Did they say how much this was?I might pick it up... Looks kino...A return.. TO FORM!
>>737358017HOMMbros..?
>>737358017Hello devs, I was gonna buy it but now I will pirate it. Reason?You gave special access to streamers and youtubers, and I refuse to support (You) and devs that treat the regular audience as second class citizens.
>>737358017most of these AA games published by hooded horse go for 40 bucks I expect a launch discount for 25% so 30
>>737359443Based
>>737359443Based...
>>737359443Gigabased
I just got HOMM3 on gogwhere is the hd mod
>>737358017video games are regressing
>>737359443really breaking the mold here with a frogposter post that isn't completely retarded
Funny how this one has sexy black bitches and no other black units
>>737362227>world is so retarded frogposters seem reasonableGrim
>>737358017having a blast
>>737359443>frogposter>non-dogshit opinion What is this, fucking opposites day?
>>737359443
>>737359443this is the only moral opinion
>>737358017I'm playing 5 at the moment and am really struggling... Does the game pick up after the first few maps because frankly I'm bored shitless of tiptoeing across this map and autobattling easy as fuck enemies
>>737363739they are trash after 4 since ubishit took over
>>737359443SPBP
>>737364365Are the earlier games faster paced or something? I'm kind of liking the cutscenes and stuff but playing the actual maps is boring as sin.
>>737364492i've not played 5 in a long time all i remember was it being a downgrade, but it sounds like you might not enjoy tbs games.
The Demo will have multiplayer enabled for the arena mode tomorrow.
>>737358017It's made by russians so you're morally and ethically allowed to pirate it, they pirate everything themselves anyway.
>>737358017This didn't need to be early access. Release a complete game or go fuck yourself.
>>737362328Why would you need another black unit when you have her?
>>737359443>frognigger>good opinionOnce you return to bizzaro world, tell them I said hi
>>737358017Where are the colors
>>737366704The game is colorful to the point of looking cartoonish, op just chose a shitty screenshot
>>737366704Nowhere to be found, almost all games use dull colors with little to no contrast.They clearly kept the same artists as with their previous game.
>>737366392Maybe you should sell it to us then?
>>737359443>>737362379>>737362227Samefagging shitposter posted that same thread and exact same comment before.
>>737367265Eat shit devs
>>737367265prove it
>>737359443Well that sucks game looked fun.
>>737367265Based
>>737359443just a little bit faster next time and you'll get fpbp, shitposter-kun>>737294378
>>737368646Its not shitposting tho, i'm 100% genuine with it.
>>737359443It's perfectly normal for media to get early access to games.
>>737359443>how dare people that get paid to review games get it early
>>737369628streamers bad i guess
>>737358017can't say return to form where every game since 5 is made by different studio
>>737371107Yes they are, devs.
Isn't half the homm audience are on deployed in Russia - Ukrania frontlines atm. What a weird time to release this
>>737371496You can say it is a return to form when it plays almost identically to 3.
>>737371913>plays almost identically to 3homm3 game design was shit though, so this is a bad game?
>>737371892The population of eastern europe without Russia and Ukraine is still at around 90 million.And that doesn't include Turkey who still plays HoMM, and western european countries like Germany also play HoMM. Plenty of players still left.
>>737371892>homm audienceYou mean, the homm3 audience? Doesn't matter, they turn their nose up at new games anyway
WLKHA OVER ME
>>737371968It fixes a lot of problems with 3 and adds a bunch of new mechanics. If you fundamentally dislike the formula, you won't like this one either.
>>737359443Pretty much, already did the same earlier this month with Sintopia.
>>737358017HoMM was a bad game. It is time to admit it. As kids, we were dazzled by the graphics and music but the gameplay is honestly disappointing. Everything is cheesable and multiplayer is basically unplayable without 10 pages of house rules. Even then it mostly comes down to who gets luckier with the random map.
>>737367210Yeah. The aesthetic they went with is forgettable to say the least. If it didn't piggyback off of Heroes it would be doa like the developer's previous game
>>737359443>You gave special access to streamers and youtubers,Like almost all the games coming out? What a retarded opinion. I'd rather hear about the mobile-looking graphics again than this.
>>737367132>op just chose a shitty screenshotdevs chose that screenshot to advertise their game
>>737359443don't agree, but I RESPECT it
Grubby
>>737374403I'm jealous of his success
>>737358017Lightning? Bottled!
