Mooo! Milk, me until I'm dry!

I liked the game and all ,but there is only so much you can do with the things they have added. And most of it is sub par addons.

Fuck him, and their development team. How about fixing the fucking Keybinds that are still fucked up and not working properly? Wouldn't that be something!!

Absolutely amazing game, and the Legends mode is an added bonus. I spent a ton of time with this game, and couldn't recommend it more.

Hoe exactly does the Legends work? How long is that Coop Campaign? I I guess, this is not the full SP campaign that's coop?

Several of the devs that made the C&C games left to make their own weird-ass voxelly RTS games. 8-bit Armies and now 9-bit Armies. I think RogueSix nailed it; it'll probably be a remaster of the next games in the C&C series.

Personally, I just want Red Alert 3 redone with proper network support. Let me just...host a damn game, so I can play co-op with a friend through the absurd campaign.

9 Bit Armies is actually pretty good. feels very much like the older CnC games. Cant beat the price either.

Cool, though no gameplay shown.

Why is the human with the AR fielding a rifle without any kind of sights? Not even irons. Bore sighting is the least accurate way of targeting something. With resources being scarce and Terminators being tough as Hell, one would think you would want to make every shot count. Also, why is the Terminator rocking an AR? If this is post Judgement Day, shouldn't it be rocking the Westinghouse R95 first gen plasma rifle?

Its already bene confirmed by the devs that this takes place in 2009 shortly after Doomsday. so, yeah. No plasma Weapons yet. still in the early days after the end came. I'm hoping this does well so it can be expanded more into the future timeline when it really gets harder for the resistance.

I wish I had the passion for RTS like in my teen days. I was obsessed with C&C Red Alert 2/Yuri's Revenge and ultimately spent my last great RTS days with Warcraft 3. I've tried these indie ones, but I can't get into them the same way. At least not for multiplayer.

Same! As i used to LOVE RTS games in my youth, C&C, Warcraft, AOE, Starcraft, TA, Z....

But these days i just play a few missions or skirmishes and i'm pretty much done. Hell, even the new AOE i played during a free weekend and was done within a day.

I'm not even sure why i can't get into them anymore , but glad they are still around!

Have you guys seen the latest on Age of Mythology?

That is a game I want to play. Loved the original game and all the gods you could play as.

The new retold version looks nice.

I love RTS games too. I've been playing this one a little and its not that bad, feels alot like the old days. Since it is being made by the same team that made the old CnC games. These are the same devs from Westwood.

Another game if you don't have it that I absolutely love is Act of Aggression. Play the Reboot Edition. It has only Oil as a resource, where as the original version that no one liked had you mining Rare Earth, Aluminum and had limited amounts of that and Oil that caused the game to stall out badly. This is a really good game, check it out.

To play the reboot edition, its a game type that you launch and choose at the start.

The thing with RTS games is I don't have the patience anymore to learn the units. To learn what each one does, what counters what exactly. That was all a blast to learn during my RA2/Yuri's Revenge days and eventually to Warcraft 3. During those years, I dabbled in almost all RTS games that were out or coming out. I just couldn't get into them the same. They lacked the polish of the RA2/YR and WC3 and in WC3 case, balance perfection. Granted, none of them are perfectly balanced at launch and take many patches. Heck, years of patches, though that is usually what makes Blizzard RTS games (Warcraft, Starcraft) stand the test of time. They go through so many balance patches until it feels perfect.

Nowadays, I stick to mostly single players that are anything but RTS, with the occasional Counter-Strike 2 match. I've dabbled into some newer RTS games including indie ones, but they just don't hold my attention the way they used to.


Understood, but if the game goes on a good sale for 5 dollars, which it has. You might want ot reconsider it and give it a try. the US army is really good. but if you dontthen thats cool.

I'll have to give this a try again. I loved the first game. DL2 was kind of meh for me, mainly because I didn't like the car mechanics. I gave up after the first few missions.

Car mechanic's? I played this game start to finish, and I don't ever recall any cars you could drive in the game. You sure your not confusing DL1 addon?

Helldivers devs can go and fuck themselves. They still refuse to fix the keybinds and still are locking down Remapping tools.

Looks interesting but reviews are saying it's more like alpha than beta atm. Even if it wasn't, online only for a PVE crafting game? Hard pass.

To be fair, it does have Coop. but this game has to many harsh survival elements in it.

Played the beta like 6 months ago. The thing that really kills this game for me and a few of my friends was the oh, by the way, your tired go back and rest. Yeah, screw that shit, it became a big annoyance really fast.

I don't mind some elements of survival, but devs seem to think that playing a survival game means struggle all the time playing it.

I play games to enjoy them, but when a game becomes a lot of work, then its dead and I move on.

And to add the icing on the cake, the devs flat out refuse to allow anyone to host their own dedicated servers. That to us was a big Red Flag.

I can’t believe that they think this is a $60 game 🤣

Um, no! Try again, they are going for 70. the last I heard. and that was not going over well.

Also, from a Video we saw, and this was a major concern and big backlash UBI took over Boarding a ship. I saw a video when they boarded it and it went straight to looting the chest. If that's their idea of fun with no combat or melee mechanics in boarding a ship. Good luck with that. This game wont last a month.

Played this at E3 many moons ago, and it was awful! I'm honestly shocked this game didn't get canceled.

Screw these Devs, they went and pulled a shady backstabbing move on the community. They Banned any and all Key Remapping apps. Auto Hot Key that I was using becasue their lousy lacking of programming skills. You cant remap keys on the right side of the keyboard. So AHK was perfect at fixing their lame crappy game.

Now they screwed everyone, its such a bullshit move!

Hopefully the devs do come type of compensation for us. I've had all those issue. it sucks when your trying to upgrade and cant.

The best and only solution is for them to remove this crappy shit-fested DRM. I honestly couldn't believe it when the devs announced this a week ago that they found this DRM was the only good solution. Its good for nothing and is not needed for a PVE game.
