How bad is this?
For context, I can tolerate Heroes 5.
But Heroes 5 is good?
>>343208638
I thought the transition to 3D made the overworld pacing way more laborious, but I liked the actual gameplay.
>can tolerate the best game in the series
Is this supposed to be surprising?
Its crap, buying it made me feel like I was robbed.
>>343208721
To answer your question;
Considering it's a game released by the late Ubisoft, it's most likely unfinished trash.
Might be worth pirating just to check out how bad it is though.
>>343209101
But Heroes 5 was Ubisoft?
>>343208562
>tolerating the best/2nd best entry in the franchise
on the other hand heroes 7 has no identity
>>343209357
But not by recent Ubisoft.
Did they cut all support for this game?
From what I've heard the gameplay is fine, but the game is nearly unplayable from bugs and the campaign is trash.
>>343208562
Frankly, I enjoy it
>>343208562
Yuo can tolerate HoMM 5 because it's the best one after 3, arguably better if you are not blinded by nostalgia and prefer it over 3.
Heroes 6 is pretty shit but playable, 7 is like 6 but even more dumbed down. Imo not worth the mnoey,barely worth a pirate.
>>343210198
>7 is like 6 but even more dumbed down
I thought the whole point of 7 was going back to basics though?
>>343208739
he said 5, not 3
Friendly reminder that HoMM4 was good and not an affront to God like all the reactionary 3fags would have you believe.
7 is really bad. Its buggy 90% of the the creatures are copy paste between the towns. Skills system is horrible. its not optimized well. I could go on but just look at this instead https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10juXxZcPIzT1JBcqUg0Wp1EH-asDrvXaJPu8pn-rRh4/edit?pref=2&pli=1#gid=0
>>343210303
Don't know where you got that idea from.
The only thing they returned to are static backgrounds in towns while imo those 3d animated town screens in 5 were great.
Meanwhile everything else is pretty much a copy paste from 6 but with less options and dumb resources.
>>343210754
>creature population happens daily rather than weekly
Nah it's shit.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Heroes 6is at least as good as Heroes 2, suck my dick
>>343211924
1 was pretty shitty actually.
I like HoMM 4
>>343208562
Why did Necropolis become SPIDERS and EGYPT?
>>343212438
Same here, i even liked how it changed a little the gameplay, specially after played homm3 to death before playing 4.
>>343212590
Too much Warcraft3.
>>343212438
Heroes as units was good.
>>343212438
I like HoMM4 for the stories. The original six campaigns were nicely written.
I didn't mind the gameplay changes much either. HoMM 3 played better, sure, but I'm glad it was different in some way and not just a rehash.
>>343208562
ITT: People who haven't played it.
It's pretty good with the Addon and most of the Bugs fixed. Certainly better than 5.
>>343213137
Yes that was damn good, learning spells and getting new classes.
>>343212438
Kill yourself senpai.
>>343208739
How is higschool, champ?
>>343208721
Yep the overworld exploration is dull and tedious.
The combat and hero "crafting"(?) on the other hand is amazing - would say the highpoint of the series.
Turns ooing 3D didn't add a whole lot to a game like this.
>>343213323
But this isn't even out yet...
>>343213465
The only good parts of overland was finding faction units and convincing them to join you and doing quests for artifacts.
>>343213435
rude
>>343213703
>le sailing robbery man
Is HoMM 3 HD worth getting if I loved the original? Do they change anything besides graphics? I found it for 5$.
>>343213279
>HoMM 3 played better, sure, but I'm glad it was different in some way
Exactly how I feel. HoMM3 is the better game without question but HoMM4 is still my personal favorite.
>>343208562
I thought it was pretty good. There were some bugs but they have been fixed, I don't know what you're standards are but you should pirate it for a try,
>>343212590
It became SPIDERS in Heroes 5 because Ubisoft established new lore (which was pretty good imo, Ubisfot wasn't so shit back then) but it was subtle.
>>343214098
Not really. As far as i know the regular ol' HoMM3 works on modern OS. Correct me if im wrong but i heard its also missing the expansions. uot for a tablet port you could do alot worse than Homm3.
>>343214098
It's less than worthless. They lost the source code for the expansions so it's only the base game. Have fun with no random maps.
The HOMM3 HD+ mod for the original game even does a better job of remastering the game, and it fixes tons of bugs that are intact in the official HD version.
>>343214187
I just kinda want a polished version of HoMaM3 with modern graphics in the classic artstyle. They don't need to reinvent he wheel to get my money.
God I wish Heroes V worked. I wish heroes 3 worked, but you just can't win with this franchise.
Heroes V
>Ai is unbalanced on higher difficulties
>Their turns get longer and longer as the game does, up to a few minutes per ai turn. Becomes unbearable
Just download the mod! Heroes 5.5!
>Only works on single player
>Can't play with my friends over virtual lan
>Have to deal with the annoyingly long ai to play with friends regardless of mod
>Mod does add some new features despite not fixing ai when doing online mp, so there's that
>Mod crashes if an ai goes to an artifact merchant so you have to manually delete them all in random map generator which is a annoying process
>Random Map Generator has to be done manually in the map editor and is annoying to work, can bug out due to mod when doing team maps.
Oh I guess I'll just go play heroes 3 with my friends
>Can only do 2 human players over tunngle/any virtual lan service
>3 human players causes the game to fuck up and not register turns ending
A shame I really wanted to play Horn of the Abyss with a group of friends
Oh I guess I'll play the new heroes games!
>They are fucking terrible
Can't win
>>343216178
I never found the long waiting times to be a problem in V (unless playing on maps with 8 players) but AI is just retarded since it spreads its army too much and just runs away when it enocunters anything stronger than itself (which is always the case because it spreads itself so thin)
>>343215464
I think they could lift some mechanics of kings bounty legend. That series got some pretty cool shit like rage magic, more precise unit control (although this makes archers a lot harder to tie up) and some pretty neat abilities. Also morale is a bit less allpowerful by making it a statistical boost.
Would give my nut for an inferno with high offensive powered units like in kings bounty.
Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to let you hire creatures from ALL YOUR DWELLINGS from any town in HoMM6?
In what universe does this make any goddamn sense?
There was a lot bad with 6, but I think that was the real dealbreaker for me.Cute monster girls though
>>343216742
HOMM6 was an obvious move to simplify the whole game for new players. Less resources, convert towns to your home town, no eliminate couriers by allowing creatures to be bought in a single town.
Makes you wonder why they dont pull another HOMM5, just hire a bunch of fanatic russians that are only allowed to live on wodka and cup noodles till they shit out the game.
>>343216534
I dealt with the long ai turns when I first got Heroes V. But it would start to get ridiculous when an ai turn would take a few minutes to process. I persisted for a long while. But when you want friends to play a game with you, saying oh the ai will take 2 minutes for their turn because it was poorly done, isn't a great way to introduce them to the game.
The ai mod does work wonder and makes the game work fine, in single player. It also doesn't have the crashing issues with the artifact merchants as that only applies to the launcher that allows online multiplayer to be played with the mod active.
>>343210754
4 had too much drastics changes, and 3fags are worst elitist cancer fanbase.
>>343217076
The problem is a lot of changes were for the worse. Like heroes just dying like a bitch, monsters wandering the map, shitty early 3d graphics. Only allowed to build a part of your base.
And then lets not get me started on MAKING INFERNO AND NECROPOLIS THE SAME FUCKING TOWN. They should kill whoever allowed that
>>343216919
Caravans from 4 were a good system. Distance still matters but it cuts down on all the annoying supply chains.
>>343217337
The worst town-related crime in HoMM4 isthe lack of Fortress. I must be the only person in the world who liked that town, but god damn, I miss the swamp.
>>343217337
> heroes just dying like a bitch
well, use your brain , and dont send it in first line
>monsters wandering the map
neutral monsters can be stacked in option...
>shitty early 3d graphics
debatable, but yup, it looks mediocre.
>Only allowed to build a part of your base
>And then lets not get me started on MAKING INFERNO AND NECROPOLIS THE SAME FUCKING TOWN. They should kill whoever allowed that

