TBH fam, I will likely get this, but I would much rather see a DLC that would feature Skinnies as antagonists. That would really change things up and push the game towards some serious new ground. Oh well...
Available now:
The EDF series might be up your alley, that is one bug wars franchise that really doesn’t take itself too seriously.Nice pictures. It fills me with frustration. I wish there was a bug war franchise that actually appealed to me.
I cannot get into SST. Its attempts at satire are repugnant because leftists are literal nazis. I don’t care about the quality of writing, it’s still pro-nazi propaganda. I’m never giving money to psychopaths who chant “gas the jews!” while calling anyone who disagrees with them “nazis.” Seriously, wtf?
I cannot get into 40k because the tyranids are an insignificant part of it. The overwhelming majority of 40k is dedicated to circlejerking over ultrasmurfs, primarchs and other lore vomit that is utterly irrelevant to story and gameplay. 40k is one of the major reasons why I hate the entire concept of lore. It’s just a new religion to give the illusion of meaning to our worthless unhappy lives while siphoning our wallets like the parasite it is. Storytelling? Creativity? Who gives a fuck about that when you can debate irrelevant factoids like a real nerd?
I cannot get into Starcraft because the writing is easily among the most braindead nonsense I’ve ever read. That doesn’t sound like much if you’ve read your share of bad fanfiction or modern movies, but it’s millions of dollars wasted that could’ve been spent on something actually good. I guess the gameplay is functional, but it’s a video game and wouldn’t ever have been financially successful if the gameplay didn’t work.
I’d love to make my own game that caters to my tastes, but I lack any relevant skills (nor does my busy distraction-filled life afford me time or money to learn) and AI isn’t anywhere advanced enough to make entire games by itself. I’m filled with impotent frustration, existential angst, and self-loathing.
Wait until Gehenna (if you got the DLC). You will be fighting on small strips of land, surrounded by lava, making positioning a real pain in the behind.My main problem is, for a game values positioning like this, having absolutely horrible unit controls. Especially as a group. Some formations would do really good for this game.
