Rift

I've played, I'm playing, and I hope to keep playing :)
Graphics, progress, "a different game," atmosphere – all of this is, of course, wonderful, and perhaps it's impossible without it. But there's also another, less noticeable parameter that the newest video cards and multi-core processors can't handle, which isn't included in the developers' budgets, and which can't be calculated in advance. This is what makes the old game from '98 a cult classic, a legendary game that people continue to play for so many years without stopping. Everything else is just an illusion, words are no more than that.
11 years is a long time for a game – if you add another 11 years, you'll remember the good old '86 – "Battleship" arcade machines, pocket "Electronics" with "Well, Just You Wait," and cassettes with games for the "Spectrum." Many probably haven't even heard of it, let alone played these wonders. What's the point of all this? Age turns out to be far from the most important thing. On this forum, the main driving force is Heroes 3, "the third game," the horsemen.") Hundreds of reports are written every season, many tournaments are actively held simultaneously, maps are drawn, and players are ready to travel who knows where to play against each other, meet, and chat... So, the question in the topic title is, to put it mildly, incorrect. It would be more appropriate to ask, "Why do you play the other Heroes games if there's Homm3?"))
I'll add that I play all the parts periodically, but I return to the third game more often (there's always someone to play with online)
