imo its not a very good game. on top of that they have made weird choices over the life of the game. for example when they added america and all their air units and nothing to counter them. im sure its different now but with so many better RTS games out threre why should i play this one? i will admit the visuals are fun but the gameplay is meh at best.. why are you so angry that other people dont like what you like? do you believe this behavior will help bring more people to this game? i came back to check on this game but this has put a bad taste in my mouth and i will just move on.. maybe try to be a positive, welcoming member of the community rather then a toxic one..

company of heroes, age of empire, settlers, too many rival. Btw all those game has their identity and reputation. In this era where there are 3000000+ games on steam store of all genre its hard to make a name moreover in a genre that is not so popular compared to FPS for example

great game, no game is perfect no game forces you to play, seems most dont even play they just complain

I think the game is great. I really do love story based rts games and we do not get a lot of them. I could have gone for more base building but w/e. What pissed me off was the inconsistent performance. I should be able to hit 60 fps at all times when my specs beat the recommended requirements to a pulp.

But anyway, did it sell that bad? It has nearly 10,000 reviews, that tells me it must have had quite a few purchases considering most people usually don't leave reviews.

Stay away from hard Drugs !!!

problem is see with this game is troop limits and control point mechanics . it makes players feel pigeon holed or having a strategy but cant implement it

Yeah, I am very bad at the game too. :---)

The game is actually quiet alright, however a lot of bad design choices were made. The one and most prominent coming to mind is the game not have a replay system. How on earth a rts game is made without replay support in the age we live in ? Yes the game doesnt have replays and without them the chance for streamers/youtubers to promote the game by casting them for exemple is gone.

You wanna learn a new strat that your oponent did or find a way to counter it ? Well you can´t because the devs of this game think that a replay feature is not necessary and its just beyond unreal if you ask me.

A lot of people ask for this since day one and if i remenber correctly it was said that eventually would come out until some dev said that they can´t do it because of the '' game engine '' its limited or something along does lines i dont recal correctly.

The game is bad ? No its not but the lacking of features like does just drove away the more hardcore playerbase that alot of people think its bad for the game when in reality its actually good and bring the numbers to keep the game alive.

That's... not at all what happened. the game has a lot of issues.
.Promises made to people who supported development were very, very, very late.
.The game itself started out as 60 when tbh it was worth 40.
.When they DID make it go to 40 the ppl who paid 60 got nothing. Not even a skin.
.Balance wasnt very good when it first came out.
.the story is one where you either love it or hate it.
.saxony was the only campaign that took place in the great war at all.

and there's a lot more to it too. Don't get me wrong, I agree it sucks that multiplayer is dead, and it seems unlikely we'll get a second one. And yea, the devs get too much hate.... but its also not like fans were just totally unreasonable.

On top of that slap some serious bugs and balances, lack of fixing said bugs, and as of lately - lack of communication, because copypasting the same promise of new seasons and basic texture skins isn't a communication.

gotta agree... plus the rusviet revolution, while fun was an insane letdown. Ths missions were good, but you spend the whole dlc trying to do one thing only for it to mess up, off screen, at the very very end.

regardless... I think peoples issues with the game were much more focused on the game itslef rather than what OP was suggesting

Ah yes, the Disney excuse. We didn't make a bad product or mess anything up, it was the Fans. They didn't see how awesome everything i do is.

I think its not so much the devs saying that as it is other fans

It doesn't matter how much passion went into something. Only results matter.

It's like the school system in Baltimore saying "but we put so much passion into these kids" and yet the end result is that you have dozens of schools where 0 students in those schools are proficient in reading or math according to the state standard.

So what matters: passion or results?

The reality is that this game was poorly executed. The developers took a beautifully crafted fantasy universe and turned it into something not just of poor quality, but essentially unplayable because of broken mechanics. And it's not just the details, it's the fundamental concept of what an RTS should be that was missed here.

Optimization and the American faction killed it for me
