Yes. This is a full-fledged sequel in the series.

No. This is a pathetic parody of a great game. I fondly remember the third installment.

I think that's why everyone is looking forward to the map generator – it would allow us to break free from the rather restrictive conditions. Essentially, in Heroes of Might and Magic V, there aren't really any scenarios as such – there are only many campaigns, large and small.

Olga, don't you think that if the developers released more maps, they could then create patches and add-ons without any problems? 19 maps in total with multiplayer is terrible! Plus, the first campaign is just awful!

The game is generally decent, but it gets boring quickly, so I'm going back to playing Gothic.

I don't know, I think the first campaign is pretty good, but the fourth campaign gets boring after a while!

Indeed, the selection seems rather limited. Even a minor deviation from the intended scenario leads to a plethora of bugs, turning the game into a guessing game of how Nival intended the map to be played.

The game is generally okay, but it gets boring quickly; I'm already back to playing Gothic.

That's true; I haven't touched my Heroes disc in a month, and I'm not even playing it on the anniversary (although that's probably because of money problems)...

Operation Tide or Boiling is with you!!!!!! Do you still doubt that this is Heroes? Then we're coming to you!!!!!!

I highly doubt that even after the expansion pack, the fifth installment will become a full-fledged Heroes game. It's purely a commercial project, in the spirit of Warcraft. Made exclusively for money, not for the soul. For me, the fifth game will hardly ever become part of the Might and Magic universe, unless through a revival.

I agree with AlexeyPank and Olga.

Well, for me, Heroes 5 will remain Heroes... BUT! There's one annoying thing – THEY ARE INCOMPLETE!!! That is, if Ubisoft had given Nival more time and instructions (to make the game easier to play, because it's hard to find information about the kingdom), they might have become three or four times better... But as it is... Fans of all the Heroes games, REVIVE THEM!

We're reviving it! But it's still not the fifth installment of Heroes. I hope that after the editor is released, our revival will become Heroes on the engine of the fifth game. And the fifth game itself will only be a base on which true Heroes will grow.

I think this game has huge untapped potential: the captivating graphics, the redesigned heroes and units – all of this is bound to attract players. As for the limited number of scenarios, well, let's wait and see... I waited for about a year and a half for the add-ons to Heroes IV. (Although, there were significantly more scenarios in the original game.)

I would argue with you on that. I've been a fan of the Heroes series since the second installment, and I haven't seen anything more terrible than Heroes 4. I even thought that after Chronicles, it would be the final nail in the coffin for the series, but Heroes 5 is something else. Nival managed to bring back the spirit of the Heroes games and add stunning animation. Okay, let's say the plot and multiplayer could be improved, but look at everything else! It's simply colossal! I really want to see an add-on with fixes for some of the shortcomings and miscalculations, but overall, it's a solid 4 out of 5, with a huge plus!

Are you at it again? How can something with such graphics and balance (not perfect, but where is perfection?) be considered a pathetic parody?

Graphics and balance... Well, then watch Shrek... The graphics there are amazing, and in Heroes of Might and Magic III, the balance was also lacking...

In Heroes of Might and Magic III, there are two distinct factions: Necropolis and all the others...

Heroes of Might and Magic V doesn't have this distinction.

In Heroes of Might and Magic III, the Necropolis faction wasn't distinguished until the release of "The Shadow of Death"... The balance was disrupted then... And almost all factions were roughly equal... But in Heroes of Might and Magic V, the imbalance still exists...
