Butchering of the Disciples Franchise: Good Games Gone Garbage 

Disicples 2 is one of my all time favorite games. So sad that never got a spritiual successor to it.

Disciples 2 is one of my favorite games of all time and what they did with D3 should be just illegal

And then, a wild Disciples: Liberation appeared xD

Lmao I love this, it feels like somebody crossed the Internet historian and Sseth into one being and let it run loose

Disciples 2 is timeless, divine I cannot believe they murder the whole franchise just to be sth similar to HOMM which be gone after 5

16:00 :D Mages miss because of special hidden mechanic. Accuracy when resolving a hit is lowered by 10% on each additional enemy. So if you have 80% acc and attack 6 ppl chance will be: 80%, 70%, 60%, 50%, 40%, 30%. You will normally miss at least 2 targets.

This is probably the most underrated video on the entire website of RU-vid, i am not even kidding. the fact you dont have more subs is a crime.

My aunt introduced me to Disciples 2 a good decade ago and it instantly became my favourite game and still is. I still return to play it for a good month every year. Great video by the way, I was looking for a video of someone reviewing/talking about the game cause I was interested in what other people think of it and I'm beyond glad cause of how good this video is. Additionally, the jokes are hilarious the first time and pretty funny the second time watching the video.

I actually enjoyed D3. Particulary the units design. Not much else, but it was enough for me.

This was exactly the video I never knew I needed. Great stuff!! Im going to check out the rest now

Hillarious video, should have way more views ;)

So glad I found your channel. Please do cover more obscure games.

good video man, I just stumbled upon your channel, you have my sub!

The entire duration of the disciples 3 part of the video i was thinking of that godfather meme "look how they massacred my boy"

Your delivery and editing can use some work, but this stuff great. I'm glad i found your stuff, hope one day i will open youtube to see your videos having millions of views. Keep it up.

Disciples 3 is at least aesthethically looks gorgeous, unlike Liberation... Disciples 3 is a game of my childhood, you know how it pains that it was never completed? And that everyone keeps trashing on it? But i love Disciples 3, it's one of my favorite games. But people keep dissing it... and look what came of it... Liberation. If only people would take Disciples 3 positively, it would've been completed...

Yo there are video essays on something as niche as disciples?! There is hope

Bro i LOVED this review, the humor and everything... Only good thing about Disciples 3 is that artstyle and units look faithfull to the series but thats it.

Bro I watched then went to see "ah what probably well-established channel made this?" but it was YOU GOERGE! Nah but for real man, I'm subbing if this is a hint of what you will make going forward.

From a small channel to another, keep up the great work!

great and accurate review. i played all three of them, but only 2 is the one i really remember, definitely the best game of the series

Needed this review, everything said here is exactly how I felt about the series. D2 Will forever be a fave game to me.

Disciples: Liberation comming Q4 2021, oh boy am I afraid of that one. Great in-depth analysis of one of my favourite series ever.

I absolutely loved disciples 2 as a child, my Lithuanian step mom had her Russian relative send me a bootleg copy of the gold edition so I had all the expansions. I also played a bit of the original, didn't get very far into it though. I never knew there was a third game. That's probably for the better, because it may have ruined my image of the games in my mind.

the new disciples liberation is like kings bounty, everything is changed from units to style.

This video is criminally under-viewed.

i need music in 0:06 secon , everyone can help me

Oh boy, them years when we played Disciples 2 hotseat, literally half the school bought it, and we had enough time and patience to play it endlessly without speeding up the battle or turn speed. One of my most treasured games. Early Disciples 3 looked fantastic, but as far as i know they consumed all the budget halfway thru, half the devs fked off real quick, and the remaining ones remade the game for release date ikea style with missing content, stats, features, hero progression, half the game, and even the story. The company Akella went bankrupt, idk which group picked up and tried fixing the game afterwards, they did a decent job fixing a pile of turd so it was at least slightly reminiscent of the game they teased us in the trailers. We still had awesome times with it, but eventually the disappointment and missing features were too much to bear, and we moved on.

Disciples was disturbed in the dream once again with liberation :x

This year should be new Diciples game. They wake up the series from its slumber but we´ll see if as a halloween decoration or honorable ressurected warrior.

"May nothing disturb your slumber and you finally be able to slowly fade away..." Forward to 2021. A necrophilies emerges on horizon to desecrate the corpse dressing it as a yet another game.

Thieves are far not that useless. They are golden for expensive items and spells from shops. Instead of wasting 1000 gold for a mega spell you can spend just 200 for a single thief with freaking 60% chance of success and if failed just buying another one. It almost never require more than 3, no save-load needed

4:20 The most fun to play with it and i have a lot of good thiefs that torment enemy races.For exemple i assasinate a DRAGON with thief (its 10% chance to do it if someone wonders), stealing money and spells of enemy capitals,and a lot more stuff........ and once faild to explore a ruin(90% chance),i was so confused wtf happened.Overall 90% at times i pick ea- i mean guildmaster to play with.

