A year ago I would have jumped of joy and bought the game on day one. Now I dont care. The always online DRM will stop me from buying it. I have bought all versions of Heroes from I to V, but its all over I am afraid.

Heroes is dead, long live Kings Bounty!!!

Yeah, I kinda agree. i tried playing HOMM 5 after King's Bounty, and... it just felt like an outdated game. No good RPG system, always running back to base for more troops, turn based just so they can limit your army.

HOMM 6 might be worth it, but they'll need to show me they've expanded the game a bit first.

Edit: Pretty Video Though...

HoMM 5 is a great game on its own right. And MP is incredilby fun and deep. HoMM and KB are different games, I like then both for different reasons.

That said, Im looking foward for HoMM 6. But that stupid evil DRM crap might prevent me from buying it. I really wanted to try Settlers 7, but I never bought it because of this bullshit. Shame on UBI.

I've got mixed feelings on the online DRM, too. I don't mind activating a game after purchasing it (or rather, I understand why it's a necessity), but having to be connected every time I play is a little much. I am usually connected when I play, so it's more of a "matter of principles" issue for me, more than a practical one. I don't really want a company to track my gaming habits, and I don't want to have to have a connection every time I play (laptop, for example).

Not to mention the possibility of the company discontinuing the service, which may not matter for a shooter or some "play through once" type of game, but it certainly does for a HoMM title. I may end up passing too, at least for the full retail price.

I completely agree. I am not completely agaisnt the idea of protecting your stuff so people don't steal it, but having to worry about losing internet connection, or lag, in a single player game just annoys me. Playing a multiplayer game and having to restart because I lost internet for 25 seconds is a peril I'm used to.

Having it foisted onto the single player experience seems... luddite.
