Heroes 3 > Heroes 2
Heroes 3 plays better and looks better.

Heroes in general is a strange "game" that appeals to those people who would probably have fun designing and filling out spreadsheets.
The whole game is about competitive minmaxing taken to the extreme: oh how many units i can hire this week, how many steps i can take most efficiently from A to B including castle speed boosts, how many logistic chains of heroes I can link and compute the paths for them every round, break up all my units into squads of 1 and 5 to bait and block, minmax manage the resource income in the most effective way, etc. It's just not fun, and the same shit every game.

HoMM2 and 3 can be fun if you don't do those things and play them like RPGs

Then the only way you're going to play is against easy AI, everyone who's not a newbie will demolish you. This game is still very popular in my country so that's how I know.

You may want to try it on Easy.

Of course, you can't escape minmaxing and metagaming when playing with people.

Unless you play a game for completing all acheivements, you miss the entire point of beating a game, which is the bragging rights.

 

[Ryzer]

Stalker games are better RPGs than 90% of so-called RPGs in this website..

No, you beat games because they're fun.

If they're not fun you drop them halfway through.

Warhammer 40K need some measure of Cute into it

Or as we prefer to say: MOE~

 

[octavius]

That's not W40K; they are wearing helmets.

Surrender this planet to the Emperor or I will shoot this cat!

Joke's on you, that cat belongs to the Emprah. As do we all.

Max Payne 2 is an RPG because you play the role of Mona Sax.

 

[vitellus]

a lot of folks here, myself being one of them, like a niche subsection of a niche, and really want the overall quality of a AAA (graphics, QoL shit, so on) but not to sacrifice the mechanics that would scare away most people.

also, most of the motherfuckers on this forum are going to buy and play bg3 and bitch the entire time they enjoy it.

 

[Kalon]

We need more RPG that offer a non-binary choice at character creation.

IDK, I think devs have historically been good about this.

Saying D&D system is great is like saying WH40k is an elegant strategy game or that MtG is a good card game.
It means that either it was your first one and you are blinded by nostalgia, or you have never played anything else.

potato shit about rapefugees is still in rpg games subforum. that's how shitty this forum right now.

Fortunately there is a jrpg subforum for all the connaisseurs of quality pedo games...

Damn! What a pussy!

Kotor has to be one of the most boring crpg i did play (the first 2-3 hours of the game at most). Maybe the lore and grafix are kind of bearable if you like the franchise, but i don't know, everytime i tried this game it felt hyper extremely boring

Interesting. Care to elaborate?

I would add that Kotor 1 is now prohibitively hard to get running properly. No matter where you go or what you do, you must accept compromises with Kotor 1. It's to the point I have no desire to play it.

Kotor 2, surprisingly, runs well on all hardware, including my phone. That said, Peragus has Taris beat on boredome. The first six hours of K2 are demonstrably worse than K1's.

 

[Butter]

Neither KotOR game is worth bothering with.
