Mobas are the worst games and bring out the worst in people. Only the worst people play them.

I'm continually amazed watching people freak right the gently caress out playing a MOBA like bro you have 1 unit with 4 abilities and maybe a 5th if you have an active item.

That's like baby poo poo. One zerg support unit has 4 abilities. You don't even have to manage the base.

Yeah that's pretty annoying.

Not really strategy anymore when the opponent is just conjuring poo poo out of thin air.

Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander are pretty good RTS games. The rest are garbo.
I guess the 40k RTS's are ok too.

Also Paradox games but they're only RTS if you're a huge semantic spergwad.

Rise of Nations still pretty solid.

i meant rock bottom in terms of having talent or giving a poo poo, i know they're billionaires

hearthstone is an ipad based gambling digital card game, diablo III didn't have anything it promised including pvp for two years but it did have the option to buy the best gear in the game for rl cash

all i am questioning is....are they intentionally not doing wc4 yet because it's a clear case of having to provide an amazing game for 60 dollars, rather than do something simple and lazy that ends up making more money anyway?

Back in the day the choice was Total Annihilation or Dark Reign. I asked the guy at the game shop which was better.
He reasoned that they were both on par game-wise but Dark Reign had better boxing and materials.

I believe i walked out with the loser that day.

I did enjoy my pirated copy of TA Kingdoms for a bit a few years later. Think i even bought a legit copy....

Once you get good at multiplayer its really engrossing because with patches and things its never a perfect science how to win, but you need alot of experience to know even where to look for new moves that change how people compete. Lots of people dont wang to think about that and just play scenarios against ai which is gow i used to like playing.

Supreme commander was such a grand strategy rts that people would throw a fit if you rushed them.

If i didn't recognise the opponents name i just set my first factorys rally point on their base and relaxed.

I can definitely say im not a good rts player but everyone else was so much worse.

we caused the downfall of Absolute Annihilation, which was followed by Balanced annihilation, maybe CA was next.