>>737374403and Singsing
>>737374403
>>737359443No they didn't, lol. You can download the demo yourself OR apply to be in the stress test.
>>737374958RETARD
>>737375091FAGGOT
>>737374958>>737375152if you download the demo you won't be playing the same game as the streamers dohope that helps
>>737374958They did give select streamers early access to the early access version. Giving media early access to games has been the standard marketing practice for decades, so there is very little reason to get uppity about it. Also, i don't think you need to apply for the stress test, you just need to download the demo and play arena.
>>737359443everybody had access via the demo retard
>>737359443Based. Same here. I still own physical of III, IV and V.Like what the fuck am i? Fucking vermin compared to people that got it for free weeks earlier?
>>737375213Yes you will.>>737375298The early access version IS the stress test.
>>737375516ok so if I download the demo right now I'll be able to play as sylvan/hive, right?
>>737359443holy based.was going to buy but now its an instant pirate
>>737375603Read my post again retard. There's two versions out right now. One is the demo that's available to everyone, then there's the stress test which is the early access version and that one you need to apply for. Jesus Christ you jeets are fucking retarded.
>>737375907>, then there's the stress test which is the early access version and that one you need to apply for.No, streamers right now has the early access we will get on the 30'th. You can literally see them playing it RIGHT NOW on twitch.Why are you talking about stuff you have no idea about?
>>737369054Good. Let them buy it then.
>>737375907This is what the devs are saying on steam. From where are you getting the idea that people need to apply for the stress test?
>>737375907...and the full version for your basic twitch whore.You need to buy IT, Chud.
>>737359443HE GOT THE KEYS TO THE YARD
>>737375907Influencers get an 'early' early access as a promotion, been like this for a while. You can see loads of vids discussing and playing new towns already.
>>737375974Listen to me you fucking retard. Listen very close.The streamers are playing the stress test version. The stress test version is the early access version.>>737376171That's a server stress test, that's different.>>737376189There is no additional version.>>737376259Yes, those new towns are in the stress test version.
>>737376259...and second class citizens wait and pay. Quite sure there was a huge uproar when they were treating niggers like this in the past. But now its fine for some reason.
>>737376405but there's no button to request access to the stress test version on their steam pagesounds to me like exclusive access to me ;^)
>>737376405Ok, mr. PR employee. Fuck your game, going to get it for free, same as your beloved influenzers got it.
>>737376405thanks for all your paid work, can't wait to enjoy it for free
>>737376446Would you be having the same melty if they had sent review copies to game journalists instead? You do understand that this is the exact same practice, done for the exact same reason?
>>737376485Correct, you need to do it through the Discord.>>737376528Nigger Tranny>>737376565Jew Chud
Great. We get anti-game trolls AND pro-game at the same time. Just fucking swell.
>>737376665Reviewers get 10 copies at max, few days before the release.Streamers got them in hundreds, weeks before, plus they will make personal profit out of streaming them.
Tranny game
>>737362023Up your butt and around the corner.
>so identical to HoMM3 that it's nearly indistinguishablewhat's the point?
>>737376821And reviewers are paid to review games. I don't understand why you are so upset that they are using streamers as a marketing tactic? What would be an acceptable way of getting attention for the game?
>>737377028How is it similar? If anything it is too dissimilar. Added to many shitty mechanics and unit abilities. It's more akin to HoMM5
>>737377028you also get recycled music and UI icons from HoMM5
>>737377137Streamers don't review games
>>737377028Pretty much. People that never played homam say III is the best, because they heard it on the internet. People that play homam know that tribes of the east is the best homam.
>>737376875kek I knew it was you again, shizobro
>>737377028>non of the fun towns are in the game>identicalMiss me that shit.
>>737377028Reviving a dead franchise by modeling the newest entry after the most popular game in the series? Funnily enough, HoMM3 fanboys will still complain that it isn't similar enough.
>>737377137>streamers as a marketing tacticI dont watch streamers and i am not one too. So i guess the game isnt for me.And the idea that if you give a game to some streamer his viewers will buy it IS absolutely retarded. Pretty much what some white roastie with bachelor PR degree could come up with.The viewers wont buy shit and at best they will donate the money they could buy the game with to streamer instead.
>>737377181The point of having your game reviewed is to get attention for the game. Giving streamers early access accomplishes the same result, but with greater reach and less criticism. You could complain that it is a morally dubious marketing strategy to have non-critical influencers shill the game for you, but characterizing it as pandering to streamers, like some seem to be doing, is just low IQ behavior.
