Game Impression (Heroes of Might and Magic 5)
Write your impressions of playing Heroes of Might & Magic 5! What did you like and what did not? How would you rate the new part of Heroes? In general, tell all this here.PS Topic only for discussion of the game, any off-topic posts will be deleted.
On the contrary, I really liked the cartoonishness of the units. That is why the third Heroes did not really hit me ...
Heh. Played. Ash a week ... Another disappointment in one of my favorite games. One conclusion suggests itself - to the furnace for 3D strategies. In my opinion, all the troubles are because of this. And how do you say "cutbacks" and small cards. Now for some reason everyone wants to make games "beautiful", with the most powerful graphics, special features. But this loses the functionality of the game. Why is the good old 3rd Hiros still popular? Because it is simple and interesting, and no one cares about the graph. Immediately the opposite picture - everything is done for a very long time, tediously, each action is animated for a long time, which very quickly gets boring. By the way, because of 3D, don't wait for the map editor (I'm just not talking about the Random Map Generator). Yes, I agree, in castles and battles 3D is still bearable. But in the game world ... Heh, in my opinion, the game world should be in 2D, and castles and battles in 3D.
IMHO of course
PS: I don’t know about you, but I didn’t recognize more than one strategy in 3D. Of course I played many, but more than a month, not one did not last. And, for example, Starcraft, Cossacks, Red Alert and now sometimes pulls to play.
if there is no Random Map Generator for the game, then you can completely forget about it, because the most important feature in Heroes is the random map generator. It makes the gameplay endless;) Always new maps.
And it takes a long time to cook the card yourself, and you yourself are no longer interested in playing it for obvious reasons ...
Random Map Generator
Will be it. Will be. At least they promise. He also did not immediately appear in the three-ruble note.
to be honest, I can't imagine a random map in 3d. hmm ... and I also remembered the wild speed of the dendroids. in the third heroes, they at least justified their origin. well, a tree cannot run so fast. and where did my favorite efreet go ???? Stsuki, honestly: (
Hmm. 5 heroes are the most striking example of how graphics kill gameplay. Horror. And when the developers realize that "beautiful" does not mean playable. Especially for strategies where playability is the basis! Mlyn these lengthy animations, in this 3-d you really can't see anything, you need to turn the camera so as not to miss anything, which gets boring very quickly.
I will draw a parallel. If in computer chess you create all sorts of 3-d special effects, animations, dolby sound :), so that your every move "shines" and animates for 5 seconds who will not play them ??? I think no. They will admire the picture for a week (like me) and start the game from the computer, cursing the development off and mourning the ten thrown out buxoffs. Conclusion - graphics can kill even chess.
Much attention was paid to the graphics, the gameplay is terrible. The treshka is still popular. Sometimes I myself go to the championships in the club ... Or with friends on a case of beer;) Everything is just perfect (well, except for some chips prohibited on the championship, for example, phoenixes or the cloak of the liche king there) is balanced and still interesting to play. And then ... a week and in the trash.
yes, either to the trash can, or to EXTRACT AND PLAY. we can surprise you at the end :)
hmm ... CHECK me, but it seems to me that there is something in the game after all. not just a name. Yes, the transition to 3D was painful. yes, cartoon models. yes, removed some interesting monsters (efreet, as I said). yes, clumsy balance. BUT there is something in it. perhaps if we evaluate it as a separate game, and not as a continuation of HIT, then the opinion may change ... although I personally cannot :(
a game from such a great series is evaluated according to a special criterion, after all, after all, millions were waiting for its release, and therefore the task of the developers was to meet expectations. Well, it didn't work out, you see ... :(
Heroes V? Where are these heroes, where ?!
I didn't find them. Instead, it turned out to be something between III and IV.
The game I was waiting for and hoping for turned out to be such a failure for me.
Much that I loved about the Fourth Heroes disappeared somewhere, instead some elements alien to me appeared.
What about the most important element of the game, after which the series of games is called - what about the Hero? He acquired majestic dimensions, sat on the animal, but at the same time he went to a far-distant plane from his army, became impregnable. The animation of the characters themselves leaves much to be desired. Yes, a simple archer from Warcraft III has a much more varied movement when attacking than these Heroes of the fifth generation. Indeed, I got the impression that something similar to the previous heroes was simply transferred to the engine of the already so old Third Var. Even these inserts with a small frame at the bottom and the credits of the silent dialogues of the characters were supposed to remind the fans of something familiar.
Gone is the fun part of the game that I liked the most about Heroes - it's the hero's role-playing system, instead of just pumping the entire army. And I remember how I conquered cities and crushed hordes of undead with the only character - the Hero, whom for so long, calculated and diligently pumped the whole game.
