Post your favorite quotes, talk about your favorite or old games, shitpost, discuss upcoming stuff. Upcoming stuff: >Company of Heroes 3 >Homeworld 3 >Sins of a Solar Empire 2 >Ratten Reich >The Great War Western Front >WarNo >Broken Arrow >Xenonauts 2 >Touhou Empires >Men of War 2 >Tempest Rising >SeaPower A remaster of Tiberian Sun/Red Alert 2 much like the OG would be nice, though I doubt they wouldn't fuck up the spritework on them since that has way higher definition and small details than the original.
Dawn of War Remaster Literally just a fucking 4K upscale with some gloss. Only good thing about this cashgrab is the 64 bit release so mods aren't stuck to 3GB of RAM.
>>1390649 https://archive.is/UZCUa >"-the Definitive Edition is totally compatible with historic Dawn of War mods" Awesome. >it includes all the expansion packs Oh shit. I did not expect them to be that generous. Most devs would have happily charged extra for each one. I guess Relic is trying to win back fan support after fucking up repeatedly. On that note, I look forward to seeing how they fuck it up later this year. >>1384127 Yeah that sounds like ass cancer.
>>1390699 >It includes all expansion packs >Generous Anon, it's just a re-release, I'm guessing Relic is strapped for money since they're independent from Sega now. They barely changed a thing to be charging for fucking 2 decade old expansions again.
>>1390715 I'm just saying those niggers could have gotten away with charging separately per game, but they didn't. Yes the bar for triple gAAAy generosity is that fucking low. An actually generous move would be to give it away for free to owners of the old games, but there are fags saying their shitscord already confirmed it won't be given for free and that pricing will instead be "competitive". My guess is $30-50 range. >Relic is strapped for money since they're independent from Sega I keep forgetting about that. >They barely changed a thing to be charging for fucking 2 decade old expansions again 64 bit was all I wanted from them, so I really don't give a shit about the rest of it as the graphics and such never really bothered me in the old games. I'll be sailing the seven seas and enjoying myself later when it releases.
>>1390699 >they still wont increase zoom out distance
any news on a game like Total War or Wargame set in 30k setting?
>>1390802 >those niggers could have gotten away with charging separately per game Doubt it
>>1391384 You clearly have more hope in mankind than I do anon.
>>1391384 you under estimate how much dick sucking buttermilk bobs are more than happy to do for their god GW the only thing that keeps it from happening is that rts is a wall most normies can't cross into it's why Space Marine 2 was so successful despite having dog shit gameplay and progression
>getting caught up on RTS news scrolling through random news articles and jewtube videos >see fag with 50k subscribers defending Homeworld 3 a year later I really don't get how these people exist.
Broken Arrow is out for early payers. Don't buy or play it just yet. It doesn't come with AI Skirmish and there's alot of bugs at the moment.
>>1404535 I'll still get it for the campaign Games like these are too few nowadays.
>>1475061 I always avoid being an early adopter for reasons like this. Games being shipped incomplete drives me nuts. >>1475649 >I'll still get it for the campaign At least don't give those faggots any money for raping Homeworld like they did.

>>1476092 Fuck are you talking about? Broken Arrow has nothing to do with Homeworld 3 Not the dev, not the publisher, not even the same country. Homeworld 3 was all American studios and Broken Arrow is a Russian developed game published by brits.
>>1476113 >Fuck are you talking about? You replied to my post talking about Homeworld my nigger, so I naturally assumed you were talking about that.
>>1476128 Ah fuck, >>1475649 was meant for >>1475061 my bad!
>>1476213 All good anon. I'm just glad I didn't come across someone who actually wanted to purchase Homeworld 3.
Any Tempest Rising news?
>>1476319 I did, before all the red flags and the inevitable release.

Finished the NATO side of Broken Arrow. And I don't want to play anymore. >I'm pretty sure this game was made by the same team of Russians that made Syrian Warfare and Terminator Dark Fate. >They were hyping this up as "The next generation of RTS. A modern day World in Conflict." >On release, it's just plain broken. >The most obvious things, Skirmish mode is locked behind an online profile. People have been banned because they used cheat engine while engaged in a skirmish. >Troop customization does exist but it matters very little. Sight ranges and any missile will kill your unit before you can even engage in combat. >Armor on units is tissue paper. As soon as you're sighted, you're pretty much dead. >This compounds in the campaign where there's no save for some reason. So if you make a bad play and your units get wiped out because you forgot about that Iskander battery, better restart all over again. >The game also runs like ass. I couldn't be bothered manually targeting bombs for JDAMS with lasers so I used dumb bomb runs instead. This resulted in the game pausing while the bombs fell, only restarting after they had hit. It's consistent too for some reason. >Mission design is with per-designated units too. You're given the ability to design a Strike Group so I thought you'd be using them during the campaign but nope. >Last mission has some CIA spook wanting to blow up a dam to force back the Russians for some reason. Never mind that a Nato ally deploying a nuclear device in a friendly country in a major population center, it would also be the first nuke deployed in war in 80 years. The fallout the Americans would receive might be enough to force the other NATO countries to kick it out. It's just an unfun experience overall. World in Conflict is almost 20 years old and it's still just better at everything. The camera doesn't randomly zoom in, units can actually survive hits most of the time, actual tactical aid that can help in places where you don't need to move units. Even just micromanaging units like telling them to move while grouped is such a simple thing and they botched it here.
>>1486154 *Skirmish against the AI alone.
>>1486154 Why aren't you playing PVP pooftah?
>>1486154 That sounds really disappointing. I really hate how so many games require a years worth of patching before they are playable. >World in Conflict I need to play that game again sometime. It has been too long since my last playthrough.
>>1486154 >I'm pretty sure this game was made by the same team of Russians that made Syrian Warfare and Terminator Dark Fate. It's not >The rest Skill issue >WiC I love it to this day but it's way more arcady than this with stupidly tanky units, this was never like that.
Broken arrow is Literally the coolest and RTS since Wargame Airland/Red dragon
>>1496427 It's a barely function game with stutters and bugs that make you lose an hour of progress or force an end to a skirmish because the devs can't code in save games. In current year +10. To not have a save option. This isn't even counting how it expects you to micro like a god, send units back to resupply as soon as they run out of javalins and all while avoiding enemy fire where even looking at a BMP2 can cause you to die. It's not good and you should stop defending it.
>>1496663 Terminal skill issue. The game isn't perfect, but it's a decent RTS/wargame hybrid, but your points of contempt are just laughable.
>>1496663 Get gud
This fucking airbase assault Campaign mission is actually the russian Devs being petty fuckers about their nation failing to invade an airport with Airborne.
>>1497761 The one where you play as Airborne and have to steal an SU-57? Oh yeah.
>>1498076 Best US mission so far has to be the SF one, that was cool as fuck. I think I will use German Leopards in the next mission but i've played the whole day today.
>>1497761 I've seen worse, the Russian "corridor of death" in Cock of Doody 2019 had me slapping my knee.

Currently we’re investigating our options to make your single player experience more convenient. Are you fucking kidding me? They can't somehow put in saves for single player but will adjust the Anti-Cheat to cater more to multiplayer.
Wololo!
