Heroes 5 – “A masterpiece or an unfinished product?”

Then, if that's the case, what are you doing on the forum? Why were you looking for so much news? Just to tear the game down later and say, "Oh, it's just mass-produced garbage; I'm going to go play Lords!"?
What am I doing on the forum?
I'm discussing the game!
And I've been interested in it for a long time, as well as the previous games in the series and other games in this genre.
And I want a game from my favorite series with a minimum of flaws or no flaws at all.
But Heroes has many flaws. And having many flaws doesn't make it a masterpiece, especially since many of these flaws have no good reason to exist...
For example, the hero interface, which was already mentioned...
Was it bad in the previous games in the series? Did it need to be replaced?
Why?
All skills and the army and the hero's avatar could fit on one screen.
Was that inconvenient?
By placing a new artifact in the corresponding slot, we could immediately see how it affects the hero's stats (primary and secondary) and how it affects the stats of the army units.
But now, you put it in, switch to another window, look at the hero, switch to another window, look at the units, switch to the inventory window, and try a new combination of artifacts. Is that a plus compared to the previous games in the series? No, in my opinion, it's a minus.
The spellbook. What was the need to make such large and not particularly beautiful pictures? There wasn't one. But of course, it had to be replaced. Why?
Why fix what isn't broken? The Nival developers didn't take into account the experience from previous games. Yes, the universe is new (whatever), but the game's principles haven't changed...
I'm not saying that the game Nival created is bad, but it has flaws (IMHO) that its predecessors didn't have, so it can't be called the best, a masterpiece, etc.
Therefore, I sincerely hope that the developers will fix their shortcomings, which are still there, instead of making excuses in a rather primitive way by emphasizing the complexity of the work and the impossibility of carrying it out (and they often do this; the last time they complained about the difficulty of developing a map editor, and that's why there won't be one).
I want to see Heroes 5 as a normal continuation of the series, without flaws. But I don't have much hope for Nival anymore, but there are modders who are already fixing Nival's shortcomings and thereby making the game better.
I don't think it's right to not see the game's flaws and just praise it just because it's Heroes of Might and Magic. Let Nival's and Ubisoft's PR department take care of that. And there are plenty of people here who are willing to promote them.
Let them not be particularly beautiful, let them still need work, but they are still the best. Hmm. It's up to you...
And the argument that you played Heroes 4, so you'll play Heroes 5 no matter what, is not an argument at all.
Well, okay. I'll leave you to continue admiring Nival's "masterpiece."
You still don't provide any arguments...
All the arguments are from the old Soviet cartoon about the rabbit, "And that's good enough"...
