Red Alert 3

[AVC]

I used to play the Red Alert / Command & Conquer series to death.

My fave was prolly C&C Generals, then RA2. Wasn't a real fan of C&C3

Strangely, I only just found out that there was a RA3. I can pick up a copy for $10.
Should I do it? Has anyone played it?

 

[felon]

YES! They were my favourite games after i got past Age of empires buy it!

 

[stevo]

Havent played these games in years let me know how it is if you get it

RA3 got generally good reviews on gamespot.com. I only have C&C3& Kanes wrath expansion.

Sure. Why the hell not? You probably make more than 10 an hour so go for it.

Also if you dig strategy games, might i recommend Stronghold Crusader? Fantastic castle simulation. Simple to understand and use interface. But if you do, don't buy any stronghold games after crusader, as they are all crap. Q

I can't really ever get into RTS

 

[Sodalover]

Rts requires A lot of patience. Sometimes too much patience.

 

[DamageINC]

Yea i agree. Thats why i have trouble playing these games on a consistent basis. I have Starcraft 2, Supreme commander, Red Alert Kanes wrath etc. I always start with good intentions but never dedicate myself enough to playing them.

I'm downloading Red Alert 3 as i type this btw

 

[Sodalover]

Have fun raging in it. Also, just as an advice, do not get C&C 4. C&C 4 is

 

[DamageINC]

Yea i read all about C&C 4. Epic fail that was.

I don't rage too hard because i only play the AI lol. I can get games going over himachi though. I think thats what it's called.

 

[Sodalover]

Funny thing is c&c4 is cheaper than c&c3. That's how bad it was.

 

[DamageINC]

lol Well fk red alert 3! I've played five skirmishes on Medium and gotten owned hard. I'm not very good at these fast paced RTS, but usually i can beat the AI on medium or hard. I don't like all the different special abilities each unit has. It's way too much micromanaging for the very fast pace of the game. I'll keep at it for a while though.

Did any of you play Age of Mythology, that shit was the shiz!

 

[felon]

The cinematics <3 also a great way of learning about mostly Greek and some roman mythology.

 

[DamageINC]

I will check it out.

 

[felon]

it was kind of part of the age of empires series, so it isn't a new game, but still amazing.

 

[Sodalover]

Different series with different but similar gamepaly mechanics.

 

[RikuX2]

It was so badass. I can't count the amount of times i've used it's campaign as stories in exams and english tests.
