If you enjoy playing games old and new, exploring what the future of the genre might look like or perhaps you love following the competitive scene and know that FlaSh is the greatest gamer of all time - then this channel will be for you.
these videos always meh me. Like man command and conquer was great all the way through to Kane's Wrath, RA3 was ok, but they were all great games, so I don't like how you slight the other titles. Starcraft 2 was great. The competitive scene was great, but since legacy of the void. MEH, it's just like outlived its welcome, but for like 7 years it was phenomenal. Also no Age of Empires is a serious miss in my opinion. That shit is the goat. In terms of competitive and casual play, still supported to this day with Redbull being involved and all this fun fan tourneys and superb balance.
Well I'm sorry you found it meh, but most could see the cracks appearing with each subsequent C&C game after Westwood got fully engulfed. The live action videos became more and more big-budget but the gameplay stagnated.
I hate RTS games. I'm too angry and too impatient for micro awkward control crap. I just wanna either shoot something. Play hide, seek and kill. Goon a platform adventure. Or simply, rock up and punch on.
Red Alert is the best video game ever made. Simple but addicting gameplay, memorable cut scenes and awesome soundtrack. I think Hell March is the most popular video game track of all times. On top of that, it teaches you European geography. Starcraft was not bad, but it was too complicated and too sci-fi for my taste.
I remember playing command and conquer for the first time sometime around 2010Tiberium wars to be specific, in my neighbours computer. I was 9. Since then i went from being addicted to rts to completely ignoring any other tittles once i found out about real time strategy games like hearts of iron and turn based like total war rome. Rome 1 was my all time favourite that pretty much sealed it for me what game genres i would play for the rest of my life. Nowadays the total war saga as gone downhill, paradox stole the show i guess, stellaris and victoria are just amazing, victoria with its amazing economic simulator steals whole days from me. Now im waiting for guilded destinys… lets see if they are a better victoria 3 without all of that wuss crap about political ideologies and genocides,
one of the coolest things about Warcraft/Starcraft was that it came with a map editor that you could make your own campaigns with. With Red Alert you'd have to use a 3rd party app to make your own campaigns
Believing mainstream critics like IGN is like believing Kamala has an IQ higher than a fish. Not worried about that. The game looks crisp. Mechanics work really well but the game really is just barebones. They knew they wanted to milk people for DLCs so they probably gonna just follow Paradox's gaming model like they managed Stellaris. The game has HUGE potential but only in time.
1. Red alert ruined my childhood... RIP MPlayer... 2. People still play Red Alert, even the old version (not the re-release) and are very competitive. 3. Thank you for making this video and featuring RA first... the "Q" mechanic changed my life sigh...
and funny enough the rumor is that the Q mechanic was implemented by accident... tanks Queuing up a command WHILE MOVING meant they would dodge 70% of incoming tank fire.... now you have a STRATEGY GAME. The ladder of RA 1 ruined my child hood I became instantly addicted.
I'm actually looking at this right now for a new video! The mx518 and Intellimouse 3.0 were the turning point for me. Don't forget to clean your mouse ball before the big LAN tournament ;)
Dune, Warcraft 1,2,3/ starcraft1,2 , C&C TS Generals / Red Alert1,2 , Cossacks, Supreme Commander, Homeworld pop to mind, i forget some others, but there you have a nice list of good "old" RTS Games ^^
Between autumn 98 and spring 2000 I went through Starcraft and Broodwar, Tiberian Sun, Age of Empires 2, and Settlers 3, among other non-RTS games. It was a real gaming golden age for me. StarCraft in particular is still my favourite game. Shout out to Settlers though. Not a hairy-chested RTS, but seeing the complex supply chains at work were satisfying - you could sit and watch the fisherman and know if the caught a fish it would feed the miner who'd dig the iron to make the steel to make the sword to arm the knight to attack the enemy castle.
I remember playing Total Annihilation when it was released and was blown away. Even today it still looks better than other RTS games. And of course StarCraft Brood War is still the GOAT, so much that even SC2 cannot match it.
Have you tried the game yet? If so, what's your favorite unit? I'm not proud to admit I've been spamming Marksmen (ranged sniper type units) and I love trying to get them to high levels. Definitely not a consistent or competitive way to play but it's fun.
They are great indeed, but campaigns are written in a way that suggests different teams were doing them. So there is a Master writing of Ep1 and Ep2 and very dumb of Ep3 and Ep5. Then same happened with SC2, where WoL had was mostly well written, but HoTS was utter garbage and LotV being good only compared to HotS - but still illogical. Still balance was great. Not perfect (like ignoring balansing of Scouts), but very good. For me only backside is that SC and WC are part RTS and part arcade/agility games. That's why in my opinion Dawn of War is better RTS, as you command squads, not single units, and even them have some command "lag".
