perhaps. it's interesting enough that if it does I'd be interested

Well the same as the mercs...kinda. They get experience points which they can use for leveling up skills and customizations. Sorry I missed that. But there's a reason...the alien was very boring lol but still sorry my bad :(

@@miah_the_king gotcha. As stated everyone reviewing the game seems to be missing it, you're good

huh, that's odd. But regardless I'm happy I was able to help you out :) So thanks! :D

Meh to each their own I suppose. If that's what the people want them more power to em. I personally don't like it though :P

yeah the palette in this game is beautiful. i installed reshade for stardew and have to tone things down :( i don't need EVERYTHING to be pink but i appreciate softer palettes way more

@@bunnyellabell Awesome! I hope you continue to enjoy it :)

Yeah that was my biggest pet peeve. Not being able to find the people I needed :(

@@miah_the_king if they have names with the characters on the map (or if you hovered over them or touched on steam deck) it would make things SO much easier

Happy to help! :)

lol I suppose that's a fair enough argument. But I can still not like it XD

@@miah_the_king ofc!

Thanks! And yeah that might be the best option :)

Thanks so much! And don't get me wrong, I can understand challenging games being fun. Even I enjoyed Elden Ring. But there's challenging, and then there's downright unplayable unfair.

Some people want hard games. Frostpunk, Squad, Hell let loose, men of war, Gates of Hell, Last train Home, and Partisans 1941 and even more games that are hardcore and make it so you cant just go guns blazing and have to use your head. Theres a market for these games

I think this one has some really serious potential. I can understand not wanting to buy it while it's in early access, however when I played it the game was actually still really fun and well put together.

@@miah_the_king good to know, ty

@@tinyskeletonman8882 Np hope I was able to help

Not every game needs to be like Rockstar💀

Every year I try to do top 10 best indie games video. This one might be there :D

Totally agree! I saw 2 of his videos and he says all the time "stardew valley clone". like omg does he even know the genre?? he keeps talking as if SDV was the only farming game ever or the first one... And graphically this new game looks more like the harvest moon of Sness.

I didn't say it for views. I said it to compare. Not everyone watches all of my videos. So sometimes I have to use similar language because the only thing that's actually important is the overall message and view of the game. Apologies if I repeated myself too many times but nobodies perfect.

@miah_the_king you repeat that sooo many times that it gets annoying. And those games are not even clones. You kinda have no idea what a clone game is. Comparing and calling something a copy is not the same thing. And you calling it clone is annoying.

@@CTMillan Would the word homage be better?

@reffwe sounds better, but most of the gameplay compared to sdv existed already wayyyyy before sdv. It's just part of the genre, so it's not a homage or a copy of sdv. Farming gameplay it's being the same since the first harvestmoon (fishing is not like sdv) friendship is just like the first hm too (and like every game in the genre) mining was invented first like for the 2 or 3 hm and combat I believe was first implemented by rune factory. So you see what I mean when I said is not something copied from sdv? The only thing I see that is directly inspired by sdv is how you find the ladders to go down in the mines, and maybe that the rooms in the mines change. If we talk about the oixel art style, it is not similar to sdv it looks more like the sness hm

I agree

I mean...okay and? Just because they're behind another game doesn't mean it's okay to recreate the same game a second time. They could have done anything. If anything this just shows they're a one trick pony and lack imagination. And since the game released in such a confusing and poor manor, it doesn't boost confidence.

@@miah_the_king "[...]doesn't mean it's okay to recreate the same game a second time." This worked wonders for Dune 2 and Command and Conquer, Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander, Age of Empires and Rise of Nations/Empire Earth, Supreme Commander and Planetary Annihilation. There is value in being inspired and making a "like" game, just look at the boomer shooters and people of that genre is happy af. In other hand I understand why you are angry at Frost Giant but i think you arguments, the ones comparing Stormgate and Starcraft 2, are very poorly made.

Yes, but how is this new gen RTS? Or have you ignored the lie?

