Dr. VooDoo posted:Yeah Dawn of War 3 seems like a step backwards from the really nicely done coverage based and tactical feel of 2. Going back to bland base building and blobbing up units to crash into other blobs The problem is that this is what RTS players want because their brains are bad.

Welcome to the time period where big games get heavily influenced by MOBAs. Most are still in development so expect the trend to last a while Blame your anime loving friends

BULBASAUR posted:Welcome to the time period where big games get heavily influenced by MOBAs. Most are still in development so expect the trend to last a while The art style definitely is, I'm not totally sure about the game play. It is a shame to lose the cover system of the old game, but it was pretty unwieldy, if they could have streamlined it by making the AI more aware of where enemies were/where they should be hiding it'd be better. But as with most RTS games, a lot of it comes down to maps as well as mechanics, for how the game plays. Speaking of the MOBA style, I wouldn't be surprised if that becomes the way they implement different Space Marine chapters, and other factions, into the game.

Company of Heroes has already perfected cover, what else do you want? I swear, Dawn of War 3 is combining the worst traits of both previous games to sell more Knights.

SRM posted:I liked how DoW2 took some MOBA influence in having kind of lane-heavy maps and characters with a lot of abilities, and it worked well with that scale of the game. DoW2 online multiplayer was the most fun I ever had playing an RTS, and RTSes are one of my pet genres. It seems like they're taking that design, which worked in small-scale games, and bolted it onto a Supreme Commander-esque clusterfuck big battle game and I fear it's just gonna end up as a big mess. Massing blobs and attack moving them towards another big blob is so friggin boring, and while it was fairly novel when DoW1 came out I really don't want to see it again. They're trying to take on the Korean power house that is StarCraft2, obviously.

People that don't like SC2 are still living in 1999 and prefer to fight against the UI more than anything else.

Then I'm a bad person that likes a bad game where I can select more than twelve units at a time, multiple buildings at a time, and key units with working AI, having the option to rearrange my hotkeys, and know which millenium I live in. People's love for Brood War is for not actually playing it. You would purchase, borrow, or pirate a copy of a game called StarCraft and its expansion StarCraft: Brood War. The game you installed was called StarCraft: Brood War. The title screen would be for a game called StarCraft: Brood War. You'd click on multiplayer and go straight to games found under "Use Map Settings" and play things like paintball, mass games, turret or sunken defense, and RPG, or whatever. Maybe you heard about professional StarCraft players from Korea and maybe went through the lengths to setup an iCup account and their suite of mods, then got wasted by cheese or early pushes, got frustrated by it, and then went back to Amazing Turret Defense 2. That's the experience of StarCraft that most people had, including yours truly. It was about playing not-StarCraft. It was the same for WarCraft III, where MOBAs were born.

Starcraft 2 is aight. The story gets kinda bonkers but the gameplay keeps itself interesting and novel, even if it doesn't always work and kind of stretches what works for RTS games. It's still a super pretty game with great music and really charismatic voice acting that rewards knowing what you're doing. I just wish Prodos followed up with the handful of Starcraft miniatures they showed off a while ago; I'd definitely play a tabletop Starcraft game.

Really, i just wish there were other RTSs that got even half the attention SC gets. DoW2 is still an awesome game to play and good for spectating, especially 1v1. I was really hoping Universe at War: Earth Assault would end up being something but Petroglyph sort of flubbed that.

Universe at War was too traditional for me (after DoW and CoH, I have a hard time accepting RTSs where you build individual dudes instead of customizable and squads, etc), and shame about how Maelstorm turned out. More recently, it was Grey Goo (though I guess it is still better than Maelstorm). Maybe I'm just biased against "classical" RTS games...

Though Fatties are not exactly built for crime, they have criminal tendencies like any other citizen and, rarely, will form gangs from among those they trust – other Fatties. More common is when a food shortage is present in Mega-City One, and rations are instituted. Driven to the point of madness in their all-consuming hunger, a Fattie stampede can be a terrible thing to behold, as several tons of blubbery flesh propelled on belli-wheels comes lumbering through a block, desperate to lay their hands on any available food.

Well, 2000 AD has been in print since 1977 and Dredd appears in the second issue, Heavy Metal has printed a fair bit of Dredd, DC had a few runs, and now IDW (along with Dark Horse) is putting out even more. According to Comic Vine, Dredd appears in a total of 3295 issues. Get reading!
