So who is busy playing it since released last week?

yes i would like to know also
I am a fan of HOMM3, did not like HOMM5 at all! it was too much like warcraft type feel
So if Heroes 6 is like HOMM3 , ill try it, from screenies, Heroes 6 does looka lot like Homm3 compared to Homm5
Heroes VI is very different to either number 5 or 6. So rather try the demo and see how you like it before buying the game, there have been a lot of positive and negative reactions to it so you might fall into the negative.
I however love the demo and am eagerly anticipating the release. I am going retail so just waiting for the game to arrive here so that I can go buy it.
You mean 5 or 3?Quote:

Just popping in to say that I picked up my pre order today. Nice present from the wifey. Game packaging is very impressive and it comes inclusive with Heroes 3 complete
its pretty good, dumbed down a bit though... biggest changes are your spells being part of your skill trees and you are able to get all your creatures at any castle, which you can convert to your own. and less races. Homm 3 is still the best
Awesome :D did you receive the deluxe edition? i'm aswell going retail. need to know if the contents are different, because online i hear certain peeps receives this and that, and haven't been issued certain bonuses....would like to know and hope you are enjoying it. ;-)
Limited Edition
Contains Heroes 3, extra in game hero and in game item. Nice looking packaging.
Word of warning to people though. Its got a lot of updates to sort through before launching. So far it looks like I have downloaded nearly 500 or so megs
So, been playing the game for a few hours. As I say I do like the game a lot, however one thing that I did notice is that the cut scenes are pretty badly done including voice acting.
However it is typical Heroes that keeps me wanting to come back for more.
The game play is solid and it is very diverse. Hoping that patches down the line bring in RMG and more character animations and also town animations as without those it leaves those aspects pretty plain.
Verdict so far 82/100
As far as comparisons to the other games in the series
Heroes VI - 82
Heroes V - 79
Heroes IV - 72
Heroes III - 77
Heroes II - 75
Heroes I - 70
I don't understand this reasoning.
Surely that's like saying you will never play another FPS again until it's better than Half-Life 1, or never playing another RPG ever until it's better than BG2. It makes no sense, so what if it's not exactly the same than a 10yr old game that you consider the best ever, it's still a good game in a genre you supposedly enjoy.
Heroes five had very little in it. Barley any single scenarios,artifacts where terrible,It run badly. The lore of the game was meh. There was a lot to be desired. Even my mom who is a casual gamer thought h3 was better. Yes I will most prob give this game a bash. But I would give a lot for a new heroes game to entertain me like h3. And yes I do have an open mind to games. Just ubisofts track record for heroes is bad.
I think the reason why Heroes 3 was so popular was because it really built on the success of Heroes 2. Everything that was good in number 2 they built on it for number 3.
Imo I don't think Heroes 3 is the best one, but I think certain aspects of it are great. My major gripe however with number 3 was that the heroes were far too similar. Heroes 5 on the other hand took Heroes 3 and put a lot of focus on differentiating the Heroes which I really loved. Tribes of the East then came and added a whole new dimension with the units that actually imo made the game very well balanced between heroes and units.
With that I think Heroes VI continued with the balance of units / heroes, however I would like to see a 2nd upgrade type of each unit like Tribes of the East brought.
You should, you can pick it up for under R100 so it is really worth it.
@ CLOUDE 9
Don't know about any deluxe edition, but I know BT Games do have stock of the limited edition, same as what I got for R399. It's an orc hero, can't think of his name now and a staff for magic affinity.

Seems to be very different hay....have phoned Bt Games and said there would be no other way only via pre-order. :(
I think i should mail/call concerning about that, i so much want to play BADLY...lol!!!
What does make heroes3 so cool, because i here and read, that's like The best heroes made....lol!!! graphics aint that good 4me lol!!!...even though i have played rpg's , even worst lol....
My goodness, I hope English isn't your first language since Google translate would have done a better job of constructing those sentences, maybe you should use that in the future.
I know, just...that...what makes Heroes 3 , that great of a game...since all others after that, does not come close to how awesome it is...
Well it had a very long and great campaign. Had an awesome story and a huge selection of maps. It had a very easy map tool.
It had 9 castles. Huge selection of artifacts and there where ones where you could combine them into awesome artifacts.
The expansions added a lot of new maps and campaigns, a lot of creatures about a 140 of them if I am not mistaken. Great music that adds to the game and a great castle screen. That was pure art:)
You are in luck, the music that featured in Heroes is in number 6. Its as though they took a greatest hits compilation and put that as the soundtrack for the game. Quite nice actually.
Heroes VI - 5 castles 7 tiers, 2 units per tier so that is 70 playable units. I have seen neutral units but not too sure how many are actually there.
I quite like the story of Heroes VI, however I only played the story of number 1 as I am a sucker for the custom skirmishes that is Heroes of Might and Magic
Been playing this game the whole weekend, its pretty awesome! I've only ever played Heroes 5 though so i supposed its not much comparison according the heroes 5 bashing going on here lol :P
must say though the game is quite hard.. not really suited for the type of gamers who like to explore every corner etc.. thats the only complaint though!
I'll wait for some more feedback before I pick this up. Did really enjoy Heroes 5, so would like to give this a go. The more feedback I get though, the closer I come to making my decision.
hmmmm seems to be getting mixed reviews, worth checking out
Reviews are generally very favorable though.
I think however the more people like Heroes 5 over number 3 are more likely to like number 6.
Well I absolutely love this game though. Not often that a game makes it onto my home pc wallpaper lol
Hoping to pick up a copy of this as well! I have a copy of Heroes 5 which I haven't even tried yet, but maybe this is a good time! :-D
I'm really thinking of getting this aswell, but so many games on the table to choose from and only so much geldjies :(
I really likeed HOMM 3, but i played that a long time ago.
@ GerickVery different to Heroes 3.
@ Cobalt The game is set 400 years before the events of Heroes 5 so if you are looking for a continuation from the story it won't help as the stories from what I know are separate
Finally have my Deluxe Edition...and boy am i :D heehee....
Love the Goodies inside....lol!!!
So who would like to have a game of multi-player once i'm all sorted and all ;) ?
I have discovered that I am pretty terrible at this game, so I really need to get stuck into the campaign and grow on some strategies that I have to get better at this game.
Well i wont call myself a veteran, but have been playing it since Heroes 5, and have been loving it.
Haven't started the campaighns yet, just a solo map that came with the Deluxe Edition, where you start off with the necro-faction.
Still at Dynasty ranked level, just got one of my Dynasy weapons to rank 2, heehee.
What i'm doing is just building up my dynasty weapon levels, but i only have two that came with mine both for magic-type hero.
Guess i have to start up that prologue soon, and oh yes reason why i started with that map first was because of certain order in the plots.
Yeah just check out strategies on the official forums.
