i used to read computer gaming world all the time. plus that like maximum pc or whatever it was.
i like RTSes, and they gave a huge review to starcrap. it was horrible and simplistic. a click fest.
then i re-read their dark reign reviews and they praised it for its options and AI options and the map editor and such. figured that favorable starcrap review was due to them pandering to the AAA publisher which was kinda understandable at the time.
then they did a review of supreme commander where they panned it for its complexity and upgrade system.
strike 1, 2, and 3.
final nail in the coffin was the review they did on another game, i forget what game it was. but they gave it a glowing hugely positive review. but when i played the game it was horrible.
RTSes should be moving forward. simplicity and click-fests like starcrap need to stay in the 90s. we have much more powerful hardware and we can use it for far more complex ai and fuller options like what Dark Reign and Supreme Commander did.
FPSes are doing the same. complex ones like quake and unreal and such get panned nowadays and now we get games with being able to hold 1-2 weapons, all picked at start of round, no finding weapons on maps, no armor pickups... we get games like COD and halo and crap. they are crap. they are not very fun. i do not know how people enjoy playing them for hours on end.
at this point, the gaming media cant grow a sack. too many have caved. at this point its up to the fans en-masse to demand honesty.
