Don't they usually hire proper actors for them? Or at least the very best voice actors anyway.
Isaiah Long
Got any RTS recommendations for a beginner?
Elijah King
I never thought of that, but you're right user.
Never heard a single bad VA in a RTS Game.

Thank you.

>Such sensibility never encountered before, mind blown
Luis Carter
They have fewer lines and less cutscenes in general, allowing more detail.
Also, as each unit has one duty, it's easy to make their personality.
Either that or they don't give a shit to the point it's funney
Gavin Price
Because you're zoomed out 90% of the time so the majority of your interaction with them is hearing their voice and watching them die to zerg spam seconds after being created.

The Starcraft series are great. Easy to start and hard to master. I recommend you play the campaign, will help your learning huge time with the challenge missions as well.
Joseph Martinez
Red alert 2.
Old, but it's 2000's 2D so it doesn't look like shit.
It's fun, quirky story, and the gameplay itself ia pretty fast paced but easy to control.
Not very refined, but very fun and easy to learn.

seconding red alert2, fun as fuck, amazing music, insane campaigns for solo play, and fun bot skirmishes with a map generator for multiplayer so you can roll exactly the kind of map you like to play on. best RTS for casual/beginner play that i've played yet. easy camera controls, mostly highly visible units, no selection limit, generally very nice to play.
Noah Sullivan
They are also always the most quotable voice lines.
Anywhere from shit like Battle Realms to Stronghold to any Total War game, you will always find that one unit whose voice lines who stick in your ear.
Not to mention the kickass music to get you hyped

Star craft 2 is pretty shit. Most of the voices are just bland.

Man, what the fuck happened to western devs? Most of them from early to mid 2000s made really fucking catchy music. Now everyone wants to be like Hans Zimmer where it's just nothing but barely audible ambiance music.
Eli Thomas
You say this, but then They Are Billions exists with some of the worst voice acting that exists.
Kayden Green
They stopped employing Frank Klepacki for some reason
Carson Mitchell
Capturing it was easy- holding it will be hard.

Iconic games and must play:
Supreme Commander
Red Alert 2
Age of Empires 2
Warcraft 3
StarCraft
Other notable games, but might be hard for a new player:
Total Annihilation
KKnD series
C&C 1-3, C&C Generals, Red Alert 1-3
Dune 2, Dune 2000
Warhammer: Dawn of War
Samuel Roberts
Age of Mythology, WarCraft 3 and StarCraft were all my jam growing up.
Upon revisiting them though, I honestly liked AoM and WC better. SC was great at the time but it feels kinda weirder, clunkier than I remember. Spoiled by the quality of life SC2 offered.

Pretty much one of the few good things to have come out of RA3

Dawn of War was the first RTS I really got into after C&C killed turn based (superior) strategy. Really enjoyed it, the expansions even moreso. Will check out the rest of the list, thanks.

Red alert 3 commander's challenge is a pain in the dick
Daniel Martinez
Wow, how incredibly boring and bland the new sound.
Chase Powell
Generals and Tiberium wars are the best in the C&C lineup. RA2 is great, but quite dated.
Hunter Diaz
They are, though.

>recommends an RTS with zero voice acting for units
Liam Sullivan
They did, there is a few tracks from him
there was some mumbo-jumbo about him working with some other studio so there was some legal trouble to get more from him.
Logan Wright
My question is why don't more RTS games do animated unit portraits. That's always been my favorite thing in RTS games and seems like Blizzard is the only one who does it.
Thomas Gomez
>An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded
My fav phrase in DOW. Shows the imperium perfectly well.
Close minded and dogmatic, but out of necessity due to the constant threat of chaos.
Ryan Lopez
>Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment
Sebastian Morales
Waste of resources i guess.
Animation is kind of expensive. Since you are zoomed out most rts don't need to out much effort to it.
But if you put a closeup portrait it needs to be very well done.
Most see rts as a dead genre, so either they don't want to waste, or it's some small dev
Mason Sanchez
Quick'N'Fast just the way we like it
Nicholas Taylor
really sucks DOW3 was so shit. probably wont get another DOW ever again. Fuck devs wanting competitive, that shit should come naturally, don't fucking enforce it.
Brody Johnson
Age of Mythology
Halo Wars
Aiden Anderson
competitive has to come naturally or you have pour a fuck ton of cash into it, To many devs thinking that just shouting it'll be a esport means the game is going to be espn confusing the shit out of people.
Why the fuck did evolve try be an esport how the fuck did it even work
Hunter Gray
They kinda need to have good voice acting since you're going to be hearing the same lines countless times over.

What the fuck even happened?
>people like Dawn of War because it does a great job at depicting the 40k universe while being a damn good RTS
>sacrifice the 40k-ness of it while making the gameplay a lot more bland to appeal to a vocal minority who wants the game to be competitive
>when you're Relic, a company that can't balance a game worth shit
Jaxon Thomas
Anything by Westwood including and after Dune2K
Kevin Lopez
I liked DoW3 voice acting.

>DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA!

William Campbell
This is correct.
I played far too much dow1 back in the day. Still bitter about dow2 and especially dow3.
We just wanted a proper update to dow1 and we've never got it.
Chase Rodriguez
I CAN FEEL THE WARP OVERTAKING ME
It is a good pain
Carter Wood
Tiberian Sun is the best C&C-game. Holds up well too.
Jeremiah Thomas
Lelic really is just awful at balancing their games.
It's so confusing too, how they manage to make the core game so damn compelling and then just fail to properly execute the DLC, expansions and subsequent balance patches.
I should probably be happy that dow3 was a failure because I've completely written off Lelic after this and I'm not going to look forward to anything they do.
They used to stand for and for quality and innovation in the rts genre, now they're no better than EA
David Hall
Many game companies are just making games to milk as much money as they can. Competitive gaming is a huuuuge money maker and everyone wants to be a part of it. Even sacrificing great games to turn them into bland piles of shit so they can be "esport friendly"
Regarding Relic, we probably wont get Space Marine 2 because of them going under. Shit makes me so angry I make a Khorne Beskerker look like a goddamn Mormon.
