uh aku amik masa dua hari habiskan semua campaign. tapi memang lekat depan pc sepanjang masa. soviet punya mission senang. bila masuk allies mula susah sikit. mission japan pun susah gak. ade part yang ko dah ada semua tech tier units, tetiba semua mati (pasal ikut jalan cerita).

can choose as each campaign has its own story. liek you kill emperor on both soviet and allies mission but the emperor still lives on in empire of rising sun campaign.

japan nyer campaign la serious. dah la defend pearl harbor lol.

defend tokyo saja.

i heard the cracked/hacked/torrent version got bugs. like suddenly got bikini woman unrelated with ra3 plus buggy missions. so try to get proper ra3 (by any means you want. not like i ask you to buy original).

actually while ea being monopoly and always making dull, decent games but i can see lately that they're rather trying to make better games. it is surprising that they canceled some of the games just because they're not wroth to play. for example, look at C&C Tiberium, an FPS game for C&C3. By right, if they released it now even if its buggy, people will still buy it due to "Commander and Conquer" franchise. Yet, they halted it to make way for better games.

the game doesn't need any cd to run.

install je. dah boleh main. tak yah pakai cd. cuma dia ada securom. 5 times activation. if your cousin install and his/her pc got internet, the game will be activated (uses 1 activation). then if you install on your pc and your pc got internet, it will uses another activation. so 3 activations left. only when playing online will require ea account.

tapi takleh coop lan. online je leh coop.

kalau download kat site, leh terus latest version. guna auto patch pun boleh.

yeah really. ubisoft and activision are just like ea too. activision threw away vivendi just for that merger with blizzard. while there were many good games published by activision, what they did to vivendi made many games lost their support. currently activision blizzard merger has made lots of damages. kesian kat world in conflict.

blizzard under vivendi? then why vivendi personnal hilang kerja? lol that's not about blizzard working under vivendi. more like they make it to look that way but the real vivendi workers gone with the wind.

btw, i was reading the comp ace i bought that day. got one manga so funny where this guy got a keitai (handphone). he put the keitai for charging at his room and went outside. he returned back and suddenly got unknown girl inside his room. it seems his keitai became a girl. the girl's ear got keitai antenna. lol then his refrigerator also became chibi girl. along with his tissue box. when he pulled a sheet from the chibi tissue box girl, she's moaning. then she said something like, please use it properly. i lol'd at that part.

From what I read in kotaku, the merger made most of vivendi workers lost their positions. Of course, the accounts taken from ex-workers of vivendi rather than official stuffs on the site. Since blizzard is so resourceful, Activision Blizzard focus more manpower on Blizzard games like WoW. So other divisions in vivendi that undergoing the development other games that Activision Blizzard think them as less fruitful than from Blizzard studio were cut off. Not that I hate the merger or something else but previously people thought that the merger will produce more quality games yet things going to favor blizzard studio games. you might feel ok since they focus on WoW. If i am a fan of WoW, I don't mind as well. But to see them letting go World In Conflict, Brutal Legend and others made some people angry (and they went wtf by keeping Ice Age games lol).

In my point of view, Blizzard is evil too but good evil, if you catch what i mean.

TL;but i read lol.

Heck I know Vivendi is a publisher. Of course they're not developer. But without money given by publisher (depends la on agreements/contracts), developer won't be able to go far. I came to acknowledged vivendi after their relationship with Sierra. well, like you said, studios under vivendi did work freely but actually that depended on contracts. by comparing both vivendi and ea, you can see how differ both of them in term of sale. marketing is the major advantage for ea. throughout these years, ea is well known for sports games. my first ea games was fifa 95/96. the integration of games with pop culture is one of ea's strategies to make their games sold well (those hollywood actors and also hip hop techno whacamalit songs etc).

blizzard started slow but well. being independent blizzard entertainment and then opening up blizzard north studio, and so on. tho i disliked their styles of having multiple expansions which only adds few additions like units or maps (like warcraft 2 and also star craft). in those days, sc was so popular for being an rts that had 3 factions that works differently (those days also were days that we can install any games on cyber cafes). as we know, by taking good examples from other games, slowly we can create a better product rather than rushing it out yearly.

in this matter, vivendi is doing the same job as ea for marketing the products but what they did was not on par with ea. studios work freely but too much time wasted. hl2 was taking too much time as gabe newell being kind of perfectionist. i bet if hl2 wasn't succesful, vivendi would be a goner already. that's a bad thing for vivendi which led up to current ruckus. even i don't like vivendi's packaging. hl2 packaging was like shit (only a box, several discs inside and sehelai kertas panduan). while ea's 'i am the boss demit' attitude led to a monopoly of gaming industry which involve in every genre. the most evil, aye? as much as people grieving over westwood lost to ea, they're actually formed up to a studio named ea los angeles. i believed the loss might because westwood couldnt produced their products at given time. command and conquer generals was the idea from former westwood staffs themselves but enraged fans considered it as something not to be included in c&c universe. remnants of loyalist workers of westwood established petroglyph studio but they couldnt go anywhere with their products since most of their talented people were taken away to eala.

