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!

I enjoyed it when i played in Oct last year, but found it was quite buggy (main quests bugging out completely), and the optimization needed work (30 FPS slowdowns on a 4080 and graphical settings had ZERO impact).

It's loot filter and storage space were a breath of fresh air compared to D4 though!

And whilst i enjoyed the campaign and classes, the monolith grind at max level become a boring grind quite quickly.

Looks like a $10-15 indie game..

For reference, please find me a $10 indie game that looks like this. Because being a doubter is one thing; but that is ridiculous.

"Graphics aren't everything you noob!!! "

Agreed. But doing an isometric view is way less expensive than graphically what this game is doing. I'm not a fan of Ubisoft at all, but saying shit like this means you didn't think an iota about what you wrote.

Oh, that's alright then, they spent 11 years making a game that looks kinda good! Guess that justifies their self-proclaimed "AAAA title" and "ridiculous" price then....

So yea, i'd buy that for $15... and in a year or two, maybe i will!

p.s. there's plenty of indie games using the UE5 engine, hell, there's even free ones if you can be bothered looking... some of them even have actual combat and realist animations, instead of magical saws and auto win lootboxes

Yeah, definitely looks like it's worth $70:

So instead of understanding why your statement is insane hyperbole, you double down with it, and then decided to attempt to insult someone who correctly called you out for it?

It was clearly a hyperbolic statement, poking fun at the current state of AAA gaming. However, it seems that went unnoticed by you and others who are quick to defend subpar, overpriced games. Nicely done!

Keep up the good fight!

They can try but I think the train left the station. They did not learn a single thing from their past mistakes and assumed the Payday brand would be enough to sell their underbaked game. Even if they manage to pull a No Man's Sky here, that abysmal player count is lethal for this kind of multiplayer game.

Seems to be a lot of that going on these days *cough* Diablo *cough*

But yeah, the game just wasn't fun IMO. I played 3 missions and i was bored and ready to move on.... nothing new, average combat, terrible progression, lots of bugs, meh.

Okay, those of you who have the game. I've watched some reviews and, except for coop, I just assumed this was a solo player game. What's the multiplayer aspect? It there PvP?

If I pick it up somewhere down the road, I'd only be interested in solo.

I played in co-op with a friends. It was super easy and i didn't have a single issue. I didn't do a dedicated server, just a regular server in-game.

One person just starts a multiplayer game through the games menu, customizes the server settings (this can be changed each time you start the game - which comes in handy, as we increased XP and resource rates to avoid the late game grind), and just sends you the invite code.

And that's pretty much it. The other people join using the code and play the game co-op together without any real limitations, even the quests and xp are shared, and each player can be on completely different sides of the giant map.

They did a great job considering it only just went into early access.

There's no PVP at this stage.

I spent hundreds of hours in AOW3, less than 10 in planetfall, and almost 15 in AOW4.

In my eyes they've lost a lot of their magic and depth that made the game great, all the units, heroes, magic seem very generic and 'balanced' now, as is the gear and items you get from dungeons etc. And the removal or of actual classes was likely a big cause of the watering down in 4.

And the AI that just runs around and razes improvements is just as frustrating and anti-fun as it is in the Civ games.

So yeah, i think i'll be skipping whatever this 2 second video thingy is trying to hint at.

Hopefully that's includes more of the decisions makers, rather than the dev's.

They really missed the ball with D4, and learned NOTHING from their previous mistakes. It felt like we were playing a (lacking) Diablo clone which was plagued with issues and poor management.

So hopefully Microsoft are trying to fix what's broke.

The survival game getting axed is probably a smart move as we are in the middle of a glut of survival games similar to the battle royal glut from several years ago.
Blizzard used to define trends instead of chasing them.

In the 90's maybe, but since 2000 all they've done is copied the trending games, dumbed them down, and added a lot of polish.

eg their MMO, FPS, and MOBA.

the last few seasons of game of thrones (when they ran out of GRRM material) were so bad it should have gotten kicked off the list.

Yes, the last seasons were bad... but even at it's worst still better than 90% of the shows on that list.

Looks like they are just listing well known shows, or shows that are old or simply ran for a long time...

How about:

The Boys
Top Gear
Chuck
Dexter
HIMYM
1883
Doctor Who
Band of brothers
Chernobyl
Westworld
Prison Break
Heroes
etc.

Too modern or something?

But yay, Sex and the city, yay, Greys Anatomy and Oprah!

How the fuck did we come from being able to turn on the radio and manipulating it with ease to this bullshit we have today. Way to complicated, Touch screens were cool until someone figured how to fuck it all up.. physical buttons are better,

Even easier doing it through the steering wheels and the heads-up display.

Could never own a Tesla (and the companies copy their shitty designs), no heads-up display and your meant to look at that glare inducing tablet stuck to the center of your dash for navigation, controls and even speed? Hard Pass.

So Apple gets let off because they have their own closed ecosystem and walls everyone out, but Google gets penalized for being more open and inclusive?

I know it's not an MMO, and it's pretty broken. But is it actually the worst game release even on Steam? Like the most broken?

Most negative reviews don't mean shit to me, people love to pile on for its own sake.

Not having done any research, my gut is telling me this is probably more a symptom of overhype. If this was just another game noone had ever heard of before, would it be getting this much attention? Do you spawn and just fall through the map broken?

Dozens of videos detail how much of an asset-flip scam it is, completely lying about the kind of game and features. They went so far as to copy other games advertising word for word, shot for shot.

Asset flip, disingenuous marketing, copying other games.

I think you just described 10,000 Steam shovelware games that have never received this much attention, or forced the "devs" to shut down in 4 days.

I think the difference is a powerful hype train. Nothing angers gamers more than when those derail.

Most of the shovelware games are like $5 or less, and don't blatantly lie / false advertise their game from the get go including completely fake, but high quality marketing videos. They also don't generally take 5 years to make or include a team of volunteers, nor claim "to be an open world survival MMO and definitely not an asset flip!", then turn around a be an empty 'game' that's nothing but an asset flip.

They have nobody else to blame but themselves, and got exactly what they deserved. Hopefully this is an example to others.

False advertising = fraud. The dev's should be held accountable and by more than just gamers.