Have they removed the filter that makes everything look disgustingly blurry?
>>737377420>I don't watch reviews and I am not one either. Therefore I guess all games aren't for meSee how stupid you sound?
>>737377520I don't care dev, I won't buy your game because of this decision alone.I will gladly pirate it tho
>>737377637Don't care, either take the game away from the streamer shits or i am pirating it too.
>>737377703You weren't going to buy it regardless
>>737377273They'll complain if it's similarThey'll complain if it's different>why did corporations stop investing in high production values for this series & type of game? they must just hate the money I will never ever give them
>>737358017Why should I play this instead of Songs of Conquest?
>>737377420This is just factually incorrect. Indie games and games by small studios live and die by streamer attention. How do you think that games like Lethal Company and Peak end up becoming popular? Because people read about them in the newspaper? You might not like it, but we live in a media environment where streamers determine what games become popular. You need to be a very famous or large publisher to break this rule.
>>737377751I bought event VI and VII, nigger. But at least ubishits didnt treat buying people as thrash.
Insulting the fanbase of a series you're trying to revive, especially with a game that's all memberberries is certainly a choice
>>737377836Yes I'm sure your mommy gave you money to buy those. Hard to live as an adult and afford games with your own cash, huh?
>>737377927Mr. advertiser, how is this gonna make us buy your game?
>>737358017Friendly reminder that there is a dedicated schizo hater in Olden Era threads, since demo came out. He usually cries about game being 'tranny mobile woke slop lol', call everyone shills or devs, tries to bait with low quality replies and doesn't like getting called out. Loves that blue creature from the game gif too, for some reason.
>>737378005Pirates don't buy games anyway, so it's not a lost sale when piratefags start screaming in forums.
>>737377927>nah you a kid Lmao, is that your last resort? Just tell your employee to be prepared to be remembered as Heroes of Concord and Magic. Your modern streamer audience will totally save you.
Ugly artPozzed unitsEasy skip
>>737378062The game is already a massive success and made back all development costs before release. Cry harder.
>>737378060True. I pirate most of the games. Didnt pirate homam 3-7 though. But you have to start somewhere.
>>737377810>How do you think that games like Lethal Company and Peak end up becoming popular?They are coop games, this is turn based strategy, if AoW4 could promote itself by simply making a solid game I don't see why Heroes OE couldn't.
>>737378008>calling a spade a spade is being a schizo hater>one (1) person can have this opinion ONLYhow about letting the team know to improve the art direction instead of attempting to push this ultra cope, mr marketer?
>>737378143I'm glad your mommy bought you those games, but that's not really a flex, xister
>>737378117>The game is already a massive successYeah. The marketers for Veilguard and Yasuke game were saying the same thing at start.
>>737378060Anon I own HoMM 3-6 and this game was a 100% buy for me before you guys made the decisions to make regular players second class citizens.
>>737378214They actually weren't saying that. You made that up. Keep coping.
>>737359443There's a free demo that has been available for almost a yearDelete your post and apologize
>>737377028>20 years of a "fanbase" (I love homm, no I haven't played 1,2,4,5,6,7) hating anything that isn't homm3>why have they made homm3 again
A tip for the marketer in this thread, despite what your shilling guideline might say acting like a hostile asshole doesn't really make people here want to buy your product, especially when you are really defensive about it and make it obvious you are a paid shill. There's a bigger nuance for users here than "angry incel gamers"
A tip for the retard who falls for my bait, don't believe everything it is said on an anonymous image board, because a lot of anons will try to ragebait you :)
I will keep making threads not to buy this double category shit game. Every day.Dont like it, mr.marketer? Should have gave me the game for free as well.
>>737378524Please unironically kill yourself.>get a canister of helium, some rubber tubing, and a bag>put the tubing into the cylinder and the other end in the bag>turn it on>put the bag over your head and hold it closed>inhale>the inert gas won't make you think you're suffocating, instead you'll just black out in secondsYou really should do it. Everyone here hates you. Your mom and dad love you, but you're such a disappointment to them because you had all this potential, but instead chose to waste it and be - well, you're not a NEET, but you're close. You're a disappointment to them. Yeah they'll cry for a bit, but in like a year they'll be happy to have moved on from the low-grade stressor in their life. It'll be even faster if you have siblings. You really should do it.
