ATTENTION!!

This thread is created exclusively for positive feedback, opinions, etc., about the game "Heroes of Might and Magic 5 - Heroes Of Might And Magic V," as well as its development.

Since there are many threads with clearly negative opinions about the game, I kindly ask you to leave only positive feedback and opinions. At the same time, let's see if the game is really that terrible, if the beta version was so disappointing, and if Nival is really making a mediocre game... as some people say and write.

And let's also count the pros... :)

Hmm... are you by any chance a developer, creating a topic with such implications? ;)

If we were to list all the positive aspects of this game, it wouldn't be enough to fill an entire page, because if they simply didn't exist, there wouldn't be any interest in the game as such...
The percentage of negative aspects is, of course, less than the percentage of positive ones... but this small percentage is much larger than in the games that we all call Masterpieces. ;)

But what are the advantages after all? Many believe: The plot is bad... The map is terrible... The monsters are like childish cartoons... The graphics are better in the third game... The beta confirmed the skeptics' fears... And so on. Where are the advantages? At least the main ones... And, I'm not a developer - thankfully...

So, the pros for me are:
+ the game remains the best turn-based strategy in its genre
+ the sound is always great
+ it's based on Heroes 3.

I haven't found any more pros yet :) maybe I'll think of some later.

+ for me. Music by Rob King. Interesting ideas: - The "rubber band" map (even in its current implementation) - No Fog of War (I actually find it more convenient without it) - Skill system (but it needs adjustments; the current implementation is flawed) +/- Hero does not participate in battle. (I'm in favor of hero participation on the battlefield, but the implementation in HoMM IV was clearly flawed). That’s all for now. :cool: Attention:

Since there are many threads with a clear negative attitude towards the game, I strongly request that you only leave positive reviews and opinions.

The comment is valid. But let's not create one-sided topics. Let's agree that in this topic we talk about which ideas you liked. Let's conduct discussions in the Heroes of Might and Magic V! Game Discussion! thread. Accordingly, I renamed two topics. Good topic about heroes to Pros of Heroes V! What do you see them as... And Are they even heroes? Or what did Nival do to Heroes of Might and Magic V! Game Discussion!

I liked:

The fact that they decided to continue the HOMM series, and that a Russian developer is doing it;
The music by King is great ;)
The 3D graphics are quite nice;
The absence of the fog of war, the hero entering the battlefield, simultaneous attacks, and other questionable features from Heroes 4.

That's all for now, as I haven't played the game myself, so I don't have any impressions about the gameplay...

Pros:
Excitement in anticipation of the highly anticipated Heroes 5!!!
And the game's ratings (mentioned at the beginning of this thread) should be given after its release (not even after the beta).

The only plus right now is that there is at least a desire for progress.

if you were to list all the positive aspects of this game, a single page wouldn't be enough.;)
IMHO

Well, let's see....
1. The game remains the best turn-based strategy of its genre for now.
2. The sound, as always, doesn't disappoint.
3. Based on Heroes 3.
4. Music by Rob King.
5. The fact that they actually took on a sequel to the HOMM series and it's being done by a Russian developer.
6. 3D and quite pretty graphics.
7. Absence of fog of war, hero stepping onto the battlefield, simultaneous strikes, and other questionable features from Heroes 4.
8. There is one plus for now — at least there is a drive toward progress.
9. Ecstasy while waiting for the highly anticipated Heroes 5!!!

†New combat system;
†Many interesting new features (skills and abilities);
†The presence of a random map generator, like in Heroes of Might and Magic III. (It's a pity that it wasn't in Heroes of Might and Magic IV).

The only plus so far is that there is at least a desire for progress :)

Yeah... That's where it all begins. Let's hope that everything will be SUPER :p

Okay, I'll write down the pros from my perspective (we'll discuss and count them collectively later). + Graphics I mean the overall quality, the quality of the monster models also counts, but their design is not included here. + Soundtrack. Although I haven't heard it, I'm sure it will be excellent. + New, independent world + Increased difficulty in capturing enemy castles + Relative comparability to the third game.

It turned out that there are more downsides than upsides!
They oversimplified the gameplay. They went so far that even a one-year-old child could easily play! But if they had thought about something else... let's say about magic or the interface (I read somewhere that they were already working on it)... then that would have been a MASTERPIECE!

despite the fact that the topic is “good”, I will write down the cons:
-porn stars instead of heroes, Pokémon instead of monsters
-outright mockery by the developers of the games in the series (phoenix, black knight, imp, gargoyle... I still remember the developer’s interview “the gargoyle rolls so nicely in the air”. BLEH!!!)
-imbalance between the size of the battlefield, creatures, and spells.
-the developers’ refusal of innovations in the form of “rubber-banding” and trails... they took the easy way out, not wanting to bring them to perfection, as more experienced and professional game companies do.
-there are few spells, but many unnecessary skills
THE BIGGEST MINUS: MAXIMUM SIMPLIFICATION OF GAMEPLAY.
Edited: OFF-TOPIC in the message

I agree with everything. Especially

DM_RuuD

-outright mockery by the developers of the games in the series (phoenix, black knight, imp, gargoyle... I still remember the developer’s interview “the gargoyle rolls so nicely in the air”. BLEH!!!)

everything else is either quite tolerable or it’s not too late to fix it, but the appearance of the creatures is a complete disaster. :(
