Same error like most RTS did which are no longer around: Fixation on the small group of esport players and the big audience which watches until it is lame. Brood War besides is still around. It is a very balanced game with mechanics that work well together. Pathfinding for example and one hit loose your whole army is not much of a problem when you just control 12 units and not all. So a mayor "bug" of this old game in truth is a feature. Age of Empires is still around too. Also not because it was made for tournaments but for casual players. The ones coming home after work and just enjoy a little match with/against friends. These are the ones which go to work and hell that's why have the money. So local multiplayer should still be a thing. And entertaining AddOn single player campaigns. Otherwise it will be just one more game which was....

The maps are any RTS' strength and weakness. The moment I see mapmakers stretching impassable terrain to discourage unit movement, "perch" areas just for Overlords to scout, it means the map is already favoring one race over the other. When maps make it so that liberators can't be used effectively, siege tanks can't fire over cliffs, lots of open spaces for easy engagement, human bias has a very heavy hand on dictating the outcome of games.

It's nice to be able to tech and see units and upgrades that can deal with someone who just masses 50 of a single unit and hopes to win with that. I've found in many, if not all of the games I've won, I end up with a unit composition of 3-4 and I continue to adapt as I see what my enemy is massing.

Stormgate feels good to play, but boring to watch. Starcraft 2 feels good to watch, but annoying to play. That's my takeaways from both games. The faster paced nature of SC2 makes high level games extremely fun to watch, especially in TvZ where you could see actions happening constantly across multiple points in the map. In Stormgate it's not unusual for fights to last for a while before you can even tell who's having the advantage, and because we don't have game winning units that can singlehandedly win a fight like Corruptors or Banelings, but that also means you don't feel as much tension during the fight. Marine spltting a Corruptor shot or sniping Banelings before they hit is intense to watch, while a huge hit that wipes out a bunch of units is usually a pretty hyped up moment

Massively disagree. Stormgate is boring as fuck to watch and to play. I genuinely don't get how people can play more than 20-30 games of stormgate and not just start to realize they are playing a budget knockoff Starcraft 2 and I don't mean lightly. Every aspect of Stormgate from the aesthetics of the races to units to the resources you farm are all low effort "legally distinct" versions of their SC2 counterparts. There are two resources used to make units and they each spawn at every base --- literally minerals and gas from SC2. The Vanguard are literally budget Terran, the Infernals are literally budget Zerg and the Celestials are literally budget Protoss. The Exo is one of the best examples of this. It both looks and functions exactly like a marine does in SC2 but with a slightly different method of how it gains its version of "stimpack" for the marine in SC2. Instead of it being an ability you have to attack something and then you get a buff for a brief period of time. Same exact mechanic, just legally distinct with as little effort as possible. Unit is a space soldier in blue armor, same as Terran's marine. They did the bare minimum with this game and it shows all the way to the graphical fidelity of the game itself. On max graphics the game looks worse than Starcraft 2 does on low. It looks worse than Starcraft 2 did in fucking alpha. Hell I'll even go further and say it looks worse than Starcraft Brood War because at least that game has a cohesive art style. Stormgate looks like some Chinese developer wanted to make knockoff Starcraft 2 without getting sued.

If I want to play a cozy relaxing game I will play Stardew Valley or some sandbox game where I can automate production. In an RTS you are supposed to be making decisions in real time hence real time strategy. Dumbing down core mechanics and aspects is how you kill your RTS.

I agree on the unit production part, its really an innovative way to pull in new players who arent used to RTS. I think its very smooth with Stormgate, that all units are under 1 tab and the more structures you build that create units, are all automaticly assigned into that unit tab. The first time i played it, i noticed it and i was blown away with it. But i also think the game is very smooth and yes, its a bit slower then SC 2 but not very much i would argue and i think its right in the sweetspot between Warcraft 3 and SC 2 in terms of game speed. I also agree that the new additions they added to maps, certainly allows more room for counterplay and surprise attacks. I am honestly really amazed what they have done the past year with Stormgate, the game is in a really good state and sure their are a lot of things to be improved. But so far i find it a very promising game.

