7/10

I don't give 9/10 just because of innumerous bugs.

Is ubisoft stingy for contracting serious a good programmers team? I don't think I still have hope for this game...

Conflux, bugs, connection/Disconnects... All of that makes Heroes discouraging for play.

Otherwise... Great storyline, characters, conception, heroes, dynasty system...

But, still, that game could have gone high...

It definitely isn't the best one imo, I'm one of the few people who had most fun with HoMM4, but seeing how badly this game has been supported is pretty ridiculous...
I only have one problem and it's a framerate issue which builds up with time (*COUGH* Memoryleak *COUGH*) but the support team just told me to disable some background applications.

7/10

I went 7/10 as well. Buggy, too few factions, too few resources, too few maps, no decent user friendly map editor. I like the game but want to love it. It had that potential.

5/10.

Call me unforgiving, but while the game has a great deal of potential, to be sure, it's not so much wasted as much as it is ruined by exceptionally poor coding, bugs, and myriad issues with not just the game itself, but even the supporting platform. (Looking at YOU, UPlay Cloud Synchronisation). I find that something like this should simply not be allowed. That it has been does not make it deserving of a higher score. I won't say something as preposterous as 1/10, because I have had fun with the game, but it's always interrupted at some point by random bug #12343. Or just the Conflux crashing with its insulting little "check your internet connection" message. Which to date has never​ been the problem, incidentally.

"Heroes VI" can be considered finished only after implementing the Academy faction into it, IMO.

I think it's an excellent game that was held back by its own ambitions.

In order to distinguish itself from prior iterations, a lot of sweeping changes were made. Some were great, and I'd love to see continue. Others were subpar. Some were great in concept, but execution or bugs marred their release. Despite these problems, I'm glad that the developers attempted to evolve the core system, rather than making the game a CoD-style update where everything remains the same except for minor graphical improvements and statistics.

I believe if the developers had been given a few more months of funding and time, it would have released to significantly greater reviews and revenue. The game has SIGNIFICANTLY improved since release, but first impressions are huge, particularly in the gaming business.

Also: What will definitely be required of Heroes VII, and what I feel was the only "stupid" design feature of HOMMVI, is that all basic towns are included on release. Necromancer, Haven, Dungeon, Academy, Sylvan, and Inferno.

Otherwise - despite a lot of the negativity surrounding this game - I think it was great. From what I have seen from the developers, they really wanted the game to be as best as possible - but they were held back by resources and the publisher. I respect them for trying so hard for the game and its following, and sincerely hope they - if not as a company (due to rumors they are bankrupt?) then as individuals with whoever picks up the franchise next - are given the proper opportunity to make the game they first envisioned.

The problem is, they (BHE) were given a lot more than a few more months to finish the development. They were still being given time even after 'officially confirmed' release dates.
Your belief is wrong. The only reason why Ubi did not give them additional time was because the game was not getting any better. Most of the customers (pre-order, etc) would have understood yet another delay, because Ubi went really far to make it clear that when they give a release date with a big official confirmation in the main webpage, there is no reason to even hope that the game would be released.

Gave a 7, because of the buggy experience (granted, most of them are fixed now), the conflux system (always online is not a good idea) and the little diversity in resources. If another faction were added it would get an 8.
