[Lucifers Beard]

Sounds really positive. I dropped it not long after release as it just didn't feel finished. Looking forward to giving this another go though. Does anyone know when the update releases?

 

[Evolved1]

is this actually playable on console, like as far as controls?

 

[Complistic]

Have heard this is the worst one in the series.

 

[Hari Seldon]

Have heard this is the worst one in the series.

It is, primarily because they tried to innovate too hard with the total war layer in single player, something doable but probably not with the budget/people that they had. The core RTS underneath that is still fun, but I haven't tried the multiplayer because I told my friends not to buy it. Hopefully this update comes with a big sale. I'm looking forward to trying this again, I haven't touched it since launch.

Relic just released a 2.0 anniversary patch update. The whole game has improved over time and has gracefully take its place as the best modern RTS now!

GAF have you coh3?
Gaining steam, coming for avowed and kcd!

 

[Lagspike_exe]

I bought it on PS5, but they cut support suddenly. Really lame.

Yes it’s bad. Unfortunately rts on console just can’t work for one with coh mechanics. Relic is too small now to support consoles

 

[Embearded]

Wait, 2.0 isn't coming to PS5?

Where Avowed in that list?

 

[Hudo]

Eh, I wouldn't call it the "king", since it's not even the best Relic RTS by a huge margin. But it's nice to see that they still care about it, I guess. And it certainly is better than whatever the fuck Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War 3 was...

 

[Lagspike_exe]

They stopped patching a while ago.

 

[Frexerik88]

Will play it when it comes to gamepass

 

[Senua]

Wait is it actually good now? Relic is a shell of it's former self

Best active RTS today. Give it a buy it!

I notice in the update they didn't announce they are changing the horrible cash shop system.

I mean if the fundamentals have improved, great. But I hate loading up a game and the first thing being shoved in my face is challanges for a trickle of free currency to drive me towards the shop.

Might give it a redownload on my new Rig, I have like all the free twitch reward skins.

 

[Pakoe]

Looks good, might give it a shot

There only thing you need to pay is the 4 new battlegroup dlc. Quick download now, i think there’s another 2 older battlegroup free for a limited time

Didn’t they drop ps5 support a while ago? Played fantastic with controller, but looked shite on console.

A Relic of a bygone era even.

 

[AJUMP23]

I finished the campaign and it was good. Haven't thought about going back.

According to the replies on the video, console players have been left behind when it comes to updates. Bit shitty if true.

Multi player is great, get it on online now
A refresher video of the new battlegroup , one of the many!
