So as a kid I played a few real-time strategy games... but not regularly and it wasn't a lasting habit. I was more into shooters, platformers, stealth games and some point-and-click adventure titles. I even kinda grew to despise the RTS genre for some reason I can't quite understand. It just didn't feel immersive to me. But, well, recently I was curious in giving the genre a second chance since I suddenly got nostalgic about those Command & Conquer games I played demos of way back when the magazine PC Gamer (which is going to be cancelled in Sweden apparently) would come with these little demo CDs. Those were the good ol' days. <3 I'm usually kind of a hardcore and masochistic gamer but with RTSes I just... suck. I LITERALLY have to learn everything from the goddamn beginning because I haven't played a real, pure RTS in like, 15-20 years. I watch videos of playthroughs on YouTube for comparison's sake and they're just so SO GODDAMN GOOD AND FAST when I usually can't focus on that many things on the screen at the same time (or maybe I can 'cause I can do Contra fairly okay). They seem to get these great ideas right away and shit, and I have to just sit and think about what I'm gonna do, and then try a great idea I have but the idea doesn't work, so I have to SAVE SCUM TO THE EXTREME and backtrack if I make a mistake. I dunno if I'll ever be able to play RTSes online with anybody, I'd just get fuckin' massacred. For the first time in a long time I feel like a fucking n00b and it suuuuucks. ;w;
