I think they all know when to dial it down a couple notches and not be lunatics.
Trott for sure.
Ross has a tendency to randomly shout things and go “WTF am I even saying?”, but I think that’s because he’s in his “Shout Like A Maniac Mode”, not because he can’t control was he’s saying in general.
Smith’s just just kind…

They’re obviously not in the area, but I think the Yogscast would’ve been the way to go.
A whole army of YouTubers who’ve organized and formalized it into a full-on company built on Let’s Plays.
Like, they have guys whose whole job is to approach this as a business and have clearly thought this all the way through. They…

That’s exactly how they did it. Good job.

Somehow All Star is utterly perfect for this.

Chopper just flies into a war zone with chill tunes singing about how awesome you are.

Yes, something LIKE that.
Except, you know, steel, and sturdy, and deadly.

Ah.
I think it’s fine including the isometric-esque games that are actually 3D.
Close enough. They’re the same thing for practical purposes.

....which is what Age Of Empires II and Red Alert 2 are....

Yes, I’ve played recently. Just a couple months ago.
They’d have to tear the game down on a very fundamental level to fix the things that make it suck, like the story, the acts, the skill system, the leveling system, the classes, etc.
All they’ve done is fix the things that were blatantly broken and stupid, and then…

And yet, they’ve done it.

I’d say no. I haven’t played nearly as much 3D World as World, so it’s kinda hard to judge for sure, but just inherently the additional axis of movement makes it harder to judge your movements perfectly.
I’ll bet you could LEARN to do it and internalize the judging your movements according to your shadow on the ground…

You could say 3D World has all the ingredients.
It had the spell components to make the magic happen.
It just didn’t quite pull it off.

It took me a long while of playing it to really figure out what about the game bothered me so much, despite how much I like it.

You know how you go into the Forest Of Illusion and you…

In a different sense, yes.

I’ll take your word for it, because Jungle Strike was TERRIBLE.

+1 for Arcanum

Wololoooo

3D camera locked in isometric perspective.
You’re splitting hairs, even if you’re technically right.

Technically true, but the camera’s locked in an isometric viewpoint to simulate isometric projection.
Kinda splitting hairs.

And I say that as someone who recognizes that D3 should be kicked off the list by D2:LoD.
It should be kicked off for being inferior, not for technicalities.

Not a good game.

Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds < Age Of Empires II

+1 for Arcanum.
