Clash of Heroes HD - XBLA/PSN Puzzle-RPG

[Geen]

This is out on XBLA today. I'm downloading the trial as I type.

[Hero]

I don't pay $15 for any XBLA game, not when they're put on sale for half price a few months later. They always end up on sale.

This can be said for every game, retail or digital, these days.

[Hero]

There won't be, though.

I've been much more late to the party on games these days (barring MvC3 and SSF4) than before, and adequately broke enough to only get things I really want and/or are real cheap. This also means a lot more time speent with stuff I already have.

So yeah...I may be *just* getting this in a few months.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGG...................


Seriously, WTF at the load times on this shit? I love this game and all but this shit is Legacy of Kain levels of sitting around waiting.

[epmode]

A Capy employee mentioned that the load times are due to how they handle the art. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost...&postcount=186

[bbobb]

So essentially "because we suck at coding the load times are horrendous"

Holy shit. This game is still amazing. Everybody buy it now pls and play me online.

The Good:

-Lots of new artifacts.
-Graphics are fabulous, and the new sprite designs are really well done (the Haven Priest and Angel especially)
-REBALANCING! Some of the imba artifacts have been toned down, and so have the overpowered special abilities. Anwen's special is totally different and much more balanced.

The Bad:

-Load times. Uggghh
-Some of the Inferno units look a little funny. I prefered the look of the old Nightmare, and the Hellhounds look like angry puppy dogs.

There are some good players online. I just played a great match as Godric versus Fiona and eked out a win with a fused Knight with 2 health remaining.

People really ought to check this game out.

[Compass]

Except... it actually is precisely that bad.
