$11? Jesus fuck. You could get overnight shipping at Gamestop for that much.The Yosemite Bear wrote:free shipping that wasn't free, (the subcontractor amazon used tagged on an extra $11, and CA sales tax, plus it's still not here)
Srtiously? I mean, yeah it works but that's like saying compared to a shit sandwich, a glass of piss, or generic disgusting energy drink, the energy drink wins.compared to its closest competitors (Supreme Commander 2 and Command & Conquer 4) Starcrafts SP is clearly superior.
You can definitely still get maximum research points regardless of which way you choose on the optional missions. By the end of the game I was selling extra research points to the Mobieus foundation for 10,000 credits a piece.Fingolfin_Noldor wrote:Spoiler

I never played C&C 4 and Supreme Commander 2, but I played C&C 3 and SupCom 1, these were quite excellent games. The sequels are that worse?General Schatten wrote:Srtiously?

C&C4 is C&C in name only, and SupCom 2 gutted and destroyed everything that was good about the first one, and forgot to replace it with other good things.Iosef Cross wrote:If Sc II is better than C&C 3 and SupCom, it is at least the best RTS in the last 5 years.

C&C4 is, as stated C&C in name only. Kane is never actually explained, more retarded ass mecha, no base building, gave it a unit cap, gave it an FPS level up-unlock system that makes it to where you have to grind levels to unlock units in multiplayer, for fuck's sake they couldn't even bother to give the characters decent uniforms for the videos.Iosef Cross wrote:I never played C&C 4 and Supreme Commander 2, but I played C&C 3 and SupCom 1, these were quite excellent games.

More like "jacked up Marine service uniform" (I think those are called Deltas? Not sure...) and Army ACUs with collar pins for...some reason.General Schatten wrote:Army Green Class A Uniforms and US Army ACUs...

Oh well I'll blame it on exhaustion. He's supposed to be a 'Chief Commander', whatever the fuck that is.But yeah, that's like no effort put into the costuming whatsoever. Does "Not a Marine" even have rank insignia? All I see is some funky looking thing I can't quite make out on his shoulder.
I can accept that, at least Red Alert followed C&C conventions and Red Alert is supposed to be tongue-in-cheek fun.Pelranius wrote:At least it wasn't those porno costumes that the cast of RA3 was cosplaying around in.
That's a myth popularized by idiotic game (p)reviewers. It's applicable to RA2, certainly, but not RA1.General Schatten wrote:I can accept that, at least Red Alert followed C&C conventions and Red Alert is supposed to be tongue-in-cheek fun.
Yes, the game about Einstein traveling back in time to kill Hitler with a deadly handshake leading to the rise of the Nod-controlled Soviet Union is deadly serious. Also, apocalypse tanks and tesla coils.TC Pilot wrote:That's a myth popularized by idiotic game (p)reviewers. It's applicable to RA2, certainly, but not RA1.
And that's any different than the Tiberium-verse with its, you know, tiberium how?adam_grif wrote:Yes, the game about Einstein traveling back in time to kill Hitler with a deadly handshake leading to the rise of the Nod-controlled Soviet Union is deadly serious.
Yeah, the Tiberium-verse had nothing like that. Oh wait, mammoth tanks and obelisks.Also, apocalypse tanks and tesla coils.
There's a difference between being outlandish and campy. Practically all RTSs are outlandish to some degree (Starcraft among them), but that doesn't mean they don't take themselves seriously.It may not have had the completely off-the-wall shit that RA2/3 had, but it was by no means playing it straight either.
