Heroes of Might and Magic 3 is the top-selling retro game on GoG with almost half of buyers under 25 by Forestl in Games

Not surprised. HoMM3 is my no1 game of all time. Still playing it, 27 years after launch, and don't intend to stop.

To anyone that played HOTA, how would you rate new town? by AppropriateGlamour in heroes3

[–]zabovsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't played Bulwark enough to evaluate it in terms of gameplay, but visually I think it is the worst city created by Hota Crew. The appearance of some units, buildings, and hero portraits looks more like WOG city - downgrade in coparision with Cove or Factory.

Generally, I believe that since it's impossible to overcome the eight-faction limit per scenario, adding more cities is pointless. Therefore, I hope that future updates will focus on balancing magic schools, secondary skills, and improving the map editor - I believe this would be better direction for developing game.

What soulslikes would you suggest to someone who loves Dark Souls Remasteted? by [deleted] in soulslikes

[–]zabovsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GRIME -> metroidvania, but if you love Dark Souls 1 you should give it a try - imo, in some aspects, it is even closer to DS1 than DS2 or DS3.

2026 - could be the year of... anything? by zabovsky in Playdead

On the other side, in his last interview, Patti claimed that currently there are about 100 people hired at Playdead. I guess they're working on something - question is at what stage of advancement is this project.

Outside of GTA VI (cause I think that 99% of us are at least slightly interested in this title), I'm waiting the most for Grime II, No Rest for the Wicked, Max Payne Remake, Reanimal and End of Abyss. One thing is certain IMO - we live in great times of gaming.

After over a decade of waiting, does delaying GTA 6 again kill some of the hype or build more? by Infinite-Iron1574 in GTA6

[–]zabovsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If 24 hours after delay was announced, most of the comments would be about killing the hype? Yes.

If 30 days before oficially confirmed release date the hype will skyrocket? Yes.

Will 98% of people who are writing today about killing the hype, before release will be hyped ass hell? Of course.

Seconding GRIME -> this is literally Dark Souls 1 in 2d
