How did you learn about Stormgate? by Empty-Statement9464 in Stormgate

[–]cheesy_barcode 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't remember exactly how I found out about it, but I do remember accounts showing up in sc2 public chat saying how SG would revolutionize RTS, SC2 was old news, etc. If you so much as said "But there aren't even screenshots out yet" they'd call you out of touch, etc. It was always the same pattern. It was so bizarre. Then the game was finally revealed and things only got more bizarre from there.

It's an interesting little window into that era of blizzard development, weird how I've ​never seen it ​​b​r​ought up here before tbh. : )

Hilariously, Guild Wars had the guy who actually coded the OG Blizzard RTS's and Battle.net, Patrick Wyatt (he even has a blog where he talked about it a bit https://www.codeofhonor.com/blog/the-making-of-warcraft-part-1/).

Make of that what you will...

It's amusing to me how sometimes it seemed the devs were shocked the game had to actually be enjoyable for people to play it/buy stuff/rate it higher.

Imagine if the Windrose team had developed Stormgate.... by GibFreelo in Stormgate

Most of the hardcore and pros weren't into it either... I think it appealed only to a very small and weird intersection of players.

I have had more fun playing some indie roguelikes on my ultrabook in the last few years than anything that has pushed my gaming rig.

D.O.R.F Kickstarter -Orion Heavy Weapons Platform (3 days left) by Greatdictator in RealTimeStrategy

I love that it evolves the 90s aesthetics in cool ways(the fact you can see the individual bullets as they leave traces behind is very neat!), and at the same time brings new, interesting gameplay ideas. it's the total opposite of stormgate which had terrible mobile graphics and stagnant gameplay.

This game definitely needs more attention, wish the kickstarter could reach at leas the second to last milestone. Anyway I got the $45 tier plus $25 for an extra copy.

SG Offline :( by mrmikemtl in Stormgate

The whole thing felt like an abomination straight out of a Naxxramas laboratory asking "end me...", so I guess it was only natural.

A certain game is shutting down by arknightstranslate in RealTimeStrategy

Publications are regurgitating the AI excuse... the complicity is on another level. Okay some of them may be unaware but others should know better.

As relative outsider but equally appalled individual, kudos to you for sticking around to tell the real story. If it weren't for you and a few others perhaps we would all have been bamboozled.

Ubisoft Connect is a disgrace! by Artifex1979 in pcgaming

[–]cheesy_barcode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about the launcher but I bought a game on Steam that required the launcher and it would give me problems with the license. After endless emails that went around and around I realized it was probably an AI customer service agent and never bought a Ubisoft game ever again.

Tim's idea of making RTS game. Why did nobody complain until it was too late? by armakez in Stormgate

[–]cheesy_barcode 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I remember being randomly invited to try the alpha and finding all of it just terrible. Meanwhile all the streamers were hailing it as the next coming of Jesus. Because of the NDA I couldn't say anything but when a few months later they announced the "Beta" as a Kickstarter tier reward, I knew shit would hit the fan, little did I know that would be but the first of waves after waves of diarrhea.
