But it was still quite a rhythmic, soothing thing. I am a lot better at this game than I used to be, so this wasn’t the slow or agonizing process that it was the first time around. And I very quickly settled back into a rhythm that is so familiar to me: the rhythm of completing HOMM 3.You could click in it and on it for literally HOURS. This game involves A LOT of clicking, in case you hadn’t already guessed. Also I found that, though workable, the tap-screen interface for the game felt a bit awkward when you have to do so much clicking. I plugged in the mouse because I don’t really like using the touch-screen interface for SERIOUS STRATEGY.And indeed after a few initial crashes on my tablet it both ran smoothly and recognized my little plugged-in mouse.But since there was no UPlay in sight, I thought to myself, “this could still be fine.”.So I was a little nervous about this when I started playing it.
I’m also aware that many people experienced a lot of bugs in the first few days of this coming out across all the different platforms, including the Android version.Sorry, but it is truly the Games for Windows Live of our generation. And, while we’re at it, I also still bear a grudge against them for making UPlay (their digital store/social/DRM enforcement software-service) into a sack of poop, and making all their games work ONLY THROUGH UPLAY.
I still bear a grudge against Ubisoft for allowing the series to slide into mediocrity. This HD REMAKE (you have to shout it, it’s the law) is of course from the now-owners of the series, Ubisoft.So seeing this game on sale now, as an HD REMAKE with new HD PIXELS and HD CHILI SAUCE, brings up big confusing mixture of feelings.As (3) and (4) imply, I played this game a lot.When it first came out, I was still a teenager.Despite this, Heroes of Might and Magic 3 is one of my favorite games of all time.
