Will you buy Heroes VII?

@Madao, Verriker
Not yet. I preordered H6 and it was, how to put it, neither good, neither a bad decision. If I would bought them later it would be cheaper and serve me the same. Only there's a small glitch, I wouldn't have time to play them.

With MM:H7 I'm pressed more by time, so even if it's from some point tempting, it will not happen. The game should anyway last at least year to prove it's quality. Heroes 3 are exhibiting them to these day and still can convice.

Recycling good ideas is really not bad. Often it's just best decision, instead of coming with new half-thougt .arts.

Some things are really not a problem.
-community had no real saying in the process of making
 >> That's sad but it's not necessary for a good game making. Even with ignoring fans you can create a good game and surprise everyone. After all you (developer) are the one to bring your vision up to the light. That and capability to deliver it. In case of Ubi it's somewhat a weak point.

-the game is set in the least favorite universe
 >> Don't care, universes go and pass.

-STILL heavily based on the least favored edition (H6).
 >> not a problem either but surely not a plus

Main problem is that from reactions and available videos it seems that balance system is broken and AI too underdeveloped. That must wane off.

Second, it's obvious, fun = ease to control, joy to play.

They already have some pluses.
+ Pretty music, hope they will make most of it.
+ Better landscape map
+ Skill whell (somewhat small but it's still a plus)
+ Heroespedia (that's with a big IF)
+ Spiritual successor (Yes, that's a plus.)

@Salamandre
Salamandre can you tell me/us what is in the survey?

The usual questions about a game: do you like graphics, do you appreciate balance, do you like the maps, would you recommend the game (probably the only answer they care but they had to put around some crap), do you like pinups and so on. Nothing which concerned me, as I am allergically ill to any loading times, or wait between turns, 20 seconds wait and I am out.

I believe if inferno was voted that they would get same amount of reused creatures as dungeon. Number of creatures to be reused was set long time ago.
I can't understand why they didn't judge models one by one only by their quality and choose which one to reuse that way. Why they didn't keep Centaur and Harpy from HVI which have great models and redo that abysmal shadow and black dragon that nobody likes? I mean Dungeon siege Wyvern looks a lot better then dragon. Some decisions are just unexplainable.




Yeah ive said this a few times before. Even the crusher from h6 looked fine without the Christmas colors. I'm pretty sure anyone would gladly trade in the centaur, crusher, and harpy for a redesigned black dragon and medusa. Dungeon did not get the kind of reskinned attention that Haven got so they should have spread the recycling around a little bit instead of making the dungeon faction suffer from it.

Recycled elite tier + mime puppet golem with a butterfly dragon makes me hate dungeon

Wow, I like this community

@Pol:
well m8, I find refreshing to see a different opinion.
I will hold the ground with my statements tho, they chosen themselves a development plan that didn't go well and they are presenting it like they did all they could. I can't swallow that again, so no buy from me.
But it's true: maybe enough time will pass and the game will be improved and enjoyable? It's possible.

What I understood from it is that the company that did the models raised their prices, so there suddenly was not enough budget to give dungeon (the last faction done) the same love.

I'll probably wait for the first expansion and see if the game got in the right direction. So far, I'm not overly impressed. Seems like a desperate attempt to revive HoMM 6 rather than a fresh start.

I will definetely buy it... *points to the cute little puppy that's on sale for a discount*

Seriously though, I'm not going from H3/HC(not the community, the game) any time soon. If they decide to make the next game in 2D, I would quadcheck if the world is ending

I preordered the game after two beta test.

First I like the attitude of the game designers in the videos.They seem to care about the game

Second they "do" listen to the fans.Although fans also have terrible taste as well.Somebody on the forums said "why do we need town levels?" which was in my opinion one of the best ideas introduced.So people don't have very good choices either.

Some old school ideas coming back especially 7 resource system is very positive for example.

Skill system still needs some balancing and work.A.I. seems still a problem.

For me the lineups are okay;They are still too human or elvish though.I would have prefered a unicorn instead of a moon doe and traded anything in heaven line up for a griffin for example.They shouldn't mess with the classics that much.Harpies cycplops and return of behemoth for example are very nice.

They promised the map editor and they are delivering it in a good condition which is a plus.

Some nice touches like EXP for both heroes fighting and Castle garrisons are some solid steps for a finer game.Flanking has been talked a lot before but it should be tuned down a bit so it has less impact.Area control for castles is nice.Mixed creature stacks adds very nice flavour to the neutral combats.

What any good strategy game is multiple viable strategies and that comes with balance.I have faith still.The creatures are nice so that can be fixed.Skills are okay and that can be done as well(if they only listen).

People should have a bit patience.I hope this game will evolve something in between H3 and H5.

Only one week to find out all my answers . I am very excited to see what happened to the legendary series .

"Not immediately, maybe in the future"

Why? Because my system cannot handle the game requirements. Plus, I cannot buy new PC at the moment as I currently need money for some other non-gaming things.

Although the game is not entirely up to my taste, I would like to try it. However, it is not on my priority list.

Yeah, I highly doubt it will be between H3 and H5. More like between H4 and H6.

If it was near the league of H4, I would consider buying.

Given the fact how much the last game sucked, I wouldn't even torrent it, even if they payed me to.

Checked its availability in-store at EBGames and, voila...

...there it is, ready for a presell type of a reservation for it.

So, here, in Canada(Ottawa), we might have access to the boxed DVD package before, the 2 pm(14:00)'s availability window. Opens mainly around 10 or 11 am. Therefore, the staff of the store might deny the actual arrival the packages and, will wait for the clock to ring in the 2 pm status of time.

I am so excited to, actually be nervous and anxious at getting the game. That I am actuall, right now, reflecting on a totally new current situation: Having to play a PC game that is new and fun to play instead of an Xbox 360 bound video game.

As I said, not in a million years I would have thought of buying this game in the current status and for 50 euros. But for 18 euros... well that seems quite a  fair price. Half a game for half the price

Nope. Could see this game was headed in the wrong direction after they revealed that the Haven champion unit was a man with a sword.
That and the fact that their website is filled with grammatical errors and nonsense wordings. Very lazy writing.

And read Terms and Regulations as well. Only God know if they are already tampering those lines with "You agree to buy the game and you won't get it. And if you get it by mistake, it'll be crashing and full of bugs".

Come now. Heroes II had that paladin as the most powerful unit of the knight faction. So I don't see why wouldn't it apply here.
