Why not just play starcraft

I kindda feel like it's more close to WC3 when you consider TTK and the heightened necessity of target fire.

It's like eating dry toast when you have a freshly cooked turkey dinner waiting.

Yep, even from the second you boot the game it just has that "starcraft" feel from both the sound and presentation to it. I wanted the game to lean more towards Wc3 but it's evidently not going to do that, so just like with SC2.. I just won't be playing it.

SC2 is over 13 years old. I've long had my fill of that game. Time for a new IP and Stormgate seems to be off to a great start.

It is too much like Warcraft, not Starcraft. Leveling and camps, all these skills it is awful if you don't liked Warcraft.

Old fellas, i'm glad to play games from good people, and prefer to show my support to good people than fricking Activion-Blizzard, it's not the same anymore.

It's the SC2.5 i wanted (mostly because i like Protoss gameplay)

Man, it's quite weird. The game is basically a poor copy of StarCraft. I played 3-4 matches, and surprisingly, I'm already bored with it... Right now, I don't even feel the urge to log in and play some more.

There are only 2 races, which closely resemble Terran and Zerg. The issue is, it's a game released in 2024, yet the graphics (at least to me) are way worse than SC2. I just don't see a reason to play Stormgate instead of SC2.

The only reason would be if by chance the game picks up and starts to be played seriously, with enough people for the ladder to be relatively balanced. Otherwise, the game will simply die out because it doesn't offer anything new or different. Plus, graphically, it's even worse than SC2, which is 14 years old...

There is a third faction which is yet to be revealed. Their Kickstarter campaign was funded in 15 minutes lol. This game is going to do just fine. Besides, this is an early beta build, so there will be improvements.

4-5 replies in someone already complaining about "APM mess" please go play another genre.

It's funny cuz this game requires less apm than previous RTS titles, even Age of Empires.

The problem with StarCraft 2 and cloning it is that there is 0 innovation.. who remembers the vanilla mothership that could cast a black hole? I just bought the game for that unit, later before first expaz they remove it and replace it with a generic skill... That's what happened when a RTS is heavily influenced by eSports... By going eSports they removed the fun and When I see other game cloning sc2 is just doing the same old mistakes.

It's interesting to me. There's a big gap between 'esports' and hard-core amateurs. I think the mothership's black hole ability was perfectly fine for esports, but it was frustrating for the amatuers who play 50+ hours per month.

As an RTS player I don't want to die an old man still playing games that I have been playing since 2008

then play real time tactics games or grand strategy.

There are no more new updates to starcraft. This game will get updates monthly.

I did not know sc was dead, makes sense then

Starcraft is far from dead

Its not too much of anything, it suffers from an identity crises, taking bits from all their previous games and slapping it altogether
