's claimed. Like fishing, fishing boats, rock carvers (plonk a rock and they'll carve it), they had a statue maker or some shit which didn't require anything.
I still enjoyed it, but it wasn't what I expected.
>>342338486
New Vegas was good
>>342340458
But I don't want it to be shit. I've played 40k since Chaos Gates days... Final Liberation.... Now it's like you can't make games without them working on tablets/consoles or being 'appealing' to loads of demographics instead of those who actually like it.
The shit the Warhorse Studio CEO said in his Kickstarter blog video has come true after all....
>>342337280
>Disciples 3 was buggy, unfinished but at least somewhat enjoyable due to the constant enemy pressure
>Disciples 3 remake is finished, not that buggy but the dev removed from campaign maps periodic enemy spawns and made the AI utterly passive, leading to the game being tedious as fuck to play
It's always amazing to see all the ways a dev can fuck up his own game
>>342336595
Is that hard just to make normal HoMM game without dragon dildo blizzardesque faggotry?
>>342336595
Why? Heroes of Might and Magic 7 is better than Heroes 3. It also get continuous support with Patches and Addons.
Heroes 3 was for Necro players and babies first heroes.
>>342340651
Relic just went full "WE WANT SC2 AUDIENCE" and thats it.
>>342338346
if this had been released on SNES it would have been GOTYAY. imagine hot seat multiplayer after school, directing troops with one hand and trying to keep your m8 out of view of the TV with the other
>>342340838
The reviews disagree. Not OP and i haven't played it but i remember it was bashed at release, just went to check Steam because some games make a turnaround for the good but nope,it's still being shitted on reviews. Feel free to defend your pov.

Wait WHAT? I mean Anno 2205 was so shit but killing The Settlers is even worse.
>>342339038
Or fans of the series
why why are there so many shitty ports
why wont some games work on windows 8 when they work fine on windows 7 or xp?
why?
why are ports usually not a good thing?
seriously. I want to know
>>342341292
Blue Byte was working on a Setter 8 called The Settlers: Kingdom of Anteria, it was a mix of 7 and 6, which could only be shit by default, but to top it off, your production lines only exist to supply heroes which you sent away to small MOBA-like arenas where your heroes fight one group after another, sometimes in groups in a corridor, sometimes in more open areas. Heroes works like Heroes in any other fucking MOBA, 3 abilities, one Ultimate.
It also got renamed to Champions of Anteria, this year, so they can claim The Settlers isn't dead.
>>342338015
Is there any way to play these shitty pay to win games with a trainer or hack or something so you don't actually have to pay anything and can explore the content?

To be honest a fighting rat shooter isn't really a bad idea, that's precisely the kind of humor that was present in early Might and Magic games and was sorely lacking.
>>342339969
Skateboarding isn't really relevant anymore though. THUG was the tipping point I would say for it's relevancy, or at least that's why I felt THUG2/THAW went after the Jackass audience.

>>342338302
How the fuck did this happen?
After the horrible vanilla Gothic III, I had no hopes at all, yet they got everything right in Risen.
Then in the sequel they went full retard.
>>342339068

>>342343289
Are you about the string or the bolt?
>>342343520
Both. Bolt is inside the crossbow itself and isn't having any contact with the string. The string looks like it would hit the golden bit midway, reducing the power output.
>>342343670
Well it wouldn't hit the bolt at all, since it's inside the crossbow.

all of these things are straight copies of gothic 1 and/or gothic 2. risen was good because it took some of the good things about the first two gothic games and packaged them in a more modern engine with a better fighting system.
with risen 2 they again tried to do something new, and again failed spectacularly.
>>342339281
Yea, i really like what they did to hero leveling, but they would have to polish it up a bit even there, some stats and hero abilities are just way too wonky, or at least you are missing information that should be obvious.
Its like the game had all the right ideas, but somewhere along the execution they fucked a few things up and made everything overly complicated for themselves.
>>342340915
Only in Japan.
>>342341176
To be fair, the release was shit. The game required a supercomputer to be ran properly, and some campaigns were bugged as fuck for casualsyou weren't allowed to reload or it would corrupt the save.
They made a nice lineup for creatures tough imo, and finally made good hero leveling.
>>342336979
Threadly reminder that this is a screenshot of the first map in the custom map list, and that the notes are true, even the grail location. (probably)

Tfw im laffing because literally all of what is written in the image is relatable. All the fucking BS homm3 threw at you, we still loved the game. That is what makes me wonder why people think the later homms are such shit.

The wars series has been around since 1988 in Japan we just didn't get any of the games until 2001.
Intelligent systems seem good for that like with how long it took us to get official fire emblem releases.

It definitely lost of most of its soul by the third iteration, but at least Sims 3 was pretty much the apex of franchise's technological evolution.
Sims 4 was unbelievably bad
>2D sprites are dead in western games
It's okay for less visually complex games and of course things like FPS, but it feels like strategy games really could do with the increased detail level and sharpness of sprites, since you're just looking at it from above anyway.

Hey fuck you, man, strategy games rely on micromanagement like your mom relies on a black cock to keep going. You miss small details, then you handicap yourself badly; you miss large ones because the tutorial didn't actually teach you jack shit, and you have a game that's all but fucking unplayable.

wonder what would've happened to Fallout without FO3, though.

