There have been no other RTS games since WC3, realistically speaking. That's not something to SC2's credit. We just need someone to step up to the plate and make a good one again. Even if it's not the next BW, I'd be happy to see an AoE, an AoE2, or a WC3. | ||

I keep hoping someone will make a mix of Supreme commander macro and scale with SC2 level of micro, but that game has not been made. RTS as a genre just doesn't seem to have room to grow, they also take a shit ton of world building to make interesting, SC had, emphasis on had, a great world. Until sc2 fucking shit on everything | ||

Until sc2 fucking shit on everything I totally agree. The core audience seems super fixated on what they consider core features to an RTS. It must be hard to innovate when a core fan base so set on what they consider an RTS. Personally, I love the scale of Supreme Commander and experimental units, but base building is so cumbersome and the unit micro is complete junk. I also love SC2, but the macro and stressful nature of the game. The Company of Heroes/Dawn of War victory point system where you captured and held parts of the map got me into those games. But the unit controls and balance of vehicles was fucking garbage. | ||

At this point, you need people who are willing to build their own game from the ground up and to toy around with it until it's a game unto itself, instead of trying to modify existing franchises that they know nothing about. | ||

Mine is Arcturus + Show Spoiler + I still don't have a good idea of what separates avant-garde/progressive/experimental. It feels like everyone has their own definition, so I'll just say screw it and post some music. Favourite's probably got to be Between the Buried and Me: + Show Spoiler [Polka breakdowns await you] + Dan Brigg's spin-off Trioscapes might just be considered Jazz, and not Metal? I don't know. + Show Spoiler [Awww yeahhhh] + I'm also a fan of 90's/early 00's jazzy metal, so stuff like Cynic, Atheist, Spiral Architect + Show Spoiler [Cynic] + Old: Newer: + Show Spoiler [Atheist] + + Show Spoiler [Spiral Architect] + SikTh is really cool too. + Show Spoiler [Intro's really quiet, it get…] + Lastly, I've started listening to Maudlin of the Well recently. + Show Spoiler [Only about half their songs are heavy] + 1: 2: | ||

Not sure who this was directed at, but to be fair, you weren't really specific with what you wanted.  'Avant-garde' pretty much covers the gamut of everything from King Crimson to stuff like Behold... The Arctopus. Leprous are good too, I only really found them recently when talking to some people about Haken. + Show Spoiler [Haken] + 1. 2. | ||
