Random Rants XVII: Rage Against the Machine

Tee Kay · Oct 3, 2009

I've just found out what EA is planning to do with Command and Conquer 4. :cringe:

Is Command and Conquer the one that had 3 civs? Because if so, are they going to have 2 civs next time? (Us and the terrorists)

Or maybe 1 civ: (Uhmerka)

And have the other nations as barbs.

Just felt a big quake. If I'm not post 12 hours from now, Darwin's been flattened by a Tsunami. Personally, it wouldn't be a big loss for humanity, but I would be. I'm also slightly depressed because I quite liked Padang

Wasn't 3 supposed to have been the last one? Meh, Red Alert 2 was the last one of those games I would have bought, all since have looked like crap.

Oh, and I only just woke up at 12:55. :mad:

waste of most of the day. I wouldn't mind as much but I had stuff to do today and I'll probably be leaving home by like 5:30 or something for the Islander home opener.

I thought it was just so you guys would have something to whine about once you get 'forced' to do it?

First of all, what's a pop bottle?

Second, It's called women's work for a reason, and in my experience women need to get back to work.

Seriously? pop = soda.

Second, not in my world. If he was paying all the bills, then maybe, but that's not the case.

Ah! So it seems you've seen all this yourself, too. Why did you do nothing about it?

The problem is that I did clean all that stuff up. Again. I always end up doing all that stuff. And it's annoying; he shouldn't need to be reminded about stuff that gets done everyday, and certainly shouldn't need to be told to look after his pets.

imo generals was pretty good, even if it doesn't follow the standard command and conquer formula.

Dump that ungrateful SoFD. Or at least, go out of town for a week or two and have him experience just how much he relies on you. If he hasn't realised it by then he's not worth the trouble girl

Why must we get in trouble for triggering the new autocensor when making

appear is so much fun?

videos on youtube are taking forever to load for two days in a row now. :mad:

Islanders got cheated out of a point.

Unfortunately yes. The Scrin won't be playable any more apparently. It will just be GDI and Nod as playable factions.

Apparently CnC4 will be the end of the Tiberium Series (or at least the Kane arc). That this could be the end of Nod is bad enough, but then EA had to:

- get rid of Tiberium harvesting. It's been a feature of all CnC games since 1995.
- get rid of base building. That's been a feature of all prior CnC games as well.
- Instead, you have to select as one of three "classes" to play with, with pre-defined roles.
- introduce a goddamn population limit. :mad:

- make it playable online only.

Also, I sense that EA will screw up the canon, again.

Hopefully it will turn out to be a good game, but considering the scope of change and how EA have handled the series so far, I'm not very optimistic.
