Because Starcraft 2 came outBanjo_KongfooieAnd it's an RTS, it's not even a high end graphical powerhouse, maybe other than debating about the score it gets or its sales numbers most of us won't care... I bet most of us wouldn't even know about Starcraft if hermits never talked about it so much. They act like their games have so much influence on us that they trolled a get into oblivion for not knowing what a zerg was. I didn't know what an RTS was until I came onto these forums...

The reason that (infamous) poster was trolled was because he claimed to be a veteran Starcraft player; yet he revealed in a thread he didn't know what a Zerg was. But haven't you answered you're own question here? This is why people are talking about RTS and Starcraft atm. It seems you made this thread to whine about its influence indirectly.
And I don't think there ever will be. 1. I have not played many RTS games but the way they play, I just don't think they can work out and still play the same way. If someone ever makes them work they're probably be as different as CRPGs and standard JRPGs. 2. Consoles don't have a huge market for strategy games, we are never going have big budget super hyped RTS games like Starcraft or the Total War series.It's an obvious advantage, because no one's figured out how to do a decent RTS control scheme on a console... yet.

I meant for this to be a funny thread but ti seems I hit a few soft spots. I'm just pointing out that other than Halo fanboys for Halo Wars, us consolites will never about RTS games.
Other then Halo fanboys have we 'consolites' ever went crazy over an RTS? We are never going to be jealous over an RTS game.Darsander
[QUOTE="Darsander"]Other then Halo fanboys have we 'consolites' ever went crazy over an RTS? We are never going to be jealous over an RTS game.Danm_999Because you're ignorant of it. That's not necessarily a good thing. I have played Battle for Middle Earth and I found it boring after awhile. Are you going be like RPG fanboys and say I have to play through at least 10 critically acclaim games of the genre before I have the right to judge? It's not just RTSes I just find strategy games fun, I'm a huge action junkie.

However, YOU YOURSELF claimed you hadn't heard of the RTS genre until you came onto these forums. You only have 84 posts. I have to wonder if you know what you're talking about at all.
[QUOTE="Darsander"] 2.

The only console in the market that higher pottetioal in rts is the Wii, which apparntly they don't realize that. Who the hell would want to play an RTS with no more than 10 units on the screen at a time. If the 360 could not pull off one, the Wii sure isn't going to.

I suppose giving a coherent argument and context means you've "hit a soft spot". And of course you claim that console fanboys don't care about RTS; you've admitted you've never heard of them until you came on these forums. So you're not the most informed. I have been on these forums for years though...

that is what it says in your profile.
I blame myself.
That guy that tried to flame PC gaming made a poll about the best PC game and I said Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings and then Charizard got excited made another topic about the best RTS then Other People started to talk about RTSs and etc etc....

That's not necessarily a good thing. I'm a consolite, and I'm well aware of RTS games. Any other incorrect generalizations you'd care to share with the group?
Yeah,apparently lots of people here like Strategy games.I blame myself.

I used the pronoun "you" (notice, not "consolites) at a poster who had 84 posts and admitted to not having heard of the RTS genre before they joined these forums. I was justified in my assertion.

You wouldn't know it until you mention Age of Empires II apperently.
Other then Halo fanboys have we 'consolites' ever went crazy over an RTS? We are never going to be jealous over an RTS game.DarsanderWell...PC gamers don't care about fighters or action-adventure, but it doesn't stop console fanbouys from whining the PC platform lacks them
Well...PC gamers don't care about fighters or action-adventure, but it doesn't stop console fanbouys from whining the PC platform lacks them But we're divided into three separate factions, so we can still argue over them. :P[QUOTE="Darsander"]Other then Halo fanboys have we 'consolites' ever went crazy over an RTS?

It is you who is on a high house; 1. You assumed I was lying just because for some reason it is ridiculous to have different tastes than you. 2. You have this rude tone with your posts that almost feels like you're attacking me. 3. You called what is considered a decent to pretty fin game of the genre mediocre...
I think you should stop generalising people into what they like and what they don't like.
I'm a PC gamer, and I'm not particularly fond of RTS, mostly because I'm pretty bad at them, on the other hand I love fighting games etc. and it is a shame we don't get alot of the titles.
You personally, TC, as a console player don't like RTS games and feel the need to inform us that every other person who plays on a console feels the same way as you.
Basically, those people who exclusively play console games are not exposed to the RTS scene and for the sake of argument, you cannot make any kind of comment other than you have no opinion on the subject.
"I don't like this game because everyone is talking about it and I can't play it."
OH! And to comment on the thread title, what about HALO REACH. The number of threads about this game is astounding, if I were in your mindset then all discussion of the game should be left to the Xbox 360 forums.
So because some people don't like RTS games we shouldn't talk about them?
I don't like JRPGs and neither do many PC gamers, this is System Wars not console wars so from now on we can't talk about JRPGs, ok? No girly men allowed!
Snagal123
More like Japanese not Roleplaying Game, to be honest.:o
So can we combine all our games now if you're going count us all as one group? We are 3 factions and we can argue over who has better JRPGs. When talking about MMOs or RTSes on System Wars who are you comparing with?So because some people don't like RTS games we shouldn't talk about them?

But only one group faction has a hand in RTSes.
[QUOTE="SparkyProtocol"]SC2 came out and Shogun 2 has the best graphics evar.DarsanderShogun 2 will not look nearly that good as it did in the trailer, I'm calling it now. I have read a debate in the PC forums about how CA has fallen.
Maybe not on your e-machine, but with the power of DX11 (im sure even with Dx10 is will looj pehnonimal :o), 3 or 4 gigs of ram, and atleast a fast dual core I know it will look that good. It is common sense. This isn't console gaming where they are forced to hide their games behind smoke and mirrors due to the huge limitations in memory.

Heh, I forgot about Pikmin, My sister rented it once, I played it for about ten minutes... I didn't remember anything and when I don't remember something, it usually because I delete the memory was so harmful to me. :P And didn't the guy who made Brutal Legend made a guide how to play it properly saying if you play it like an RTS, you would fail?So because some people don't like RTS games we shouldn't talk about them?

But not one game I know ever plays and looks as cool as they do in their trailers, how can I because this one isn't lying? Also early last year my Sister got Total War 2 and let me played it for a few minutes before she found out I was on her laptop and kicked me off. I liked it so I got Total War 1 for $10 at Wal-Mart... a disk was broking and it never installed further after a certain percent! :cry:Please Log In to post.
