Topic: 'Rise of Legends'. Hmmm.... (Read 6024 times)

Recently, I played 'Rise of Legends'. I liked it - nice backstory, good artwork and not too complex RTS.
It is, of course, an almost identical clone of the old World of Warcraft single player RTS games - including a doomed young hero who 'TURNS TO THE DARK SIDE/EATS THE LICH KING/BECOMES INFESTED WITH ZERGS'.
I'm wondering if Microsoft is playing a very long game indeed and going to use 'Legends' as a content springboard fdor some upcoming MMORPG in the WoW mould?

You'll have to do better than that. |

Pity. The backstory - Da Vincian steampunks vs Vitrified desert Jihadis vs Aztec solar gods - is a lot more fun than the usual Human vs Orc vs Zombie threeway. Pitch a franchise MMORPG to Bill. See what he says. The worst he can do is fire you and erase all record of you across all systems. |

Well, just be grateful he didn't erase all record of you across all systems then. |

Is the game any good if you're not a massive RTS fan? Or not even a big RTS fan?
I recall EB having many copies of it in their last cheapass sale, so I expectit to also be in their next one..

Based on the demo I would say no.

This Schild is actually an elaborate simulacrum. The original was disposed of years ago. Why do you think he prefers the desert heat? |

I think that's a little unfair. I would say it is as good as the last of the Warcraft RTS games - and, in terms of backstory and context, better. |

I think that's a little unfair. If they don't manage to make the demo not suck, why would I expect more from the real game? |

There were boats in Warcraft III, but they played a more limited role than they did in 2. They also had air units in 2l, but not to the extent that 3 did.
