Re: Command and Conquer 4 announced
You all watched the briefing videos in command and conquer, etc etc right? There were some pretty epic ones showing exactly what was mentioned, tiberium roots stretching down and leeching the valuable minerals from below ground and depositing them on the surface for easy collection.
Campaigns I've added my distinctiveness to-
- Blue Planet: Battle Captains
-Battle of Neptune
-Between the Ashes 2
-Blue planet: Age of Aquarius
-FOTG?
-Inferno R1
-Ribos: The aftermath / -Retreat from Deneb
-Sol: A History
-TBP EACW teaser
-Earth Brakiri war
-TBP Fortune Hunters (I think?)
-TBP Relic
-Trancsend (Possibly?)
-Uncharted Territory
-Vassagos Dirge
-War Machine
(Others lost to the mists of time and no discernible audit trail)

Re: Command and Conquer 4 announced
But...the fluff got changed a bit with Tiberium Wars came out.  Tiberium eventually corrupts everything because it's attempting to change any matter it comes in contact with into more tiberium.  That's where T-Sickness comes from.

And with each fluff change, the quality dropped. They should have stuck with the original

iirc T-sickness comes from Tiberian Sun
It came from outer space! What? Dunno, but it's going back on the next flight!

T-Poisoning = T-Sickness
This guy is all screwed up from the tiberium pustules growing on his flesh.

Yeah, but ShadowGorrath is right, that's from Dawn.

In Dawn contact just killed rather rapidly. The concept that even brief exposure could cause long-term issues developed in Sun.

Re: Command and Conquer 4 announced
I feel cheated because I pre-ordered it, then on the way out, I saw that if I'd brought my old C&C discs down to a mall on Sunday, I'd get 15 bucks off the pre-order price. And the staff of the store I bought it from never mentioned it once.

Looks like this game is a flop. An average score of 70 today is saying a lot, with all the review inflation that goes on these days. I might get it eventually after the price falls a lot, just to see how the story ends.

Funny. A friend of mine told me that, I quote: "while the gameplay is questionable, the ai and story is awesome". Just have to try it myself though.

Re: Command and Conquer 4 announced
Most of the reviews have talked about how it's a disappointing send-off for Kane, and apparently it doesn't reveal much of anything about his origin.

Re: Command and Conquer 4 announced
i would have to think that the worst case scenario is no advancement from the previous title.  i can't see how a game like C&C could actively regress.  is it just a case of not living up to hype, or did they really **** something up that bad?

Re: Command and Conquer 4 announced
It's hard for a series like CnC to regress because it has well-established gameplay that is well-received.  Considering EA threw out all the existing CnC gameplay and feel and replaced it with DoW2 with mobile bases and Tiberium that falls from the sky, yeah, I would say it is quite possible to regress.

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems

Re: Command and Conquer 4 announced
well, i guess i'll just have to judge for myself.  in 3 year's time.   :D

i just got 3 the other week.  i don't think i've ever bought a game the same year it was released.  and thats how you get both the game and the expansion for considerably less than the game alone cost initially.  ;7