I might be wrong, but I think casual players don't feel the map significance in SC2 as much as they would in Stormgate. My highest peak in SC2 was around 6400 mmr, in SG I was TOP 100 during open beta, and while I could comfortably play the same BOs in SC2 on almost every map, it was a pain (and fun) to adjust to each map in SG.

Unfortunately correct. Stormgate doesn’t do a single thing better than SC2 and it’s nearly 2 decades later. People say “just give them time, SC2 had years and years of refinement” The issue is they didn’t learn from any of that refinement and are starting from the beginning. If this game were to survive development, which it won’t because they are out of money and the game currently sucks, within 2 years, they would be forced to speed everything up from TTK to movement to pacing. A lesson that was learned in SC2.

@@bartonfile6569 I mean I agree with most of this but honestly if you ask me Stormgate's biggest issues are from a race and unit design perspective than anything else. Vanguard both looks and plays like a worse unfun version of Terran in SC2. Same thing for Infernals being a worse Zerg and Celestials being a worse Protoss. The units just are not exciting and it from top to bottom. Their models are awful and uninteresting, their mechanics are in many cases just worse versions of SC2 mechanics (the Exo is literally SC2 marine with stimpack but instead of it being an ability you activate it is a passive proc when you attack) and the overall visual aesthetic/theme of the races are just bad. I hate to be so negative about it but when I look and play Vanguard I'm just thinking to myself "man I wish I was playing Terran in SC2" Same thing for Celestials "wish I was Protoss," same thing for Infernals "wish I was Zerg." SC2 nailed their race designs from both a gameplay/feel perspective to the visual aesthetics/theme of each race. When I play SC2 I dabble in every race from time to time but usually stick to Protoss/Terran because they all are just really cool and when you see them they make you excited to play them. When I watch a Vanguard player in Stormgate or an Infernal player or Celestial player I don't see their gameplay and think "holy shit these units and this race look so fun to play, I want to try/play that" I'm not a Zerg player in SC2 at all but I'll still play a game or two from time to time just because I find making big swarms of units all at once fun and the race looks like a primal ancient alien creature race. Infernals look like a chinese knockoff toy. Game just doesn't look fun or interesting both visually, thematically and gameplay wise.

The creep camps and mechanics related to them are super-good idea. Gives you something to do with your combat units, beside just attacking your enemy base.

I've been a GM zerg since 2016... Those things are not so much for top level players but for more casual players who need easier access for a large audience to jump on it and make it successful. It's a big problem for RTS genre that needs to be tackled, otherwise it'll be difficult to attract and maintain new players

The reality is content creators like this are looking for an “in” with FGS. They aren’t going to get that “in” by being honest about the game. By the time the game fails due to bad ideas and no one being honest, being “in” with FGS will mean nothing lol.

@@bartonfile6569 We'll have a big review when the game comes out. This video just highlights some of the cool esports features in Stormgate. It doesn't mean the game has no drawbacks

Guys why do you have to be hating so much, as the guy said this is for new players to get into rts, the genre won’t survive with its current player base, because it has fallen behind from other genres such as fps. As a medium skill player I appreciate this addition, I have played sc2 for like 5myears and I’m decent, but this still helps, I don’t see the big issue and just using the blanket statement of everything you said in this vid was bad is not a constructive argument

APM cause tons of injuries. You can create strategic gameplay with much less APM. It's a great decision in that sense. It doesn't mean that the game will be easy.

Answer: Nothing and sc2 is a very old game. What a shame.

This is probably the best advertisement for stormgate i have seen. I must say i was a bit put off it, but nice to know what's actually better rather than just look and see weird uncanny valley sc2 unit ripoffs.
