Ngl, but that trailer from Frost Giant kinda felt underwhelming for me.
Also didn't help that I checked out their game's storefront page on Steam, only to find the tags "PVP/F2P/Esports" included with others. I've gottan out of PVP gaming for years now, and I'm really not a huge fan of PVP games crushing other modes, or being the main focus, only for that mode to die out (because PVP based games always come with a limited lifespan) and the lacklusture other mades having suffered because of PVP focus.
Not a big fan of F2P either, and I know folks like Total Biscuit lauded the idea and eventual reality of SC II going F2P, I disliked it heavily, because I'd already bought the game before, 3 expansions, and now the game is riddled with dangled carrots in the form of skins, nova ops and co-op commanders, and announcer packs, all of which put an asking price combined just over £200, which imo is insane.
I just want a fully fledged RTS game where I pay once and it's mine, not a game that has content ripped for it to be sold later on or "added" (the usual defence for F2P or cutting room floor content), and costs trying to rival train simulator.
Really hope I'm wrong, but I just see F2P as a massive thorn in the side of getting good content. I've played HotS for years now and it started as a F2P game, but my god was the RNG lootbox shit annoying, but since that's had to be toned down due to EA's lootbox bs, the game has gotten grindier for obtaining shards to get skins without paying money to get said skins (seriously, it's either got to be a skinners box grind fest or you pay for the skins, and that's what I loathe about F2P, it just embeds those two paths into a game's DNA, there is no 3rd and correct path).
I also just want a PVE based RTS, because PVP is limited, mostly preditable, and I just want to see honest to god good AI in an RTS, instead of one that has fdull map awareness and cheats up the wazoo, and PVP doesn't supply that, since you're just met with the typical:
Cheese builds
Meta focus
Rushing
Spamming deathballs
That's what I've seen over the yrs within that genre and it's become super boring, somewhat arrogant and half witted at times. SCII got it's esports and PVP focus due to micro management and Korea, but C&C didn't really get much if any at all during it's tenure, but that's because they put more stock into their zany stories, units and FMV's (yes SC has a campaign, but more often then not, I see ppl still talking about Pro league, players like White Ra, over kerrigan becoming a literal god at the end of SCII, I shit you not). |
