Do you play fg's? What are your favorites? I'm grinding SF6 currently. I'm still shit, slowly getting better. Overall I appreciate the genre, because it's a rare case of 1v1 multiplayer experience, I never liked team games where everyone is just blaming the other players.

Not having to do complex movements is very relaxing. Imagine playing Melee or Quake instead of Rivals of Aether or Warfork/Xonotic. Like, what in the fuck? I feel sorry for those with carpal tunnel…

I love fighting games but I haven't actually played one in months, and haven't actually gotten "into" playing one in years. I still like to keep up with fgc news, and watch relevant tournaments and youtubers. My favourite is definitely Guilty Gear, but I appreciate anime fighters of all kinds. My partner bought me Tekken 8 as an early Christmas gift, though, so I plan on getting into that.

Is it imperialist to play as Guile in Street Fighter?

I used to play them a lot around 2006ish. I've been trying to get back into CvS2 again, but my execution has gotten hella rusty. I don't remember canceling Chun-Li's c.MP into kick super being so difficult.

These games are too chuddy for me

It's funny and also sad that RWS changed the ending of Postal 1 because a school shooting wasn't shocking any more

>>44221
sadly true.. :(



 

I hate all of it. The fans, the retarded looking oversized armor. Most of all I hate that it’s heavily focused on the American military. You never get to play as the Russian orcs or anything. No you always play as the US marines. Because it’s meant to be pro us military propaganda. Just like Starship Troopers hides behind fake bullshit “anti war” veil that doesn’t mean anything because it’s still a pro us military movie. Do you get to play as the bugs in the Starship Troopers game? Nope. Yeah it’s all chinlet us military propaganda. Same with that gay Helldivers game.

Back then screen sizes were 1024x768, now it's I don't even know how large these things get. Not only you have the space to spare to put in everything you could ever wanted to put, UI itself is now hugging the edges of the screen

If it weren't for this trailer, most players wouldn't even notice his absence in the next game.

Considering the state Dawn of War 1 Definitive edition released in, I would advise curbing your enthusiasm.

Funny how this guy went from the most hated character in the franchise in his overpowered release + taking away the spotlight as the main character; to one of the most beloved new additions to the game. A good VA and a few memes make all the difference.

>>43829
It's because they've released a lot of more annoying (gameplay-wise) characters since then.

Bro, why do you keep reposting old ass threads? I know I've seen you post this thread and this one:>>44195 before.

A thread where we can talk freely about the Total War Saga and CA, historical, non-historical, classics, new titles, all the way from Shogun 1 to Pharaoh or whatever you want.
Mods, Historical accuracy, game mechanics, critique of newer titles, etc.

Interesting YouTube channels:
< Volound; he makes videos about game mechanics, he is pretty controversial within the community for his critiques of CA and post-Shogun 2 titles (https://m.youtube.com/@Volound)
< Legend of Total War; mostly gameplay videos about various TTW titles (https://m.youtube.com/@LegendofTotalWar/videos)
< To Nerd is To Human; another gameplay channel, although they have also made modding tutorials in the past for Rome and Medieval 2 (https://m.youtube.com/@ToNerdistoHumanTNH/videos)

I’ve only played the napoleon one which is fun but after a while i just end up creating “meat grinders” (positioning troops in a line and waiting) and picking off generals with my cannons

Anybody have any advice on how to play the game properly?

>>44131
I used to play this realism mod with my friend online. I remember it was hard as shit. You'll find your troops getting wasted potentially in a few volleys.

I think it was Darthmod and I played it a few times with the creator. You got to be good or you get stomped in online.

>>44131
>>44132
Oh, but they still had to have a "no general sniping" rule in MP because it's so easy to cheese the game like that.

>>44130
It's would be fun without the shit UI

>>44129
this is what i posted in the other TW thread

idk i always come back to TW but it never holds my attention for too long. the problem for me hasnt ever necessarily been the particular problems title to title but the overall gameplay loop. the strategic campaign/tactical combat is a massive draw and has so much potential, but it always ends up feeling kind of clunky and unsatisfying. like its strangely rare to actually feel like the tactical combat is a hig stakes, pivotal battle. if youre playing the campaign right youre moving around with a couple big stacks and not overextending yourself, and then the most challenging battles are playing as a garrison fighting off a small enemy army that snuck behind your borders. even if its a fun combat, it ends up feeling tedious. ultimately everything is just about managing a very linear economy to maintain enough garrisons to go on the offensive. which doesnt sound terrible in theory, but in practice youre constantly jumping between relatively inconsequential economic decisions (upgrade building now or later) and relatively inconsequential battles (need to spend 30 minutes defending a location peripheral to the main action). and halfway optimal play means you need to micromanage all of it, which means spending a few hours jumping between decisions that rarely feel like they tie together and payoff.

then they add in this half-baked dynastic politics that isnt important enough to be satisfying but is too important to ignore completely.

i think Total War might benefit from leaning in to the more focused premises, and adjusting the priorities of campaign strategy so that attrition/training of your armies is more of a priority than managing country economy. in Napolean youre either trying to defeat Napolean or conquer Europe as Napolean. in Attila youre either trying to survive the hordes or you are the hordes. even with the other flaws present, at least when the campaign has this clear context it feels like what youre doing has some stakes and narrative so that its easier to enjoy the process

So there's a famous scene in Warcraft 3 where Arthas, upon seeing that grain infected with the undead plague had been distributed in Stratholme, orders the city purged.

There's some controversy over whether Arthas was wrong for doing this. On one hand, if you play the game, Arthas can come across as something of a John Snow-like character in the sense that he's the only one that seems to be taking the plague and the undead Scourge as the dire, even apocalyptic threat that they actually are. In the Stratholme level itself, the citizens are actively turning into the undead as you meet them, while the Scourge are present and active in the city, lead by Mal'ganis who is swelling their numbers with infected citizens. This might lead a player to conclude that Arthas is doing what is necessary to prevent the Scourge from getting a city-sized army and preventing his subjects from becoming the mindless slaves of the Lich King. A mercy kill, if you will.

But there are many, including the writers who seem to disagree. In fact, the guy who wrote the mission apparently thinks its obvious that Arthas was in the wrong and that you're a psycho if you think otherwise.

What causes this disconnect?

Made me remember some good times

Arthas didn't do nothing wrong
HAY QUE PURGAR TODA LA CIUDAD

>>43685
The thing is they shouldnt present an alternative, the fact purge of Stratholme was the only course of action he could had taken is a core component of Arthas' storyline. If he was in wrong there, then Arthas has no arc, he was always secretly an evil murderous maniac.

>>43740
He wasn't really a evil murderous maniac so much as he went insane with his quest for revenge.

>>42058
Arthas' biggest mistake was stepping foot on Northrend. Once he did, he was gone.
He could have turned towards the right path before that point, but he foolishly got baited by Malganis.

I thought that the save/reset stuff worked well. Because we were determined to get the best ending, even if we died/got hurt/failed, we came back and tried again. Just like how real life endeavors might not be easy, but we stay determined and keep trying or something idk
