So I Bit the Bullet...

And bought command and conquer 4 for £5.99 over at greenmangaming.

At least now if I think it sucks I will only have wasted a tiny amount of money. Hey maybe I'll think its the best game I've ever played, and only for £5.99.

Downloading atm, I'll let you guys know what I think soon :cool:

Probably some multiplayer first if anyones still playing.

Sweet, nothing like playing a series of games defined for their base building, where the developers decided to remove the bases.

Maybe next we'll see some Total War games without the campaign map heheh.

My thinking is it'll be like dawn of war 2, and I thought that was pretty good.

Sadly nowhere near as good.

C&C4 was dire for a C&C game, made me very sad.

Kosmiche · 27 Jan 2012 at 08:48

Oh dear well at least I'll have the campaign to play.

Wait don't tell me thats **** too.

WiZZyWiGG · 27 Jan 2012 at 08:50

Ok I won't

Kosmiche · 27 Jan 2012 at 08:55

You won't tell me its ****?

Or you won't tell me its not ****?

Its the first one isnt it, damn.

oxygene · 27 Jan 2012 at 08:56

I think its safe to say, without fear of contradiction, that C&C4 is the most panned of the entire series.

About sums it up, sadly.

Kosmiche · 27 Jan 2012 at 09:08

NO!

I'll play it and see it as a revolution, this is the way forward for future C&C titles to be made in the future. It will be brilliant, I will revel in it, **** bases! Who needs bases! All we need is endless streams of units, yes lovely units and they crash into each other head on and sometimes even shoot lazers at each other.

EA killed any hope of C&C ever being a great game, they micked that franchise to death !

Yep.

Hey dont get me wrong Base Building isnt the be all and end all of RTS. I really enjoyed ground control, Dawn of War 2 and Total War games.

ABOMINATION!

insejn · 27 Jan 2012 at 10:20

Since Red Alert, the franchise seems to have sucked

Kosmiche · 27 Jan 2012 at 10:28

Yeah just had a brief skirmish, not good.

I made some tanks, and instead of big meaty boomy cannons they had weak puny pew pew lasers. Tanks with lasers, err no thanks. I want a BOOM not a pew pew pathetic firework display.

Seriously if the tanks went BOOM it might be a decent game.

Kosmiche · 27 Jan 2012 at 10:30

Well at least we have generals 2 to look forward to which will be nothing like this game.

Always try games for yourself. I nearly avoided Supreme Commander 2 because of what people said on here, but when I bought it I freaking loved it. Same goes for Alien vs Predator, everyone said it was dire yet it was one of my most played games.

MooMoo444 · 27 Jan 2012 at 11:13

There's a C&C4?

They made a fourth game but it wasn't C&C..

I think most people agree, on its own Supreme Commander 2 is an ok game. Compared to Supreme Commander 1, it doesnt live up to its predecessor at all in any way.
