Heroes of Might and Magic V [Game Discussion]

But there is something to be afraid of, because a game can be 1. "author's vision," 2. "designed for the masses," or 3. "a masterpiece." :-)
Since Nival is making the game with a significant budget, they will want to recoup their investment, and the game will inevitably become a mass-market product...

But Heroes was precisely an author's vision. And NWC was completely uninterested in the fans' opinions on this matter. They made the game as they envisioned it. But it was precisely their games that became masterpieces.
Making a cult game for the masses is the worst thing the Ubisoft marketers could have come up with. If the fifth installment is released and receives recognition (i.e., becomes profitable), then the Might and Magic series can be considered finished. The game's image will be diluted. I won't even mention the Dark Messiah. What is its purpose in the game world? What RPG elements are there?:confused: Hexen is still better.
The only hope is Tribute.

Since they made the map 8x10, it must have been a good idea because I simply don't believe that a group of beta testers wouldn't have pointed out the flaw in this idea to Nival.

Firstly, Laboule and the GU pointed out the problematic nature of this size. The phrase about the "genoid" is very telling. Furthermore, it cannot be said that the beta testers did not point it out. The developer makes the game. And he asks the beta testers to test his ideas, not to suggest their own. And the developer will never listen to anyone's opinion if it contradicts his vision of the problem. Moreover, if you believe the GU forum, it turns out that this 8x10 map was practically not tested. The rubberbanding was tested, but apparently, Nival didn't have time to refine it and simply unilaterally adopted this piece of land.

Guys!!! How could they abandon the idea of composite artifacts?!!! Or am I missing some information? Maybe there will still be "sets," right? And will there be "hot seat" mode? There are random maps, right?

1. No
2. Yes
3. Yes
