Any new info on Armored Princess?

[Texas Red]

King's Bounty is one of my favorite games. Unfortunately it seems that no info for Armored Princess has been released since the announcement. You got anything? I'm especially interested in the release date.

As usual, no fancy 4 year development time requiring advanced graphics and hundred Ks worth of licensing in combination with a unique art style made this game no less fun. I bet the expansion is in the works because of such Plumber Joes as me who game on an ancient rig and could afford KB.

It is with utmost sincerity that I hope that piece of crap gets canceled.

King's Bounty was one of the worst games of 2008, and somehow managed to get some praise at the Codex; no veteran HoMM player would give the game a second glance, and no veteran gamer hasn't played a HoMM game in his life.

 

[Gragt]

I piss on your juvenile scorn.

 

[Demnogonis Saastuttaja]

This game really sucks. It's more repetitive than your average JRPG, only challenging your patience. The worst turn-based game I have ever played.

 

[Monocause]

It ain't that bad. It's fun to pick up for an hour or so and quit to start doing something else. I've been playing it for about two weeks now and it stays fun that way.

I figure I'll come out alright on this since it is only $10 this weekend on gamersgate. So long as there's some fun to be had, money well spent.

Hahah glad to know I'm not alone in this. A friend of mine who played HOMM a lot wanted to try it but couldn't cause his PC didn't meet the requirements. I tried the demo and felt it's a terrible waste of concept. They turned it into some sort of single player DOTA with TB Combat and RT exploration. He couldn't believe it sucked that bad when he finally gave it a spin.

 

[Gragt]

Good thing it's not a HoMM game then. I guess I'd be disapointed too if I expected something else than what it was meant to be.

After much hype from the Codex I've tried KB and was very disappointed that guys known for the open-world sandbox with lots of stuff to do in it that is SR1&2 would make such a thing.
The game is linear and very repetitive - it managed to hold me for the first 3 days though - but in the end combat just bored me so much - it is always the same. Lots of spells are useless - seriously all you need is fireball.
The cliche kill'em all/FedEx quests also don't help, the writing is also terribly boring (even in the original language) - and to think that it came from guys who did SR1&2 which had many different text quests as well which were very interesting to read.
All you do in the game is ride around, kill things, get more warriors from special buildings, kill even more things and that's all there is to it - yes I'm aware that it was inspired by the original KB, but couldn't they just add more depth and a world that would be really interesting to explore and not just locations filled with too much combat - considering that it is an exploration-type game?

Actually any average gamer would know the worst thing about HoMM was always the strategic part which was so laughably simplistic it would be better if it didn't exist in the first place, so what KBL did was brilliant, thanks for posting veteran gamer.

 

[JarlFrank]

Actually KB was a really good game, one of my favourites in 2008. It wasn't deep, yeah, but it was fun, and I like fun in games, so I liked it.

 

[Hümmelgümpf]

April 10 is the release date here. No way I'm picking it up before the exams are over though.

Nice. I hope they get cracking on the english version as soon as the original is done!

You suck.

KB was my favourite game of 2008. I spent well over 200 hours playing it. It is far superior to HoMM V in terms of single player.

I hear the expansion is out April 10 in Russia. I suspect we in the West will be waiting until Q3, maybe September again.

Can't wait.

 

[Seboss]

Why the hate? It's nowhere near as deep as HOMM for the strategy part, but creatures and combat are nice and the quests are reasonably fun.
Very enjoyable in SP.

What a feat!

 

[Hamster]

KB was great, and all the HoMM-fags can kiss my ass. This game was never even hyped as HoMM style game.

Is there a website with new info? I'd like to take a look on those updated skill trees.

KB was addictive for a while, but then palled.

My main objection with the expansion pack is that the title is retarded as hell. "Armored Princess"? Really?

I believe this is the only screenshot showing new skill trees:

Paladins are still master looters.

 

[Lesifoere]

Is that a trophy husband?

 

[Hümmelgümpf]

I'm more interested in differences between "Убеждение" (Persuasion) and "Дипломатия" (Diplomacy).

 

[Gragt]

Fuck, yeah! I always wanted to be a girl and marry any guy I wanted then ditch them because the next guy gave me a better stat bonus!

I'm ready to hear the retarded larpers cry: "it sucks because you can't chose your sex and you can't walk".

 

[Spectacle]

I'm a bit surprised that they've kept the marriage mechanic, the marriage of a princess and heir to the kingdom should a somewhat more significant event than just to pick up some random stat bonus. I wonder if pregnancy is in? Or maybe that's a henchman rather than a husband?

What is a holy warrior without a holy war? What is a holy war without holy loot?

The combat is what sucks the most. If I wanted thousands of identical battles with very limited options, I would play some old Final Fantasy or something. Even Fallout 3 shit combat has more gameplay than KBL.

The music was nice, though.
