It's not dead, it's just not approachable for noobs

and for a lot of game modes, especially the LoZ and FE ones

people still play that much?

there are metas that you have to keep up with

arcade is pretty consistant, top 30 games or so get played constantly

top 30 though

well, top 30 will fill a lobby in <5 minutes

top 100 will in <15

maybe it was always top 30 though

30 sounds about right to me tbh

damn thats actually really cool if its still that populated

With Warcraft 3 reforged

they should have chased custom maps

that's what people fucking wanted

wait

why didn't they

literally

just make people buy wc3

to make custom maps

ez $$$

Here's what you do

you make Warcraft 3 reforged F2P

and sell skins, monetize custom maps, and sell campaign add-ons

RTS games NEED to be free at this point

or else they won't survive

yeah like what rts games have actually been released lately that have sold well

besides wc3 b/c that's literally just nostalgia

AoE remakes on Steam, not on the Microsoft store

never played aoe so I don't know too much about it

I have seen gamplay though

1 was good but dated, 2 is nostalgia bait for some reason, AoM was the best, and 3 was fine

They also just remastered Praetorians

which was another classic game

Rise of Nations got a remaster

all remasters eh?

sounds like nostalgia

I mean, Northgard was fine enough

it was an early access game for a while

Year 0 was also fine

SpellForce 3 was interesting

isn't Age of Mythology horribly unbalanced?

Relic is going to fuck AoE4 so bad

see I like never hear of rts' though

^^

AoM kinda is unballanced

like all these games

base was mostly fine

It's hard to complain an RTS is unbalanced, that's like saying Starcraft is unbalanced because they can zerg rush you

and I know like aoe and that's it

Atlantians are... something

maybe I just don't look for them though

Not saying it's perfect, there are some worthless Gods for sure

thought Age of Empires 3 definitive has the new completely broken nations

3 isn't out yet

and the way later chinaman expo was a disaster

^

maybe its 3 HD or something

AoE2 definitive has the new OP nations

whatever has the nation that gets two town centers early

oh 2

that are being nerfed

that combined with the broken unit that I don't remember why its broken

AoE2 was never perfectly balanced, but all the new addons havent helped

I don't get the appeal of playing ladder for any of these games online

same

does it let you qualify for the tournments?

I mean I also have a really hard time replaying AoE2 in general sense I played it so much as a kid

total burn out

AoE1 and 3 have way more nostalgia for me than 2

3 was good

I dont care for 1

I get that it was good for it's time

so when do we have phijkchu sc2 arcade day?

but I had 2 first

where its actually just me and spooky

Bopit, convince people to download a massive game, from a launcher they don't use, with an account many probably don't have

that right there

is SC2's problem

very true

aside from the unclear explanation of free vs paid
