starcraft 2

RTS games look like exquisite chocolate.

I am Ok with this comparison..it feels..natural, both so sweet, and both so easy to mess up

too sweet..and it hurts your teeth, too bitter and it doesn't work, and if you add something new, it better be worth it (looking at you moving base command and conquer D:< )

Haha, its the reason I'm rubbish at them, I sit looking at the animations going "mmmmm yummy"

I spawn units that are prettier as opposed to what is tactically correct, then I lick the screen.

I do the exact same thing. My feelings about things like base defence and unit placement are that aesthetics is more important than functinality. If it looks good, it's working. As well as that, I spend far too much time watching the battles, and not enough making more dudes to fight in them.

In the next StarCraft I hope for all our sake that we can spawn "white picket fencing", it'd really make our bases stand out, and hopefully with a dead bolt on the front gate our adversaries would find it difficult to enter, after all, it'd be locked from the inside.

KAPOW! take that Zergs!

being serious for a second i do think alot of people like playing RTS for the eye candy, and building pretty bases and turtling up like that.

eh, I'm just fine with it being PC/Mac only. I've only ever played Battle for middle-earth 2 on 360, and I guess it was okay. Sure as hell would have liked it more on PC, though, but from what I gather it's impossible to find for a reasonable price....

Not me, for two reasons.

1. RTS games just don't work on consoles when they play so well on PC.
2. I never liked the Starcraft series anyway.

Too complicated + mouse and keyboard are the "rts tools". If u wanna see what rts turns into on the console check Halo Wars, god I regret paying for that, could have had more fun just by buying ice cream for all the money

Well, Endwar had the voice commands, which while isn't as precise as mouse, it is interesting and almost works. If the enemy unit naming didnt reset everytime you lost sight of them, plus the fact that verteran units can defeat units that were supposed to be their counters, then it would have been a lot better.

RTS games are usually terrible on consoles, pass.

Id like to see it on consoles not because I think it would work aswell as on pc but due to the fact theres no other way Ill get to play it as I dont think my laptop can handle much in the way of gaming.

 

[Nouw]

Not me. It'd be terrible.

I don't know how many times this needs to be said.

RTS on consoles = fail. Look at Halo Wars and how crappy it was. The original Starcraft was made for the N64, it also sucked.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

Imagine what would happen in a cross-platform multiplayer!
Those on consoles would be murdered, not to make fun of them or anything, but it is really a huuge limitation as dictated by the controllers.

Basically, it would bog it down too much, which is exactly what you don't need a controller to do.

wish I knew if my laptop could play it ... doubt it though
