Do RTS developers just not understand tactics? Anonymous 30-09-25 02:41:42 No.44400[Reply]

For real life military tactics, well tactics are actually pretty ancient. The historical cause for large scale formations and mass marches was mainly caused by either poor education among common soldiers or weapons too heavy/large to carry easily. Otherwise, squad level tactics, raids, deception warfare, mobility, and other “tacticool” nonsense has been a part of war for eons or possibly thousands of years. The main enabler is usually mobility for infantry soldiers to avoid having to rely on mobs of slow moving men for battles.
I don’t see why in nearly every RTS game I’ve seen, seemingly everything revolves around post feudal era mob tactics you’d find from countries like Britain, Germany, or the USA before it started getting into formal warfare. Am I just missing something?

Honestly the only RTS game I played a lot of was Planetary Annihilation and I just played the biggest casual team battles that would go on for hours and I would roleplay the whole thing and zoom in on the battles that would be like gallipoli or the skirmishes in destroyed cities and I would pretend I was zipping through them in ODM gear.

I've yet to play a spring engine RTS that wasn't macroslop and BAR has more players than zero-k.

>Starcraft is perfect and no other game comes close
Can't queue unit production for no good reason.
>MOBAs added tons of RNG and PVE so that matches would become complete coinflips which permanently ruined the RTS genre forever.
Completely misses why MOBAs ruined RTS which is appealing to APM obsessed autists.

I think Real Time Tactics would be like Arknights if you couldn't just helidrop operators and they had to run to the tile you're deploying them to.

you are either baiting, confused about what you actually want, or have a massive skill issue
roblox has more players than any rts, what's your point. the difference between zero-k and bar is the scripting capabilities and the focus on asymmetric warfare and emergent gameplay. you can delegate macro or micro to the ai depending on your play style. ta was all about macro

I don't know, this kind of looks like a mess. I hate the zero personality generic anime guy + i hate the annoying loli + it has too many mechanics + the mechanics it has were probably executed better in the other games it's borrowing from.

It looks like there is absolutely no vision for the game whatsoever and the mechanics probably don't really interact in a meaningful way and it's like a dozen different games stitched together.

The dialogue feels like it was written and performed by AI too.

Yeah the old Project Mugen trailers seemed a lot more grounded: Saints Row with some cut scenes and characters with a mix of combat styles. Grapple hooks were there but not so much of a focus that it drowns out everything else and obsoletes other modes of transport. More character driven.

Also what the fuck I thought this was pre-COVID, not 2 years ago??

Was this the ultimate anti capitalist video game project? Anonymous 27-09-25 21:10:49 No.44378[Reply]

The console, the entire idea of online in 1999, the entirety of Shenmue as a project as the most expensive game ever, something that seemed like it was always possible to make its money back

By all metrics this thing was always gonna be a moneysink. A kind hearted Japanese capitalist named Isao Okawa bankrolled it, lost money and still bailed the company out and forgave alot of their debt.

It brought joy to many people and was inspirational to many who experience it…but at the end of the day, it was more like art installitaion more than a convential video game console sold as a toy

There hasn't been a good game in decades. Outside of a memed on movie, Sonic hasn't had any significant cultural influence in decades. Yet, SEGA put out an earnings report and "Sonic in a car" well outsold Total War. Who are these people? Where do they come from?

>Who are these people?
Moms and aunts buying Sonic games as birthday and Christmas presents. At least that's my mindcanon for how the Sonic fandom seems to have so many disturbed, religious and socially awkward teenagers, the vast majority of teens are just getting the latest CoD because their parents are like "whatever who cares?" when it comes to video game violence, but for the kind of overbearing and overprotective parents that won't allow it for their 14 or 15 year old who claims is too old for Mario, it's Sonic. At that age they're finally mature enough to experience a character with some 'tude, but it's also the age that Rogue the Bat is going to be a formative part of their sexuality.

The irony therefore being you get a member of the Sonic fandom banging the Sonic Adventure voice actor, announcing it on Twitter and confirming "the voice was used", which I don't think is a thing that ever happened amongst the CoD fanbase.

I really, really, really, really wish they made a 3D platformer sonic game, but actually good and without the stupid gimmicks that stop the momentum, and with open levels, and without the AWFUL new edgy sonic design that looks fucking STUPID, and without out of place realistic environments and characters

>EA at one point used to release good games (Road Rash)
I checked a list of games released by EA in the 2000s decade and it's like 70% sports games, the rest is either licensed property shovelware, a sims spinoff and the occasional gem, like Burnout or TimeSplitters. So even in the PS2 era EA was already an infamous company.

Roman Polanski came to mind. Watching his movies you'd think he's a person with a lot of compassion and empathy for victims of sexual exploitation of any sort. Knowing what he did in life legit feels like a plot twist.

Glowing Touhou Project 09-09-25 21:01:37 No.44241[Reply]

The twentieth official game got released on August 17, 2025, did anyone try it?

The Touhou Project is a bullet hell shoot 'em up video game series created by independent Japanese doujin soft developer Team Shanghai Alice. The team's sole member, Jun'ya "ZUN" Ōta, has independently developed programming, graphics, writing, and music for the series, publishing 20 mainline games and 13 spin-offs since 1997. ZUN has also produced related print works and music albums, and collaborated with doujin developer Twilight Frontier on seven of the official spin-offs, six of which are fighting games.