Playing for about four hours, I only saw magic in two clips, and otherwise only a reminder of it that it exists, it's good that at least it is. Its appearance is quite sudden, from one dialogue: "You need to study magic" - and off you go - the whole map is already crammed with magic objects.
The game itself talks about its characters and missions in the save game menu. Noticed, saving the first mission, you are given a variant of the name of the save - "Queen - 0", I agree with that. I don't like this character at all and I wish he was caught first, but I have no other choice. Have to go through. I want to play as a pure magician and, having pumped him, walk with him alone on the map and be a fearless conqueror, but this was deprived of me by the 2006 game, which was supposed to please me with new campaigns and spells, but at the same time it removed a lot of other things. The combat system made me autoboy and leave to watch TV. this hefty strip, below which constantly changes squares with faces, starts to annoy me, and poking at the enemy and seeing the same thing puts me to sleep.
The graphics, although normal, are not optimized and makes my machine slow down (but this is already my problem, which I can solve if I have the desire and the means).
Probably, I haven't played enough and something that I should like will still be ahead, but at the time of the first campaign I didn't have a very good opinion.
Perhaps this game will be the best for me from the turn-based strategy genre, but for this I will have to force myself to play it for a long time and persistently.
PS I wrote a review before reading this topic.
Instead, it turned out to be something between III and IV.
More precisely, something between III and III :))

Yes, the heroes have become impoverished today, and they no longer delight us with new delights. But what can we do about it? (
Just wait and hope for the best ...
Even patch 1.2 and several new maps did not fix the matter - the maps remained terribly small, and the castles do not shine with variety ... there are 8 players on the map, and there are only 6 types of castles - somehow it does not work well ...
But in the system the battle of archers was not fixed so plainly - as they fired normally only almost at point-blank range, they still shoot.
I don't delete the game just because I still hope for an addon or mod that will return the series of heroes to its former playability
the game is playable, do not drive, but the computer thinks for a long time, although for a long time a relative concept (2.8 prescott, gig operatives) is
really long and for everyone.
but elves, this is just a tribute to pop, I hate these elfs, in warcraft I have a special mode of anger against them) besides, they have the most worthless special ability of all IMHO.
remove elves! I would like gnomes and barbarians.
By the way, why are you dissatisfied all the time? Nundite that everything is wrong for you, everything is not right for you, but 4 heroes and they are not next to 5! (3, this is not even discussed) 2 heroes by the way I have, a real disc! ()))) cute toy.
5 heroes LIVE! and I hope for a very long time! like 3 heroes.
the only thing is that there are few cards, not very many castles, and the spells are excellent and the graph is pleasant.
so stop boring. good game.
Nice graphics, although the computer can be dull, but otherwise everything is like in 3.
For some reason, it seems to me that the game from Yubisoft turned out to be some kind of unfinished, where all the variety of races from previous games went, there are few cards, the editor had to wait for several months.
And how many bugs and glitches were found! And these videos on the engine? In my opinion, they are not much different from simple pictures, buying up the animation of the Persians, it is especially cool when one of them kind of speaks, and at the same time, with a shout, knocks the sword on the shield.
But of course, the beauty turned out cool, the models of the castles change coolly during the construction, the artifacts look especially cool, and what I liked the most was when the camera zooms in during the battle. In short, it remains to download fresh patches, they say 1.4 is cool
Great game, in my opinion! Many people like the third part more, some of the fourth. But Heroes 5 is not just a new part of Heroes - it is the rebirth of the series. Vedt faced a difficult task for the developers - to understand what the players liked so much in other games in the series, to make sure that no one thought that they were cashing in on a well-known brand. And they did it.
I liked almost everything. But almost:
most of the creatures are drawn ugly. How beautiful gremlins and gargoyles can be? And I tell you: And you play in HOMM3.
Oh, how long can you find fault with the poor gargoyles ... found the most ugly and let's attack them ... What, in the third Heroes (with all my fiery love for them) were all so handsome? Just look at the stone golems ... what a horror it is. And what kind of beauty is hidden in the gremlins there, I also don't understand, although the gargoyles are really good)) Nice toy ... not without flaws, but they are everywhere, the only question is how critical they are. I like the game, especially with the expansion (many new objects, skills, artifacts have appeared). Now I play exclusively for the dwarfs, although earlier the League of Shadows was my favorite. It only infuriates that on a very large map the computer starts to slow down over time with the answer just incredibly ... closer to the end of the game, kaaak begins to make a counter move ... - you can go read the book))
