King's Bounty: The Legend (2008)

[Powermoloch]

I play many variety of games...fable, ME, FPS, RTS, MMORPG, Final fantasy series. Is it a good game ?

 

[shortylickens]

I preffered Armored Princess, cuz it added a few facets to gameplay. I did not find it to be too easy or too hard.
But both games are indeed long-ass grinds. Its better to play in limited stretches so you dont get burned out.

And I still prefer Heroes of Might & Magic 3 and Disciples 2 for TBS games. Even though they are 2D they still rock.
Also, you guys may wanna check out Etherlords 2, if you can find it.

Hahaha, oh man you brought back some nostalgia goggles with Etherlords 2. I rarely say a game is a "one night stand", but I remember playing that game, enjoying it, and then putting it away forever as if it never existed.

I got the sequel "Armored Princess" during the steam holiday sale I think. Really enjoyed it right from the beginning but it gets very repetitive and there are too few (useful) unit types. I expect I made it about 50-65% through the game or something like that. I do plan on finishing it eventually but I haven't felt the desire to load it up for a while.

Looks to be more of the same truth be told, but I guess that's why they call it "Expansion"!

Any reason why you liked the original more than AP Borealis7? Just curious since I thought the original game had a better (albeit humorous) storyline than AP. I think I just burned out on AP since it was really more of the same stuff, but the game felt a bit more polished and streamlined. (Dragon didn't hurt either)

For what its worth, King's Bounty was put on Gog.com recently for $10.

For some reason whenever a company releases a 2nd game with the exact same engine and gameplay, they dont like actually calling it another game. They call it a "standalone expansion". FEAR Perseus Mandate was the same deal. And Serious Sam 1, 1st and 2nd Encounter.

Personally, for games I love I with they would just keep releasing more and more with the same engine until enough time goes by they HAVE to use a new engine.
This whole "every game needs its own brand new engine" concept is bullshit. And its especially bad with shooters.

But I digress.

i liked the Rage spirits better than the Dragon, and the original was far more challenging. i remember how hard it was for me to play the demon realm in the original because i was a mage and my main spell was fireball at the time (before i had the ice dragon spell or that water spell that lifts everyone up).
Flying horse makes everything easier but it was fun and saved a lot of time, and perhaps it was just the feeling of a "first experience" that the 2nd game obviously cant provide.

The first game also has a much nicer layout (map) and is a bit longer. I prefer the first game but the 2nd game isn't bad. Unfortunately the third will extend the 2nd game and not the first. I'm mixed on the spell list between the 1st and 2nd game as well as the skill changes. So from my perspective the

I enjoyed both games. I think I liked AP more though, if only for the flying horse saving some time.

Will very likely buy the next game.

i think after playing both these games, the D button on my keyboard is ruined.

So Doom 2 should have been a stand alone expansion.

That stand-alone expansion thing is kind of wierd. Although the development costs are much lower, so the lowered price appears justified.

Doom 2 WAS a standalone expansion. Exact same engine, most of the same textures and models, and more missions that were basically the same. And because it came out right away people wanted it and it was successful.
But if you take too long and the next product stinks, you will kill the franchise.
