Im a huge fan of HOMAM3 and HOMAM5 was actually a pleasant suprise, thought I have to agree that adjusting the camera angle can be somewhat annoying at the times.
I have been discussing this whole "games are getting numb and boring" topic with many friends of mine. It seems or feels that every single game nowadays is a sequel or sequels sequel (but also in hollywood and in series too). The old scene of gaming, where technology was limited (and therefore people had to try to hook the player in other way than graphics only) is over. Im not saying that great games don't pop out anymore, they are just fewer and fewer. Usually the most innovative game ideas come from indie scene (and in most cases when I wan't to pay for the game, I can't because of the paying system).
Sigh. I put my trust to indie, thought even indies don't make really good ideas nowadays. What looks or feels original doesn't necessarily mean that it's fun. It's a very complicated matter.
