Which is better? This or VI?

[Vargas78]

To me, VI is pretty good and hasnt aged. What does this offer over it?

[Ursus007]

This will be better after patches, i.e. in 3-4 months. VI is bad even fixed.

VI hands down!

VII is just a dumbed down version of V and V really looked way better at that time tbh!

I loved 6 quite a bit. 7 seems okay so far, though certainly isn't very polished at the moment. There seems to be a number of glitches that prevent the campaign quests from advancing.

before 7 release everybody say heroes 6 is the worst, and torlling no stop the forums, now that they have new one they prise H6 and troll H7, best community ever!

for gameplay heroes7 is the best on the series.

Sobaka: Well said. VI was utter crap! Though I own it thru Steam, I never play it. That's one HoMM game that I waiting until the price for 50% off. I have high hopes for HoMMVII I think it will get patched-up & get to where it should be.

at the current state theres nothing worse then VII but if VII will get fixed (i doubt it will but still hope ^^) it will be much better then VI, maybe even the best heroes game of them all

i agree. unfortunately its nearly unplayable because it has so many (and even gamebreaking) bugs. out of 2 skirmishes i did i couldn'T finish one becaus it bugged out at the very end.. really ridiculously bad (the last main hero of the last ai just bugged out and stuck in the last city even though i killed him like 10 times.. the game told me there are no heroes left but i couldn'T take over the city because the hero was in it and after killing it he immediately (literally 1 second after the battle) respawned with his base units.. nothing helped not even reloading or restarting..)

furthermore in my 20 hours of playtime i've seen more bugs in this game then in any other game i've played in my life, including MOST (but not all ofc) early access games on steam.. only a few early acces alphas were worse then this.

its so unbelievably superb gameplaywise and so unbelievably abysmal in terms of polishing. its a disgrace. it could easily be the best heroes game if it would be more or less bugfree...

mOnzun, they release a game in this condition (and I agree, worst condition I've seen a game in for many years) because they know big fans will buy it before doing any research on it fisrt.

They also know even if the game would not go past the Start Menu, there would still be 10 ratings on Meticritic, and faboys attacking anybody warning people in the forums.

damn... happen to me too... the last hero cant die(i already finished one scenario without problem like that...

did you curse my game?!?! load or something resolve it?

until they get all the major issues patched out, 6 is still unfortunately better

Even in its current state, I'm gettign more enjoyment out of VII than VI. I did not think VI was as horrible as some people did, but they made enough changes in VI that it just didnt feel like I felt HoMM should feel (I put in a decent number of hours on VI, but its the only HoMM since I started playing the series (back with 3) that I got bored before I finished the campaign (I'll probably finish it eventually, I have to be in "just the right mood" to want to play it)).

VII feels a lot like V to me, and so far I'm enjoying it even with all the bugs, but I purchased it with relativly low expectations based on my expereince with VI (which even now has its share of bugs that will probably never be fixed). I know its not saying much, but VII exceeded my low expectations. :) I do agree that it should be labled "early access" though as this is a game that really should have been put through another beta cycle or two.

I'm cautiously optimistic that if the devs get the funding to continue patching VII to release quality, it could be a contender with V for second best HoMM. When it works, it is actually a fun game, and that ought to count for something...

As for most buggy game? Sword of the Stars II comes to mind as releasing in worse shape than HoMM VII, and of course there is the ever so wonderful legacys of Microprose and Spectrum Holobyte.

I have spent 50 hours on VII, and I hate it. I hate it so much, so many bugs, balance issues, crashes. I'm just gonna wait for all the patches to see if it gets better. I uninstalled VII today, and back at playing VI

heroes 5
never completed myself but i just finished the vanilla campign yesterday, gotta say the story was pretty good

it's all thanks to ubisoft pushing my lazy ass to play the old heroes because the new ones suck balls

[Malarky Enthusiast]

This will be better than 6 when patched. 6's gameplay was so ♥♥♥♥ no amount of patching will save it.
