So What Are YOU Playing II: Electric Boogaloo

[Gredival]

With Raynor and Kerrigan they had characters that fit the new melodrama storyline in WoL and HotS. They didn't have a similar anchor for LotV storyline so they just threw Artanis into the middle of wrapping up the Duran experimenting with creating hybrid subplot.

I have never played Starcraft, a fact that beleaguered me for many years since my gaming handle has always been Zealot.

The genre barely even exists anymore. A shame cause I really liked the games and universe. Fuck Blizzard

RTS is in a little bit of a resurgence rn with remakes/remasters of Age of Mythology and Age of Empires 2 and Dawn of War 1 dropping + getting consistent updates. re new stuff, Age of Empires IV is p popular and getting regular DLC, Tempest Rising is a bangin new IP that is very much modern C&C (and currently $5 on the keyshop sites for them who want to take a chance), Dawn of War IV is dropping next month and hopefully reinvigorates that franchise, Ashes of the Singularity II getting a decent amount of Total Annihilation buzz.

The gameplay is fucking great tho, so whatevs

valid, these some of the best RTS missions ya boy has ever played ngl. the Nova missions really feel like repurposed Ghost missions at times wish we coulda seen what Blizzard woulda done with it.

Anybody get Beast of Reincarnation on launch? Reviews seem to be mixed

From what I've heard it's incredibly mid. Might be worth a spin at a deep discount

realized i never finished the Starcraft 2 campaigns so am blazin on through them. mechanically they're a wonder, the missions are terrific, the core gameplay is peak, and the strategic layer rules. while not a storytelling masterclass at least Tychus and Raynor and Kerrigan and Mengsk were engaging characters to follow through the first 2 campaigns but the Protoss story is SOOOOOOOO BADDDDD lmao there is 10,000 hours of voice acting and it's anodyne fuckin nothin not a single discernable human emotion amidst the single-human-behavioral-facet-defines-an-entire-fantasy-race trope (noble nobility of nobleness) + framus intersects with the ramistan approximately at the paternostra sci-fi gobbley gook

regardless it's a damn fine single-player RTS shame Blizzard abandoned the genre a decade ago

Yeah, never been a die hard RTS fan but Starcraft II is a masterpiece and aged incredibly well. Am tempted for Age of Empires IV but console controls/UI are putting me off a bit.

Playing Borderlands 4 on PS5. Going to have to turn off adaptive triggers because this is the first game on the console that has hurt my hands to play. The game runs fine until a 5 hour session where the menu and item pickups begin to lag. There is about a 1-2 second delay from pressing a button to the action happening. Boss battles also suck. Almost every strategy is shoot while moving in a circle.
