You nifty little dog you, figuring out my anti-mainstream agenda. Perhaps it's shit because well, it's shit? Ultima is an extremely popular series, and they're my favorite games of all time. I love the Total War series and they regularly top the charts.StarCraft is popular, therefore it must be shit.
Err, I said the enjoyment I got out of the game was comparable to beating myself in the head with a brick. I hated everything about it. The resource collecting, the stupid units, the thin rock-paper-scissors mechanic, zerg rushes, the missions, everything. Is that okay with you?Mind stating what the game has in common with beating someone with a brick, or are you just talking out of your arse again.
Put your money where you mouth is, BNOL. Not my fault the majority of real time games coming out today are shit. I happen to like a lot of real-time games, yes even RTS! Oh man! Inconcievable! Would it make your little boo-boo feel better if we covered Korean Starcraft tournaments and had a big "WESTWOOD ARE OUR GAY LOVERS!!" banner on the site?TC folks are pretty pretentious when it comes to what's 1337 and what's not. If it's not Total War, X-Com, or a 4X game, it's for stupid nubs.
If someone makes a seriously kickass RTS, I won't hate on it just because it's not turn-based or whatever. A good games is a good game is a good game. It's just that no one recently has made a truly good RTS that's knocked my socks off.
Clayton, I'm sorry if you're STILL upset over Shagnak calling you a twit or getting your ass handed to you in argument but get over it, mang. All things must pass, the times they are a-changin' and so on and so forth.
