Do you still play Heroes of Might and Magic III after the release of Heroes of Might and Magic V?

Why isn't it captivating? Many people would disagree with you. I'm one of them. I found it captivating. And if a game is captivating and has good graphics, is that a bad thing? I like it.

Well, because Heroes 5 is like Heroes 3, only much worse. I didn't like how they made the game at all. They added unnecessary things, which complicated the game and made it uninteresting (but I'm not going into details). And in general, after 10 turns in Heroes 5, you just want to quit. It gets boring very quickly – there's no action at all; they completely removed it (is it even possible to capture 3 castles in 3 days in the fifth part? – unlikely). In Heroes 3, everything is simple and brilliant, and it's fast-paced.
