Wait, the campiness is unintentional?

Surely not. No-one in history can have done something so consistently while still doing it unintentionally.

C&C’s story line is hilarious.

Spoiler: Seth is the Emperor of the Scrin!

Spoiler #2: The Scrin infect Earth with Tiberium so they can harvest it for mood crystals for their New Age shops.

C&C Generals and Zero Hour are some of the most fun I’ve ever had RTS gaming with friends. The Boss Generals mod easily takes the cake as the best play design improvements in a mod I’ve ever seen.

What ruined Generals for me was the mysterious, undiagnosable, unpredictable, unavoidable “mismatch error” that would eventually turn up in multiplayer. Once a box started to get the mismatches, it was pretty much screwed for life, and only a fresh windows install could bring relief, if you were very lucky, and maybe also switched OS’s and sacrificed some small animals.

When the subsequent games came out with the same engine, and some of the same networking issues, I decided to never purchase any. The mismatch error was pure soul sucking evil, and I spent far far far too much time fighting this demon.

I am cured of my interest in C&C. R.I.P. Westwood.

Less camp?

Monkey balls. I’m not a fan of RTS games, but have bought every C&C game so far, precisely for that reason. I loved the original’s camp cutscenes. For a game that was so good to take itself with so little seriousness really felt great. Shame that they now think they have to be ‘darker and edgier’ for we all know what that means when sequels go in that direction…

Nicko, was that a reference to real genius?

“It goes from God, to Jerry, to Me”
“Take my shirts to the cleaners, and never call me Jerry, ever”
“I guess it goes from God, to Jerry, to you, to the cleaners” *smirk*

Somebody asked why games always come with a subtitle. It’s a marketing thing. Both movies and games sell better with a subtitle or something. I know it sounds like bollocks but it’s the same thing in design where some douche will tell you that ‘This years colour is yellow’. From the outside it seems totally arbitrary. Maybe once I’ve been inside the design machine for a while I can report back on it’s arbitraryness.

Many years ago now there was a plan to only make 3 C&C games, they were supposed to be dawn, sun and twilight.

I’m really supprised they haven’t just called it twilight and I’m not sure why…
