Wow, the script/acting is horrible

I thought RA3 sucked, but damn GDI campaign is filled with cringe material all over it.

EA games. Challenge everything.

That's the point, it's supposed to be hammy

EA thought what made the original games good was the terrible scripts and acting, so they placed more emphasis on that.... They got carried away in RA3. Nod campaign is actually okay, but how can you ♥♥♥♥ up what is basically nod fanboy propaganda.

I don't see how people can claim that C&C had terrible scripting/acting. That is only the case for post-Westwood C&C.

I must agree...Westwood had a lot of effort put into their movies, it was not just a green screen and cringeworthy acting.

It was definitely b-movie quality, but it wasn't cringe. There was some actual effort into the acting and writing. B-movie doesn't always mean terrible or cringe, but EA doesn't understand that.

The only one I could bear from C&C3 in terms of acting was Kane, but he has had plenty of past experience and he knows his role. The others were so cringy it hurt. Every cliche and trope exaggerated to the max it felt they are doing it on purpose (and when folks do it conciously, it can be good when played well). The expansion (prequel) had super-ultra-hyped actors (the black hand dude and that blonde chick). Felt like EA was threatening to tase them if they would not show enthusiasm. I needed to skip the videos because they made me sick.

Only the blonde chick made me cringe in Kane's Wrath.... well, I cringed that the only black character was the leader of the Black Hand of Nod but that's for a different reason.
