AoE2 HD still has a lot of players.

They just need to make a decent RTS and people will buy it.

LOADED WITH US QUALITY

>>386244985
Good

>you will never see a crisp, colorful top-down game again that isn't cartoony garbage
i dare you to post one 3d game that looks as good as AoE II in the above criteria

>>386245285
Fucking this.

The excuse most people make is that it's a dead genre, but it's dead because they aren't making any new GOOD games.

>>386245472

They're not making any new games because nobody plays them.

Nobody's playing them because they're esports-bait with shit/no campaigns.

>>386247873
well i mean quantum break got a steam release right? so there's hope right?

>>386247896
They could shit pure gold on a plate and faggots would still play Starcraft, WC3, AoE2, whatever they prefer.

>>386248026
nice unsubstantiated opinion

>>386248119
That's what happened with Grey Goo, with AoA, with everything.

>>386247896
>>386247975

If people were really desperate for a new RTS they would jump on any half-decent attempt.

>>386248119
Indeed, he forgot the C&Cfags

I do not understand people who put these types of games on the hardest difficulty. The best way to play is to put it on the easiest mode available, sit back, relax and build every unit possible while absorbing the comfy atmosphere.

Mandatum

>>386248208
And the SupCom fags too. I think that covers all active games though.

>>386248181
>that's what happened with these two aggressively mediocre shitfests
>>386248202
people are desperate for better RTS, there's no point in jumping onto new games that lack all the benefits of the old ones like balance and developed strategies

>>386248228
Better play a city builder

>>386248417
So how come Starcraft is still the biggest game?

>>386248553
It just became free

>>386248553
great balance, blizzard, gook glamor

if that even is true

>>386248735
It's probably SC2. There's no way to know, though.

>>386248553
starcraft is big for the same reason dota is big. weird quirks in the engine can be mastered by players who put the time in and it makes the games very satisfying to play and master.

>>386248228
depends which games. In some games the AI just cheats on harder difficulties, making it more rage inducing than fun. But a decent fair challenge is nice

>>386245223
bigdaddy

>>386248228
Eventually you get to the point where you can just dismantle the AI at your leisure but want something of a challenge, so you kick up the difficulty a little bit. Eventually you get good at defeating that difficulty and kick it up a little more. Before you know it you're playing against AI that outright cheats, which you're okay with because otherwise it feels like the enemy is made of paper.

>>386244985
Northgard is fun

>>386244162
I fucking hate the new AI.

Is this game any good?

Been sitting on the fence for a bit, the price seems a bit high for the quality level it seems to have.

>>386251797
this seems so dumb why would you need an aircraft carrier on land

>>386248228

I feel the same way.
I tried playing SC2 online but it just feels like work. You're constantly checking every building pressing buttons as fast as possible and doing everything in the same memorised order.

It's no fun at all.

>>386251560
So the AI is better and doesn't become comatose from early eco-harass and building sniping?

And how do you know what the new AI is like? Have they released a beta yet?

>>386251863
From what I gathered by looking at that image, they are on a strange planet and that is their movable HQ,

>>386251863
Maybe airplanes can't fly very fair due to sand getting stuck in their engines.

It's weird how it's improved in some areas, like it can micro harass you like crazy and even fast castle, but then it does shit like this.

>>386253296
I feel like they intentionally made easier difficulty settings harder then they used to be, because I don't remember easy and moderate settings being as hard as they are now.

>>386244162
that wall serves no purpose

>>386253853
It's pleasant to look at, thereby serving more purpose than your girlfriend.

base building and tech tiers aren't necessary in order to have a good RTS. Why aren't you playing Wargame right now?

I'd call wargame a real time tactical, not a real time strategy. I still love wargame tho, don't get me wrong, but its not the same genre.

Well, easy was literally useless in original, so that's a good thing.

Remedy could pull that off because it's an independent studio. Remedy even had their way with Alan Wake on PC. Microsoft owns AoE totally, I don't think they'll allow it on Steam.

Well it was a major update from literally cheating like it used to by getting extra resources.

But there is no balance at all. It's a blatant retard that's given some spider senses.
