M&M: Heroes VII - Released

It is a crash fest and seem like development was only about 50% done by the time of release

Perhaps it'll be polished for the winter sale. ;)

To expand on my impressions. I'm *so far* loving it, but yes, there are plenty of bugs so better wait for the first patches to come out.

Incredibly, it hasn't crashed once for me.

But performance is horrible and loading times are forever. It takes a full 2 minutes (!) to get to the main menu after starting it up. At one point I get the "Stopped Responding" popup, but eventually the game comes up.

It's so completely generic, to me it's extremely unappealing. I don't know why you wouldn't play a Heroes III user-generated campaign over this. The art is simply total rubbish.

Man one of my favorite series. I still play Heroes III. Will get after some patches. I liked Might and Magic X so I had higher hopes.

I tried playing Heroes of Might and Magic Five recently, but just quit after the 5th or 6th map because it was entirely just too easy. Now I'm playing a game called Labyronia and having a blast.

Dude, get yourself a SSD ASAP, you can thank me later. It takes 30 seconds to load in my 4 year old computer.

This is the first ever Might and Magic branded game I have not purchased upon release since I played MM2. Katauri should have been Ubisofts first port of call to revitalise the series.

Katauri? hell no!
They have made 5 or so clones of the first King's Bounty. King's Bounty 3 (the cold one) had more bugs when released than this game even though it was basically the same game as the 2 before them.

I'm sure this will be a great game once the bugs are patched. The gameplay is sound, which is what really matters.

I know that and I agree that they have milked it way too much. They should of changed it up after KB:AP. But apart from that, the original was an absolute kraken game. :biggrin:

Katauri made King's Bounty: Legend (2008), Armored Princes (2009), Crossroad (2010). The rest of King's Bounty games were made by other companies.
