I want to believe that Anthem is going to be decent and not the thing which finally puts the bullet in the chamber as Bioware is marched out to that well known death pit EA pops the husk of former studios in their back garden into...
But I'm not that confident.

I dont have the attachment to Command And Conquer some seem to have
It belongs on the Mt. Rushmore of real-time strategy, IMO. Stripped-down, simpler and much faster than others of the genre - more friendly territory for people like me who want to direct big-scale battles but don't have the patience for something like Age of Empires. Plus it was one of the early adopters of live-action FMV cutscenes and stuck with it long after basically everyone else abandoned the concept, and honestly, they always made a pretty good argument for its use, at least as part of an RTS story.
It's also another series that got butchered after EA swallowed its original developer, Westwood. Granted, I actually quite like C&C3, and even Red Alert 3 has its charms, like firing paratrooper grizzly bears out of a man-cannon to deploy behind enemy lines (though of course it suffers in comparison to series high point Red Alert 2). But RA3 didn't make all the money in the world, so EA gutted the staff, let the series rot for a while, then tried to bring it back as a multiplayer-only deal. When the fans (rightly!) objected that a C&C with no campaign wouldn't feel like a full game, EA made some general platitudes about how they listened, and would remodel the game accordingly...then cancelled it altogether, because 'giving the target audience the game they asked for and would be more than happy to buy' is not a profitable strategy, I guess!
And now, years after that, the C&C name is dragged from the pit and slapped on a mobile game with only tangential similarities to its old self. It's...yeah. I'm mad.
The X-Books Board is wretched and does not deserve the Domino Appreciation Thread.
mobile gaming is a profit farm these days
attach a known name to it, and someones gonna make $$$
sounds unfortunate for fans of the series
never got into C&C, RTS aint my thing and honestly I thought the FMV was really silly
Man, the C&C thingie was kinda hard to swallow i must admit.
Freaking mobile BS...

Was playing some basketball game those few past days and i was wondering, do games like Nba2k18 really need the nba at all?
I mean, what's popular? Why people are playing this game and paying revolting amount of money in order to avoid the grind? To play with their favorite nba teams? To have the beautiful smile of mister Curry on the cover?
Hell no, the whole point of the game is the park, the street basket modes, the 5vs5 online with custom characters.
I dare to imagine that EA or 2k are paying something quite nice in order to use the Nba teams and names, an amount of money who could maybe be spared.
That sounds like a marketing challenge. Maybe an online MMORPG-style sports game with a massive tournament of tournaments every season and the ability to trade players at the beginning of every season. Get fancy outfits, hair styles, tattoos, and victory dances as cosmetic DLC.
Or maybe get another license. Marvel vs. Capcom: New Age of B-Ball might be fun.
