after HoMM3? It's disgusting. Look at the vampire for fuck's sake:

After seeing this it took quite a bit of effort for me to keep playing it. And then I saw the pathetic crusader

    I didn't see the community and at first I was amazed someone was posting a HOMM meme in general. Then that it's so obviously a HOMM meme with zero context.

    Then my back hurt

    Then I saw the comm and thought about biting the bullet on reading glasses.

    I remember the campaigns slightly more than the ones in H3 that I barely touched, because there was an edgy necromancer hero with a whole campaign around him that I thought was cool

    My opinion on it otherwise is more or less the same as yours. It didn't "look right" to me and I found the soundtrack to be a little bombastic, but I also remember liking the approaches they made with magic and the interactions with heroes mechanically. It felt like a similar leap from StarCraft and WC2 into the proto-moba "lane" of WC3

    I'd love to see another strategy RPG work off of the game they were experimenting with in Heroes 4. Songs of Conquest does a lot to recapture the charm of 3, and that's great but I feel like there's potential for a different kind of experience with the example of 4

    I really like it! They have some good, unique ideas and a unique take on the factions without being too far from what I love about HoMM 3

    For example,the demon faction is more like a hive insect demon faction with insectoid creatures and there's a new cthulhu esque faction.

    I still haven't tried OE, and haven't even followed the discussions about it, tbh – so it really is quite good?

    According to the info on Steam, the remake will be done by Ubisoft, while OE was by a different studio. So they might keep working on both in parallel, I suppose.

    I've been thoroughly enjoying this one. I've been playing the games since 2, stopping after 5 because they got awful. This one brings it all back for me. I'm not in any way a big multiplayer/competitive player though, so I'm not the one to look to for that side of things.
