Games are all about graphics!

i love Rts games , but i hate Bad rts games, i used to play C&C Red alert 2 all day when i was a kid and lately i tryed ra3, what a terrible surprise, the game is far from what i expected, while the graphics are good, they dont stand out much compared to c&c generals, its the same graphic engine, a little bit better , but nothing special, however while the graphics are nice, the gameplay is HORRIBLE!

when i was playing ra2 the game was going on a little bit faster, everything was moving fast, base were blooming like shrooms , units where killed fast if you used the right weapon against em,ressources bulid up fast, unit move quickly from one spot to another... and such, but ra3 is like warcraft 3...everything is SLOOOOOOOW, and DUMB!!!, if your not watching your troops they get decimated with no effort, its simple,,,they just stand there while being killed! tanks get shot by rockets? no problem they will just take a nap and wait till they get blown up, same goes for infantry , planes and whatever giant robots they added, i never saw units be so dumb! sometime they simply dont follow commands at all, you tell em to attack and it take like a thousand clicks so that one in your entire group start firing, while the others are drooling there...waiting to be killed.

this game is a total mess, and the worst part is they made an expansion

today games suck...they are all about graphics and dumb gameplay

change of subject, an update onface expressions, tell me what you think.

ah, yes i was a bit dissapointed with RA3 as well, personly i think Zero Hour is actually one of the best C&C ever.

When Electronic arts bough Westwood studios,they Killed C&C. RA2 was the last game worthly of being called C&C.

ahahah,probably because of the filters i used to clean the picture, the original picture was drawn on a yellow sheet of paper with blue stripes.

i don't know, i liked Zero Hour alot.

but it wasn't the same as RA2

Tiberuim Sun had a ton of potential, but EA made Westwood rush it, and it never was truly finished.

ever played dawn of war or starcraft? good games thou starcraft is a bit old but is one of the few that was out when the N64 was and still sells today.
And I feel your pain graphics good gameplay zero I miss the good old days.
but I've never played C&C from what I heard I dont think I want to now.

oh nice job on the drawings.

Dawn of waris m y favorite of all time, but there is almost no internet compettitions, unlike ra2. and its a different kind of strategy game,wich i believe more game developpoers should get inspired of,as for starcraft, you might get surprised, but i never really appreciated the game, because its totally unbalanced,like every blizzard's game. most blizzard's game are really overworked , nice graphics , perfect gameplay BUT there is always one camp or faction or classe ( depending on the game) that is more powerful than the others, and when they make a patch to fix a serious game imbalance, they always create anonther, so when its not the toss its the zergs when its not the zergs its the necros if its not the necros, its the dk or the rogues, every blizzard game suffer so much of game imbalance that, its almost as it was intentionnal, so when playing thoses games on the internet, everyone is always playing the imba strat or the imba class and the game get boring after a few hours cuz its always the same thing happening over and over again till the next patch change the dance.

the zerg buid to fast.(can take you out before you can build cheap I know)
the protoss are to power full.(wait to long and you cant win when fighting this race)
the human are an equal balance.(well not realy eqaul but)
ya I still like it starcraft 2 is comeing hopeful they fixed all this.

dawn of war best one out there mabye to fast for some but great game.
I want to get dawn of war 2 but all I got is dawn of war dark crusade.
I love the mods for this game as well I have 4 that add a new race.

the only big problem i found in Dow was the low population...you cant bulid more than 20 infantry and 20 vehicles, and when most infantry take 2 pop slots and tanks take 4-6 slots ...you always end up with a small squad that cant cover and defend your whole territory, and in dow , territory = ressources, so its kinda ironic to limit population when covering a large territory to sustend a big army...anyway the main good point of dow was its individual unit AI, in this game you dont get dumb troops that take a nap while they get fired upon, and they alwasy move in formation, each covering each others, and they can move AND fire, wich for some dumb reason some very actual games dont feature
Dow also took in account terrain cover, wich was designed more deeply than just the classical elevation/high position avantage, in that game grass gave some cover, water gave movement disavantage and cover penalty, standing inside a buliding's ruin gave extra cover, even a lone standing pillar gave cover,no other rts game was pushed that far, if you compare most dow innovations and then look at other games, the other games actually whent backward, like in the ra3 case , where its predecessor was better on most key features, like gampeplay, individual unit ai , and game balance

in short ra3 is less of a game but with better graphics...EA is running in place like always.
