Bogart posted:Get into SC2 coop. It’s a lot of fun. Seconding this, particularly because the commanders are actually pretty diverse in playstyles. You can even do some Footman Wars rally point attack-move poo poo, or a small squad of elite heroes, or whatever with the right commander.

Residential walls in Emperor ROTMK are absolutely fantastic, but Zeus had so much charm to it for some reason.

I got Deserts of Kharak on a whim, and it was so goddamn good that it got me to buy Homeworld Remastered. Sadly I'd rather play Deserts of Kharak again than continue on with HW.

Bobfly posted:Age of Empires III looks rad as balls, and it concerns itself with a period I love. But it arrived at a time where I had no real insight into RTS'es (goes on to this day). It wasn't very well loved by fans, as I understand. I've always felt that AoE3 is extremely underrated as a game. There's a lot to juggle but the cards system let you tailor your playstyle to a substantial degree, on top of your chosen civ already being suited to some playstyles, so I felt that there's a fair amount of diversity in how a game could go.

I legit think that Heroes V gets a bad rap, and I don't know why. It's basically a bigger HoMM3 to me, with more unique mechanics per race.

Just dropping by to say that after watching clips from Fury thanks to Youtube autoplay and then getting inspired to play modded CoH2 again for compstomps that tanks are cool and wrangling a platoon of Easy Eights in order to slaughter Nazis is well worth the effort. Only lost one tank due to the spotty pathfinding of Essence Engine vehicles and managed to salvage it for the final push!

I mean, the "handful of gamers who play MP" were also the only ones still interested in and actively playing a CoH game in an era where RTS has long been buried by MOBAs and Relic's own massive misstep in DoW3. Just saying that I can't really blame the change of direction when no one but the grognards are actually walking the walk when it comes to interest in a big RTS in 2021

Hero's Hour has a demo on itch.io and after a couple of hours I'm buying this poo poo the moment it releases. Apart from the UI gripes with battle army limits and stack-splitting, it's drat good. Thank you very much for the recommendation.

This may come off confrontational but I think the idea that "APM trumping good strategy is bad game design" is honestly laughable and reactionary AF. It really does feel to me like a lot of people are convinced they're better players than they actually are just because they know strats and counters and are only limited by their physical speed and ability. Execution of your ideas matter and should matter, and whatever sins a game has in that respect emerges less from bad gameplay and more from insufficient accommodation from the UI.

It's janky but honestly not as bad as I feared. Very similar to Generals in that respect, lol. Infantry has "momentum" in that they can't turn on a dime, and in effect it makes them feel like tiny vehicles in a way. I'm still hopeful, at least. The writing and VA direction is very "English wasn't our first language" tho, but it's all technically competent and correct, if not perfectly natural sounding.

Nah, SC2 is extremely slick while this is appropriately kludgy at times. What it reminds me of is the actual best C&C game: Generals/Zero Hour, especially with how infantry have momentum.

Anno posted:Good for AoE. I wasn’t really expecting 4 to be so much of a success but it seems to have carved out its own place even with AoE2 still be long very popular. Bittersweet for me; I'm happy Microsoft has gotten World's Edge to the level where they can do great work on AoE moving forward, with AoE4 now being a true success that's not just being sandbagged constantly by boomer doomers, but also I'm bummed that apparently Relic's role has been diminished because the studio isn't do so hot, along with CoH3 still being a hot mess.

Well I hope things work out for Relic. It's been a devastating year for devs; between the cash troubles with CA and Hyenas, I was morbidly betting on Sega shuttering Relic as their worst case scenario with how poorly CoH3 performed and how unclear their future was with AoE4.

I'll put it this way: I mostly like CoH3 as a non-multiplayer duder who enjoys blowing up Nazis, but considering all the recent videogame industry news about layoffs, I'm legit surprised that Relic hasn't been shuttered yet.

Any other big cool mods for RA3? Honestly I just got the pack in order to play Zero Hour and Zero Hour-like mods, and RA3's Generals Evolved is the best incarnation of it because the engine is much better in terms of visual quality and stability Also drat I only just realized that whatever in-house engine they used for those games didn't go past 30 FPS by design. What a strange limitation

Yeah I was musing on it and tbh Relic getting sold was a better likely outcome than my actual expectation, which was outright closure considering how badly CoH3 did and how their influence over AOE4 got diminished

Well hopefully Microsoft keeps them on moving forward, because right now they have fuckall in terms of IP and the first AOE4 expansion showed they still got the chops, even if their work on COH3 is very disappointing as someone who was hoping for a good SP experience. And yeah, I even waited for their campaign revamp and it's still not that great.

Mordja posted:It's currently being "remade" (new/heavily modified engine) by its original lead dev on Steam. Technically in early access but the whole game's there. Yeah I got it WL'd, gonna grab it when I get some cash one day. I owe it to the dev for many hours played as a kid. Man, I love how they made it so unit models "floated" around each other when in melee in order to create this illusion of dynamic melee combat. Dudes were cooking.
