So.. is it good?

[Mecharion]

Thinking about buying since i would Love to play a good rts.

What do you think. Is it good? If yes - why, If Not - why Not?

Thx :)

Yes.

It´s minimal as good as the early C&C games, if not better in long terms.
I have played 3 campaign-missions yet, they´re quite challenging especially running some secondary goals in time.
Overall the game looks great, the AI doesn´t block each other and often attacks primary targets by itself. That you´re able to get some passives between missions is a nice feature aswell.

If you look for multiplayer mostly, there aren´t that many maps imo. But it´s still fun and future updates will come for sure. A 3rd faction will also come.

I´m sure you won´t regret to try it.

Path is workable, but it is clonky at times. Like gates not owning or weird pathing related to gates. or unit getting stuck when trying to pass something narrow.

But I dont regreat buying it, still better pathing then sc1 xD

Its mediocre, not bad at all but leaves a lot to be desired. The next big thing it is certainly not.

[Vodka]

It is good. Because... every aspect of it is good....
Good graphics.
Good music.
Good story.
Fun gameplay.
Runs well on an 8 year old toaster.
The only potential downside is that it plays quite fast. So if you like your strategies slow this might be a problem.

If you're familiar with C&C and want more of it with a modern coat of paint then you'll like it 100%. However, if you're expecting a cutting edge RTS that innovates on the genre while being original, then I wouldn't recommend it.

very good, stop thinking and join the GDF

There is a special feeling when the music kicks in to some amped up segment and you start blowing up everything on screen.

[Maatrac]

i've a slightly different opinion about the game.

its definitely not as good as westwoods c&c games, not even by a long shot. THAT SAID, you've to compare those games around their respective release dates and not today.

what i mean is.. lets say tiberian sun, my most favorite c&c, which if i remember correctly was released sometime in 1998, was a milestone in gaming for its time. i remember buying a new pc and the game on its release date and absolutely loving the game and playing it for months. it was a masterpiece for 1998.

for today it definitely isn't a masterpiece anymore (obviously). its clunky dated etc.

same goes for all other westwood c&c games. on their release dates they were true masterpieces. now, 25-30 years later they obviously aren't anymore.

now lets compare that to tempest rising.. tempest rising is obviously much better in terms of gameplay and QOL now than those c&c games are because those games are, as said, 25-30 years old, from the stoneage of pc gaming.

but tempest rising isn't a masterpiece for todays standards. its a good game, its fun and well made and its the best c&c copy since the originals, no doubt about that. the devs pulled that off and they made a great game, but if we compare tempest rising today with the westwood c&c games on their release dates, tempest rising is only good and not more than that ;)

additionally, outside of the extremely dated gameplay, the westwood c&c games still have some aspects that are better than tempest rising is, even despite their age.

the campaign presentation is much better in those c&c games. the real life actors are insane compared to the rather bland campaign presentation that tempest rising has. i still remember cutscenes from the original c&c games, they were that good. i don't remember cutscenes from yesterday from tempest rising anymore though because the campaign presentation and story is lacking a lot.

furthermore, tempest rising has literally NO content outside of its campaign.. those 9 multiplayer and skirmish maps are honestly pathetic. only 3 of them are 4 player maps, which is ridiculous and the other 6 are 1vs1 maps -.- all of them are mediocre at best and outside of those meager 9 maps the game offers absolutely nothing anymore.

thats quite disappointing tbh. they should have either added a random map generator or made much more maps for the release. they should have re-designed hte campaign maps for multiplayer because the campaign maps are far superior to the skirmish/multiplayer maps ;)

at least thats my take regarding this topic

As someone who loved C&C to his core, co-ran a fansite (CNCNZ), and I've even have been to the now defunct EALA twice, and met Joseph Kucan (Kane) in person.... YES!

This game has done something that ex-Westwood Developers Petroglyph have failed to do.... and that is create a game like Command & Conquer, that is everything that game is, but in name. If you like or love C&C, then buy this game!

If you're a C&C fan this is a no brainer. Take it from a 38 year old who grew up on the franchise ;)

You're a man of culture. I'm gonna award you some points for that alone. Tib Sun was the pinnacle of the series for me. Red Alert 2 was good, but it wasn't Tib Sun good.

I'm loving it. Currently on the 9th mission for Dynasty and it's been great.
