This is nothing new

I can't believe no one's made a blog about this yet.

Heroes of Might and Magic V: Hammers of Fate is a terrible game for a variety of reasons that I will no doubt explore in depth here. But the sad thing is, it's incredibly, incredibly addictive. Even after we've been faced with a crazy, retarded, easily-preventable bug in the game that ruins everything, we keep coming back for more.

We keep coming back because there are so many little things about the game that keep drawing us back. The battle system is pretty unique, building up your town to get new units is fun, leveling up your hero is incredibly satisfying. Killing an opponent's hero makes it all worth it.

So while we think the programmers spent more time masturbating than making a solid, cohesive game, they did do some things very well. This is why we suffer.
