but having to have an actual macro game should.

it was because computers at the time chugged with all the units and it was better to penalize you for having a full army.

Chickenfrogman posted:Parasite 2 was always the best custom game. It was eh with a bad Parasite player, but tearing apart the entire station in an orgy of paranoia to the point where the AI player goes rogue and self-destructs the facility to try and kill everyone without ever actually revealing your identity as the parasite was some of the greatest fun. it's really lame dota seems to be the only custom that spawned a stand alone game or genre. i always wanted those types of games you mentioned (and genesis of empires) as their own video games.

i was mad when they introduced magic attack because originally casters had ranged attack so i'd stomp just going all shamen and witch doctors since you could upgrade their damage.

i don't get why a lot of games can't play old replays. always pissed me off in wc3.

Tykero posted:Those replays function by storing starting game state and then each action taken afterwards. Major version changes result in those actions potentially having different results, which breaks the replay. they should've coded it so replays aren't worthless.

games have dumb stories because people will go "oh it's just a game why would i play a game for story" last of us doesn't have a good story and it isn't told well so that's also partly gamers and game critics not knowing what constitutes good storytelling so you're right there.

i still don't like heroes and the insanely low supply limit in the main game but hero units did lead to dota and league so actually scratch that the game is bad.

it's still crazy to me that there was ever a pro wc3 scene considering how poorly balanced it was. at least with brood war they could balance with maps.

it's a shame wow blew up - we woulda had wc4 by now. though considering their output since wc3 i don't know if that would've been a good or bad thing.

and "ladder anxiety" is lessened when you have other people to blame. ~Coxy posted:FARTS doesn't really make sense because it's not strategic, and doesn't really have any RTS elements besides. it controls like one especially if you play a hero with minions. it's literally an rts map.

starcraft becoming a competitive game was mostly a happy accident (which is true of most competitive games before it became a pure marketing thing).

time for a joke posted:i forget the name of it (dota 2? probably not) but there was one where one team had their base in the middle of the map in like a snow/ice island and the other team was around the outside That was Dota 2 one team had the top of a mountain.
