EA has bought so many good game studios and forced them to make shitty games and then closed those studios because the shit games that they forced them to make didn't turn a profit, i played Red Alert 2 so much and had so much fun and knowing we'll never get anything like that again makes me want to launch all these life sucking corporate ghouls into the void.
I just replayed all of the mass effect games and dragonage games about a year or 2 ago, once Saudi Arabia bought EA I was like, welp, there goes that. (PIF can suck my DIF)
Now with Bioware being closed, glimmer of hope a new powerhouse independent studio pops up.
Honestly, is Andromeda worth playing? That’s the only one I haven’t finished but do have it downloaded
It has a different feel than 3 does, but I liked it as it's own thing.
I definitely recall the ship bugged me a little more, the beginning you're forced to navigate it and that bugged me. There are a lot of good aspects to it. If you like the series it definitely deserves a play. When I was playing and reading reviews I felt many reviews were overly critical and not really accurate. More popular to bash it, etc.
I've eventually managed to play it through to the end, there's some enjoyment but it's such a forgettable experience to me. Maybe I've misunderstood it, one day i'll give it another go. It has very little to do with the original trilogy, in anything except name and some references. Combat isn't too bad but the story is not that compelling
As an FYI, I've been having a blast with Tempest Rising, it's not exactly like Red Alert but it's definitely got that old school C&C vibe to it.
I played it and it is good but i grew up playing Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2 so that might be why it doesn't click with me, it's too much like Red Alert 3 and apart from Tim Curry (R.I.P.) it didn't take long for me to be bored of it.
Tiberium Wars was kinda the last game from EA in this genre that i would call good and i won't even bother mentioning the garbage that EA made afterwards.
TR did get some updates so i might revisit it and see how it clicks.
I second that. Frank Klepacki delivered some very good tracks on that title too!
Well now I'm definitely getting it!
You didn't like Generals?! /s
I spent so much time modding Generals and it was fun BUT it had a problem that's present even today that if you play longer it would get slower and slower and eventually crash, there might be a fix but i haven't bothered to check for the past 20 years.
Hence my /s
The mass-unit slowdown was terrible, sadly because the mods were epic
