[QUOTE=The bird Man;49686704]Total War is actually shit and the developers suck even harder.
Except for Medieval 2 and Rome 1.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Sobotnik;49686727]I hold the opposite view, except I think Empire and Rome 2 are shit[/QUOTE]
the biggest problem with Total War as a series is that for some reason they think that each game needs to be more ambitious than the last
I do not give a single fuck at how detailed and randomized my units are, or what fancy bullshit you've crammed into your lighting engine. I don't care how big you made the map - in fact, my favorite Total War campaigns are the small ones where turns are fast and focus is tight.
CA, please, for the love of god - just take Shogun 2's gameplay design and technology, throw in more unit variety, and improve the AI every once in a while. That's literally all you need to do for every game you will ever make.
CA is going in the right direction with Rome and Atilla. Having generals limited and required for armies forces the player to make choices.

The campaign is really bad and the Chinese feel broken as all hell.
[QUOTE=Rangergxi;49685237]Nothing wrong with being offended about things but it doesn't entitle you to anything and doesn't justify violence.[/QUOTE]
[del]When did I say it justified violence?[/del]
[del]People who respond to words with actions are the worst people ever. When someone tries to intimidate or control you using those methods - THAT is when violence is justified on your part.[/del]
EDIT: Misinterpreted your post, my bad.
Still though, you'd have to be pretty damn insecure to resort to violence. It's not shameful to handle the truth.
Ang lee's Hulk is actually pretty good.

So aggression is good so long as it's passive?

tbqh I found Shogun 2 to be one of the most dull games in the seires
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;49686432]Racing games are fucking [I]boring[/I] 99% of the time. I wouldn't be caught dead paying $70 for a racing game.[/QUOTE]
Mario Kart is the exception. I fucking love Mario Kart.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;49690522]None of the Hulk movies are good.[/QUOTE]
Ok maybe "pretty good" is an overstatement. But i found it way more enjoyable than most superhero movies personally.
Honestly most modern racing games suck ass, arcade or sim
They're either way too easy or have races that take no time at all. There's absolutely no tension in a race you can finish in 2 minutes where you know you're going to win
It's shit in most games, but I like it when racing games have AI that has an advantage over you. If they don't, then pretty much all the time you're going to absolutely dominate. What's worse is the rare game that doesn't have difficulty levels at all, like the 2010 NFS Hot Pursuit. I inexplicably love that game despite it really not being that special, but it's [I]so easy[/I] and you can't make it harder, and that sucks
Like I started a new game and won 15 events first place without barely even trying
[editline]7th February 2016[/editline]
Forza 4 is acceptable, but it has the ever-present issue of difficulty levels that go from far too easy to way too hard with no inbetween
I forget exactly how it works, but from what I remember you had 5 AI skill levels plus a bunch of other realism options like manual shifting
Level 1 was shitbaby easy, Level 2 was a breeze, level 3 only occasionally gave the AI much of a chance, but Level 4 jumped to [I]you[/I] occasionally having a chance
now obviously this is all subjective, some people probably thought the balance was fine, but I thought it wasn't balanced very well, at least with the AI difficulty
And Gran Turismo is literally just who has the better numbers, You pretty much have to metagame and make the ultimate supercar out of one of the 50 different models of Nissan Skyline to win at most events
Plus it's biased as shit (there are more Japanese cars than any other nation and they're always superior, whereas american cars, no matter how new, all handle like greased tugboats) and has a physics model from 1998
Singleplayer racing games are a joke, the AI will always be shit, there's no avoiding it. You either make it magically catch up to the player/wait for him to keep the tension throughout, but that's shit because you might as well not even try at that point, the AI will always wait for you. And if you do try, it will snap to your heels but never overtake you, and if it does, it's blatant bullshit.
Or you can have the AI not cheat at all and just deal with the fact that you'll never have any tension happening ever.

Which is a huge shame because I love racing games and want them to be good.
I just tried nutella on a sandwich for the first time, and I almost gagged. Why the hell would you mix candy with sandwiches?
Cheese, meat, eggs, vegetables, and other such things belong on sandwiches, nothing else
The fun of competitive games isn't worth going through their awful communities, I thought it wasn't bringing me down but it was. Coming out of every game of CSGO feeling like human garbage because I missed some shots isn't worth it.

There's more solo competitive games like starcraft 2 where the only rage you get is the delicious rage of the enemy. Fighting games too.
too bad I'm hilariously bad at rts
another unpopular opinion: rts isn't fun

that's the point of sorting players into leagues tho. if its possible to beat you by only making workers then yeh, bronze it is for you.
but can't argue with your second part
rts is a 'dead' genre because it never translated well to consoles
there was a period of time where basically every game was designed to play well with a controller, because 95% of producer revenue came from console customers
PC gaming has seen a massive resurgence but nobody has really revived the RTS yet outside of starcraft 2
I can watch RTS matches all day long, Command and Conquer, Starcraft, Rise of Nations, you name it.
Actually play the games... Nah.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;49692393]the second one isn't unpopular, rts is pretty much a dead genre because of it's lack of mainstream appeal[/QUOTE]
I wouldn't quite call it dead, there's things going on still, but it's fallen from where it was in the 90s into the niche it is today.
I like how every other month somebody tries to revive RTS and fails miserably.
Grey Goo, Act of Aggression, Deserts of Kharak... All of them gathered a crowd of old RTS fans that dispersed after two weeks.
Up next we get Ashes of the Singularity and Dawn of War which seem like they may succeed, but to be honest, I'm not exactly optimistic quite yet.

To me it seems like they're just like MMOs that try to compete with world of warcraft. Just like what wow has done with theme-park MMOs, starcraft 2 has done for that sort of RTS game. Why play a new game when another has a much larger, very established community with years of relative balance? In order to be successful a game pretty much has to be like total war, which is why I'm at least somewhat hopeful about dawn of war.
Closest we have to RTS revival right now is MOBAs.

Not much of a consolation.
Meh, we might see something as mobas die down a bit. Just like all other trends have.
