Why did Real Time Strategy genre die out?
How? Your argument is that you have a shit strategy if you choose to try use say, zerglings to harass the opponent when you can't handle doing that and keeping up your macro and scouting and so forth. But doing both of those things properly at the same time is very demanding in a way that has...- Damned Registrations

They need to make a new Golden Axe!
Looks pretty cool for a fan game. There's actually a ton of these walk along beat 'em ups out there; I've never gotten into them for the most part. Loved Dragon's Crown, aside from the stupid rune fondling bit it was glorious. I've played Castle Crashers and Scott Pilgrim vs the World a bit...- Damned Registrations

Why did Real Time Strategy genre die out?
Imagine if in order to build settlers in Civilization you needed to type 85 words per minute. Does that mean you're a skilled strategist because you 'chose' to be a warmonger and never build a settler? Or does it mean you had no other options? Would it make the game better by raising the skill...- Damned Registrations

Why did Real Time Strategy genre die out?
I would say that playing a MOBA is akin to playing poker- any retard can win once in a while because he got lucky, but being good enough to calculate your odds properly while also judging the human factor of the other players is an artform. Obviously the MOBA also has the dexterity factor of...- Damned Registrations

Why did Real Time Strategy genre die out?
People made custom maps with thing like enforced 'no rush 15' rules or even zero build time and starting with massive resources so workers weren't even necessary beyond building your tech. Even among people that didn't there were plenty that would put it in the title of the match, or have maps...- Damned Registrations

Why did Real Time Strategy genre die out?
You're not supposed to float resources though. Yeah, it happens eventually if (big if) the game lasts that long, but floating resources before you've hit the supply cap means you didn't build enough production buildings or whatever and all else being equal, means you're going to get spanked when...- Damned Registrations

Why did Real Time Strategy genre die out?
Except that the point of complex controls for an action game is typically to give the player a wider degree of freedom in what he can do- allowing complex combos in Nioh or a fighting game isn't there just to raise the skill ceiling, it's to let people play in different ways- some prefer to use...- Damned Registrations

From Software Elden Ring - From Software's new game with writing by GRRM
Androgenous men have been seen as appealing in Japanese culture for a long time. It's why it's so common among anime/game villains. Something along the lines of 'Only a chump needs brute force to win, a real badass can win while barely touching you.'- Damned Registrations

Why did Real Time Strategy genre die out?
I mean, why though? My stance on it is clear: I want the genre to be closer to the ideal of manipulating an organization at will, with the difficulty entirely being a matter of planning and thinking of appropriate responses in time. You seem to value you skill inherent in clicking a mouse very...- Damned Registrations

Vapourware Features from old games you wish are done more often.
I miss Kiosk modes for games. I realize they're fairly pointless these days, but I have fond memories of getting excited seeing gameplay or little biographies of soldiers or monsters in stuff like strategy games and rpgs, even when I had the game myself; it was a nice way to tease the game right...- Damned Registrations

Incline Monster Hunter World - G-rank edition. Now on PC.
Are you using environmental traps? They can be massive chunks of damage. If there's sleep frogs around or your palico has a sleep weapon waking the monster up with barrel bombs and a charged attack can be another nice boost.- Damned Registrations

In Progress Dominions 6 - Rise of the Pantokrator: The New Decline a.k.a ProfessionalThroneSitters MP Match (Ongoing!)
The hilarious thing is how that commander died with a 1 damage attack negated by MR. I don't know what the odds are of that, but I'm going to go with 'pretty fucking low.' I feel like you got lucky though; instead of the hawks being left stranded, another attack let a commander flee into the...- Damned Registrations
