I think im going to take a vacation just for Halo Wars 2 just because 1) its Strategy 2) its like THE BEST STRATEGY for XBOX and 3) ITS HALO
I hated the beta. Gonna buy for sure but on PC. It's a genre that just doesn't work on controller, as much as I want it to
Plus I have a gaming PC. I should probably use it for
something other than Civ 5
See, the difference here with Halo Wars 1 & 2 are they are games designed for the controller first and keyboard+mouse second. That's unlike other RTS games that are trying to get the functionality of a KB+M ported over to a controller. It makes a difference in which way the porting goes. I felt that HW1 was a damn good control scheme and streamlining of the menus necessary to do anything in an RTS.
Would it seem simplistic? Yes. But that simplism gives the game a MUCH better playability factor (IMO) than trying to juggle 104 keys and 18 ways of plopping a building down. I do wish that there was more freedom in the base building rather than having that central hub which limits the bases.
Edit - On topic, but 28 years out? How are they going to handle their shipboard AI? Those things go rampant after about 7 years. I know they mentioned Isabella, but still, that original smart AI needs to be addressed. It'll be interesting to see where it goes.