Did you think this serie couldn't have possibly fallen any lower? A reboot was recently announced, called Disciples: Liberation. It is now mainly a console title with mobile game like artstyle. Developer says they were inspired mostly by Dis3 when designing things. I wish I was joking. Please make a video where you tear it to shreds in order to restore the balance of force.

youtube really is a covert spy company, it knows I'm currently playing Disciples 2

well, a new disciple game has been announced

I love the Art and Music Disciples 1&2, so many good childhood memories with those games. I never played 3 because wtf. Wasn't expecting erections from this, but that's what I got. Thanks for the video.

Wow this popped up in my feed. Just "finally" beat D2 for the years i owned it and yes D2 feels like the best of the lot. I kinda wish for a Disciples like game to come out though.

It's so sad what happened to disciples 2. But it seems the community is still strong in Eastern Europe. I'm developing a game inspired by disciples called BattleTales. And though currently is a board game with miniatures, there's also an online version we use for testing. If you'd like to try it let me know 👍

Oh boi... if only he knew how wrong he was with that last sentence...

I wouldn't say good game gone Garbage I've beaten all 4 Disciples games and I love each of em..Though Disciples 2 is my Favorite.

25:48 That just a subjective preference, the new map system is superior, disciples 2 simply went with that map style simply cuz it was cheaper, not better, it was actually primitive.

Disciples 2 is an amazing game.

What if some one where to buy the ip and made ut like diciples 1 and 2 but more updated Ai and Grapics

I played all parts disciples, but i really like 3 part and was waiting mountain clans, but this game finished:(

After trying to play Disciples Liberation now I think Disciples 3 Resurrection is a really great game.

it will never fade away

Love it. Now,when new Disiciples are on the horizon: it repeats evry mistake from third part and add new ones... So. I will stay with older ones xd

"Disciples Liberation" about this? Is it about the same saga? Will you make a video explaining this new Disciples? P.S. Love this video.

Great work my brother.

New fan my man!

Me being Polish: I wish I could say we Slavs dont breave with Heroes 3... but then I remember this was mine first game that I played in age of 4.

i played both disciples 2 and disciples 3 , resurrection for years, and my favourite was d3 res. the problems i have encountered with resurrection, at release, the undead campaign was bugged and you couldn't progress if you played it in harder dfficulties, game had fewer maps to play on multiplayer-hotseat, didn't have the mountain clans as a race, some units were just a burden to you if you tried to use them: had not been balanced properly. but the battle system was , better than what ive seen in homm 5, with the existance of cover, made it much more strategic . with the release of reincarnation, i played the game , but the changes made in balancing and battle system made me not play the game more than a few hours. the ranged units having variety ranges and areas made sense, but the rest was just a disappointment in my opinion. I spent hundreds of hours playing and modding d3: resurrection, trying to balance the game as i thought would be perfect: -cover system stays -applied the changes to the ranged units in reincarnation to resurrection -increased scaling , locking a unit from transforming actually is viable if you dont want to spend any more resources to it, -rebalanced the skill trees on units made the thief lord usable, gave it comparable but lower stats and party size, and converted most of its skills to either passives or global, not allowing it to kill itself on a dice roll. After spending o much time perfecting the balance in the game from what i think is suits me the best, this is still the most important thing i can say: ---No matter what you do , not enough maps,not much to do , gets boring after a short while. even if the game has perfect balance , it is just barren. Could have been great , but ah, it is bad. thats how disciples died, just like homm.

Verry entertaining presentation. Like a history lesson, only on gaming.

I hope strategy first creates disciples 4, disciples 1 and 2 are such great games. We need a disciples 2 style game but with more units and such for disciples 4. Strategy first loved disciples 2 and it's clear. They should make disciples 4

quality stuff

to our all disappointment they have made disciples 4 liberation now

17:50 I hate that map. I used cheats to restore movement points and clear the map so that I wouldn't have to sit through that evry time the turn ended.

Good video, god i miss disciples 2, i could never fucking play it as a kid so i always just cheated lmao

27:58 Little did he know, Kalypso had other plans to butcher this series.

simply genius

RIP the undeads... the queen has died...

I'm not native English speaker and these names get me so CONFUSED! Disciples Renaissance Disciples Resurrection Terminator Salvation (oops!) Disciples Reincarnation Disciples Liberation (Panics and runs in a circle)

:D You're awesome! Your subscriber and view count is criminally low.

They're back bro ! Search Disciples: Liberation

Do someone know bad game from Strategy first?

