This spring, offered quite a few disappointments: Silent Hunter 5 (completely bugged), settlers 7 (once again changed the game concept with no emergency) or Final Fantasy 13 (the first game where you only need the X button). But just so excited I about Command & Conquer 4th EA has managed the feat of a seemingly indestructible core of game series completely and rob all their fascination with a terrifying ... and thoroughness.
"Chief, chief, our new quarterly figures are there." Excited jumps of dynamic young CEO of Junior Development, Marketing & other important things, in short Intern called around before his Lord and Master. "All our new PC-games run great. Sims is a sales record after another. Fifa brings coal without end and Dragon Age runs like hot cakes. Obviously, the PC gaming market is not dead yet! "What?" Yells the top henchman. "We have brought us Sun Money for expensive on-line copy protection, our bow designers have even made overtime and now this? Then we have to implement Plan C, "" Plan C "puzzled the junior trainee. "Yes, you immediately throw out the old C & C team and make any muddleheads one that something completely new to, daring to try and of course bad. They should then Tiberian Twilight vorknöpfen and ruin. The PC world will never be the same after that. . Muhahahahaha "From the depths of the EA Keller roars sinister organ sound and then everything is quiet ... Everything else - everything worse
How did this interview I just made up? Maybe, some other explanation I can think but do not see why EA totally unnecessarily C & C 4: Tiberian Twilight has botched t so. Or was it easier for fans to bid farewell to the series only, because considering that the indeed be the last part? However, the fact is that one is already confronted the same in the very first mission solo campaign with the innovations in gameplay. Gone are the days of well-maintained base construction, the Harvester, the Tiberium degrade as raw material and the beautiful Rush at your opponent when your army was aufgepeppelt beautiful. Instead, there are now predetermined command points that can exchanged for units. The all come from a crawler (building construction, there are no more), a type mobile base that can move throughout the battlefield. Well, here we are with this new experience: As it says where Command & Conquer is sometimes quite different there.
This is not C & C: is from the original game mechanics and the famous interface nothing left ... only image left over from its predecessor. Yawning to victory
For through these changes is Tiberian Twilight rather Dawn of War used as one's own ancestors, whether GDI / Nod or Red Alert . However, it plays much more boring and ponderous. Since the command points never run out and will not be expanded or reduced by battlefield losses, most battles are developing Gähnnummer. It simply sends its Folks towards enemy and look how far they come. If its troops wiped out, just to build new and repeat the game. Enemy attacks on its own crawler can easily by one, two steps back ward held units. Keep the enemy on until you have produced yourself supplies. Depending on crawler type (there are offensive, defensive and support) can also defenses, that is, build laser and missile turrets. Who makes the need no longer retained the reserve.
The 14 missions (seven on each side) are as short as boring. Most chug along the direction of enemy and friendly units, we will send reinforcements as soon as they wiped out be. Very rarely is there even a time limit, but this is always so generous that never threatens to pay hectic. Those like me who has a rainy Easter morning long time, the final sequence from each side gets to see, and even on the highest of three levels of difficulty.
No Celebrities - no voltage
we come to the next weak point of the story. Originally the time the pound, which could grow the C & C series. was a part of the bombastic with elaborate videos staged tale of the GDI and the Brotherhood of Nod, the salt in the C & C-soup. What C & C without Kane and his striking Bald? He even had prominent Hollywood counterparts, such as Michael Biehn Tiberian Sun or Jennifer Morrison and Tricia Helfer in Tiberium Wars . Very little remains of it. Man looks at the boring, very static video that they were produced cheaply and with a couple of nobodies. Only Kane survived to the unglamorous end to waste any more words. Just this: Seldom have so yawned.
Then go cry: The actors are all third class (or looks like a general?), The quality of the videos also. Not to mention the lame story altogether. remains Beyond the disappointment of a solo fairly decent multiplayer part, which is likely, however, find maps constructed by the bored little friends. In addition, the gathered current competition offers much more. Therefore remains for me the Easter experience that all times must end. But so miserably, it would not really have to fail. I'm going to cry a little now and again krame out the C & C collection, which is the time appeared to mark the tenth anniversary of the series. And dearly hope that Blizzard does not Starcraft 2 committing kamikaze ... (Quick Mick)
