I Preceive Through Me

Hello. I wrote the bulk of this before watching some podcast with Frost Giant Studios. The reason for the changes is because Frost Giant asked questions to us, the players, the community, what have you, so I figured I’d trim the fat and try to put more thought into my reasons. It’s probably still going to be long so bear with me. First off, Frost Giant is a new developer made up of some former Blizzard employees and they plan to make a new RTS. They have a lot of good people from the looks of it. The game director was the lead campaign designer for The Frozen Throne so that’s promising. If you read my last post you know how much I love Frozen Throne. But this isn’t going to be what I want from an RTS so much but rather what I liked and disliked from my past experiences.

I tried playing Supreme Commander.

I have a  lot of thoughts and I hope I can make everything coherent and flow well so let’s get to it.             The thing I can appreciate from both Blizzard and the Warhammer 40k games is the expansions. I know that I am in the very small minority that plays campaigns of competitive multiplayer games but that’s what I do and Blizzard is a big reason for that. I grew up with WarCraft 2 and StarCraft. WarCraft 3 is what I played the most both single player and random 2v2s but the thing I remember from each of them was how the difficulty curve went up in the expansions. I never finished The Dark Portal or Brood War without cheating and I’m not even convinced I finished Frozen Throne all the way through. I feel like I made it through the human campaign but maybe not the undead. But that’s