The trailer for the new Disciples is out

Guys,let's pray that liberations will be better !!!!

I think disciples 3 is an alright game. Not good but definitely not as bad as you make it out to be. The upgraded visuals and the 3D engine make it somewhat playable nowadays as opposed to previous titles and the heroes like combat is an improvement to me personally. I think the only problem people have with this game is it being called disciples. Also, didn’t really enjoy the casual racism, there are better ways to joke about russia/russians than what you did in the video.

I have watched this video, probably, a dozen times. It is so much fun! Now... I know we're supposed to agree that Disciples 3 sucks but... after trying Disciples: Liberation, even Disciples 3 is forgivable (although I never managed to go beyond the tutorial mission).

Btw. It's "Vlad Tsepesh" not "Vlad Tepesh". :)

Believe it or not, it actually got worse for Disciples

George on point!

Well ... there is a new one coming

Hubert de Layle, i remember that name... bloody traitor

The only good one is the 2nd one, change my mind

cool vid

Some people loved Heroes M&M and some like myself, Disciples 2. I've played the game to the point where i begun using map/scenario editor to shape my own stories. After all the joy i've got from Disciples 2, Disciples 3 + all the packs could't even managed keep up with it's older brother. Artwork trashed. Music trashed. Gothic atmosphere trashed. Game was so buggy. I was asking myself, how can a studio fuckup a game this much and downgrade it to the point to capture only my hate ?

I don't know why there are people who say disciples 2 is their favourite game in comments. I know, I know, to each their own. But the gritty, dark scenery, not being able to see what is what, who is who, the mana crystals being shown as just a single crystal instead of how they were shown in the first game... A lot of things are a downgrade from the first game. To this day, I am a huge Disciples: Sacred Lands fan since it was the first strategy game I played. Anyways, I tried D2 as well, didn't like it, but god was it horrible to watch D3 and Liberation. These games just suck.

11:31 What's her name?

I played Sacred Lands as a kid in early 2000's than I switched to Disciples 2 and play it on and of to this day. But I was always reluctant to try D3, why? For all the reasons in the video. But few days ago I finally bought it to see this mess first hand. But it was wierd, all the graphics looked nice and I must say that art still stays on a high level. The progression was wierded out and all the statistics were increased to riddiculus levels. But for me Disciples 3 is a good game, I'd still prefere to compare it to games like FF Tactics and X-Com with Disciples spin on it, more than treat it as full Dosciples sequel, but I just cannot hate this game as much as I think I should. Story is ok at best but everything is tarnished by narration, holy shit I wouldn't belive that there was any direction at all. For me D3 is more like a solid 6/10 but all the bugs pull it to 5 or 4/10. Still worth buying on sell.

You're right about Disciples 3, but I hate the way you approached it. Usually a reviewer would play all versions of the game and voice their own opinions. You basically decided to skip the first two versions of it and make conclusions about them based on other reviews. Then only play the third version, assuming it somehow summarizes the first two, based on just its description? The fact is you're clearly missing the comparative context in between them, which is detrimental for a review because it changes the opinion of a player completely. Because many of the fans of the originals were appalled by Renaissance, but welcomed the changes made in Reincarnation. It is true that Reincarnation is still worse than the Disciples 1 and 2, but it is so much more like Disciples 2 than Renaissance was. And for the fans of the series, who were starved for a sequel, it is still better than nothing, and a game worth playing.

Hey InternetGeorge, i hope you'll make a smilair video when they'll release liberation. I think that game should and will get a lot of hate.

There was no Disciples 3. No idea what you're talking about.

Disciples 3 Reincarnation is actually very good. It fixed the issues of Disciples 3.

Nice Video

true, how could they have butchered great game concept like this. Stop this HEXAGONAL MADNESS PLEASE!

ngl lie disciples liberation was dissapointment i got such high hopes for it now i would kill for a disciple 2 hd or remaster :(also propably im only one on planet but i loved disciples 3

I like Disciples 3. It has a lot of good things going on.

George: "i sincerely hope no one disturb your slumber" Disciples 4: "hold my beer"

I could not even play disciples 3. All the games were so buggy and untextured it was unplayable. Not to mention the constant crashes that happen in the same spot of campaign. I actually like the game its just not finished. I just hope none of them ever get a job.

9:48 against vlad țepeş himself 👀👀

Thats what you get for letting russians make a part 3 for a very good game

Disciples Liberation it's a good game 8/10 no doubt!

A new Disciples game is coming.

The new one is announced!

You really trying to be funny, but there is waaaay to much jokes, and meme pictures try tu balance it ;)

LMAO...."Thief Lord" .....shows EA Logo ^___^

except...they now announced another one.

they are making new game! uh i hope itll be ...ok
