Apart from that the race design reeked of Warhammer Fantasy. Another thing about HoMM5 which bugged me was that the skill wheel was way too complex, resulting in a large part of it being obsolete due to internal imbalance. Most of the heroes' abilities were also incredibly useless (Inferno LOL). I really enjoyed Necropolis and Academy because they stayed true to their HoMM3 counterparts. HoMM4 was just horrible. So yeah if its mostly like HoMM3 with some of the better ideas from HoMM5 I'll definitely get this. | ||

EU(Retarded region locking of PR videos): NA: That does not bode well. The DRM still requires you to check in with Ubisoft every single time you decide to start it up.. | ||

they do still require an Internet connection to authenticate the game on start-up. Oh, pre-orders started on steam, release date may. BS already apparent: Have to pre-order to get beta access, which I guess is nothing but a marketing tool given the release date. Have to pre-order to get all content once the game is done. Have to buy a "digital deluxe edition" to get all content(extra heroes and a map even). Price is 50\55€, no doubt far higher than physical copies will be. Store page doesn't mention DRM, but steam often omits such information. These trends are so depressing.. | ||

I liked how all the old M&M and Heroes were practically more or less linked, wheter it was the areas or the persons. Are the new ones any good? I remember MM9 being pretty bad along with Heroes 4, so many pointless change with few good ones. | ||

Do not look like any dungeon no, and also liked the dwarf faction a lot. But Naga seems pretty cool aswell so i guess it is fine. | ||

I'm secretly hoping somebody makes some sort of FreeHeroes open source community remake (like they've done with Civilization and Master of Orion already). Balance and multiplayer gameplay tweaks of either homm2 or 3 would be awesome. | ||

Tho, I'm always hesistant to buying Ubi games these days... Thier DRM is utter crap... If the games themselves weren't so damn good, I would've boycotted them after AC2...

I remember MM9 being pretty bad along with Heroes 4, so many pointless change with few good ones. 4th was preatty crap, I think most people agree on that. 5th game I quite enjoyed, I'd put it on par with the 3rd game, but you'll always come across people who think that 3rd game was perfect in every way, and nothing can ever compare to that. =) | ||

Does anyone know if you can preorder on steam and get into beta, or if you have to go through the Ubi site mentioned at the end of the video? Edit: Thanks for clarification Oleo. | ||

I'm not a stranger to delays, but this game took in pre-orders with a fix release date and backed off 3 months <.< Lost faith in the series a while back, so I don't know how to feel about this one... Having a release date pushed back is not necessarily a bad thing, it means they have more time to make the game better. Why should that hamper my excitement to play a beta? | ||