Those turn based strategies kinda completely died out and HoMM would benefit from having any kind of competition, even if it's only indie project.

Is it even out in nipland?

Rest in peace, sweet Prince.

Man that game would be great except for the shitty netcode and the fact that it's always fucking online.
Just make a buy to play version that I can download.
why oh why

There are some, like Kings Bounty or age of wonders, its just that people run them into the fucking ground, and indies will never patch together proper AI for those games.

>As of May 2016, the game holds a 2.7 out of 5 rating on Japan's Google Play Store.
It's shit even for a mobile game.

We all do. It was a reference to the whole Megaman Legends 3 fiasco.

Megami Ibunroku Persona.
They lost their way after Eternal Punishment. And P4 was the final nail in the coffin.

I dont think he was saying that he didn't but the whole fuck up with MML3 was disgusting.
Not Heroes, but

What a time to be alive, gaming is amazing, I never want to go outside.
>Might & Magic 7
Ah, well, this is okay I guess. It's a little hiccup compared to the last one but it's still decently fun, maybe they're just saving money for the 8th game?
>Might & Magic 8
>>342350359
King's Bounty isn't particularly good example. It has battles inspired by HoMM but otherwise it's a open world RPG
Age of Wonders is also more akin to 3X games than Disciples/Heroes
>>342338564
The sphinx and ghosts in HoMM2 (expansion?) were glorious.
>>342350835
Ghosts were absolutely retarded units
Every Nintendo franchise that isn't Mario, Zelda or Pokemon.
Either collecting dust or set up to fail.
>>342350015
I liked sacred 2 a lot. The combat engine was shit but I found the skills and the open world brilliant.

It would be the tits, as long as it has good music, visuals and tons of flavor text scattered across the adventure map. HOMM was never really that deep, it's not like it's some RTS or quake 3 shit that's guaranteed to get dumbed down.
rip
>>342350835
>Ghosts
I had to look it up, but the moment I saw that sprite I remembered everything.
Fuck ghosts.

I still have dreams about that game.

You guys should download Horn of the Abyss, its a unofficial expansion for HoMM3 and I actually enjoy it more than the original.
When it was released it was pretty buggy, but thats been fixed now.
Graphic fixes, balance fixes, a new town, new neutral units, new artifacts / map objects, new maps (bigger maps), new campaigns.
Its simply fantastic.
>>342350690
7 was still great though. A bit shorter and had some different design decisions, but I'd say it's almost comparable to 6.

A bunch of Russians with a lot of free time made the first piece of Heroes related material I'm actually excited to play.
What a world this is.

TC was good, while AP was a disappointment
Now Rebirth, thats shit
>>342342247
Yeah sure buddy, you are a special one.
Incidentally, a group of slavs is remaking H3 with H2-like sprites.
I'm still mad over Thi4f.

Am I the only one who thinks Dark-spore raped the franchise to death with a barbed dildo?

This game has such amazing art direction.

Fuck you Codemasters, everyone wanted a number 3, not a shitty moba coop isometric bullshit with shitty imbalance and over-priced shit.
Especially after you twetted that teaser picture, Especially fucking that.
Fuck you.
>>342355073
Eagle eye at least has some kind of effect. Now learning, that's a worthless skill.
>>342354912
Nah, theyre good, but theyre also neutral so chances anyone got them in their army is very slim.
They dont stand a chance against high tier units really.
HotA actually balances the game out pretty well.
Necromancy nerf and buffs to Inferno, for example.
>>342354927
I wish it was completed

ayy bro, dont you want to waste a skill slot to gain levels 15% faster? :^)

The nostalgia meme needs die... When I was 8 and had nothing else to do Fallout 2 was like a beautifull adventure, but there is no place for turn based rpgs today...

It'd be so easy to make a decent Megeman Legends game now a days. Just give it free aiming, add in more movement options so running and gunning feels a bit better, make dungeons a bit more complex and expand on the buster upgrading and the weapon making system.
Just take everything and polish it up to a modern standard and you could easily have a fucking perfect game.
>>342337703
>Breath of Fire 3 came out the same year as FF7, never got the praise it deserved
>Breath of Fire 4 came out at the end of the PS1's life, it got looked over
Damn shame.
>>342355604
Let's be frank, there is not a single aspect of BoF3 that would put it above FF7.
Persona
Revelations, Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment were these cool, highly experimental JRPGs that could get really fucking dark. The P2 duology probably has the best story and writing in any JRPG too.
All of that then got cast away when the series was rebooted into weeb dating sim shit half a decade later with Persona 3, a game that had next to nothing to do with the originals beyond a few vague references, one of which was literally followed by "Nobody played that game".

Vivendi literally refused to promote and were actively trying to drop the project altogether. It was only when the small clip they showed at their E3 conference was surveyed as the highlight of their presentation that they realised what they had on their hands. Too bad they were literally on the verge of releasing the game at that time, and they only managed to put a few demos and banner ads out.
>>342338564
Naeh.
homm3 lacks tradeoff economy and asymmetrical balance.

It isn't as dumb as WoG or whatever it's called right?
>>342354137
Homm3 is a slav as fuck game, you have no fucking idea. Even slav grills played it when they were kids.
