C&C 4 Tiberium Developer Diary - Tiberium Harvesting

[Nyerguds 101]

WTF.

 

No really, WTF.

 

-No explanation given to WHY the crystals appear there

-No explanation on WHY they help you

-They honestly call this "harvesting"?

-They honestly still call this RTS?

Lol, the argument just continues forever...

Argument? I haven't heard one single decent counter-argument. Everyone says "okay, so, yeah, the game is pretty fun", but IMO there's really nothing left for people who want a C&C game.

 

As I said before, EA should learn from the Pokémon games. Nintendo never changed the game format of those one tiny bit, and yet they still sell like crazy. Because they GIVE FANS EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT.

QFT

 

That is a really good point.

And I just spoke to one of my C&C friends who still have but with little hope of the game. He told me about regarding idealism when I spoke about money, and here's what he told me :

 

Maybe that's what the developer's tactics after all. I believe idealism is good, it's money that tainted idealism, and thanks to the reasons like "you can't do that, it won't sell that way" or "it's too idealist, let's use what sells right now." or "This is what's being a trend right now, let's follow it and see how many profit we got." then idealism became some kind of bad guy.

 

There are proofs, I believe user mod games like Counter strike and DotA was born from idealism (although there were more factors joining in later), untainted by money (or profit), and see how great they were right now, even counter strike beats the name of Half Life and DotA beats the name of Warcraft 3.

 

People's mind are awesome, it's money that makes them not as awesome as it should be.

 

In summary, the dev team focuses on pleasing themselves and only aiming for money while they also don't give 100% everything what the fans want.

Just another example of EA following their motto: "EA: Why create something that makes sense when we can create something that makes no sense at all?"

 

So apparently Jesus prances through the forest, sprinkling faerie dust on the tulips and bunny rabbits with his wand, and then he does some pull-ups on a low-hanging tree branch because he's cool and manly like that, and sweats out the Tiberium which condenses into an unobtainium Sims crystal. At this point Jesus uses his Super Ultra Jesus Powers to will a magic levitation floaty ring (powered by magic Jesus rays) and some jet engines to appear out of thin air, which he attaches to the crystal using only the power of his mind (and also by flexing his pectorals). Then he says "it is not yet your time my son, now go forth and fly" and he throws the whole contraption up into the air like a quarterback throwing a football, and then it flies off to a random place where it makes good use of the magical-Jesus-ray-powered floaty ring by following anything that gets close to it like a puppy until they reach their drop zone.
