Is there a plot summary for C&C4 floating about yet? Do they explain just who the hell Kane is?

No, that's the annoying part. They promised to wrap up all the loose ends like Kane's origin and stuff like that. The story does reveal something, but it creates more questions than it answers.

Basically it is revealed that Kane has been around as long as humanity has been alive. According to Kane he found us when we were still living in huts and made us grow to where we are now but he has been stuck on Earth ever since. It's not really made clear if Kane is Scrin or something else entirely, but his ultimate goal is to go through the Scrin portal inside the Scrin tower at the Tiber river.

It's kind of weird when you take into account the previous parts of the story, because Kane didn't know what exactly the Scrin would do when they came to Earth until he saw the tower and realized what it was for. So basically we still don't know who/what Kane is, why he was here for all this time and how he survived for thousands of years.

Umineko, a VN full of intrigue, magic and...

...interesting dialogue.

It's actually the finest piece of Japanese literature ever.

So when did c&c start to suck? I only really played till Generals... After that I gave up. I liked it more when it was Westwood's and only Westwood's.

Has anyone played Red Alert 3? Im considering to get it.

Mac Sirloin · #**1239** 03-23-2010, 06:20 PM

Just Cause 2. Fuck yes.

You're not all wrong there, the narration, dialogue and music combined is intoxicating to the soul.

Taco · #**1241** 03-23-2010, 11:00 PM

I've never played a final fantasy game in my life. Uguu~

Also, I just finished Serious Sam HD and now have nothing to play... I think I need a good old RTS, any suggestions?

C&C started to suck when EA took over. It started with C&C Generals, which has nothing to do with C&C at all. Then came C&C 3, which was a step in the right direction but was paired with so many bugs and balance mistakes that it wasn't fun playing. Single player was okay, though.

Red Alert 3 is pretty fun IMO. They kept true to the comic style formula and the funny and crazy units. The story is nothing to write home about but the gameplay is okay, though maybe a bit complicated between the three factions (every faction has a different way of building, makes no sense really).

T-nex · #**1243** 03-24-2010, 02:42 AM

I really hated Generals. It was the most boring piece of modern-war related game ever... Even though it wasn't related to modern weapons at all...

But I only ever played it at net cafes with my friend.

I really like Red Alert. Red Alert 1 is my fave though. I also only tend to play single player. I tried online with different RTS and got pwned pretty hard

It's not fun when you write "Noobs only" only to find out you're playing against some asshole who targets noobs just for the wins.

Meh.. The first c&c will always be my fave. Nothing can beat those yummy retro style RTS games!

Oh and get Universe At War! It's really fun. I've been playing it lately, and I'm considering trying an online game but I'm too scared x_x

Dawn of War, Command & Conquer, Rise of Nations, Total War, Starcraft... What do you want?

Wings of Fire · #**1245** 03-24-2010, 09:27 AM

Age of Kings is always good, as is Total War.

MA · #**1246** 03-24-2010, 12:27 PM

i just played Gothic 3 for, on average, 13 seconds. not including loading time or FMV's, just plain gameplay.

what a fucking waste of money. as soon as i heard that electric guitar playing, i was already half an inch away from the ESC key. i knew as soon as i had watched the shite intro that i'd made a mistake.

also, if i can play Oblivion perfectly fine with hardly any lag, why the fuck does this rip off play like its having a seizure? next time i'll read up on the reviews beforehand.

Wings of Fire · #**1247** 03-24-2010, 12:34 PM

Prior to its release in early October 2006, Gothic 3 was nominated as the best game of E3 by IGN. Since the release, most concerns have centered around bugs. Hyper's Daniel Wilks commends the game for its "ton of quests, rewards exploration and approachable combat". However, he criticised it for "system hogging, feeling unfinished and atrocious voice acting".[

Actually it looks like it garnered fair scores all around.

atrocious voice acting

this as well. it felt so fucking amateur.

Mac Sirloin · #**1249** 03-24-2010, 06:23 PM

Just Cause 2 has a very odd progression in its voice acting; The characters in the opening video (the one pooping all of the plot into your mouth so you don't have to find it all out yourself later) has adequate to pretty okay voice acting, Then you meet some awful, awful character named Jade Tan who has bad voice acting, and thus it progresses worse and worse, the only exception being The Sloth Demon: Your Black Market dealer friend who has possibly one of the most confusing and awesome accents ever (Think Texas, Mexico, Canada and a slew of European clicks and phlegms and you have it).

Seriously though, you have a never ending parachute and your grappling hook is more important in a fight than the strongest guns.

Grieva · #**1250** 03-25-2010, 05:30 AM

Playin Metro 2033, seems ok but theres a lot of loading screens, every time any other game would have a checkpoint, they have a loading screen. The lighting is very cool, spotting where enemies are hiding from their headlamps feels pretty rewarding

.

Took a risk buying it as my comp's quite a bit below the minimum spec, need to find some tweaks to get the frame rate out of the high 20s.

Jordan · #**1251** 03-26-2010, 05:13 AM

I got Pokémon Soul Silver yesterday. I haven't been playing it much, I want to savour it as much as I can. It's okay, the music is awesome and nostalgic. But it's so god damn easy at the moment. I suppose I can't complain, I'm not even past Sprout tower.

Wings of Fire · #**1252** 03-26-2010, 07:28 AM

Oh, it gets harder.

Jordan · #**1253** 03-26-2010, 08:19 AM

Thank god. I was a little worried there.

You forget the Dune RTS games.

MeechMunchie · #**1255** 03-26-2010, 10:25 AM

Of course, because that was a totally comprehensive list. I suppose you'd like to point out Age of Empires, Civilisation and Total Annihilation too.

Nuh... I just personally thought Dune should be mentioned cos its an awesome game :D

360 broke down, so Ive been playing some Okami still, and Im trying to look for my Republic Commando disc, since thats the only game I want to play on Xbox 1.

Havoc · #**1258** 03-27-2010, 03:18 AM

The Settlers 7 is disturbingly addicting.

When it gets better get Just Cause 2. I'm so impressed with it.

Yeah, I enjoyed the demo a lot, seems like Mercs 2 done right. The only thing missing is co-op, I honestly don't know why they didn't try to implement that.

So I started Paper Mario 2 over again, since I was a dumbfuck and for some reason deleted my original save, and kept all these shitty games on my memory card. That last part was a real fucking bitch too.
