Zone Control is a map I'm surprised never got a standalone game. Genesis of Empires was one of my favorite maps. A new RTS as map I always wanted that as its own game too.

I don't get why they ever did remodels (well outsourced them). Even if they weren't terrible there's no way I wouldn't be playing with the original models. Why not do some texture rework or something.

Yeah you're right they would've had to do some type of remodel and would've needed a unified vision. It just looked nothing like the original game.

Tubgoat posted:Are Wind Riders now Wyverns or vice versa? I'm reasonably sure either change is consistent with copyright cuckoldry. They were originally wyverns. It got changed to wind rider randomly with all the other units.

Flayer posted:I always assumed they changed the names of units that were generic to something more unique, probably for some copyright reason. Wyvern is a well known fantasy creature while Wind Rider is something specific to this game etc etc Yeah I kinda assumed it was like how Games Workshop gave stupid "official" names to all the factions so they could be copywritten or whatever.

The Wiggly Wizard posted:Hearthstone was fun when it came out. Diablo 3 adventure mode was fun for a brief period. Wings of Liberty multiplayer was fun. SC2 multiplayer was fine but it was way worse than Brood War. i'm not a card game guy so can't comment. Diablo 3 was easily my biggest video game sequel disappointment ever.

The SC2 and Diablo 3 stories are loving embarrassing wrecks. The Diablo 3 bitching thread got gassed by a stupid former mod who didn't understand a post even though it was the best thread in this sub.

Zaphod42 posted:Or the one character in all of Diablo that anybody actually cares about, Deckard Cain, gets killed in a very lame cutscene when the game forces you to be dumb and run off falling for a distraction anybody should see a mile away? My friend who I used to play an ungodly amount of the first two games into the wee hours of the night totally forgot Deckard Cain died until I was talking about how stupid 3 was.

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! Also we've already told you the Zerg started as little worms on this planet that were uplifted by a hyperadvanced race but uhh actually they're *flips through Warhammer 40k manual* Kroot!

Every so often some stupid thing from Diablo 3 or SC2 where the people making it didn't understand what made the previous games good (like a certain movie trilogy) pops into my head and I have a lil chuckle about it.

They were in hyperspace or whatever for 28 years so that gives the UED presumably a long time to look for them.

Big Mad Drongo posted:Like SC1's story is mostly told through the eminently skippable briefings and the occasionally bit of mission dialogue. You can ignore it all easily, and the game is cool with that, the plot only exists to make each faction fight the others and themselves. Cutscenes are saved for goofy poo poo like the beers being cooled alongside nuclear material and major plot points like the end of each campaign. Yeah this is the biggest issue. Diablo 1 and 2 didn't have great stories but had pretty straightforward ones and I wasn't interrupted every so often for a stupid cutscene (also in Diablo 2 the story being told in cutscenes wasn't yours and in 3 you're the Chosen One).