well, we can see who was the first gaming consortium that have facilities similar to microsoft? i am not a supporter of ea. by now, i believe blizzard's estates might be something similar with google offices. being a casual gamer, i play almost all kinds of games. i dont care if the creator of the games are fascists or nazis as long as the games are good enough for me to play it. as much as ea being culprit of making same games every year, alot of other people following this direction. people praised konami for having a great football games but it's still the same shit every year. same like square enix with their fukkenlol rpg games (and i dont understand japanese tards who kept playing the same thing over 20 years). it is not true that i hate WoW or blizzard as these are also my gaming materials. i do like wow very much compared to other mmorpg (mestilah pernah test lol) just that i couldnt cope my time with it.

yeah, it is too damn tough for a company to challenge ea or blizzard but time will tell.

i can see gamers with somewhat single-sided mind. kinda a lot of them prefer something like graphical enhancement. because with graphical stuffs, it's like benchmarkers heaven. ea games are the most which follow up with current advancement in computer hardware compared to blizzard for example. i also saw people whining over poor arts in fallout 3 while people like me prefer gameplay. so by balancing over graphical thingy, gameplay has less innovation. it's not like the game was easier than before but there's no enhancement from previous version. just like gta franchise. the recent gta iv has far more better graphical shits but actually the same shit as previous versions.

EA does give a flying f*** about the community. But instead of giving new patches, they gave you new games! lolol but the only studio that gives a flying f*** about community in ea is that EALA. anyway the recent development of games, at most a new game can hold is 6 months to one year. this caters for most of the games out there. why? there are too many games coming out every month. so developers must know how to give support on their games to sustain longer. but then, after they're getting more silver and gold from the sales, they used that for developing new things.

The problem with RA2 was, it's developed by Westwood. Back then, EA was only a publisher. I know how crap RA2 was. The only thing that make RA franchise was successful due to real world smilarity stuff. You see, people always crapping over EA making dull games and such. But by comparing newer versions of C&C games by EA. they're more balanced than old Westwood games. Actually some hardcore C&C fans but also EA haters are nonsense gamers. They wanted those old whatever units but actually those were imba units. So, in my opinion, Westwood games aren't that well balanced and I don't understand why those people keep whining over every single matters. For example, just by having Prism tanks plus Rocketeers spam, you win. Also look at other games like Supreme Commander. Massive wars and what other shits people might say. But the truth is, it is the same as WC2 as you said. Mirror units and such with little improvements.

can you tell how suck C&C renegade was? i was dissappointed by the game because the C&C era was started around 1995 but suddenly they went far ahead into future (previously it is said that renegade was subsequently following the first C&C game).

Despite the wiki there saying relation was over, the publisher of HL2 was still Vivendi. I can show you my packaging if you want to see.

The only reason I played wc3 before was due to i like to know the stories. Yeah, I've been playing since wc1 (but dont ask me how the stories going as i kinda cannot remember them all). wc3 was challenging but has never been favored due to my personal preferences. Dota thing also was good as I also have been playing starcraft and its maps all along (i just dont like those dotards, kthx). its just like i prefer those magical elf and orks thingy for rpg games rather than rts. just a personal preference. but when these things turned futuristic like warhammer40k games, that's one of the best rtses out there (but most decent gamers dont really fancy it. maybe too much micro).

definately i will buy sc2 and d3. but i am not into mmorpg like wow or even that warhammer online (however if you managed to convert me that ways, i dont mind as i've never been playing a good rpg for sometime).

japanese rpg games can go die. i tell you WoW, diablo or even that oblivion are far more better games than those japanese shits. the existance of final fantasy and other japanese games are for giving mangaka some inputs for their hentai doujins materials which is the only thing i like.

japanese games are something that have little innovation for all these years. mainly those rpg which is turn based. the only good thing about jrpg is the great and sometimes eccentric stories. they're not really action style rpg compared to western rpg.

Added on November 4, 2008, 5:41 pmmy point for that 6 months age also applies to other games. not entirely ea

well decent and new gamers are not really fancy with warcraft3 (except for that dota shit). it's a good game but not all into microing all army. i am not comparing which is more micro between those two. i do play wc3 la. i know how bizzare the micro can be. i am just telling that some people dont like warhammer40k or warcraft3 due to extensive micro. for example my brother who prefer typical rts like age of empires 3. i think he also prefer supreme commander where you just sending troops and so on to win the game.

lol yeah. new games always having fukkenlolawesome graphics. but then it couldnt help as we already have good hardware for them.

busy having fun with sora. brb.

the moment you bother every hairs you see on the crotch. lol no lah. its from micromanagment. where you have to focus on each unit in rts games. for example each unit has its own abilities.

sabar2.

one thing aku nampak ok sikit ra3 ni bila submarine dalam air. kalau force fire kat air tu tak effect underwater units. dulu ra2 memang effect. actually submarine in reality leh fire underwater. tapi dalam ra3 kena surface dulu (cam ww2 la plak). ni pasal nak balancing gameplay la ni.

graphic air dia memang best. pastu aku nyer setting ade la dekat2 ultra high.

lawak giler mission soviet kat switzerland. dah la tasik. tetiba ada dolphin. "how come dolphin in the lake?"

ALTERNATE TIMELINE!
