>>382715075
that game is underrated as fuck, but so is much more its OST

Holy fuck it is so GOOD. And just some days ago I was listening to it and realized it's by Frank Klepacki itself so that explains a fuckton.

i own all parts of starcraft 2 special editions and every single rts ever made on steam and im looking forward to starcraft 1 HD coz theres nothing better

As someone who has never played an RTS before, how did SC2 kill RTS's? I'm genuinely confused as to how I always hear on here that SC2 killed all RTS'S when it came out.

>>382716103
Also compstompers play tower defense and similar games

>>382716121
Not "kill", just suck up all attention until there is no base in other games.
Look at WoW for similar effect in MMOs

>>382715294
I do indeed enjoy the coop and the campaign gameplay, emphasis on the GAMEPLAY.

i really want to just go to sc2mapster and find any fan made campaign that might have ass gameplay but at least tries to keep the spirt of Starcraft.

Anyways, since it is an RTS i'll post some recommendations

>Fantasy RTS
-Armies of Exigo
-Sacrifice
-Heroes of anihilated empires
-Warlords battlecry 1-3
-Battlerealms
-Battle for middle earth 2 with the edain mod if you miss BFME1 building system
-Spellforce
-Warcraft 3
-Brutal legend, yes it is an RTS just like sacrifice is

>Sci fi RTS
-Empire at war
-ScBW
-Universe at war
-C&C any, they kinda have interchangeable gameplay but are always fun
-Emperor battle of dune
-Dawn of War 1-2, 2 is divisive but if you enjoy the setting you'll enjoy 2
-HW1-2 and Cataclysm, the remaster is a mess, would suggest pirating it
-Sins of a solar empire Rebellion
-Supreme Commander Forged Alliance

And i think that's it, i also played
dragonshard (didn't like the gameplay but you could like it so just search some gameplay videos)

Kingdoms under fire a war of heroes (i'm a fanboy of the franchise but even then i can't honestly recommend it since it's a glitchy mess)

Atrox (for a blatant Starcraft it was neat, it had those siege bugs from starship troopers)

Total Anihilation Kingdoms (the top down perspective just turns me off the game)

Endwar (the game is really neat but strategic wise it is very simplistic)

Unpopular opinion time: Starcraft: Brood War is the real cancer that ruined the series, and SC2 was just an extension of everything wrong with it.

Everything people SC2 for, started in Brood War.

>>382716779
Everything people hated SC2 for*

I'm pretty sure that SC didn't ruin an entire genre, in only ruined itself.

Games like Sup Com and Planetary Annihilation are still fun games and don't have that competitive vibe about them.

Is Dawn of War 3 a good game?
Is Grey Goo a good game?
Is Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak a good game?

>>382717251
In every way

>>382715784
I was going to recommend this, recently got steam Workshop integration. Like, two or three weeks ago. Suddenly there's a whole bunch of extra maps to play, without having to go through the hassle of downloading them off third-party sites.

>>382717354

Dawn of War 3 appears to be a pretty bad game, like from what I heard, it's trying to be DoW 2 but appeal to both old players and new players, but failing at both.

No comment on Grey Goo.

Homeworld Deserts of Kharak is a pretty good game, I've been playing it lately and it's enjoyable. The campaign will kick your ass though. I haven't played any other Homeworld games and I'm not super into the lore or anything, but it's enjoyable so far.
They also manage to make something as bland as a endless desert really interesting

>>382718184
Heroes of anihilated empires scale is fucking great. I know everyone here (myself included) love the game for the skelly spam of thousands of resurrected skellies but imo the other races are just as interesting. Elves have a varied selection of units, the dwarves golems are retarded strong and fun to use, the ice guys have a mix of heavy hitters, spammable units and surprising ammount of siege options.

My biggest gripe with the game is some of the graphical glitches and glitches in general, if you order 2 dwarf tanks to move together they'll get stuck and perpetually move until you order one to stop and carefully pull them apart. There is also the Naval combat which, since the maps that support Naval combat are few (that's another problem, way too few maps) it is never worth it to build naval units, they are also very akcwkard to use since they are so slow and clunky.

The campaign has a generic storyline but it's a lot of fun to play it also implies the game is set in a future where modern humans just died off and left some of their old stuff forgotten in the world or something, it's really strange.

Overall i recommend it just for how engaging it is, i spent hours upon hours on the skirmish alone.

>>382720895

It's not bad, but Brood War is better and SC2 is still full of unbalanced bullshit and stupid mechanics.

Only people with good taste play Brood War, which explains why you don't like it and insult best Korea like a faggot.

Wings of Liberty was the best SC2

>There is also the Naval combat which, since the maps that support Naval combat are few (that's another problem, way too few maps) it is never worth it to build naval units, they are also very akcwkard to use since they are so slow and clunky.

naval units have basically never been done right in an RTS. in general they're just weird to balance since they rely completely on the map. either they're useless because they can't put pressure on the enemy if they're stuck in a pool, or they're ungodly important since you can isolate an enemy onto their islands and win by forcing them to turtle. blizz in particular just never included them in anything after WC2

Well i think they worked well enough in Supreme commander, but that's a game that had a good share of maps that had land and naval options. Also the Ships tech tree was complex enough, maybe not as big in variety as the land or air units but it was enough for me.

BMFE and HoaE did the same mistake

Relic never made a good game

fuck them

I'm like a 4/10 on the single player on normal-tier of RTS games, and like 0/10 on multiplayer.

I've played a pretty good handful of RTS, but I always just feel like I'm absolute ass at them.I always feel like my strats are trash and my micro is garbage.

What's a semi-harder RTS ya boi can jump into that also isn't an ass game and can potentially help me bump up to a 5, or even a 6?

And yes, there is a torrent, if for some reason the torrent got taken down or is missing i'm more than willing to upload it to a mega or something.

As for being a fan of the xbox games... well, it's a nice introduction to the world, you'll see a few familiar faces, it also has a bunch of characters that appear in circle of doom so if you ever wodnered who thefuck were the elf chick or old mage guy they are MC in this game. Obviously Regnier appears but different, he is rick blood just like the opening crawl in the intro of the crusaders game said.

Overall i like it, it FEELS like a KUF game, you got your cool liches, your spunky dark elves, porks, ogres they don't look like gorillas in this which is a shame storm riders, bomber wings, like the whole game looks nice, you'll just have to endure the glitchyness and some weird ass diablo like levels.

Dawn of war 3 got a raw deal on release and now it's unfairly doomed to die. Yes it was a bit short on content but the core gameplay for MP was good. Would've been a good game with more factions. Damn shame

core gameplay for dow3 was shit, if relic wants to act like a defunct company they can make room for someone else to make a proper warhammer rts

>>382745970
core gameplay is dynamic as fuck. most every unit had an active, a lot of them having interactivity with other units and environment. Probably too dynamic for the average rts player. They fucked up balance early on and meta cheesers took advantage of it.

>>382739983
It's fun. I've only played it for a little bit but it seems like a neat mix between Settlers of Catan and the tribal stage from Spore.
