C&C Generals

[GenghisK]

The sequel to Tiberian Sun is absolutely awesome. Actually I never, but never ever ever liked the C&C saga because I found it less fun than Blizzard counterparts and the interface sucked (left click to attack instead of right click) and even Tiberian sun was awful when I tried. But I must admit that Generals, although it still remains a C&C game with its look and feel, is really worth the shot. Yum yum! I think I'll pause Warcraft 3 for a little bit and switch to the dark side of the force, playing westwood games

Wow, sweet pics GK....from a game you were playing? I might have to try this out along with MOO3.

I only seem to be able to get movies reliably nowadays, not games - need to talk to you about that.

I've been thinking about getting this game as well. It looks pretty graphics-intensive though..do you think a PIII 800 Mhz with 384 RAM and a crappy video card will run it?

hey it runs aom and sc4 at least

If only my dad would let me get more games!

I think I have 200.

=> Munzetty Now those are not my screenshots. Because when I play I just have no time to take them, since the action is intense
=> Others: well my 1700+ XP Athlon and ATI 8500 pro suffered a lot so I cannot guarantee anything on a mere 800Mhz chip...

I thought so. I was wondering why they seemed strangely familiar...

You are very right. I think I would pass on this one anyway...I have too many RTS games on my hands already.

I didn't find it that good, delete the same day I installed it on my computer. But that's probaply because I don't fancy RTS too much, tired of the genre way back in the day when everyone was playing Dune II (that was a sweet game, but also too lineary, by that I mean every game session there was, there were pretty much the same stuff to do).

But I can see if you like RTS and have a fast computer with a expensive graphics card then u are the right man for the job to play C&C Generals, if not don't bother with this game.

wow! I want it!

GK, did they fix the a$$-backward interface? I hated C&C's method of controlling units. Not to mention that they were butt-stupid. Only if directly attacked would they counter-attack.

The nice thing about Blizzard and Age of __ games is the interface (very easy to select units) and if buddies are being attacked, they would too.

 

[GenghisK]

Well not really... That's why I said also I always hated C&C left click way. Blizzard right click was wat better. And total anhilation allowed to choose which one we liked best... But well in C&C you could select more than 12 units

 

[GenghisK]

Mmmm, I finally uninstalled C&C.. Was getting too boring. I still prefer Warcraft 3...

 

[Lord_Vetinari]

I gave up on Westwood with Tiberian Sun. I still can't believe how much that game sucked....

Perhaps I would have tried this one if they had changed that crappy interface they've been using all along.

So... Doesn't this mean you should change the Message Icon in the first post to a thumbs down?

 

[GenghisK]

Yeah

Yeah, very funny indeed.

Sad though that this will give it an immense popularity boost.

Just played through the Chinese campaign. Awesome game!

 

[polymath]

I have done the American missions, and am now halfway through the Chinese missions - this game rules!

 

[covok48]

Too bad it's a system hog, otherwise I'd buy the game.

RA1 was great. 2 was nice. This is just awful. Boring units, hard to control (why the hell is the camera so close to the surface?) and the most annying thing - it's VERY VERY VERY slow. I tell a unit to move somewhere and it takes forever for it to do that! Eeven on the highest speed it's still so awfully slow.
