And I'm still too busy and using an old video card (MSI NVIDIA GeForce
GTX 750 Ti (N750TI-2GD5/OC; 2 GB of VRAM) so I can't play it for now. :(
Maybe I will finally play it in a decade when it is free and have better
hardwares. Ha! :P

Did your previous good stuff include good video cards though? :p

Ha, that video card would handle this game well than my old card. ;P
(It also had its hard-drives complete with all the user data on it in
unencrypted format. People really need to learn to wipe their drives
before tossing their PCs)
Geez. Did you find anything good in their HDDs? ;)

dislike them in general.I'm a bit less sanguine about action/strategy RTS games, where you
have to take on the role of one of the soldiers on the battlefield and
order your troops from a ground-level perspective. I find it messy and
overly complicated. Even though several games -- "Battlezone" (1998)
or "Hostile Waters: Anteaus Rising", for instance-- rose to prominence
based on the mechanic, I think a lot of their success came from the
novelty of the idea rather than its workability. It's a concept that
is better left in the dustbin of history, as far as I'm concerned. ;-)
So, you didn't like RTS games like Dune, C&C, WC, SC, AoE, etc. I love those.
