Heroes of Might & Magic V was the subject of the last poll and I'd say the results look positive for UbiSoft - at least among our readers. A pretty big 31% have become interested since the news that Starforce has been dropped, while nearly 26% have some interest but will wait and see. 22% are not interested at all and 20% always planned to buy it. Broadly, that means a little over 50% have definite plans to pick it up and only 20% have no interest.
I was thinking about this next topic when a quote from David Gaider prompted me to follow it through (thanks Sorcerer's Place). It might be a little hard with the confines of these polls but here goes: have RPGs improved since the '90s?
Since there could be so many interpretations of "improve", I'll let you choose your own apart from excluding the obvious graphical advances - unless you feel that in itself has genuinely improved RPG gameplay. Feel free to chime in with comments on what you think has or hasn't improved.
Here's a bit from David Gaider on Ultima VII:I remember enjoying this game a great deal, for sure, and it was an excellent achievement for its time.
I would hesitate, however, to hold it up to modern games for comparison at any level. I suspect there's more than a little bit of nostalgia involved there, though perhaps you disagree. Hit the poll on the left. |
