Wait, so Spellforce is basically an RPS (role-playing strategy), the kind of RTS/RPG hybrid Blizzard was originally intending for Warcraft 3?
>>726119130Maybe?I played arpg rts hybrid - Wars and Warriors: Jean of Arc.
>>726119130Spellforce is underrated. Spellforce 2 is even better. I still remember the opening cinematic. It's a shame that Spellforce 3 and on didn't live up to that. What a fucking shame.>the kind of RTS/RPG hybrid Blizzard was originally intending for Warcraft 3?At the time, Spellforce made it look so simple that I just couldn't believe for the life of me that a studio like Blizzard couldn't do it.
>>726119415What a game. Had a demo of it from a DVD included with a magazine.
>>726119696I have a CD of it, but I never finished it as a kid. I didn't really understand at the time how the rts part of it worked, so I cheesed the game with power attacks and explosive arrows.
>>726119130yes.I still think Warlords Battlecry did it the best.In an ideal world wed get a combination of Warlords battlecry, dawn of war 2, kingdom under fire and Spellforce
>>726119130Despite what the fans say, the first game plays like ass. Expansions increased the difficulty without addressing any of the issues, so they are even more tiresome to play. The second game might be dumbed down, but unlike the first one, it's pretty enjoyable to play. I tried getting into the third one, but couldn't stand it at all, so make of it what you will. Also, the RTS/RPG mechanics are much better implemented in Warcraft 3, even if they are much more simplistic.
>>726121196Second game has million versions, it seems.
>>726119130Almost. The RTS part felt like an afterthought from what I remember playing.
>>726119130I glossed over these games because their covers are generic half-naked slut elves and, just like my taste in women, I have no interest in an RPG that actively rejects common sense so proudly.
>>726119130Armies of Exigo and Rising Kingdoms are better.
>>726122912>Armies of ExigoHeard about this, but not Rising Kingdoms.