@@JuanxDlol Really? Because I legit have proof in the video comparing them side by side. It's almost a complete copy. And as to your other comment. When those other games are made, they are given more value or improvements over previous games. They aren't the exact same game re-created. And if it was, then I'd be frustrated at that as well. Take a look at age of empires 2 and 3. Are they the exact same game? no! THey play very similarly to each other, but AoE 3 added improvements, units, maps, campaigns, and just overall newer stuff even with the U.I. and menu's. If they wanted to make a SC2 clone but make it better, then fine, more power to them. But from my playthrough the game doesn''t look like it will. From my PoV it looks like it'll end up being less than their previous entry which is something you should be annoyed at.

Why complain? Well...it's not really complaining. Not technically. It's called reviewing. Which serves only a positive influence. Even awful reviews of really awful games still boosts their sales. Reviews are important. It lets the community know whats going on as well as lets the developers know how the masses feel. Which helps them to become better developers...if they're smart. Also it's sort of a checks and balances kind of thing. If we never say anything when they make mistakes or make bad games then they'll only think they can keep getting away with low quality effort/content. Which means the general quality of games goes down. Look at EA Games and the madden franchise. Proof's right there.

Thank you very much! Also, trust me when i say I know where you're coming from. I literally grew on on games like that. Age of Empires 2-3. Starcraft 1. Warcraft 2-3. Rise of Nations. Age of mythology and I could keep going. But that doesn't mean we need a copy of an older already great game. What we need is a game of the same style, but BETTER than it's predecessors...not the same. That doesn't lead to gaming innovation. It leads to a gaming creative blackhole. We don't want that. And if we want to have great RTS games again like we did 20 years ago, then we have to call out shoddy quality when we see it, else they'll keep giving us shoddy quality.

lol wow. Yeah when I saw it I immediately thought of the first SC2 mission. Crazy..

​@@miah_the_kingit's almost as if all RTS campaign missions start in a similar manner...

@@FullMetalSnorlax Really? So this starter and SC2 starter is just like Warcraft 3 starter? Age of Empires 2,3,4 starter? Rise of nations starter? Age of mythology starter? Cuz....I don' think so.

@@miah_the_king I'd say yes to all of those except age of mythology which starts on a base defense mission. It's pretty typical to start a campaign on "here are some units. Get familiar with controls by walking to some waypoints and figting revealed enemy units. Rescue a bunch of units near the end and storm an underdefended enemy base" Although that last bit didnt happen until the second part of warcraft 3s tutorial, still basically how you want to do onboarding for your RTS game.

@@miah_the_king I can name several other games that open like this too. Imposible creatures, Zombie tycoon, Atrox, ParaWorld, Hooligans, Starship troopers: Terran command. Probably dozens more that I can't remember.

Thanks so much! I can't wait to see you at future content :)

Did you even watch the video? Maybe actually watch it because I'm definitely not complaining just because it's incomplete.

It's not inexcusable at all. Frost Giant are nearly out of money. They raised $41M and, according to their own documents they filed with the SEC, have spent almost all of it. Their burn rate is $1M per month. For this game to see a 1.0 release will require one of the most successful EA launches in history (and that's for any game, not just an RTS). The reason they're releasing into EA now is because they have no choice - they need the revenue.

@@allanshpeley4284 Yeah the amount of money it takes just to make a simple indie game is pretty damn high I can't imagine. But seriously? I refuse to believe they spent 41 million dollars on THIS. Where did all the money go??? Slime Rancher was better and made 1/30'th of the money they spent on this one! lol

This is exactly the idea I have shared since finding it years ago. They are coders at best, woke monstrosities at worst. - Adûnâi

You can take the dev team but without the resources, the art, the world building, and story telling they'll just end up making crap.

yeah, except with products it also comes with the expectation that it'll be better in every regard than the last gen

Sensationalism and misinformation on his part.

Literally it's an early access supporters pack... WOW. Misinformation. Leaving the video now. Poor review. "Poor man's starcraft, literally made by starcraft devs to make a modern starcraft."

"Celestials have shields to every unit and have pylons to expand where they are allowd to build" He wants to say to hard that the game is a exactly copy and paste of starcraft that he doesn't even played the game.

