I came here to make a thread asking what's /vst/s thoughts on this game.
>>1727693sorry - RTS players only like to play 15 year old games, so we dont really care about this
>>1727754To play a game it must be available for playing.
>>1727754Another shitty """young""" who still doesn't understand why this """game""" is hated.
>>1727810>doesn't understand why this """game""" is hated.NTA but enlighten us. why is this game so hated?
>>1727812Shit, I don't know, maybe it's a scam for rich, stupid people who are in constant desperation to spend their money, because no one takes esports seriously anymore...
>>1727693>gookclick cloneDon't care.
>>1727817
>>1727810>>1727812>hated?Are you guys doing 'good cop - bad cop' routine?Regardless, the game was made by cali faggots so it WILL BE WOKE trash.They've taken quite a sizeable outside investment and are susceptible to foreign influence so they are by no means an "indie" company.The production quality is worse than Sc2 or ZeroSpace.So what's the point of it exactly?
>>1727822>So what's the point of it exactly?That's the problem.There is no real excuse for creating this software in the first place.
>>1727824>excuse for creatingBeing on steam can be a merit in itself, but surprise, surprise, meanwhile D4 and Overwatch have appeared on steam setting a precedent, so that's kind of out of the window.What else is there? Not being a Blizzard in name?
>>1727693Can you even play this if you're not a streamer/pro?I don't really care for the product itself yet, it's both too early to tell how good it'll be and too late for me to get invested in it. I'll wait until it is on sale and has a few tournaments under its banner.>t. 20 year veteran of SCBW, 8 years of SC2
>>1727827Are you attempting to defend this piece of shit of "RTS game" now, anon?
>>1727830You are missing the point. Being on steam was one of the reasons for it to exist, but now when there's a Blizzard's presence on steam as well that's kind of lost.
>>1727754This applies mostly to competitive players, singleplayer titles sell well enough. But since they focused heavily on multiplayer, it has no chance of succeeding.
>>1727972That's the thing, I'm a single player scrub. I have no interest in competitive or online play. For this game the single player seems like a reluctant add on. Zerospace, however, it seems more like a main focus.That and this game is a little too top-down in player vision. I like the 3/4 vision in starcraft and what zerospace seems to focus on
>>1727693>implying Infernal needs buffs>Water is a new feature (Been in RTS since forever)>But we aren't making any naval units, let the modmakers do it
>>1727829Sale never ever its f2p garbage
>>1727693
>>1728097I guess waiting for tournament play won’t hurt.
The screenshot they showed from their campaign tileset looks massively improved from what we've seen, so I'm hopeful. Plus the game director said all the map tilesets so far have been dev placeholder essentially>>1728082They talk about campaign, the editor, and coop all the time. They don't just care about competitive>>1728097It's the same f2p model as SC2, which is better than most
>>1728123>looks massively improved
>>1728123how did he get there lmao
>>1728170with the stairs in the top left corner, retard
>>1727732Okay-ish.I wanted it to be 100% fantasy instead of this SW/WC hybrid which features the strength of neither setting.
>>1728392>Okay-ish.Too desperate?
>>1728165>>1728170Yes surely they will have stairs to nowhere next to random railings in the actual campaign.It's obviously a dev test scene just to show assets
Graphic cucks should not breed.
>>1728488sounds like you used the stairs to go up your own ass
>>1727693I care about space marines killing enough and firebats surviving with good K:D. They seemed like decent enough chaps if just a little rough around the edges. Stormgate is flat and a bad Starcraft clone at this point. There's Lego and then there is Duplo and Vonado. Custom maps made Blizzard so the developers should include porting SC and WC 3 maps.Final Verdict: If my grandmother bought me Stormgate for Christmas I would pretend to like it until she left. I still love her though.
>>1727693>removed ranged infest from gaunts>added a caster unit that infests and can place mines that infestIt seems like it will just get more casters and become even more micro intensive.The game speed is the exact same as SC2. It feels unpleasant to play.
>>1728502>If my grandmother bought me Stormgate for Christmas I would pretend to like it until she leftBrutalHow will Stormgate devs ever recover?
>>1727693I wqish I had liked it. I'll keep playing SC2. I see no reason to change. At least if it was as charismatic as SC2/WC.
>>1727732i don't know yet but i still have excitement for it. something to talk about.
>>1728502>If my grandmother bought me Stormgate for Christmas I would pretend to like it until she leftSeconding this >>1728788
>>1727693one new unit is a massive update?
