[quote name="Senor Barborito"][quote name="FoK"]Sacrifice is the scissors-paper-rockinest game of all time, but that doesn't mean it doesn't kick boulder-throwing, magma-spewing ass.[/quote] I'll say it again for him more slowly: rock/paper/scissors turns it into a clickfest where you just respond to whatever your enemy is throwing at you with the correct rock, paper, and/scissor. There's no tactics involved it's just a huge clicky-clicky-Korean-tricky fucking clickfest. BUILD BUILD BUILD BUILD OK GO ATTACK THE CENTER. Over and over again on and on. TANK RUSH! ANTI-TANK CLICKING! ANTI-ANTI-TANK CLICKING! TANK RUSH! IT NEVER FUCKING STOPS AND THERE IS NO STRATEGY LEFT IN A GENRE WHOSE NAME ENDS IN 'STRATEGY' What the FUCK is wrong with this picture, Forrest? Total Annihilation had actual strategy. Total War has, due to elevation and morale in the battles, a small measure of strategy. C&C 1 HAD STRATEGY - the bases were powerful enough to take nearly anything when properly setup and the trick was to use one of a dozen different gambits to sneak through or break down the defenses. Mass tank rush? Engineers in an APC? Tank rush the SAMS and chopper in the engies? The possibilities were AWESOME and you time to think it out, and it wasn't terribly rock-paper-scissors. There was no cure whatsoever for the mammoth tank. Myth had tons of strategy thanks to the dwarves. There is a serious fucking mental illness either in developers or in gamers that all they really want & make is clicky-clicky-Korean-tricky. Or Progres^H^H^H^H Everquest. Somewhere something huge went wrong and it needs to be fixed. GTA3? Part of the cure for this fucking bullshit narrative-on-rails FPS 'gaming' we have today. Morrowind? Same. Fuck publishers, fuck developers, and FUCK YOU ALL, GAMERS for buying into this pandering bullshit that's flying off the fucking shelves these days. I swear to God I will kill you all. --SB[/quote]
