@skullpony Aaaaaaaaand back from SC2
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 16:25:24 UTC from web-
@richardedbrony Don't know that.

@skullpony really? it's only the biggest E-Sport right now.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 16:27:04 UTC from web-
@richardedbrony Still don't know.

@richardedbrony Oh that. Meh.

@skullpony SC2 is too underappreciated among gamers sometimes because it's an RTS. It's one of the best games available in my opinion because it takes real strategy and micro to play it unlike most games where it's point and shoot with 8yr olds

@richardedbrony You can't exactly compare an FPS to an RTS. Obviously, the strategy game will be more strategic than a reflex based shooter title.

@ceruleanspark There are some great hybrids, like Nuclear Dawn, though.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 16:38:40 UTC from web -
@ceruleanspark What about that game called Nuclear Dawn, that is a FPS and a RTS.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 16:38:54 UTC from web -
@ceruleanspark I know I can't compare the two. But I feel there is much more to gaming then to run around shooting things. most FPS games are so alike these days with only a couple of FPS where it's fun like TF2

@richardedbrony What's funny is you'd probably write off Halo, COD and Battlefield as being "the same thing" despite each game requiring a distinctly different playstyle and approach.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 16:43:43 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark I write them off just for being bad games.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 16:44:13 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel For someone so obsessed with semantics, you seem to have confused "I don't like them" with "they are bad"
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 16:45:23 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark I could explain to you why they are bad, but that would take more time and effort than they deserve from me.

@toksyuryel I don't know about the last ones, but the first Halo and Battlefield 1942 were great games.

@ceruleanspark Halo is futuristic combat with crazy weapons and MW is mordern combat with modern weapons. different play styles yes but both will have 8yr olds tea bagging you.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 16:49:30 UTC from web-
@richardedbrony Only if you play with said 8-year-olds. If you play with *gasp* people you know (or at least, know aren't idiots), I would imagine you wouldn't get the same problem.

@bitshift a lot less 8-yr olds or so in RTS games cause like I said it takes strategy and good micro management and control to play them. that is why I love playing them more than FPS games
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 16:52:54 UTC from web -
@bitshift Hey if you get stuck in a game with all 8 year old kids, that is good for you. 99% they will suck and you can just kill them.

@richardedbrony The actual pacing and structure of play is radically different. Halo's play, despite the PC gaming segment of the markets desperate protests to the contrary, is strongly derived from the fast and furious playstyle of old school PC FPS's, wheras MW tends to reward a more cautious playstyle and focuses more heavily on your characters abilities and loadout than your raw skill. BF3 is different again, in that its game modes don't actually reward you directly for killing enemies, and instead promote the completion of objectives. You can score highly in BF3 without actually firing a gun.

@ceruleanspark I know that the playstyles are different from FPS from FPS. I just perfer RTS over all of them. I'll still play FPS from time to time as well as MMORPG's but what I don't like about FPS is the arrogant players that mock you when you die.

@richardedbrony I've played all three titles extensively in open matches and have only had to deal with children, teabagging or homophobic abuse a handful of times.

@richardedbrony I hate all RTS games.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 16:38:27 UTC from web-
@skullpony and why is that?
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 16:38:57 UTC from web-
@richardedbrony They are so long and boring. I could play them with one hand. That's sad.

@skullpony Even Warzone2100?
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 16:40:03 UTC from web-
@toksyuryel If it's an RTS, I will hate it.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 16:40:24 UTC from web-
@skullpony Oh, you're hugmaster. Nevermind, not even gonna bother.
Saturday, 04-Aug-12 16:41:11 UTC from web -

Saturday, 04-Aug-12 16:42:44 UTC from web-
@richardedbrony No, I played one a long time ago. Wanted to burn it.

@richardedbrony Try Men of War: Red Tide. Strategy game with a micro-management feature that turns it into a one soldier/vehicle action game.
