Is it only me that had the C&C Generals Nuke Cannon tagline going off in their heads saying BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN in a deliberate voice and a heavy Chinese accent?

Hey, is that game any good? I only every did Tiberian Sun and RA2, is it worth getting into?

[–] bearboiblake@pawb.social 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah but good luck getting it working reliably on modern Windows. Runs great on Linux. It's probably the last truly great C&C game, if you ask me. C&C 3 was alright too I guess...

Oh yay! I am on Mint, though I am an idiot so I will likely fuck it up. I have no GPU just an old optiplex and I think I have the game on steam.

Should work fine, I run it on Steam with proton 10! Good luck & have fun!

If you get to zero hour try the chaos mod. Its really flushing out all the generals with new abilities and units and a new campaign.

IMO it's great but it is a departure from earlier titles in more than just going to 3D, and the sides are a 90s caricature of the US/China/Middle-Eastern people, so it's something that you definitely couldn't make today.

Like the "terrorist" side gets suicide bombers and a unit called "angry mob" to which Chinese flamethrowers or American snipers are a good counter, while China gets two soldiers for the price of one and propaganda loudspeakers everywhere that makes units fight harder.

The story is barely there as well, which was a strong point of the RA2 and Tiberium universes.

And there's no Tim Curry, who frankly makes RA2
