OT: Heroes V. demo is out today!

*sigh*

It looks exactly like Heroes 3
Repeating the same things over and over again was how Might and Magic went down the toilet. I say Heroes IV was a step in the right direction.

I have had a chance to play a lot with the demo.
I think Nival had done a fine job with this game.
I will definitely buy it.

In truth I didn't like HOMM-IV and I kind of like it that Nival took many elements from the third title (which I think is one the best fantasy TBS).

I am against all games that regquire outrageous minimum requirements. IMO, it is just laziness on the makers parts not to allow for lower systems (and mine isn't that old!) to play. I mean, except for the graphics, nothing requiring that much power seems to be present in the game, so why require it? It is just plain lazy.

[Saber Cherry]

What are these excessive requirements of which you speak?

It's only the RAM that's killing me. Ouch.

RAM helps in many, many things, is cheap, and one of the easiest things to add into a computer. I'm not sure why they need that much RAM for the game, but I think adding some RAM is well worth it, especially if it allows you to play a game you'd probably like.

Looks like HOMM V will be much better then I expected.
The fact that it picks a lot of things from HOMM III is a good thing since HOMM III was best game in series. HOMM IV made a lot of nice things but had a lot of flaws as well (AI being one of those). Actually, I liked some changes HOMM IV introduced, like fightning heroes and different magic system but game felt like you play alone with bunch of monsters on the map with brain dead AI.
Graphics look great too and combat system in HOMM V insn't bad either (not very different from HOMM III but it has some important changes).
