The worst part of the remaster is blizzard directly hosting and uploading custom games. Run kitty run without Lincoln park sped up to chipmunk speeds just isnt run kitty run at all.

I was working on a port of advance wars, but lol if I'm bothering finishing it now. Also it's hilarious that small indie developer blizzard is becoming closer to truth than joke as they circle the drain. Wonder how much of the remains of the company will be left after this bomb.

Kith posted:Yes. There's the standard Marine and a "Terran Marine": That is absolutely hilarious. They couldn't even be assed to import a firebat when replacing their 40k rip off joke unit. Having to wait for the game to boot up every time you test a map rather than just running it on the current instance is depressing. The fact that you also have to log back in every time is hilarious.

Groovelord Neato posted:People should absolutely be mocked for enjoying Blizzard's post wc3 output. Though I think they're taking us aboard their ruse cruise. Eh, sc2 was pretty solid if you ignored the plot. It had a pretty in depth campaign for an rts. The expansions being full price since they were "stand alone" was a giant rip off though. I wonder how many people bought just one expansion and not the base game.

And let's be real, nobody was playing the campaign for the story. Especially after hots end cinematic got leaked.

Mooseontheloose posted:My only wroblem with Kerrigan (and be extension Arthas and Sylvannas's) story is that the Zerg (and Forsaken) are implied to make you evil via their science/magic and transformation. On the one hand, yah they are evil with their evil actions but also...they are being manipulated and hand their minds warped by the inherently evil thing that is most definitely going to make you evil. At least Arthas got the distinction of getting a descent into madness before he grabs the unholy sword of ally slaying.

jokes posted:Kael's story was great too. Just abject racism pushing him right out of the Alliance and into a way, way worse enemy's hands along a completely reasonable path; I personally agree with everything Kael'Thas did in TFT. And it wasn't even him being vainglorious, he was like "demons? this isn't right" then he gets hosed over and the only people who support him and the elfs are the "bad" guys, and he did it all solely because he felt that was what was good for them. This is also why it's dumb when they made Kael go crazy with demon magic, they really did him dirty. He was never arrogant, the racists just called him arrogant even though he was behaving in a way that was anything but. Then Blizzard says the racists were right and turn him into an arrogant, vainglorious dude after TFT. My favorite part of that illidan bit was that they had the player relive him munching on his followers for demonic power followed by everyone around him going "holy poo poo what have you done?" And then the game turns around and tells you what a great guy illidan was for doing that and making "hard choices" People got so upset about that that blizzard killed off the wind chime that gave you that quest.

Kanos posted:The primal zerg are so hilariously dumb it rules. Which process creates stronger combatants: deliberate, intentional genetic manipulation and harvesting of species from across space specifically to absorb and modify and mix their traits to be more effective killing machines, or a bunch of animals randomly running around and eating each other aimlessly? Apparently the answer is the latter! I mean, conceptually they were really stupid, but they had some sweet models.

Oh, I thought you were talking about how easy it is to abuse the scripting and make it send no waves at all. They ran the ne campaign at agdq this year and it was really funny watching them call time with a ton of time left on the in game countdown. I always used hippo archers instead of mines back in the day.
