I really don't get the appeal of RTS anymore

when I buy a unit it just sits there and does nothing like a lifeless lump of meat
imagine if you had to run a company like that the first thing I would do is find something that has independent thought and buy it

https://youtu.be/FAav6CVdNpc?t=259

like why can't the building just float on it's own
why do people have to be extreme babysit
why extreme babysit RTS?

also why can't you save build orders if build orders are very important to the game and you can't just buy and jam something down how you feel like at the moment
>>

Because without the pressure of the real-time micromanagement you would probably notice that there is very little strategy to these games.

True, but it's circular: The lack of any real strategy is caused by the excessive need for busywork. RTS games could have gone a different way like Harpoon, CMANO, Cold Waters, Sea Power, etc., low speed high detail.

>>1874962
so i can understand the lack of appeal in micromanagement for you so i have nothing to say otherwise.

However, you do realize that you're literally describing the middle management for lots of retail/fastfood/service jobs? You hire lifeless lumps that wouldn't do anything unless they were told. So, you buy the slightly less lifeless lump with some independent thought to micromanage the other lumps

and soon you'll be able to replace the lumps with automation


also, you're probably enjoying the wrong form of entertainment if they're comparable to running a company to you

>a game so bad even the trolls and haters got bored

RTS are action games with a strategy layer over it

brainlet opinion. what games have deep strategy to you? the reason rts games (and any competitive pvp game) develop fairly rigid metas is precisely because the players minmax the strategy and learn what is good.

An RTS where you have to hire middle management and tell them the general outline of your vision but you're unable to command the actual workers and warriors directly sounds like a fun concept actually.

>>1895313
fartosis seems to think gameplay exists in a void, not the first time he's been completely wrong. The problems are fundamental, starting with the artstyle, setting and premise. I'd rather have triangle and square wars than these retarded uninspired factions
>>
>>1895313
its also very funny how the devs are so helpless and clueless about their own game, they literally listen to a youtuber telling them how to design their maps. ((((((Tim Morten)))))) is a very, very successful grifter and I have no idea how he did it.

I played the beta after having it wishlisted for ages and that made me remove it from my wishlist. Game about demons vs sci-fi army and they make everything look like cheap plastic garbage. Everything has a sand-blasted rounded-off look to it, nothing had a polished or detailed feel to it. Especially the maps. Holy shit the maps in the beta were so fucking bad.

Discussion
It's the next best thing to SC2 and WC3. Those that are playing it are enjoying it and looking forward to more updates and the rest are either whining about a game they say they don't like or waiting to jump on the bandwagon. I hope it does well and I think any fan of RTS should hope it does well. Nothing else has the same competitive feel in my eyes or has really come close. The fact that it's even compared to SC2 in early release speaks for itself. Good luck FG!
>>
>>1899042
>The fact that it's even compared to SC2 in early release speaks for itself.
It speaks for the fact that that's the last thing the devs have worked on, nothing more. I don't like Starcraft 2, so that's a minus for me.
There are plenty of other great, current RTS out right now No need to play this one.

Yep. And here are all those bandwagon losers you just mentioned.

You're absolutely right. Fans of RTS should hope it does well and the fact it is being compared to sc2 is a testament to its promise as a game. I'm all here for it, man. I'm looking forward to what we see in the years to come.

Dont let the haters get to you. They literally have nothing better to do with their sad, miserable lives

I mean I HOPE it gets turned into a fun game at least, but as it is right now it is really boring.
>Boring basic bitch visuals which look good but have 0 character or their own identity

>unit abilities feel like they're there to introduce artificial micro and not actually to contribute to gameplay
>the mobs feel shoehorned in to grab the Warcraft 3 boomers
Like that are just my top issues, it is in a really sad place at the moment sadly
I think the recent demo test by Artosis with smaller maps + no mobs felt much better to watch and really helped with SOME issues, like the fights still take fucking ages but at least now they take place more often.
But I am not convinced that will be either enough to fix it nor that the devs will actually listen and course-correct, which is a damn shame

>pucker factor of seeing a bunch of banes rolling towards your marines and having to quickly try and split
please dont even try to insinuate banelings were good game design.
There's a reason infested terrans were restricted to late game tech in BW, and extremely situational, and only against one matchup.

your opinion is invalid. Please stay away from game design.
>>
>>1903033
I am now convinced you are trolling or are a bronze 3 retard
A-moving banes without looking is just a fast-lane ticket to having them all 1 shot by widow mines, getting blown to shit by siege-tanks, running into marauders which can face tank like fucking 5 of them or having them all run into a planetary and do fuck-all unless there is like a gorillion of them
You need to micro the banes or they are just throwing away gas, minerals and zerglings which are a great unit
Banes are really only good against idiots who can't split or people who leave their marines alone in stupid positions and stop looking at them, meanwhile a perfectly reasonable split is like 3 lazy clicks and will win you games anywhere below GM
>>
>>1903743
i was talking about wings of liberty. No noob mines. Too early for tanks. Split or die and leave the game
>Banes are really only good against idiots who can't split

The game is on early access, unfinished work as they repeatedly remind us through the gameplay. That alone makes most of the negative reviews another case of collective hysteria.

Taking the baby rant out of the picture, here's my reasons to give it an upvote: because the game has potential.

What will change it to a negative review: if you can't stop trying to emulate Warcraft 3 and Starcraft 2. If we want to play those games, they exist already. Your game lacks its own identity and that's where the negative reviews are correct.

To the technicals: my PC is outdated, but It runs smoothly every RTS on the market, except Stormgate. I've seen some people complaining about optimization, I'll stay neutral on that one.

>>1903745
You are a retard but I think banes, mines and disruptors should not be in the game

Optics are improving. It's particularly noticeable after this last patch. I've been seeing a pretty drastic drop in hate brigading in this sub over the past month. I've also been seeing a lot more games and casts posted recently. This makes me very happy :) this game has plenty of it's own problems, but they're only going to be overcome if there is interest in overcoming them. It's a breath of fresh air seeing this interest persevering through all the negativity and doomering that's been going on since EA.

Just wanna say a huge thanks to all you legends out there taking time to share your positive experiences with this game and helping to develop a growing community alongside this developing game. I've never lost hope in this game, but y'all are reinforcing that hope every day I hop on Reddit now.

Also, massive shout out to Frost Giant for putting in the effort to get us to this point after such a rocky launch. I'm sure these past couple months have been a lot of stress and heartache. Your hard work is showing through. Keep it up. I'm excited for everything to come

>>1874962
>not setting a rally point

and build orders are just an opening, they can (and should) be interrupted by circumstances, like "the map doesnt have this resource in a comfortable position, so i'll need to delay another part of the order" or "the enemy has sent an early attacking force so i can't just expand economy, i need to make a static defence building or some army units of my own", and it all becomes improv and reacting/predicting the opponent as soon as you hit the midgame anyways.

clockwork. Bowen research, babel media. If a game is shit and full of troons and blacks, 100% there's an army of shills making it look like that's what people want. And then the game has below 100 players, and the cognitive dissonance shines brighter than the sun. "How did this happen bros? This game was so popular before release..."
