YE YE, Pasidon inspired review, this is kind of a Rage Hammer, but from a perspective of mine due to me having a bit more knowledge than him on this game. All credits goes to Pasidon for creating the original bashing threads called " Rage Hammers "
Alright, let's get started. Many of you are wondering: " We already know it's pathetic, fuck off and go wank in the corner boy. ", least I thought that to be the case, till I meet 12 year olds fanboys that said it was " majestic. " Even my younger brother, who is 14 years old, plays it, the screenshots that are going to be arriving shortly are taken from his PC. WARNING: SPOILERS
1) Damage System
I just want to put this out, during every single one of my playtime during the game, the damage system annoyed me the most, for example, they introduced this system where a specific type of weapon deals alot of damage against this " type " of armour. Normally, this existed since Tiberium Dawn, but was the most polished in TW/KW. This time, it shows a special cursor when you attack, for example: Cannon deals high damage against medium armoured tanks/units, gun deals high against light units, etc... Things is, you have to get EVERY single high damage output unit or else if you spam specific cannon damaging tanks, you will lose, normally, this seemed like a great idea, till you realize that a big fucking cannon cannot even properly damage a small hovercraft such as a Talon, it's really fucked up.
2) Story-line
Alright, how great was the story of the Tiberium franchise and kane's wrath left a big mystery with legion's side of things that what will happen to the Tacitus next? it got everyone's interest in itself, then now here comes the sad excuse that is the " conclusion " to the Tiberium universe. First off: Introducing the wife for emotional manipulation, nobody cares EA about a fucking wife in a RTS game, what the fuck? second, it's bullshit how EA doesn't want Kane to tell everyone that he will ascend though the Scrin Tower using the TCN nodes and with him, Tiberium will disapper, it's that easy and there would have been no retaliation, ignoring the bullshit storyline that happened, we get though these missions which were pretty boring [ Although, the Nod missions were better than the GDI ones. ]. Let's skip to the last mission of Nod, which is x10 better than the last GDI mission. So, here are a couple of screenshots when we start the mission:
Pretty cool huh? it's Nod fighting to defend the TCN nodes which are essential to activate the Scrin Tower to achieve ascension. Now here's the pathetic part: This is the end mission of the long running franchise, what do we get? 3v3 versus ai's and the fighting system isn't even good. MANY people expected a fucking 5v5 [ Better optimized to not lag ] against GDI with the mission being at-least 3 hours long to complete and very difficult, we just get a Tower Defense game... GG EA, you fucking piece of garbage. Let's examine this 3v3, shall we?
Ok, so you can choose any MCV you want to choose and then you start the mission as " Green ", you have two allies, one is a Defense MCV commander " Orange ", another one who is a Support MCV commander " Red ", canonically you get to take the Offense MCV but you can take anything you want, it made me feel happy that in such a long time, we finally get to fight with allies in the campaign, but what do we get? two shitty ai's no matter the difficulty, why are they shitty you ask?? they are optimized to Easy-Medium ai's, not brutal as one would expect and in turn, they barely do damage unless you can support them, and if you're not quick enough to defend " Red ", he will die and you're left with 1 ai to help you against three GDI players, GDI on the other hand, are fucking monsters, they have such good defenses and units, I'm imagining if this is a 3v1 or not? here are some screen shots for you lovely people.
Two more main factors to be discussed, I'm too tired to write paragraphs right now and I wanna enjoy some KW's, I'll update this with new screenshots later on.
