Posts from "Heroes 5". But are they really "Heroes"?

But never mind, the map editor is already out, and if it comes with a campaign editor, we’ll be able to create our own campaigns that adhere to all the canons of Might and Magic! We can even upload them to the "Maps" section or create a separate thread for campaigns. So, I think we’ll manage somehow;)

There is an entire section dedicated to this called "Heroes - revival". But the fact that it became necessary to create it proves that fans need a logical continuation of the series, and not various excuses about how difficult such a task is.

Don't you dare speak ill of the fifth installment!:mad: The fifth game certainly can't compare to the third, but it's time to start living in the modern gaming world! The third game is already outdated, and it's played by the most fanatical players (I'm not an exception). But the fifth game deserves to be the third game's successor;) And where is the patriotism? This was made by our people! Nival Interactive is a wonderful game company!

No... Should one love a game just because it was made by "our" developers? Personally, I simply respect Nival for making great games, but I don't respect games just because they were made by Nival. Besides, the 3rd and 5th installments were, are, and will continue to be compared. At least because the 5th is an improved, refined, and modernized version of the 3rd. Some things were borrowed from the 4th, and some things hadn't been seen in the Heroes series before. This makes the project quite interesting for everyone. But the unwillingness to accept this... Well, that's everyone's right. The 3rd is also unique in some ways and deserves the attention of fans. And so does the 4th. In general, everyone chooses for themselves. As for the plot, questions regarding the choice of the game universe were not within Nival's competence; Ubisoft made that decision. Starting from scratch was obviously easier for them. And perhaps even more profitable. But fans of the old universe didn't like it.

In the 5th installment, I didn't like the lack of abundant text, which could be found in the 3rd and 4th installments. It was decided to choose a more popular, or, as they often say now, a more mainstream way of presenting the plot. Cutscenes on the game engine. No, in principle, I don't see anything wrong with that... But the way it was implemented kills me... And the subtitles at the bottom are just absurd; everyone has already read it 10 times, and only now is the hero finishing his line. In King's Bounty, it's done in an old-fashioned way, but a thousand times better and more pleasant. I hope that the mysterious 6th installment will involve a complete overhaul of the mistakes.

Heroes 5 is my favorite part of the famous Heroes series... Good graphics, an interesting plot, well-designed factions and abilities... Just a reminder to everyone that Heroes isn't just one game, or two, or three... It's an entire saga, an entire project... In my opinion, all parts should have their own unique features, rather than being made according to the same template...

What questions are you even talking about? I don't understand. I understand the question about Heroes 4 when it's phrased like that, but it's simply unacceptable for Heroes 5. Even if the graphics have become more modern (and for many, not necessarily better), and the gameplay has become less interesting than in Heroes 3... that doesn't mean it's not Heroes. It's a full-fledged continuation. Heroes 3 is liked by most of the people I talk to, but Heroes 5 is also well-regarded. We can discuss this, but the answer is more than obvious.

Well, we shouldn't forget that this topic was created more than a year and a half ago, when EVERYONE was a fan of parts 1-4. So, it's a bit outdated now.
