played a lot of them when i was a kid, borrowed them between class mates, enjoyed them. mostly stuff like Age of Empires 1 and 2, Westwood CnC and some other niche RTS games of the olden days.

i thought i liked RTS games, so saw the Steam Strategy sale and the Summer sale as an opportunity to get back into them after years of "abstinence".

the last two RTS games i can remember having fun with were Dawn of War 1 and xpacks back in the day and Dawn of War 2 later on. Dawn of War 1 isn't really like AoE or C&C despite having base building similar to AoE and squad-recruitment for infantry like C&C, and Dawn of War 2 while lacking base building which i am hankering for really makes up for it with solid squad based real-time tactics gameplay.

i thought i liked RTS games, until i realized that there are only three RTS games (above being the exception): Age of Empires, Command & Conquer and War/StarCraft.

edit: there's also Total Annihilation/SupComm-likes, Homeworld-likes and Sins Of A Solar Empire-likes. wow 6 to choose from!

Consume the AoE:2 Definitive edition for nostalgia and wait for the Dawn of War 1 Remaster. They can’t do anything good nowadays so the best thing they’re able to come up with is whatever worked well in new graphics. Command & Conquer fucked up by not remastering Red Alert 2 and Yuris revenge.

I had a lot of fun with Total War:Warhammer but they fell off after the second part.

i sit somewhere between Total War and CK3, in Total War if for OCD reasons in any game i want a complete region or province or whatever i have to well go to Total War because the AI often refuses peace offers even if there are no armies left or if i am sieging their capital (my Total War experience is Shogun 2, Atilla Medieval Kingdoms 1212AD mod, Thrones of Britannia, Warhammer 1 and Warhammer 2);

and then i think to myself, how stupid, just let me war for this one specific area and i boot up CK3 only to be annoyed by the fact that i have to jump through hoops just to declare war at all, or play stinky Tribal and get curb stomped by mid game Men-At-Arms (cries in 867 Norway)

RTS as a genre died with Ensamble Studios

Its a dead genre only kept alive by a few franchises

Dungeons 3 is pretty badass, it's a mix of dungeon keeper and Warcraft 3.

There is Warzone 2100. It's open source now.

But yeah, rts is dead, because shitskins took over the target demographics in vidya.

Yeah after some decades we have seen it all. Time to play some new genre then? Or go full autist and understand some specific game more than anyone on the planet? (Then you join discord hoping to find out like minded autists only to find out troons talking about estrogen)

i got some ideas off the Steam summer sale. Red Dead looks neat and i got a weird craving for the mythic wild west.

Read Dead Redemption 2? Finished it through pain. Loved it until chapter 3, then all the modern bullshit was so unbearable i stopped playing this game for some time, then after some days i was "okay let's try to finish this bullshit women rights quest(main, btw), maybe it's not that bad after that... oh no, i'm killing racist hillbillies now, yeah i'm out again".

Anyway, half of the names in the credits were pooniggers.

But, the game in itself is an experience.

i loved Tiberium Wars, i know its kind of looked down upon by the CnC old-heads but it was the first CnC i played long-term.

Tempest Rising looks neat as well but i'm just not a fan of "spam-produce hordes of mooks"-type RTS anymore.

no they are not, you just believe that the only thing man must do is work, eat or sleep which is false because even the shepherds of the biblical accounts would play games, entertain themselves and so on.

stop being a retarded judaizing legalist, it's about moderation, priorities and discernment, not about rigorist absolutist binary states.

>DUDE i just LOVE the hustle and bustle of the big city, it’s so DYNAMIC and makes me feel like i’m in one of my favourite TV SHOWS. you should totally come on down to my studio apartment, it’s got EXPOSED RED BRICK walls and everything, we can crack open a nice hoppy ipa or three and get crazy watching some cartoons on adult swim! and dude, dude, DUDE, we have GOTTA go down to the barcade- listen here, right, it’s a BAR where us ADULTS who do ADULTING can go DRINK. BUT!!!! it’s also an ARCADE like when we were kids, so we can play awesome VIDEO GAMES, without dumb kids bothering us. speaking of which megan and i have finally decided to tie the knot- literally -we’re both getting snipped tomorrow at the hospital, that way we can save money to spent more on ourselves and our FURBABIES. i’m fuckin JACKED man, i’m gonna SLAM this craft beer and pop open another one!!!

this is what you look like and what you say when you play video games. ye olde conpro would never have tolerated a thread of this variety, do we have an immigration problem here?

i don't drink, and you don't want to live in an apartment like mine trust me, unless you want to feel like a rat in a cage and go stir-crazy.

> speaking of which megan and i have finally decided to tie the knot- literally -we’re both getting snipped tomorrow at the hospital, that way we can save money to spent more on ourselves and our FURBABIES.

i neither have a woman nor pets.

you say all that. and then i watch videos on Orthodox deacons talking about the unwitting theology of Warhammer 40.000 and what games they like to play, and you know what? bless you heart, brother. that'll be all.