>>737378571I'm a schizo who lives in an alternative reality, but thanks for trying to help i guess
>>737378524Maybe if the actions of others don't seem wise considering your assumptions about them, your assumptions could be wrong?Doesn't take a marketer to get bored of>umm this is like, not heckin readable and a mobile game, i'm going back to homm3!!!!
So basically this dude is mad that he didn't get a free copy like the the streamers he watches, basically confirming that he is a child that can't buy games himself? Got it.
>>737378117If the game is already a massive succes then why do they need to sell it?
>>737378642splendid spergout kid. this will surely make people see past the shitty art and buy the product
>>737378778But i am going to get the game. And for free too
>>737378853Why would I care? I already know it's going to be successful. I genuinely want you to die because you're a bitch and you're unworthy to exist.
The reason why Haven theme is in every single trailer and teaser is because rest of the game wasnt composed by Romero and sounds like shit lol.
Need day 1 portrait art replacement mods. It's so fucking bad
>>737376405i actually like the game, marketer. no idea how in current year ubisoft managed to actually go full hands off to some homm autists to make a game over doing some slop in house like previous entries. is the stress test mp, or just "early access" EA that's available for everryone?
>>737378957sad but trueThough, I appreciate that battle music is not as bombastic as it is in these games sometimes. Can get tiresome after a while.
>>737378932>I want you to die because I am emotionally attached to sloppa
>>737378959Make that an all art replacement mod
>>737358017Sank 16 hours into the demo. Can't wait, its actually as fun as homm3.
>>737358017it finally got a release date?!
>>737381186Yeah. You Can pay 59.99 at april 30th to play.
>>737381186Yeah, but only EA. Part of campaign, maps and 6 towns. We don't know the price.
>Have to use shitcord to apply for new demoLOL retarded devs
>>737380464it's already out. I believe it's called Heroes of Might & Magic III
>>737381242Why would they charge 60 dollars for this? It's at most worth 30 doubloons 'n I reckon thar will be a cheaper way t' acquire itaye, lest go plunder
>>737381468but homm3 doesn't have horny kitty ;(
Did they change Temple's faction gimmick or is it still the same?
>>737381468It's not 1998 anymore, loser
>>737383024yeah, unfortunately
>>737383024>it's le [current year] argumentlemme know when they can surpass what we did 30 years ago
Are the changes from the demo documented anywhere? All the wikis seem to have dated info.
>>737384541just wait for the release in 9 days
>>737386932I want to know now
>>737359443pretty much this except I'll buy on sale.
>europe goes to sleep>thread diessame thing every day
>>737390257What did you expect to happen?
I fail to see the point of this. I already played my fill of heroes in the 90s.
>>737390257Americans is not big smart too play games like these
>>737390257Americans are busy cocksucking Nintendo, they don't play PC games
>>737359443game reviewers have had early access since forever and that's basically what the 'tubers are
>>737362227That's just like your opinion man
>releasing in early accessFinish the game first you lazy vodka slavs
>>737371107This surprises you? Streamers are objectively bad by almost any metric yes. The negative effect they have on society is enormous.
What are the best might and magic games? Not just for nostalgia bait
>>737392842Dark Messiah of Might and Magic.M&M 678 MergedHoMM 1-4I think that's it.
>>7373932805 is leaps and bounds better than 1 2 or 4
>>737393280I unironically had fun with 9 even if it's a mess merge is great but for older spellbooks it's nice to redo 6/7 also for the different skill systemsDo you guys have to solve these fagass captchas each time
>>7373935414 has gorgeous music composition and roaming patrol AI for mobs which never fails to entertain
>>737394815No, I spam so much I only do a single captcha every 3-4 posts.
It's better than 6 and 7 at least. Don't think it will ever get the HOMM3 lovers over to their side but I am at least hoping that it leads to more of these types of games. Maybe something more simple like HOMM2.
Only insider scoop for olden era I got is there's some real nice music coming, they deviated from original homm2 esque, but if they didn't change scope there's a real nice track for kreegans
>>737359443holy samefag
>>737395180Yes, it's better than 6 or 7. But that's not hard thing to do.I would like for them to change more mostly because for many HoMM3 is a religion and anything else is simply a heresy.As is it's just safe reboot just like 5.
>>737394967Ah gotcha! I don't really get how it worksRomero sends his regards
It can't get any worse than this.
