No, they are. RA2 and AoE2 came out within a year of each other, and it isn’t even a contest. RA2 is fun, but it’s so much simpler, and games are so much shorte

I still like RA2 quite a bit, but it’s not in the same league as others.
- Aeolun 2y ago> I still like RA2 quite a bit, but it’s not in the same league as others. While I agree with the statement as written, what I take away from it is the polar opposite. RA2 is (to me) the best RTS ever created.
- sgarland 2y agoNo judgement – I like them both. What is it about RA2 that you prefer to others? Also, YR or original?
- mft_ 2y ago(Not the previous poster but) for me wth RA2 there's a slickness to the gameplay, the mechanics, the controls, and the graphics. I've tried to get on with RA several times (via OpenRA) but it never quite clicks for me - it feels old and clunky in comparison.
- semi-extrinsic 2y agoHave you tried Beyond All Reason? It's a modern take on Total Annihilation, known for having a lot of "player comforts" that reduce the need for micro.
- mft_ 2y agoI haven't, but downloading now - thanks. I've been intermittently grinding Mindustry recently...
- Aeolun 2y agoYR or original both. There’s a fluency to the animations, sounds and gameplay that I haven’t seen anywhere before or after. It just feels like everythibg comes together perfectly. The units are all unique. The few differentiators between nations are actually very relevant. The only thing that comes close is Starcraft.
