I'm mad at Relic for making a couple shitty expansions to Company of Heroes and I'm trying to imagine what could've caused that other than a lack of understanding about what made CoH good, and I'm coming up empty.
I got a PM but I didn't notice for a while because I think the only notification is the red text in the upper right. Maybe there could be a popup or something that only goes away when you dismiss it? Or something else. If I'm the only one blind enough to miss the red text then it might just be me, but other forums I go to have more notification and I find that helpful. It could also email you when you get a PM: I don't see any option in my profile to enable that so I assume it doesn't exist (although again I might just be missing it).
I seriously disagree that most of what made CoH great had to do with technology. The flanking, the suppression, the cutoffs, the CPs as the source of resources, the VP victory mechanic, the low APM requirement, buildings and cover, retreats + reinforcement, squad control... none of these require advanced technology at all. You could have made an RTS 15 years ago with almost all of them with almost no problems.
And CoH's advances weren't inevitable because they didn't have those advances in OF. The Brits damaged the fluidity, the cutoffs, the cover system (by replacing it with trenches that could be built anywhere), the reliance on CPs/map control for resources, and even the suppression mechanic (no mobile MG except for commando HQ glider). And then ToV added Kangaroo Carriers.
In terms of numbers it wasn't a lot of people but in terms of importance on the team, they lost the producer, the art director, the lead programmer, the lead designer, and a designer (plus a senior designer from Relic who maybe didn't work on CoH?). So a lot of the heads of CoH went away. And even apart from how many or who left, it's clear that the original dev team did something that nobody has really been able to recreate. So even if most of the original CoH people are still there, they've clearly lost sight of (or never had a good vision of) the best stuff about CoH.
People who think your worth as a human being is defined by how much money you can earn in a fair market setting where there are no rules and the greediest backstabbers end up on top.
That's pretty much how I feel. The additions and changes from the original CoH to OF, ToV, CoH: O, and even lots of what we've seen for CoH 2 (like the UI or the resource system or the cold mechanic) suggest that the people left at Relic have basically no idea why CoH was amazing and they have no idea how to recapture that magic. People shit all over Blizzard for not changing enough with Starcraft II but that's just because Blizzard is trying to recapture what made Starcraft so amazing. It's hard work and they're having trouble with it, but at least they haven't added anything like the Brits.
You're really changing the subject here dude, just admit you horribly failed with your point. You're right that he said CoH related. But you're saying to me I shouldn't post other stuff that doesn't have to do anything with CoH while this topic is for every meme.
This topic isn't even just for memes, it's for whatever we want to post, some moderator edited the "MEME mania" into the title against the OP's will. We can do whatever we want! I can keep having this hilarious argument with a child who can't read! Nobody can stop us!
Am I the only one who actually dislike the result? It's mostly becoming cartoon-ish with fake colors, not more realistic.
I completely agree. "More contrast" doesn't make things automatically look better. And sharpening especially does some pretty crazy shit to the image that I don't like at all in a lot of cases.
