Why tf is this game so difficult for me? I have 400 hours and I still struggle. I watched a ton of youtube videos, and used their templetes and designs.

Literally any other strategy game I become great at by just watching one or two videos. I got insanely better at Starcraft2 , EU4, ck3, and total war by just watching a couple youtube videos about it.

Come, son, and confess your heretical acts.

Like the unpopular opinion threads, but for the things you've DONE (or not), instead of the things you think about.

I'll start with a few:
- I've never played any of the Warcraft games; the first two are too old for my taste, and the third one really puts me off with its RTS/RPG mixture
- Related to the above, I tried playing Spellforce and hated every minute of it
- Total Annihilation filtered me hard. In fact, the only TA-like that I enjoy is Supreme Commander.
- In spite of playing it for over 50 hours, I do not know how to play Victoria 2. I follow guides, but I've yet to understand the underlying mechanisms of the gameplay.
- I pre-ordered Company of Heroes 2. I regret it with every fiber of my soul.

My sin is that I've been swayed by new games in a way that makes me really distrust anons here.

For example I really like how AoE4 looks. I feel like a madman every time someone tries to show me a comparison to try and convince me that it's bad.
Meanwhile the game has a lot of attention do details like every single upgrade changing the model visually (HRE MAA gets a sword and shield, mace and shield, a two handed axe or two handed mace depending on what upgrade they have for example) but anon will say
>"look yonder ye fool at the FRANKS and their THROWING AXEMEN chugging giant double bit axes at pixelated PICTS! Doesn't that look so much better???"
and it's like no bud I know you grew up with this game but it's silly, unhistoric and looks more cartoony than the admittedly excessive use of saturated player colours on AoE4 units.
AoE4 music is amazing too and, while I only play unranked every once in a while after work, I feel like balance is fine at least among fellow noobs.

And I don't know if I'm just a man with bad taste or if those anons are being overly critical of things that don't matter.

>>2436848
I've taken a look at the card system you mentioned, and it honestly sucks unbelievable amounts of dick. I get that adding a bit of randomness to the battles can be a good idea, but that seems far too much.

Also, it looks like Reborn has a per chapter level cap, which I hate. Let me grind in peace, you motherfuckers. And it has less content than the previous version, which I SPECIALLY hate. Off to emulate Let Us Cling Together I go.

der janny didnt like that thread

why would i bother talking about shit games when the conversation in question is about border gore and you're claiming that a normal, intact person is in fact gore because he has guts inside. if it's contained where it should be it's not gore
i don't care about your attempts at changing the subject to game rules because you're losing and grasping at straws
but maybe i should care? this much winning is in fact getting tiring. please step up your game next time and maybe you'll win for once

Final Fantasy Tactics, Tactics Ogre, and any derivatives in this thread!

The Final Fantasy Tactics remaster is out, as well as the Tactics Ogre remaster. Also shilling the excellent One Vision mod for the PSP version of Tactics Ogre, which rivals and even exceeds the Reborn remaster, depending on taste.
