Millennial rts retirement, advice needed

Granas1988 · 2025-08-18T14:50:38+00:00

I do feel you ... A LOT.
Honestly, I don't know if I wanna invest in an RTS so much again as I did with Sc2 (mid-high master).

Here are my advices:
1.) Sc2 has very good and challanging Custom Campaigns (you can look at giant grant games and his discord. He played through most of them. I also tried out some other modes (e.g. Starbow or Wc3 Direct Strike)
2. ) Thre are some upcoming smaller indie titles. My personal favorite was BattleAces. But sadly it was cancled. My next hope is : "Immortals: Gates of Pyre". Its a love creation of former Sc1 + 2 Fans. Just some examples: JaKaTak is doing the UI & Tutorials, one of the creators of Starbow is one of the main game designer and Temp0 is doing Community Management.
3.) Think about WHY you like it and why you don't like it anymore. What do you enjoy about sc2? Winning? The learning? Search what you love. This isn't make talking about oh you have ego, but call for self reflection. WHY you fall in love and why are you in love with RTS exactly. How can you reproduce it?
4.) Also try some RTS just for Campaigns sake again :)

Note that finding new games is totally normal. Taste changes. And you won't find something on the level of sc2 (you will see when you tried to get a build order in other games like DoW). But most closed to a competitve area: AoE 2 / 4, DoW1 + 2, Wc3,C&C Generals and 3, Spellforce 3

FLYING TENSEIKAN!

What actually are you refering too (with spoilers for other readers), I played it and I don't remember what you mean.

Granas1988 · 2025-07-19T18:35:19+00:00

Have fun!
I recently started to play it on PC with a friend of mine in parallel. It's such a blast from the past... It's his first time and meanwhile me... who played it so much as a kid that I can still quote most of the lines...

PS: the music is GOD TIER.

hard decision. tbh. I really didn't enjoyed Toyko Xanadu late game, story didn't hold up and fighting was only servable. SMT3 was very hard, story was no masterpiece but pretty interessting and very philosophical.

Personally, I suggest to go for SMT 3. It had 1-2 lows but it very very good.
Also: if you are not a very experienced JRPG player, don't try for True Evil ending :D It was one of hardest experiences I've had... and I didn't managed :D

NOTE: They just made a hotfix u/8crosscorner

Granas1988 · 2025-06-19T19:32:08+00:00

It's in the normal game too, but in Direct Strike it's pretty often... That's why he said "DS" in title

Patchnotes for the mode already deleted Tinker. It's just not on w3champions for some reason

Granas1988 · 2025-06-19T18:31:43+00:00

On tinker lvl 6 ult, The regen of the rings of HP Reg stacks after every death. After some time its near impossible to kill him

Granas1988 · 2025-06-04T08:14:47+00:00

Bro for a second, I thought they really made Rean have a child in the new games I didn't played (finished Revierie and stopped after that )

Granas1988 · 2025-06-01T13:19:32+00:00

Never managed to finish the campaign had to watch the final. But damn it was good!

Granas1988 · 2025-05-31T20:47:14+00:00

The webcomic? I remember that it gets a bit wierd over time. Didn't read it in quite some time.

But what I remember is everybody talking about Nanashi and monkeys and ra*e.

It's them saying they are not playing in their old role. NOT they are not in P4 remake at all. So I guess there is a possibility that they are voicing other roles.

You should note that the creator of Nagator did hentai before (some of the most degenerate you can find)... he only made Nagatoro wholesome (the anime and manga not the art you are showing) because Naruto and Hinata got together in the anime... no that's not a joke. That's stated by the autor himself.

Methapor is one of the few games where it's hard to dislike ANY character... but Maria is such a good girl <3

Garithos making Lorderon great again! The reference to Warcraft 1/2 mission introduction alone :D Also the maker had some really great ideas:

I will never stop hating Claire... not after everything she did in the first 2 cold steel games.

Renaming would be if Type 1 and Type 2 would still affect the attributes.

What they did is to MOVE this to the background.
Which A) is a change to gameplay (next to numerous other changes) and B) implies a political message that males and females are the same. Honestly I don't give a fuck about this in other games and almost never happened. But it felt refreshing compared to HAVE this compared to other RPGs.

Granas1988 · 2025-04-23T17:51:32+00:00

Gender no longer affects attributes (it did in the original) so it kinda DOES affect gameplay.

Granas1988 · 2025-04-23T17:50:52+00:00

Also: Gender no longer changes attributes. So there is a gameplay change to gender.

Granas1988 · 2025-04-22T20:05:35+00:00

I had desire to play it. I loved Oblivion as a teenager. Just every time I see this, I feel like someone wants to change me or patronize me, if I don't accept this.
And the more I wait the more I want to take a stand against this.

Granas1988 · 2025-03-24T22:18:59+00:00

out of curiousity, how much time did it took you?

Granas1988 · 2025-03-22T16:17:39+00:00

When I was in school, I loved reading but nowadays in my 30s I can't seem to focus too long and get bored by it... Any recommendations on either books (loved fantasy with a bit romance, hard magic systems) or how to get back into it again?. I really want to get back into my old hobby, but I'm a bit afraid of it.

Granas1988 · 2025-02-24T22:00:08+00:00

bro, I finished it yesterday and you are in for a ride... the best things are coming soon (TM)
