Anyone ever play Company of Heroes Online? That poo poo was a lot of fun. I don't usually play RTS games online but I enjoyed that quite a bit for some reason. Sad that it tanked.

Trying the free weekend now and mostly playing the campaigns but I had a go around to see exactly what the whole MP thing was about and what the heck, it's like a microtransaction store where the commanders and poo poo are paid? Or can those drop? And what's the deal with those tiny little boosts you can activate? It's pretty bad, yes. Gameplay-wise, it's inferior to the original; and even if you don't care about that/haven't played the original one, the story is so cliche-ridden and shows such an appalling lack of historical knowledge that it becomes downright insulting.

Drifter posted:I'm having a hard time in Witcher 3 fighting monsters. I can't block them with my sword, I know, but things like when I'm doing a three or four hit combo they suddenly stop getting combo broken and retaliate immediate, faster than I can block or dodge. Witcher 3 doesn't really have hit stun like most games do, which takes a little getting used to. You do need to back off after a couple of hits to avoid getting countered, but normally signs (or at least Igni) take them out of whatever defense they're about to try. Also, check the bestiary for enemies if you're having a hard time. Water hags are really vulnerable to Igni, and unless they've patched it Igni's burn effect deals a percent of health so it's effective against enemies who outlevel you.

Drifter posted:Okay, but what about roving gangs of goddamn piece of poo poo-loving Nekkers? Yeah, they suck to fight early on. Dodge or roll to avoid getting surrounded and use bombs if you have to, you find alcohol to replenish your supplies literally everywhere. If you're not above using an overpowered sign Igni solves just about everything in Witcher 3 except elementals with resistance.

Also I thought made up that whole Russian conscripts run at the enemy after crossing the Volga into the waiting arms of German machine guns in Enemy at the Gates, and CoD1 ran with it. I really wasn't expecting to see that again. I'm not well versed in WW2 eastern front but that seems weird to me. Also yeah, the story is really bad, like they wrote it to have cutscenes in between levels but there's no nuance or anything or any sign of anyone taking it seriously, just some mustache twirling for the sake of it.

Sober posted:Anything in particular that's different in 2 that was worse in 1? For my 2 hours, it felt like the camera was in way too closer and I really hate how large the unit icons are on the HUD and then tiny in the viewer. Anything that 2 did better than 1? Uh, let's see - that's a short list. For starters, it actually works fine on widescreen  There's some degree of anticheat? There's more variety between forces and the customization aspect is kinda neat if a little irrelevant beyond officer selection? Oh, it's also being worked on balance-wise, while 1 ended up in a really love-it-or-hate-it point where some units where just a pain in the rear end to face/had some weird bugs.On the other hand, the UI is poo poo (1's UI was streamlined as hell, here you spend a fifth of it on a short unit description/trivia? What?) and there's no more cut-off because all regions give all resources on some degree, so you can't starve an enemy to delay their powerful units. Also lategame tends to devolve into tank spam pretty loving fast in 4v4s, which are boring as hell for the Allied player. History-wise, the way Company of Heroes 2 displays the Eastern Front is 1) biased towards Germany and 2) factually wrong. First of all, in a story set in the Eastern Front, THE ONLY ONES COMMITING ATROCITIES ARE THE RUSSIANS. How hosed up is that? That particular bit was kind of repulsive. On point two, there are a lot of things you can mention but basically you can bring it down to two things: - The Germans are displayed as a competent professional army, while the Russians are a bunch of peasants armed with guns who must rely on weight of numbers because one carries the rifle and the other the bullets hoorah! This is a misconception derivated from translated German diaries from WW2 - the stereotype goes that as Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union the Soviets decided to run for their lives as they died by the millions, powerless against the nazi war machine unless they drowned their veterancy with numbers - which is as far from reality as you can get, both from the tactical (KV1 being impervious to A LOT of german guns) and the strategical (the Soviets had both territorial and demographical depth to trade for time to unfuck their military; while units got encircled due to numerous reasons some units were willingly sacrificed to make time for other units to retreat and stuff - it was a planned retreat, desperate yes, but planned.) The Commisar/blocking detachment shooting his own dudes because they are retreating is also a misinterpretation of their actual role - they were supposed to stop and send back retreating soldiers (desertors are an entirely different thing) but pointedly, only a couple thousand (out of hundreds of thousands) of soldiers got shot because they were retreating (some of them only after being court martialled) - it was an exception, not the norm. - Some gameplay elements like T34s being meant to ram the enemy tanks or the 1944 Red Army having a core of conscripts allow you to see a conscious decision to use every single vile Cold War stereotype of the noble, German veteran whose tanks are invincible and almighty and the crude, peasant Soviet who is shot for not fighting barehanded because the Soviet Union ran out of rifles. We have to thank Enemy at the Gates for bringing these stereotypes forward - but historiography has advanced since the 50s and 60s, and willingly reproducing these is pretty intelectually lazy. It's also pretty funny that the Russians are the most powerful in the early game, while the Germans are amazing in the late game TL;DR: Gameplay-wise, it's dumbed down, ugly and unoptimized. Storywise, it reproduces factually wrong stereotypes from the 50s and 60s, and outright wrong information that is so intelectually lazy that it frankly feels insulting at times. (And by the way, except for some remarkable cases in 1941, you don't see a situation where rifles are so precious that only one in two soldiers get assigned one - in fact, the problem was getting enough soldiers to use all the available rifles) Azran fucked around with this message at 17:30 on Aug 28, 2015 |

Azran posted:COH2 Also playing through the first snow mission, wow now I understand why everyone hated that mechanic. The trudging through snow I get but freezing to death is just hilarious and not particularly fun. You're right about the HUD, it's huge. I don't mind the flavour text so much as I remember playing CoH in 4:3 and even there the HUD felt a bit like a waste. The icons are okay of a sorts but they really don't tell you what they all mean nor are there any tooltips, which confused me. The UI itself is way too big though. The minimap is 1/5 of all your screen space. They removed the top-level zoom out tactical map, which was odd, cause that would've helped. I guess I'm kinda glad I didn't buy it, nor am I really planning to buy it now.

"Not quite as much" is a bit of an understatement in this case, I shouldn't have to point that out. I assume Valve has to pay out the difference when these pricing errors hit, correct? In a fair world I wouldn't even have to ask that question but well

The worst change from COH to COH II was how the unit dialogue went from witty and heroic/stoic to super lifeless, edgy "Ja/Da, let's burn the orphanage then roll in the ashes" bullshit.
