Dumbass, its not done by SEGA, its done by Creative Assembly(CA).

SEGA= PUBLISHER

CA = DEVELOPER

RTS needs a real keyboard and a mouse not a n00bstick...

[bourky93]

@McFlanker When comparing the two, I will agree that a mouse and keyboard is a lot more practical, but if you are REALLY keen on using controllers, you can get a tournament standard controller which you can adjust the sensitivity of the sticks and provides very accurate response. Naturally, if you pit a controller user to a keyboard user, I have no doubt that the mouse and keyboard user would be at an advantage, but one of the overall best FPS players uses a controller, so it can't be all bad :P

[McFlanker]

@bourky93 yeah I get you. But I do think the functionality of a mouse and keyboard would offer a theoretical advantage over a stick. And for most that does translate into better performance. And even for those who play better with a stick, the best stick player would still probably be outclassed by a mouse/keyboard player, with the controls and interfaces of today.

brand new kinda strategy look at kingdom under fire crusaders or heroes

[bourky93]

@McFlanker It's all about personal preference. As someone who must think of themselves as a somewhat pro gamer (Why else would you claim console players are noobs and just about all PC gamers think like that, it's no secret), surely you should know that. This game had the right idea in mind to make RTS more accessible to consoles, but the execution was just off. Yes, RTS was made for PC, but it doesn't mean that consoles should miss out. Not everyone enjoys using a mouse and keyboard after all.

@darkbyke no CA can do somthing right everyso often ( M2TW RTW) but screws it up too (empire and shogun 2) while sega screws everything up

I actually like this game :/

[paulspydar]

its a shame cos it looks OK & the idea behind it had promise but I agree the controls just are not good enough, so for me at least its only playable on a very basic level that is not a game winning formula, but if you fancy a pretty but ultimately broken frustration fest? this is the one for you , or as its cheap to buy, it could be a great joke gift for a gaming buddy?

@Zerosupersayan A woman should not leave a kitchen? What's wrong with you? And, as a fact, I am male.

So you tell me its dumbed down, focused on some shitty consoles, and that you dont like the game because you are too slow to control it. Man, fuck consoles. As far as I know, this is a Directx 10 only game on PC. This might be because the developers were lazy, but to me, this means graphics which simply can not be rivalled by consoles. I have Directx 10, something that no console has ever dreamt of.