>>343218152
>that moment when the gorgons hit just rightr
Didn't the HD version of the HoM3 just make it look uglier?
You’re in the tavern and this guy shots your hero's ass with no range penalty and bypassing half of his armor on top of that.
Wat do?
>>343219515
not really, it's just restoration of erathia with 0 improvements aside from a bit higher res sprites.

>>343211924
There is little wrong with 4 its just different than the others it was kinda of a test of different new concepts (also de OST is great)
and 1 was shit, you probably didn't play it otherwise you wouldn't put it along with 2 & 3
>>343219890
It starts being menacing once he wipes out half of your Black Dragons is one shot.
>>343219693
Does the HD mod still shrink down the interface?

Reminder to download this for HoMM3:
http://heroescommunity.com/viewthread.php3?TID=39830
It's a fan expansion with a new town (Cove, Pirate theme) and a bunch of other new stuff.
Unlike most mods, it's actually pretty damn well-made and the new stuff fits in well with the rest of the content.
>>343223059
Anyone with empathy is going to have at least 5 morale so it's a waste of turn that could be better spend at casting anything dark magic.
>b-but ultimate ability
Not worth it.
>>343208562
Not as good as 5 but way better than 6. It was worth the $25 I paid for it.
I tried to play the HoMM 7 beta but every AI's turn took like 1-2min each, so you had to wait like 5 min every time you were done with your turn. My computer is not even that shitty.
Is this fixed yet?
I've not had any since 4, but have played a little of 5. I grew up on 3 and love it to this day, but 4 certainly wasn't too bad. Found it fun still with friends and that's what it's all about.
>>343223526
It was 5 bucks on Amazon not long after the release
Just get Age of Wonders 3.
>>343208562
how bad was heroes 6? i never got to find out by myself because the piece of shit kept crashing
>>343211924
i only played a little of 4, why do you hate it? i thought it was fine aside from the necromancy being ridiculously OP
>>343214098
If you're still browsing the thread then just get a GOG copy and install the HD mod. All the other content with a lot of QoL.
>>343224489
I launched it once and everything seemed really weird and different, and I didn't know what to do. Never played it again. I put thousands of hours into HoM&M 1, 3 and 5

y/n? 4 might be divisive but it dared to be different had and some decent working parts.
>>343224848
mine just crashed whenever i tried to build something
and i tried googling for fixes or whatever but apparently ubishit just abandoned the game
>>343217961
They were there in HoMM5, which is one of the reasons I like it a little more than 3. It reduces busywork without simplifying management.
