Swellick Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 I posted this recently at the old fourm, but I wanted to get more feedback in the new fourm.What do you like most about an RTS? Checking out new units, strategy, campaigns modpacks, or anything else you might enjoy - so what is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Op Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 I'm going to say the campaigns and modpacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngelBGE Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 Hmm..the campaign itself, strategies and general feeling of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wijitmaker Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 I like playing vs. the computers with some buddies at a LAN party. Nothing better than kicking a computers butt, it doesn't through a fit and hate you for a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swellick Posted September 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 I feel the same way. Muliplayer is to easy anyway - I can't find anybody good enough to play, so I just Wooop the Comps Hinne! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix-dragonslayer Posted September 28, 2003 Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 I like playing vs. the computers with some buddies at a LAN party. Nothing better than kicking a computers butt, it doesn't through a fit and hate you for a week Best way to play IMO. Ken (TheRealDeal), my father in-law, and I have played this way many times....Beats getting your butt kicked alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkT Posted September 28, 2003 Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 I like RTSes with a quality environment - music, art and so on... But, more than that, the thing that makes a good game great is a storyline - if it's something decently epic (eh, well... that's the Homeworld series, and Total Annihilation felt epic but didn't really use the story beyond the intro) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUD Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 What I like the most in a RTS is:-Realism. I just love the planes in Empire Earth or Sudden Strike II or Total Annihilation, but I hate them in Starcraft or Star Wars GB, think why. Other realistic game is the Cossacks/American Conquest saga, the most realistic ever.-Eyecandy and variety. I like a lot of different units, lots of eyecandy for terrain, lots of scn editor stuff, that's what I like the most of SWGb for example, and AOK in its day. When I open the scn editor, if I think "wow, there's a cool stuff here to make scenarios and such" that's a good thing to like the game.-Easy and addictive. I dont know why but some games have a feeling that makes them to play more and more: AOE, C&C, Red Alert.. there seems to not be more of these games anymore, though... that's why they are classics-Epic and good story. C&C with its gruesome quantity of cool videos made me feel inside the story. I love epic plots, such as C&C's , and though it's isnt RTS: Baldur's Gate II, almost LordoftheRings-ish-Memorable units/buildings. Ahhh, the AOE hoplite..the Red Alert attack dogs... Starcraft siege tanks...the C&C obelisks and Orca bombers... see what I mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swellick Posted September 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 Gotta Hand it to ya - I love the Realism, Eye candy and Units too! Though I must say I like microminding myself, though, the classics are fun to play if you just want to sit down and have fun. Have you played Lords of the Realm II - My FAVORITE, all the while, EE comes in Close! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
