people, there are only so many types of games, not every new game will be completely different.  All you have essentially are the same as the old games only improved: strategy games, fight sims, space sims, racing, first person shooter, sports.  We call them genres, and everything within one genre can be arguably just another rehash of that which began the genre.  So stop dissing games, if you bought them, you must have found some value in them; unless you just so happen to be too stupid to pay attention to what you buy.

Yep, I definitely got something out of all of my game purchases. (got the most probably out of C&C, RA, D2, FS and FS2 due to all the time I spent making mods and maps/missions for them )

The Final Frontier mod is my personal favorite, but UTASP is also very good.

Red Alert I bought for the music, not the game.

If players don't talk about the parts of games they don't like, then the games will not improve. Negative feedback is as useful as positive. I don't think we need yet another rehash of Dune2. That's not evil, Narol. Its my opinion. Its okay to have those, yeah?

I liked SC, actually. The characters pulled me in. Admittedly, my standards aren't all that high, but I didn't have to spend a great deal of effort to enjoy SC.

Bad Venom. Very bad. You're confusing books with video games. I don't see what the crazy ideas of Stephen Baxter or Ian Banks have to do with videogames, be they realtime 'strategy' or space sim. Lay off the alcohol.

Seriously, I believe if you search the threads, I DID attack FS2 as being a not very good successor to FS1. I never PLAYED Iwar1. It won't run on my system. Sorry. And I have to agree that most Space sims (with the exception of Iwar2) are rehashes of WingCommander1. I agree COMPLETELY. You're absolutely right, and I won't defend them.

On the other hand, other than the graphics, what was the real, game-mechanics difference between Dune2 and C&C. Not bloody much. In fact, all the C&C derivatives have been the same game--with different cutscenes and updated sprites. Joy.  Hey, its a formula that works. And its just what sports games do (minus the cutscenes). See, I did play the games, Venom. I just couldn't swallow the same stuff over and over past the third mission.

Dune2 got it right and the rest have been boring to me. Is that bad? Is that wrong? No. Its my opinion, which I was expressing. I wasn't telling you not to play them. I was expressing pleasure at the fact that WESTWOOD will have to do something NEW, Something ORIGINAL.

Could you be offended because I attack something YOU like? Sorry if I offended you, but I think that you can have the vBulletin system censor out my opinions so you won't have to be offended by them in the future.

You misunderstand EVERYTHING of what I said.
Bah, I give up, I have to finish the allied campaign in RA2, and then install Yuri's revenge ( I bougth them both while I was waiting for renegade )
