I think you're only reading the parts that is advantageous to what you believe in, and skim read or ignore other parts. I said yes talent is probably things you grow up with, BUT even if people experience same/similar things when they are young, they grow up with different strengths. So yes it...
Not true. Some can get there with much less effort, some needs even more than what you've just said, and some will not be able to even with what you said. Become a way better player? of course I agree. But reach 2k? really depends, and most won't be able to. That is why it's top xx% of the whole...
Your reply contradicts your point actually. You say it's nothing and easy because it really is for you. If everyone can do it according to you, why don't they? I see plenty of people with many more games than you who are even below 1k ELO in Aoe4, or your current 2k in Aoe2. How are we also sure...
I'm not sure if you've read everything I said. I totally agree with talent playing part in music. Very overrated. You do get the odd ones on each side of the extreme (extremely talented, "genius", or extremely hopeless, e.g. tone/rhythm deaf), but with gaming, I think it's underrated. The...
Very interesting mate. I'm a working musician myself (jazz) and for your music part, I can't agree with you more! I only used music as an example as a lot of people overrate talent in music. In saying that, I think a lot of people also underrate talent in sports (e-sports included). We often...
I'm very surprised by the amount of people saying "everyone" or "most people" can (like the post above). This is not true at all. Gaming requires talent. So many people here saying if everyone has the time to grind like the pros, they can reach 2k, or higher. Very delusional.. You DO need...
It's probably because most people you are referring to are from this community.
Anyone who's been playing significant amount of aoe4, and did the same with aoe2, and is at a above average level of RTS playing will say aoe4 is faster. Remember, aoe2 is a beautiful game in its own way BECAUSE it...
Yeah I don't enjoy pro scout meta. I think scouts that are carrying deer should be slower (and monks with relics). I have Arena banned as I PERSONALLY don't think playing Arena is playing real RTS (almost no scouting potential, civ/map luck plays much more importance than actual game play) but...
Hmm interesting that you are at a decent level and still think AOE2 is faster.. hardly anyone who is above average in RTS games would agree with that but okay. I did make my points and we can agree to disagree. AOE2 is the slowest RTS game out of the 3 I've played, and all the RTS friends I have...
Yeap this kind of comments.. omg.. not sure if trolling
How many games have you actually played though especially after the meta has settled? (still not settled and will be a while, but at least after Genesis) At a high level, you can't really stone wall that easily unless maps are designed to...
Hmm, I guess there are few things, but main thing is the "feel" as you play more. I think the BEST thing to say to "prove" this is for me to say, just try the game out for quite some time! but yeah:
1. Much harder to wall, hence multi-pronged harassment is relatively stronger. The more places...
Freedom of speech argument is always interesting right. To what extent? should you still have freedom of speech when it is something that can lead to division, or when it can imply how something that certain group of people love/enjoy etc is not as good as they are thinking?
I know that this...
Bugs and UI issues I definitely agree. But the game itself, the design of how the game is played, is very fun and unique. Just because something isn't AOE2, it doesn't mean it sucks.. just because you love AOE2, doesn't mean you have to hate on other RTS games.
Please note that when I say it's faster, I don't mean it's better. I love both games.
I'm not sure if you've played the game enough to comment on the pace. ALL RTS gamers who's been playing RTS long enough and played at least quite a few different RTS games would agree with my comment. Not sure...
Yeah it's definitely because you haven't played it enough or the level of your playing isn't close to average yet.
Objectively, AOE4 is a faster paced game. Not better, faster. Coming from SC2 background, even AOE2 doesn't have much micro aspect. Yes there's the xbow micro, mango micro, but...
What a stupid and divisive comment. Why are you dividing AOE2 and AOE4 community? if anything, it should be a "RTS community". We are already the minority in the gaming world.
It's not a competition between the RTS games, well it shouldn't be. Btw AOE2 was NEVER the top RTS game in the first...
Yeah I agree sorry if I'm putting words in your mouth. I think most of these I'm talking about is what I heard from the ones who are bashing on those who support the idea of altf4ing having consequences, and yes I did get sympathy and empathy confused. English is my 2nd language :(
Well...
OK so he actually made a valid point. But once enough people have lobby active and we go towards improving the lobby system for the one mappers, wouldn't that make everyone happy? Idk maybe a hidden ELO system where the game sets a balanced team game? I'm sure people can come up with ideas for a...
Okay what you've said here I think are very good points, especially your second part though I do have lots of experience playing lobby but yes your second point about not getting a balanced game is sometimes a factor. But your first point of people asking for better lobby system I disagree with...