@@MathianSC2 What I said wasn't wrong. So what's your point?

@@spearwy7240 It's not misinformation if you misunderstand it

Well I hope you're right. Only time will tell though. But developers need to earn our trust, it shouldn't just be given out freely.

Have you looked at the Starcraft 2 Alpha reveal trailer? That was multiple years before the release of SC2 and it looked miles better than Stormgate does in this stage. Stormgate has had about half the budget that SC2 had for development, yet it has way less content than half of what SC2 was at Beta. Plus, much of that SC2 budget went into advertisement (that stuff is expensive) and Stormgate is relying on word-of-mouth, they even stated that they have a nearly non-existent marketing budget. They also now have 14 years worth of advanced tools and experience in game development as ex-Blizz devs. Although yes this is more of an indie title so you can expect some degredation, the fact that they refer to this as "Next-Gen" and as a "Successor" and constantly mention they are ex-Blizz devs set expectations high. Ultimately, it's not an issue of "lack of finances" or "lack of time", but rather a series of bad decisions from art style to misleading expectations to bad story-writing and animation. It's a problem of execution, not paycheck.

@@GamingInShades That's a...lot to take in. But none of it seems lacking or wrong imo. When you consider everything they "Should" have and yet THIS is what they eventually put out....it's...even more depressing lol

@@GamingInShadesThis is the problem with modern-day content creation. People who were 6 years old when SC2 released can post on their 3k subscriber account as if they have an informed opinion.

@@transistor3115 I mean, everyone should have the ability to form an opinion. Sub count shouldn't be an indication on anything related to "informed opinions". Miah had probably more knowledge about this than the average random gamer as they clearly gave it a shot, so this gives a good image/understanding as to what the general population thinks of Stormgate. It's okay to not have all the details, if anything that shows how poorly Stormgate's devs are going about providing clear information. Just to make sure people understand, I want Stormgate to succeed and I've been a backer from when Tim Morton first left Blizzard to create this company. I'm just wildly disappointed and it seems like many others are as well. Miah is just another person who tried it out, got whatever info they got, and provided their opinion. I don't think that needs any hostility towards them. I'm glad they shared their thoughts and hopefully it leads to more people doing more research.

I mean...it's possible. I try not to make assumptions but instead explode in anger after they disappoint me lmfao XD

@@miah_the_king not making assumptions. Look at the store page in game they gonna milk it dry. Look at how the store page is set up. Compare it yourself to a mobile f2p game.

@@slycep7304 I was already warry after seeing they have their own versions of "digital deluxe editions" I normally see that and physically gag cuz it's so despicable. But with enough backlash they could backstep.

@@miah_the_king I hope so! I get that it is a f2p game and they need to have some sort of way to earn income. But these packs, 60 dollars for 1 pet, 1 accent, 1 shader 3 mission chapters and 3 heroes which you can only use in co op. (+ early acces). i was looking forward to a better/newer sc2 😢

Glad it was helpful!

That's a very fair argument. But I wasn't someone who was following the game or the devs. I was just some guy who stumbled upon a game and then was confused. Think of how many other people out there experienced the same thing I did? But regardless it's still a fair point. Doesn't change the rest of the issues with the game though

@@miah_the_king It's okay, but we can't blame them for early access; they're a small studio and need money and support, and they've been transparent about that.Moreover, we need to understand that this studio is progressing the fastest and strongest in the RTS genre. They have set up the infrastructure and foundational aspects of the game, which are the hardest parts to establish in an RTS. Now that this is in place, they themselves say they are progressing exponentially because the fundamentals are solid.Personally, I have many issues with the unit design and the lack of creativity in the storyline, but I know that in a year, the game will be very solid

@@clausewitz8321 Unfortunately, Frost Giant has nearly burned through all of their $41M investment and probably won't make it another year. Someone on the Stormgate subreddit ran the numbers for a bunch of different scenarios and the vast majority of them show FG running out of cash within 6-8 months.

I thought they were the WC3 dev team, because this is Warcraft 4.

What is wrong with that?
