  • This is a video I have wanted to make for a long time about the worst game I've ever played. Worse than Halo 5, far worse than Halo Infinite...Command and Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight was not only a spit in the face to the fans but also what killed the franchise once loved by so many.
    Screw you EA.
    RIP Westwood.
    CNC 4 is not canon. Or real. (well sadly it is)

    EA forcing devs to release a half bake game and or different game that ended up killing the franchise. WHAT IMPOSSIBLE!
    Jokes aside Command and Conquer 4 was definitely and unexpected one haha. Very original for a worst game of all time.

    I agree with you on most points, but there are some I don't understand. The C&C series generally never really bothers to tell who your protagonist is, dunno why you mention this now with this game. As for you talking about some content being locked behind classes, that sounds like the concept of sub-factions and some C&C games like Red Alert 2 and C&C 3 even use this concept. Sub-factions exist to have a different arsenal that suit your playstyle.

    • @BrokenCircle1
      @BrokenCircle1  Рік тому +12

      True with the sub factions thing but they still didn't lock a third of the games units it was just a few that were more extra per say.
      I guess the protagonist thing bothered me so much because they tried so hard to personify him by giving him a wife and really dramatized that up.
      Thanks for watching.

    C&C4 was actually a game EA got the assets to (was some sort of Moba game that they got and randomly tried to make some money out of)
    They went all in on the Moba craze seeing dollar signs, added rushed cutscenes, recycled stuff from their cancelled game Tiberium and did what suits do when it all goes to shit, blame the studio
    Though I think a suit at EA hated C&C and wanted an excuse to kill it off

    Unironically the game was a lot of fun in multiplayer when it was still populated. Had it been released as a free to play online only game like it was originally intended to have been I wouldn't hate it nearly as much. I don't blame the developers though. It was never supposed to be a sequel. The decision to close the studio was made long before the game released and EA forced the devs to create a 'campaign' in a few weeks, slap a price tag on it and push it out as a sequel.

    a mobile unit that can spawn troops is an interesting idea but replaying the traditional base building for this? What were they thinking?

    • @BrokenCircle1
      @BrokenCircle1  Рік тому +2

      They had mobile units as bases in Tiberian Sun Firestorm and they were great but as you said they should be in addition to bases not replacements.
      I think a special unit that can spit put infantry is great. Halo Wars 1 does this with the Elephant unit. It can dispense infantry anywhere on the field but cannot upgrade them, is slow, and expensive to produce to balance it out.

Evry time the wife got mentioned, he'd take a shot.

    I remember watching a lore breakdown of C&C tiberian timeline and i seem to recall the llayer actually being a cyborg that contains cabal but im not 100% on that.
    As for the protagonist not bring named, someone did mention it here already but only in tiberoum sun i believe you actually are given a backstory n stuff but everything else is basically "Commander"
    EA lost the plot a bit before this came out and it shows. Honestly if they did a remaster of the OG games on steam im sure people would applaud them for it. Hell the original 2 were a huge hit when they did the remasters on them. Games we want remastered never will be yet they will spit out remakes for games that are still perfectly servicable and playable. The absolute state of the games industry

    That was interesting. Definitely glad I haven’t played that game. The extent of my knowledge of Command and Conquer is it’s an rts series that exists (wasn’t aware there were multiple timelines until recently) and that people started memeing one of Jordan Peterson’s meltdowns using C&C (“and I would rather die than delete that tweet….up yours woke moralists we’ll see who cancels who”. Peterson seriously NEEDS to be taken off the Internet for his own good. He now wants anonymous speech to be banned because the “anonymous troll demons” and “lol seeking dementors” have been sending spicy memes his way. He also posted that bizarre Dmilking tweet thinking it was some kind of dystopian lab experiment🤣).
    It’s too bad that EA has killed so many franchises due to greed an incompetence at the very top. Luckily we’ve had some remakes of bug games, but unless they have a MAJOR change in leadership things won’t get better.
    You should make videos on different things that you like. I’m sure that would be better for your mental health and more fun than having to rant the whole time about something that has continually disappointed you.

    • @BrokenCircle1
      @BrokenCircle1  Рік тому +3

      Don't you worry I have many things planned. Many cool things.
      I don't know loads about Jordan Peterson. I have seen some memes with him and I have seen him make sense and sound insane at the same time. I don't understand why people follow him like he's some kind of cult leader.