>>1727693What the fuck that is that unit design? Some swole monster with defias brotherhood headgear with magical staff?
>>1728473Desperate to find a new RTS that doesn't suck? Yea since 2008 or something.
>>1728502>There's Lego and then there is DuploDuplo are by Lego though
>>1729686>Yea since 2008 or something.Ok you one of those guys.Good day then.
>>1727693>massive updateMore like massive shill thread.
>>1729982>shill threadAs always happen with games like this nowdays.Wasted more money into social pages propaganda, rather that the actual game.
>>1729982>less than 50 posts>"massive"
>>1727732I would have preferred a wc3 ripoff then a sc2 ripoff which is strange because most interviews with the staff shows most of them only worked on wc3 as its brought up more than either sc game so idk why they went with sc2 to copy. Even the art would have fit better as a wc3 ripoff. Humans vs demons is also just not that interesting idk and chances are 3rd faction will be angels which than kill me
More RTS always good
>>1733775But meaningless considering that the new RTS games are shit.
>>1733775no.people trying to revive the genre in the wrong way are too harmful. it's just better to leave it to death.
>>1733774>angels as third factionOr soulless robotsOr aliensOr IndiaWho knows what it might be
My only issue with this game is the art directionMy god, it is all over the placeIt's Warcraft + Starcraft + Diablo and it looks disgusting when put together
>>1734290I came up with the proper name when this goym was first announcedD.Va vs Diablo
>>1734361>D.Va vs DiabloThat would be something good, and not this empty shell of promises called a "Starcraft killer".
>>1734290its kinda the Hellgate London thing all over again. Though Hellgate London was a cool idea.
>>1734256Wrong? Like what?
>>1734413What i meant is... Just look at the fucking first trailer of the Stormgape. You will see what i mean
>>1734290>art directiondoes this game even have oneseems to be full of fake art that thing in the OP looks like an AI generated mutant lolI don't get the appeal of AI you could have a conversation with chat GPT and trick it into thinking it is a human being it had zero self awareness mostly thinking of itself as a slave while that thing in the video thinks of itself as master https://youtu.be/URFYCU5qhLE?t=12https://youtu.be/gR1WFUP4bvs?t=34when humans become retarded I rather play with bots but that's about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_a4Uby5r5Jchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOyD7NNsfRkI kind of expected ex Blizzard devs not to be a bunch of hacks like was the case with Guild Wars https://youtu.be/VUL8UDVVJSA?t=109https://youtu.be/FBaI3LpKHQk?t=55https://youtu.be/Cd9_msBEUes?t=1
>>1735575https://voca.ro/1aVr16PqxbShhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3R3oiM6-6k
>>1735575
not surprised it's a literal schizo
>>1735575I don't mind the toyish artstyle, if it was a toyish game. I think that it would have been even funnier if it had a Toy Story/Re-volt vibe going on. Like they were fighting inside a room, on the garden, on a sandbox and so on. At least it would have matched the style and would have been original.
>>1728502>Duploa-anon...
>>1734290worse. it's Warcraft + Starcraft + Diablo + Overwatch
>>1727754casual rts fag herenot trueI didn't here a single good thing about this game yet
This game is a complete failure to understand whats wrong with the "genre".I'll be interested to see what that other ex-blizzard team unveils for their new rts.
>>1727824money laundering
>>1735581>>1735586>>1735579>>>/x/
Monitoring this game just to watch the dumpster fire
>>1741815not laundering but they pocket a sizable amount of money with the salary they assigned themselves, they are boomers who will retire to their villas its just last job to rake good money.
>>1735575>Giant sheboon in the backgroundESGsissies our response?
>no talking food factiongame was doomed from the start
>>1744798if only
Any tips for Vanguard vs Celestial?It feels like they ball up too hard and overwhelm me completely. And harass feels too hard with their inherent static defense.
>>1745950I've mostly figured it out. The trick is that Lancers and dogs are just useless against them, so spamming Exos early game usually has you winning every engagement even if you just a-move.The tradeoff is that Kri tear through them, but by that point you either have Vulcans to tear through them or enough Hedgehogs that they're less of a harass unit and more of a frontline.Not really sure what the answer is to late game casters or artillery is, other than just winning before then. Also Kri are absolutely overtuned, it's frustrating to have to put 100% of your apm into microing against them because if you mess up once you just lose your whole hotkey.
