Posts from What is your opinion about Heroes IV?

Even though I'm not an expert on Heroes of Might and Magic V, I haven't seen a worse imbalance in the game than in Heroes of Might and Magic IV!

You didn't look closely enough ;)

Well, I don't know...
I used to hate Heroes 4 – I thought it was the end of the series, the death of heroes, and so on. I didn't like any of the factions there, especially Haven and Necropolis.
About a year ago, I took a closer look – and it turned out to be a pretty good game, original and interesting in its own way.
After the release of Heroes 5, I realized that Heroes 4 is simply an excellent game. I even like Necropolis and Haven more in it than any faction from Heroes 5. Heroes 5 is what's really a dead end for the series.

That's the most accurate statement! Heroes 4 is incredibly fun!

Too bad, I can’t vote again on the main page for the fourth installment… Last time, in a moment of passion, I wrote that I liked Heroes 5 the most… Now I regret it.

I also regret voting for the fifth installment! The fourth one is better than the fifth! It’s a shame it doesn’t run on my computer!

Hmm, the topic smoothly transitioned into complaints that the fifth installment is terrible... Go away, all of you (no offense). If you're discussing the fourth game, talk about it. Here, you're talking about the many new ideas that were later implemented in the sequels. And when I played the fourth game, I was annoyed that all these so-called new ideas turned out to be stolen from so many games that it became scary... Heroes has always been an independent game with its own ideas, and here it's just plagiarism (it's just disappointing, regardless of the implementation).

As for plagiarism, everything was taken from somewhere... But Heroes of Might and Magic IV is a unique and original game with an unforgettable gameplay. You need to play it to understand...

To hell with "original gameplay." Why do we need it? Let it be as always, right, conservatives? Why then do they criticize the fifth game for not being like that, and praise the fourth?! Is this like saying, "This is how you make something terrible!" Yeah?:)

Because in the fourth installment, the innovations were tied to the genre and the concept of the heroes, but in the fifth, they don't fit! And at first, I didn't like the fourth game (just like the third), but then...

Knight, I'll be here to congratulate you on your 1000th post, at least someone here supports me.

It's pointless to talk to Celt, you don't argue, you just keep repeating your "truth." The plagiarism was from Disciples, Age of Wonders, and a couple of other good games... I meant that Heroes has always had its own unique gameplay, as it founded the genre itself, and in the 4th installment, this gameplay was not just changed, but actually stolen.

I played it a lot, and it's not that bad, but it's a completely separate game (not Heroes), and as a continuation, it's a failure.

Hmm, what does the fifth game have to do with this? We're talking about the fourth one. The fourth game is good, but it's not "Heroes," it needs to be continued. And the magic in it is cool, no matter what anyone says. It's just that many people are upset that their favorite factions ended up in the minority because of the magic.

...What I meant was that Heroes always had a unique gameplay, as it founded the genre itself, and in the 4th installment, this gameplay was not just changed, but rather stolen.

Based solely on this reason, you should simply hate Heroes 5. I didn't want to discuss the fifth installment in this thread, but I think it's a good example of why this shouldn't be a reason to abandon the game.

Well, I disagree about the genre; it was established by games much older than even the ancestor of the "Heroes" series, "King's Bounty" (if you're talking about the TBS genre). In the fourth installment, many things were ruined compared to the previous parts – that's undeniable, but many things were also added, and I think it would be simply foolish to abandon them in subsequent parts (but they did). For example, the ability to refuse a skill that is given in the witch's hut (a small detail, but it's nice).

The WoG team did a great job by incorporating this. Maybe that's why WoG is so popular, because it takes the best ideas from Heroes III and Heroes IV? After all, Heroes IV was also great, the only thing I didn't like was that the troops didn't gain experience, which created an imbalance with the hero.

Well, that’s what I’m saying. You should learn from your mistakes. I just know that many people started with the fourth game. And they liked it, and then, based on someone’s suggestion, they found the third game. Someone suppressed their opinion with the authority that the third game is better, someone saw that it was more popular. The fourth game exists as a game, and many people play it. And many people like it. And no one was talking about comparing them. Why compare? It was just a test. Do you think the sixth game will come out and be the same as the third? Then it won’t be interesting. There will be nothing to compare. And the special interest will disappear.