    • @shreksnow1918
      @shreksnow1918 Рік тому +1

      That’s good to hear. Hopefully you’ll be able to make content that makes you happy. Focusing too much on something negative isn’t very healthy for the mind (I’m not doing what some of the regards in the comment section of your newer videos are doing where they say “we need to bring back positivity and how dare you criticize the company”. I’m just saying constantly being enraged will eat away at your mental health).
      I saw your latest stuff and it was interesting. Wasn’t aware that 343 did all that stuff because admittedly I haven’t done a whole lot of research into how the company operates.
      I personally wouldn’t go that far. You’re making the mistake of ascribing way too much competence to the man. A far more accurate description is to say that he’s one of many Internet Daddies for the “Lost Boys”. He’s a lolcow similar to Mr Enter (the guy who raged that Turning Red movie didn’t have 9/11 as the main focus😂) where most of the time he’s very very boring and is not worth watching. But, just like Mr Enter he’ll occasionally have an AMAZING dumpster fire/meltdown. His regard audiences are also super annoying and think that clean your room is a profound statement even though it’s a very basic thing they should’ve already been doing. Also, a lot of Peterson’s critics are guilty of many of the same things they harass Peterson for, like h3h3 being a hypocrite who cries whenever you mention he also had a problem with pill popping. He also simped hard for Jordan back when dunking on sjws was the big thing to do, and now that that grift is no longer profitable he snakes Peterson and started alogging him. If you look at Jordan Peterson’s older stuff before he had his Benzos/Xanax addiction and was sent to Russia for an experimental detox treatment by his daughter it is a night and day difference. He used to be fairly rational and well spoken, but now he cries ALL THE TIME and spergs out whenever he faces the slightest bit of pushback. The whole thing is a dumpster fire and if his daughter actually loved him she’d stop putting him on all these weird diets that make him act erratically, but she’d rather just use his clout for her own gain.
      Recently on Steam the game Tempest Rising released a demo you might want to check out since the game is C&C in everything but name. Haven’t played it, but from what I’ve heard it’s really good for the most part.

    This video needs a part 2 electric boogaloo where you talk about that new mobile game. I saw some guy analyzing it and he was pointing out how they straight up ripped off designs from Halo. There’s these yellow drop pods that looks EXACTLY like the ODST drop pods and their introduction scene is a carbon copy of the H2A cutscene where they land on the Ring. He was also saying that most of the characters are just names that don’t match up with who they’re supposed to be, and that the only one who actually looks on point is Kane. It’s amazing just how big of a dumpster fire that thing it. It would be interesting to see which of these two games is worse. Although, I highly doubt you’ll play it because it looks like a complete dumpster fire😂
    I recently watched some lore videos about C&C and I thought it was really interesting how the setting is actually VERY dark. It just has a wacky over the top tone that distracts you from just how truly horrible the world they live in is. You have endless wars where both sides are expending resources and men fighting over super crystals that are killing the planet. Tiberium has caused an ecological apocalypse on par with Half-Life 2’s beta where the combination of the Combine draining earth’s resources/terraforming it and the rampant Xen infestation has rendered the place uninhabitable and destroyed the ecology. There’s also stuff like cyborgs that have no free will similar to the 40K Servitors. Most of the population are living in places that are slowly killing/mutating them. It is not a world you’d want to live in.
    You should make a video talking about what your ideal C&C game would be like. That would be interesting to see.
    It’s really a shame that this series is now dead. There’s a lot of really good ips that are dead because the people in charge are regards or the devs ran into financial trouble. Thankfully there’s this new game called Tempest Rising made by THQ Nordic that’s basically C&C in everything but name. There’s a demo on Steam you can try out. Hopefully it turns out to be really good.

      The redesigns I have mixed feelings about. I love the APCs though the pitbulls sucked. I do miss the old hover tanks and walkers. The Nod redesign 100% sucked. I VASTLY proffered the TB Sun versions but to be fair there was a big change from TB Dawn to Sun so I took it more as just further changes.
      The Scrin...yeah fair point. I never minded them but 100% see where yourre coming from. I would have liked something a bit different that fit the theme of them that we saw briefly in previous games.
