Name a worse strategy developer
>>1147939Easy.Your favorite RTS developer.
>>1147939Hey man, Dawn of War had rough edges but at its core it was a great game. Still a favorite of mine.
>>1147939Blizzard.
>>1147939Paradoxno contest>>1147968>Blizzard>strategyTime to let go...
>>1147973Paradox hasn't made a good game since 2012, but even its bad games are topping steam charts.Relic hasn't made a good game since 2011 and everything they've put out since then is a flop.
>>1147973Blizzard switching from being King of RTS to She-thing of Zoomie Gaming counts as being a bad RTS dev.>>1147983CoH2 came out in 2013.Pretending that it was a flop or bad game is bad for your psyche.
>>1147951anon, that was eighteen years ago...
>>1147990Well here's something else that came out in 2013>but muh all-time peakThat was in 2019 during the free giveaway. And it obviously managed to keep none of those people.As for the quality, it's no DoW3 but that's not a high bar by any means.
>>1147939>the right people >at the right time >in the right placeA lot of thing must things must align for single good game and even then it never lasts. The tragedy of game development and video game industry.
>>1148000>but muh map painter!what is this false equivalence?Next you will post CoD stats.
>>1148000>comparing quality with pop numbers>competitive RTS vs casual map painterLet's not pretend those games have the same audienceRTS in general is on decline and even Starcraft feels it
>>1148064>competitive RTSWhich game are you talking about?
>>1148069No no no noI'm not going down "what's competitive RTS" rabbit holeThe point is not comparing games with popularity since then you turn RTS into Fortnite
>>1148073its alright anon, the rest of us know you're right
>>1148000don't care dude, never played it, but it objectively wasn't a flop
>>1148000I think a lot of people found CoH 2 very enjoyable but didn't stick for a long time because A LOT of stuff like fun gimmick units is hidden behind commanders you either have to grind for impossible amounts of time or buy for outrageous prices.
>>1147951Yeah Dawn of War 1.DoW 2 was decent for a real time tactics game but it was no RTS and no real sequel to DoW1.DoW 3 was a raging trashfire.
>>1148073A competitve RTS is the one that has a competitive scene. What was the prize pool for the latest CoH2 tourney this year? You can't just call things "competitve" if there's no actual competition with money on the line.
Whoever made Iron Harvest, what a shit fucking game
>>1148320Honestly the commander system is the biggest con for me trying to play CoH 2. I really wish they had stuck with the CoH 1 doctrines.
>>1148556Generally speaking, bad mechanics etc.. are 100% dev fault, but ca we attribute the microtransaction thing to sega?
>>1148327Mario and the Raving Rabbits 1 is good. IF they weren't a bunch of assholes that hated fan-games I imagine they'd also support stuff like Hyrule Kingdoms. But as it stands yea they made one offcial RTS and would shut-down anyone trying to make their own with their characters so that's pretty bad.
>ruined DoW>ruined AoE>is going to ruin CoHThey truly are the worst
Whoever made Tiberian Twilight.
Blizzard
>>1151130The people working there are nice though, I live in the same building as one and they always give me chocolate and cooks me food.
>>1151133EA, they basically ruined c&c.
>>1147983>Product with marketing sells>This means the product is good1800+222 and this faggot still doesn't grasp how ads work.
>>1151245While that is nice, nice people aren't neccesarily skilled or experienced enough to make good games.
