I had so much fun playing destiny 1 with my brothers after all the expansions were out, but the gameplay in 2 just seemed way worse. I hated the hard mode dungeons that you had to sprint through and the enemies seemed less dynamic and more prone to teleporting away

Serephina posted:Unpopular opinion: 100% speed-based twitch RTSing (and RTS games in general) have fallen out of favor with players who are not trying to win international tournaments, that is, 99.9% of them. The point of SC2 co-op is that you can enjoy a relaxed experience that will go about 30 minutes tops, and play multiple styles (most of the co-op factions have about two viable builds at most, but there are 10 factions, so eh) without worrying about APM, opening builds, and other major turnoffs for most people who just want to enjoy themselves. It was kind of a no-brainer that was years behind the trend, because outside of DOTA, co-op has always been popular in pretty much any RTS (or really most games) that offers it. I would expect future Blizzard games to emphasize this more thoroughly, instead of the fairly light but successful co-op experience in SC2. Not everyone wants to be stressed out or competitive. The numbers reveal that actually, very few do. Name Change fucked around with this message at 07:53 on Feb 19, 2019 |

RTSes have a lot of issues like fighting games where the competitive scene is intimating, elitist, and presents itself very differently from the initial gameplay. There's a lot of people, like me, who enjoy RTS games and aren't very good at them. Hell, the SC2 co-op sounds like the Age of Empires II games a bunch of goons were organising through GBS a while back that I joined in on when I could, teaming up against AIs in a low-stress PvE co-op gaming environment.

All I want from an RTS game is the ability to play against a cheating AI which ultimately cannot deal with my turtling and epic base building tactics

far cry 5 was really fun and the amount of bitchboy handwringing about the plot and the admittedly kind of annoying way it is delivered is kind of insane for a game where you can sic a bear on a bunch of violent hillbillies from an attack helicopter before going and fishing for a while also some of the weird game-within-a-game arcade machine levels were really fuckin' cool and did sweet things with the engine

By the way Primal was loving trash. e: also it's still a little weird to me that a game that takes place in Whitesville, Montana prominently features 2 black ladies as the savage, psychopathic bad guys

It was an incredibly shallow overlay of caveman poo poo onto an FC game It's lucky the bow & arrow is like the best weapon in any FC game otherwise it would have been pretty hilarious to see them try to reconcile a shooter with no shooters. At least riding a tiger was a little more fun than riding a dirtbike I guess?

Sodomy Hussein posted:100% speed-based twitch RTSing (and RTS games in general) have fallen out of favor with players who are not trying to win international tournaments, that is, 99.9% of them. Yup. The most popular map on SC/BW was Big Game Hunters, a map famous for giving every base a chokepoint you could easily defend, a close natural expansion and more resources than a standard starting position would give you. The most common way of playing this map was 4v4 AI. People loved just turtling in their base and teching up to the late-game capital ships and attack move throughout the map. There are probably more people that played the game setting than have finished the campaign. Shibawanko posted:All I want from an RTS game is the ability to play against a cheating AI which ultimately cannot deal with my turtling and epic base building tactics Supreme Commander / Forged Alliance is great for this. You can even build artillery with such long range you can just shell the enemy base to death.

quake 3 but all the maps ever made combined into a sorta 100 player mega deathmatch where if you die in the game a hooded masked man shoots you in the back of the head with a captive bolt gun

I was so loving excited for Wings of Liberty but I never even played the other 2. e: I actually still have the physical copy I bought at midnight on launch night. I was walking home after taking a bus back to my city and passed by a Gamestop that was doing a midnight release thing, it was p. funny

I heard everyone talking up the expansion years later, and it was on sale for like $5 so i installed it and played D3 again last year It's not really a bad game but uhh good lord people paid like $40 for THAT? the expansion is ridiculously short and lacking. people were talking about it like it was the savior of diablo 3 when it came out D3 sucked when it came out though and it's still pretty bad as a game you play more than once, which is supposed to be the whole gimmick of it

The SC2 coop mode has almost no cash elements, it's literally just new commanders. The other cash shop poo poo (emotes, portraits, etc) is all hidden away in a separate unobtrusive tab that I don't click, so it never bothers me But I can't speak to Diablo 3 and of course Heroes of the Storm is all cash shop nonsense because it's a MOBA
