I just think you're waaaaay too negative. Constantly trashing Relic at every opportunity, instead of having a more pragmatic view.
I trash Relic for the completely unavoidably obvious errors they make. I cant wrap my head around how they are this dumb.
Right now there are a bunch of issues/bugs with game play like no blob control mechanic, units not doing the right thing, tell a vehicle to do anything besides focusing will cause it to retarget some random unit even after you told it to target a specific unit.
These are all bugs in code that are very complicated to find/test. I will never complain about these types of issues.
But the ridiculous stuff like team colors? How does anyone screw that up? It is literally one variable.
A more recent example, I noticed the minimap was missing the manpower point icon a couple days back. The new patch fixed it. But the icon looks nothing like the one in the normal view minimap. How do you screw this up??? How.... I beg someone to explain to me how this is possible. I could go grab a 7 year old out of any classroom and have them fix this in 5 minutes. But Relic cant do it???
WTF ARE THEY DOING THERE??? WHAT??? I am all ears.
You could even rant on steam but then qualify the complaints with a remark about how great CoH is at its core.
I agree. In my review I said it is unfinished but will be a great game in about a year.
I pray for you guys its better in a couple of days so the player base does not erode any further.
MORE TRASHING AS AN EXAMPLE
Watching streamers is a big part of my Coh3 life. Relic assured us they will make Coh3 great for streamers, they are adding stuff.
- Instead they hide the kill counts for units.
- Screw up the final stats screen.
- Screw up the colors.
- Dont show the names of the players when their units are selected.
- Point colors look like shit and they disappear in 720 and lower streams.
- Screw up the specular lighting so everything is oatmeal mush especially on low bandwidth streams.
- No CELO style overlay.
No to mention the obvious stuff like replays/spectate/etc. But I can forgive those, they are very complicated and should be left off to polish game play more like they did. Why waste a bunch of time when the game is probably gonna DOW3 a month after release.
So what exactly did they do for stream viewers? Oh that's right, nothing as usual.
Have they never watched a single stream? Do they not see every Coh2 streamer using some form of CELO?

Read and live this Relic.
