You really shouldn't compare CoH3 and AoE4 because the subject cant be even more different then it is.

AoE4 failure (if it is indeed so) honestly has nothing to do with either Relic\Sega, objectively. AoE in general is an old school RTS game, with insane amount of content, insane fanbase and gameplay being perfected though years.

It was a bold move to even try to create AoE4, because is no way it was even possible to create something which will please fans of old AoE games, let alone have more content\be more appealing then older games.

The same way we never see Warcraft 4 (besides the fact that Blizzard is a shitfest) they understand that unless you create something which is significantly better then its predecessor, has all the content + more, there is no way in a world people will drop their old RTS in favour of a new one.


As for CoH2\DoW3 Relic pushes their ideas, trying to either base their decisions by sheet papers created by some generic game designers and managers. And it was clear, even if we look at how they balanced their game openly mocking the community and people, by saying that "we think its not a problem". And the manifestation of this approach was DoW3, which wasnt liked by either DoW1\DoW2 fans.

Point is being: Dont invent a bicycle with RTS, if you want it to be successful look at your player base, add more content and improvements of working foundation without destroying it. Not questionable changes, like CoH2 did, but improvements.

So far, I honestly don't give a damn if Relic gonna sell us commanders\skins again. If game is generally good, if content is balanced and a new one, there is objectively nothing wrong with it. And as for game itself, who cares if relic is a corporation which just wants out money. They fucked up with DoW3 and now, their idea is to please the fans by not inventing the bicycle again, which is good, because they have less space for generic retarded game-designers to fuck up series a lot of people like.

At least so far we didnt saw "unit replacement", "bulletins" and other crap for potential monetisation, so unless relic do a gut-punch on release with something they didnt announce, it will be inf\vehicle skins and commanders ones again, which is completely fine.

Even CoH2 monetisation in its essence is completely fine. Sure we have a huge amount of commanders you pretty much have to buy, if you are newcomer, but come on. Even if we bring game like PayDay2, if someone played it from the start, and bought DLC when they came out, then its fine throwing 5-10$ every couple of months for the game you spent a lot of time in. Its infair to judge coh2 monetisation, since you have almost 8 years of DLC content, sure its might be a lot to buy.

COH3 and AOE4 are exactly the same thing: consumer goods. As such everything my good boy above says is 100% true.

AOE4 made a terrific launch and thus it warranted the decision to keep the game and company afloat for a little while, at least till COH3 rolls out.

The main bad thing about lelic in particular and RTS games in general is the fact that they need to be able to keep the players engaged even while the games themselves may be hard to play or hard to master or maybe both. That's why a good MM system is in order.

I don't really know the state of AOE4 MM, but I can promise you one thing: if I give a game 10 hours of my ever ending life and get exactly 0 victories back, 0 play value and 0 items I will not play it again. You can call me a normie for not be "picky" enough, but when a market literally has 15000 titles at any given time your normie opinion ceases to matter.

Lelic should make a good COH game. att this point i will not buy it, since from what i have seen they are catering to the shady chinese software sweatshop vibe which i honestly hate with all my passion. However, if I see that the MP aspect is decent enough to garner good MM, I will think about it twice.

Sniper crit works, but its completely pointless to put JLI in any kind of car they can shoot from.

Unlike other units, JLI g43 accuracy getting worst the closer target is. So even by putting them into vehicle, you are not winning much besides additional DPS from vehicle MG and surviviability.

If you want to use clown car chasing to retreat wipe, pretty much any other squad would do better.

On the other hand, if you want to do some cancer, play as double USF with a teammate, ask him to pick mech and donate jeep to you. Then put pathfinders into it

No that's not true.

If enemy is less than 70% hp the sniper crit kills from every distance all the time (which is the only thing I care about) I tested it today with cheatmod. I would post screens but am too lazy.

Why brag about doing edgy racist remarks in a video game though?

t.

I finally got my ban lifted yesterday and I played for like 6 hours even though it's exam season for me. Whatever, I managed to pick and repair an abadonded ScoutCar by a noob sov I was coming up against and thought for whatever reason to put upgraded JLI in it.

Turns out, it critsniped models on the move JUST like the way old SniperClowCar did.

Is this top OKW gameplay or nah?

edit: do you know any vehicle that OKW has that allows people to fire from it? could the OST Halftruck work? I thinnk yes the doctrine one allows people to fire from it (the one from mech assault or some shit).

For me,

• Raid section.
  
• Guards.
  
• Obers.
  
• Winter JLI.
  
• Winter Volks.
