This was supposed to revive RTS. What went wrong?

Every new RTS looks worse than 20 year old games

I played two missions and the pathing is bad and visually it's a mess where all the units are indistinct and grey.

They copied the basic premise and style of command and conquer to closely and you can tell there is zero edge the moment the female officer isn't dressed like a whore.

It just has nothing that hasn't been done a lot better before

>>712941398 (OP)
Population cap
Braindead AI
Shitty pathfinding
No waypointing
It's still sort of fun though if you're fixing for more C&C

nobody outside the US liked Command & Conquer.
Pick better RTS games to copy

2nd worlders worship Generals though.

Its actually a good game. The problem is that C&C autism is a subset that's less "familiar" to RTS vs the AoE / Starcraft autism. There are some actual problems
>Not enough campy sexiness. Come on now, yes there are girls in giant gas masks but you don't have a Natasha sniper unit or a Yuriko Omega or whatever the fuck else. Trying to take itself too serious is kind of an issue
>We can't play as 3rd faction yet. This will be resolved in time.
>Lacks Co-op at launch. Even Stormgate got the Co-op mode from Starcraft 2 going. They could at least bring this back as it gives a ton of content for PvE play.
>Questionable esports epeen bullshit, which means nobody is going to stick around except for the APM autists who drive away all others, when it comes to online play. They need the co-op and other content for play besides just competitive ladder shitt.
Its not a bad game at all, its even a pretty decent one and could be even better with more support.

Nothing will ever revive RTS. Much like "ImSim" the genre is forever banished to the limbo were sometimes a half decent game comes out and somewhat succeed at aping the classics and some other times a craven publisher defiles the corpse of a venerated series.
Tempest Rising is alright. Its counterfeiting of C&C is so brazen that I almost respect it but it's not pushing the genre in any direction because it's perfectly happy playing with itself while fondling a headshot of Joe Kucan and it knows its audience isn't asking for much more.
There's no reviving RTS, or ImSim for that matter, because it's a transitional and ill-defined genre that existed at a crossroad between different genres and therefore different audiences that have now found their definitive dwelling places and have no reason to come back. So you should enjoy Tempest Rising for what it is: a shameless bait thrown at grown men who try to recapture the lost joy of playing Red Alert 2 on their parents' computer decades ago.

revival of what? rts of old were singleplayer games

coop and multiplayer shouldnt even be added in 1.0 but instead a year from release

i dont want another command and conquer game. i dont like command and conquer.

Nothing. It is a solid 6/10 game

>>712945425

>>712945574
>anything that isn't 10/10 is dogshit
The absolute state of subhuman mongoloids.

Answer the question. Why did you hate it

>>712945781
>call the game solid
>hurr durr you hate it
Are you being dense on purpose or are you actually braindamaged?

>>712945318

Stop samefagging, you're pathetic.

>>712946573
this is the normal response to a faggot anon

RTS is too difficult for normies, it only appeals to autists, and autists are impossible to satisfy.

>>712947327
Eh, I don't think that's the case. Its just that they keep developing these games primarily for esports fags who think Korean Brood War in 1998 was the pinnacle of RTS. Even SC2 spent more time on battle passes and gookclick ladder shit than it did on single player content, co-op, or custom games (that they wanted to monetize, stupidly). RTS were played by a different audience back in the day and some would play them single player campaign style or the rare coop, but the only thing to do otherwise at that point was competitive online so those fags basiclaly became the bellwether for the entire genre. Even worse when all the
>ESPORTS IN THE WEST JUSTINTV / TWITCH
faggotry sprouted making these devs think they had to get the competitive fags as the primary audience when the people who were trying to optimize their APM on a 2Rax strat were a tiny, tiny percentage of players. If the devs spend more time on things that players like even if they have no interest in competitive ladder bullshit, ranked matches or that kind of skirmish play against other people.. they can succeed if they do everything else well.

Honestly, I'd recommend pic related if it's AI wasn't dogshit.

>>712947327
And the majority of Classic RTS autists are too buried underneath the MOBAs that stole them away

>>712941398 (OP)
People still don't get that modern PC gamers are all consolefags in denial, they'll never go back to the old genres that defined the platform.

>>712941398 (OP)
it's just a niche genre

>>712941398 (OP)
no it wasn't, it was always going to be a b-tier niche RTS for the fans of the genre

>>712942905
Yeah mechanically I enjoyed it, but the factions feel derivative and bland, setting is bland, plot is bland. Fairly fun to play but genuinely does feel soulless.

>>712945657
Decimal ratings are retarded. Use a 5 star system.
>1 star = very unfavorable
>2 stars = unfavorable
>3 stars = neither favorable or unfavorable
>4 stars = favorable
>5 stars = very favorable
Much better.

>>712946573
>you're pathetic.
Subhuman mongoloid, please

Burger moment

>>712945574
>rate a game you enjoyed honestly
>some nigger comes along just to nig
and thats why they call you guys niggers.
