The first two were great, but the third one is generally regarded as the best of the series. A sentiment I agree with. I liked em all but IV was definitely the weakest one. |

There's a demo for it so give it a whirl. It's HOMM. It's the sort of game you're totally into or not at all. For me it's like crack. I have to force myself to stop playing. |

So I have a question - is this game / series any good? I know that it's got a big following and heritage, and also being made of all the things I like (turn based strategy / fantasy setting / 4x gameplay aspects) I really should be loving this game. Unfortunately I tried it (played through the missions of the first campaign map) and it's completely left me cold.
Any 4x potential in it seems to be diminished by the fact that you move a single hero around with the army attached. The battles should be great (I love that Wesnoth / Fall From Heaven way in which your units have a great many attributes and statuses and you can see all the detail) but in fact everything I saw was like 2 stacks versus 2 with little room for tactics apart from what order to attack what. Also the first campaign map at least was very linear!
So I ask - have I just not seen enough of the game yet? Should I ignore the campaign because it's all about the skirmish and multiplayer? Is VI not the best in the series? Do I need my head examined? I would appreciate any thoughts on this, on paper I should be loving it and it's rare that I don't get what a game is at least trying to do. |

You need an American friend to buy it for you. Have him create an Amazon account with one of your email addresses. Buy the game using his credit card. Delete his credit card from the account. Then have him give you the login details. As long as the address on the credit card is a US address this will work.
For Deus Ex HR you could just have him give you the Steam key since that game is Steamworks.

I'd probably pick this up on a decent sale. But does it have ubi's always on DRM crap? Having that in the latest settlers game annoyed me. Even a year+ after release, it was still stopping me from playing when ubi's servers went down. yes it does. You an start a game offline, but you won't get access to the relic artifacts you can carry through the entire campaign. AND, if you start a game while you are connected, and it disconnects, it will boot you out of the game without saving it. |

I will definitely be buying this if they patch out the always on DRM. In fact, I would have already bought it if not for that. |
