Hmm, I have no idea what the mayo/ketchup thing is. Looking it up on “know your meme” is basically just blank with a video that doesn’t exist anymore. Far as I can tell, they are individually both popular condiments in most countries, and using them together is even pretty popular in most countries still. So it must be some specific reference I just can’t find?
So, I think I found the correct answer, sadly I had to read a reddit post for it. Apparently, it is someone saying that they’ll eat 1 tablespoon of ketchup or mayo for each like their review gets. It’s only one source but it was the OP of this meme on /r/Steam (at least the result I found anyway) so maybe that’s correct.
What no “WoKe GaMe DoNt BuY!”? Every time I see that I just want to put my hand on their shoulder and say “your mother and I are very disappointed in you son.”
Halo Wars honestly just works imo. Both games. Like honestly on paper, everything about it sounds like it’d be a hit. And it kinda was; I feel like a lot of people ignored it because it wasn’t a mainline Halo game. I know I did for a few years until I got a chance to play it, and loved it.
Stormgate should be out soon. It made its rounds already with SC2 streamers, so there are a few videos of beta gameplay out there. (It appears to be a modern SC2) From what I can see, it looks good but I honestly have no idea.
Early access is almost/already over? The full unlock is on the 30th, I assume. I dunno if all the streamers showing it were on pre-early release or not.
So excited for this. A few friends and I are going through all the SC2 campaigns (3pl coop mod) and having a blast. We played a ton of SC1 back in the day. I remember playing til 3-4am some sessions.
I played for a bit during the beta a few months ago (before the third race was in the game) and it was quite fun but clearly very far from finished. It should be in a better state when early access starts in a couple weeks, but I’m sure there will still be many rough edges.
You are asking about a game that is widely considered the best in a genre. Everything else will feel different if not inferior.
With that disclaimer out of the way, Battle Aces and Stormgate are worth a look. A new take on the genre and a spiritual successor made by some of the developers that made StarCraft.
Yeah, Stormgate is definitely very Starcraft like, the team’s connection to old SC shows through clearly. There are a few nice quality of life updates though in terms of hot keys for unit creation and such.
So that’s a pretty interesting question, because you’re asking for a modern RTS which doesn’t quite exist. It’s not that the RTS genre died, it’s just kind of evolved into two separate paths based on what people enjoyed from those games.
For those that liked the fast action, APM, control of units, MOBAs have mostly filled that role.
For those that liked planning out and building a huge base, there are a bunch of indie base/empire building games.
I know you requested steam, but beyond all reason is legitimately good and free. Runs on all major OS’s, has a good user base and excellent development.
Yup, that’s awesome. The first time I played it, I was using a steam deck as a daily driver while waiting for a new laptop to ship. Grabbed the app image and it just worked!
