~ Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight ~

What they are doing is basically removing everything I liked about C&C.



Let's start with what I see that I like: I like the storyline (I don't know it yet, but I like that they are continuing the story). I like... graphics, I guess. And... that's about it for what I can see...

Let's go with what I don't like:
1. The need to always be online just to play. This is just stupid. It's not an issue for me at the moment here, but imagine if I were at home, how am I supposed to play with that Internet connection?

2. Population Cap. I'll boldly say I'm not very good at RTSes, or any game in particular, so I loved the C&C series because strategy is sometimes not really needed. C&C3 was the best when I built a humongous army of Mammoths and just steamrolled over the enemies. Now that there's a cap, it's going to be a bitch that I cannot just steamroll the enemy anymore.

3. Base Building. They removed base building. B-a-s-e b-u-i-l-d-i-n-g. How is this C&C anymore?

4. Superweapons is limited... why? WHY? Give everyone a different superweapon. Don't limit it.

5. No resource gathering. !!??!??!??!?!??! What are you doing to C&C you stupid fools! I can't even collect Tiberium anymore!? What is this!?

Everything I hear about it just sounds horrible. And unlike some other companies which have warranted the right to make changes and still make a fun game, these moves just seem too drastic to actually work.

I think they are pushing it to be more multiplayer friendly. But face it, you can probably never fight the popularity of the other more popular and more strategy intensive RTSes out there.

Anyway, it may be a fun game, it may be not. When I've played it, I'll probably bitch and moan about it then. I'm bitching and moaning about it now because I can't play it now and I'm seriously pissed that they don't really care for the single player gamers out there anymore (Which may be a dying breed now, I don't know).

I go listen to some drums drumming. (That, is another issue altogether... hahaha...)
