The basic problem with platform games is that you have to jump, and I don't like that so it's a problem with the genre. The basic problem with shooting games is that you shoot things, and I don't like that so it's a problem genre. ... When will people realize that Starcraft is in a separate RTS sub-genre. You don't see Burnout fans screaming: "I need to change gears and tweak my car in Forza? So new players need to learn all this stuff just to compete? It would be so much better if they took that stuff out so we could just focus on the racing aspect without having to grind out learning all these complicated things. A racing line? That's just muscle memory and memorization! Where's the skill in that? It just takes the fun out of it all, what a lame game." The game is designed in the exact opposite way that you would have liked? Could that possibly mean that you're not their target audience? | ||

Joshua McDonald | 5 Mar 2010 at 10:59 am PST Tim, you don't believe that thinking quickly is one aspect of strategy? That's like saying that timed chess games have no strategy. In real combat, victory doesn't just go to the person who can think of the best tactics but the one that can think of them the most quickly. Yes, super-fast click skill is highly valuable in an RTS, and you need it to some degree to handle an initial rush, but if you have no strategy, you'll only get so far. There's enormous tactical depth for somebody who really takes the time to learn the game. Besides, whether you like the genre or not, it's hard to make a case that a game that sold over 10 million copies and is still heavily played 11 years later has a "broken gameplay model". | ||

But you usually only know what to build by trail and error and memorizing what the AI is going to do. they can't even beat an AI straight up, lmao these people need to get their heads out of their asses and just realize that a) they suck and b) they don't know what they're talking about | ||

Might as well be reading what people think of certain flavours of jello. Actually a better comparison is to look up reviews of your favourite alcoholic drink and read opinions of people who didn't like it, then analyse your reaction. Some people like a little bite. Some people are pansies  | ||
