Generals deserves to be remembered. It is iconic for the Command and Conquer franchise. I still play it and it aged perfectly.

Games are basically considered "toys" (and thus "for children") by the German government. They aren't subject to the same free speech protections that films are. Thus it's *ludicrously* surprising that they relaxed on Fallout 4 and other gory titles.

I don't think i ever did a full playthrough of this game, mostly multiplayer and skirmish, things i loved about it; - it being over the top, - the super weapons, - as china taking over the other factions giving you access to all super weapons, - gla slaves saying things like "ouch ok ok" with a very cheesy middle eastern accent, - gla's angry mob units :) As for zero hour, I'm not quite sure if i ever played it.

My favourite lines have to be from the GLA, really shows how fragile unity within that organization is due to the polar opposites they have strapped to the same green flag Also as for the story, the GLA is a very loose coalition of freedom fighters, warlords, Mad scientists, religious fanatics, syndicates, disgruntled militant activists and their supporters from all around the world, as a result of being that disunited they don't actually have a set goal besides "liberation" until a lone Warlord forcibly unites them in Zero Hour and then "liberates" Europe. Mind you, this happened after the USA pulled out dictators in the middle east comparable to the Arab Spring and after China forced it's influence over South East Asia (namely, by annexing Taiwan before the US could react). Oh, and Aldastan As to why both would do that and wreck europe with wacky weapons of mass destruction? Cause why the hell not?

Your review presented a different perspective on this game. People seem to forgive a lot of stuff that this game has, be it graphics, racism or other things you mentioned, may be due to nostalgia, but it is there, you're right it does poke a little fun rather than offend people. The game is still live and being played all over the world; some KZfaq channels depend on this game entirely. The game plays amazingly, with some bugs here and there, it is a challenge for most people. The most annoying bug sometimes can occur on maps with large amount of units with crazy FPS drops even on high end machines to this day.

Sort of. This runs on the SAGE engine, which went on to power the rest of the C&C games, but it's basically an updated, rebranded version of the Westwood 3D engine that Emperor used.

Have to dissagree on the USA resource issue. GLA relies on the scrap ability and derricks, their one money gernealing building only does 20$ bucks. CHina is the fastests with the hackers but they are vunerable. USA has the best. get enough supplu drops and you are fine. Just make sure you have atlest one goign before you run out of supplies.

The campaign and the Zero Hour "challenge missions" are locked at 30fps, but in skirmish there is a bar with which you can set the game's FPS to any value 30, 60 etc. or even unlimited (which is how much your PC can push).

I always found it interesting how this game was received. I bought it day one, giant box and everything because I loved the C&C series so far, TS and RA2 being some of my favourite games of all time, also had a soft spot for RA:Retaliation on PS1 for introducing me to the series. But when I got Generals... Man I was disappointed, I guess it just wasn't what I was expecting at the time and my preconceptions ruined it for me. Maybe I should go back to this, in retrospect it can't be as bad as C&C4... XD

@DWTerminator
@DWTerminator 8 жыл бұрын
Yes, it's better. Tiberium Wars is really just Generals re-skinned and with far less personality. RA3's only real asset is its sense of humor, since as an RTS it's pretty underwhelming. C&C is only held on such a high pedestal because of nostalgia and the early titles' vital role in the early days of RTS's. Once other RTS's showed up, C&C quickly became the "poor man's" RTS series.

Hate this game. It should not be called C&C at all. And the 3D sucked, even at day one! Another game that should be in 2D first and foremost, even if its just for overview reasons. The camera was so close to the ground, so zoomed in, i was more scrolling than actual playing the damn garbage game. Nothing in this game felt good, or even remotely enjoyable. To hell with it and EA!!
