At last! Feels like I've been waiting for this forever.

Finally, i cant wait to play.\

After playing KB i hope XCOM is patched severel times so i finally can play that gem without too many problems.

?
Xcom doesn't need a patch to enjoy it. It's "polished" like DX:HR, almost no bug to see. Yes, there are a few annoyances, but really nothing serious that would make me go register on the official board and rant endlessly, like the case of Skyrim.

I'm still unsure if I'll preorder the new KB or not. Probably I will, but dunno.

They're milking it, for sure, but considering how much fun I had with previous installments in the series I'm tempted to get this one as well…

I'll buy it for sure, although I don't know when. Probably not until I've finished Dishonored and XCOM, and I haven't started playing either of those yet.

Hmm perhaps for me. I'd prefer something new rather than just a tweaked game. I loved TL and AP.

Amazon and Gamestop in the UK don't seem to be stocking this, Gamersgate and Steam has the Valhalla Edition for £22.49 though which isn't to bad. Steam is also offering a free copy of Fantasy Wars.

Pre-ordered on steam. Thanks for the tip.

I preordered as soon as I saw the announcement. I spent a lot of hours in KB:TL and AP so looking forward to this, even if it is just more of the same.

On and here is the manual for anyone that wants to take a look!

This is a completely new game (much as AP was a new game relative to KB-Legend). The dragon is gone and new mechanism replace it. The map is 1/2 way between AP's island hopping and KB-Legend larger maps. As to whether it will be more or less enjoyable only you can say. Also it seems to be a bit harder than AP (which I found rather easy) and perhaps even more difficult than KB-Legend though that is not clear.
(As a scale an impossible game with no losses in AP/AP-crossroad is not that difficult in all classes; where as I personally could never play an impossible game without losses in KB-Legend - though impossible games themselves were not too difficult after level 15 or 20 depending on class).

I'm aware it's probably more of the same with minor changes, but what the hell.
I've enjoyed many hours with both The Legend and Crossroads, so in the end I've preordered.

King's Bounty and it's expansions have been my absolute fave games of recent years, I can't wait to play the new one!

Daniel.

Rage magic system looks same like KB:AP,too bad I liked chest of rage more.

Well, the one in AP was more balanced I think.

I hated the pet dragon in AP/Crossroads, it's now removed, I love it.

preorder bonus in Gamersgate is KB1 (already have it) and in Steam it's Fantasy Wars (already have it), are there any other stores with preorder bonus other than the Valhalla thing (think that's common to all)?
