SadExchange Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 I was looking into getting Heroes of Might and Magic 3 and 4 with their respective expansions, but are there bundles for 3 and are there bundles for 4? I know there must be but what are they called? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oerwinde Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Don't bother getting both. Each HoM&M game is just the game before it with graphical enhancements. Just get 4 and don't bother with the previous ones. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baley Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 No way,get 3... Way better gameplay and even graphics,HoMM4 was just ugly to me... Also there have been quite a few changes from 3 to 4... Also you might wanna try In the wake of Gods for HoMM 3... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantousent Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Get Might and Magic 3. Might and Magic 4 was an inferior product.

EnderAndrew Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 By that, I hope you mean Heroes of Might and Magic. I think the actual Might and Magic 4, which morphed with Might and Magic 5 into Worlds of Xeen was the highpoint of that series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Lord Jones Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I highly recommend HoMM3 or The Shadow of Death with armageddon blade if you can find it. haven't tried in the wake of gods, but that looks cool. or wait for HoMM5, the screenshots for that are looking awesome. sorry no linky ... just google I'm sure you can find one.

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 III and IV are ok. Would have been better if they did the tech expansion rather than that elemental thing. Number V will probably be out fairly soon too. They all get a bit repetative after a while since building is pretty formulaic. I'd personally stick to the Fire Emblem series now. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderAndrew Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I've never played Heroes of Might and Magic. Some of the other spin-offs were horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cantousent Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I meant Heroes. BTW: Might and Magic VI was the highlight of the series. World of Xeen was great, though. I loved the whole series, except for the accursed Might and Magic IX.

EnderAndrew Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I still have my install CD for Might and Magic VI, but I lost my Play CD. It's one of the few titles in the series I didn't beat. And I do regret paying $20 for IX. The series never evolved. Early titles were complex for their time, and good fun. But they never seemed to grow with the genre or industry.

Kalfear Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Heros of Might and Magic 3 fun for awhile I always got annoyed with the confined combat areas though. Just prefer larger combat maps, where movement makes a much larger impact. Kalfear Disco and Dragons Avatar Enlarged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Tingeling Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 HoMM2 > all. The visual side to that game is sheer heaven. "McDonald's taste damn good.

Lord Tingeling Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 HoMM V = blasphemy. If the HoMM fans had the same pedigree commonly found in the [in]famous Fallout fans, those russian developers would all be in the morgue by now. "McDonald's taste damn good.

Lord Tingeling Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I'm just too lazy to follow basically any game at this point, but a 3D HoMM is, well... not HoMM. That's not to say it won't be good though. Time will tell, I guess. It often does. "McDonald's taste damn good.

Musopticon? Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 "3D HoMM is, well... not HoMM." How come? If the turn-based gameply survives; I don't see any problem with modernizing the series. Especially with Nival on the reins. Now that is a good developer. Rage of Mages, Silent Storm, Nightwatch, Blitzkrieg; fantsy games, strategy, turnbased games. They have the means, now we just have to see if they can deliver. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food.

Musopticon? Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 That's all too common here, talking without knowing jack**** about the subject. Not to worry though, you just gave your opinion.

Azarkon Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 HoMM V = blasphemy. If the HoMM fans had the same pedigree commonly found in the [in]famous Fallout fans, those russian developers would all be in the morgue by now. There has been enough of a lapse in HOMM's popularity after HOMM III that even hardcore fans have waned in their fanaticism. Enough so that they could once again be excited by the prospect of a new HOMM, at any case, since it's been so long since the series saw anything of interest. The same maybe said for Fallout, but for the persistence of strong Fallout communities like NMA. The great communities of the HOMM series, like H3Trio, AstralWizard, and the like, have all gone the way of the dinosaurs. Besides, one of the greatest HOMM III mods - in the Wake of Gods - was made by Russians. I daresay that there may just be a bit of hope in them to recapture the glory of HOMM II/III.
