My personal favourite though was Tiberian Sun, I just love the look and atmosphere of that game, and the really interesting variety of unit designs etc. I'd actually say Tiberian Sun feels more like the true final installment in the original C&C series than Tiberian Wars. Sun has a FAR more desperate, desolate feel like the world is fully succumbing to Tiberian infestation, with all the mutants and abominations and abandoned cities and stuff. The world seems in far better shape in Wars, even though it's supposed to be further along the timeline, and the units are way less futuristic and advanced than in Sun too... Really does not add up at all to me, honestly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did such a great job making a creepy atmosphere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno why though tbh, been too long since I got a game going. Generals was pretty good yeah, really changed up a lot of the gameplay systems and obviously was the first fully 3D C&C game! Only thing I didn't like about Generals was that it didn't have quite as much character as either the Tiberian games or the Red Alert games, it was going for a more realistic tone, I guess? Then again, not sure I remember playing through much of the campaign on that one, I think I mainly stuck to multiplayer on that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the inferior control scheme compared to PC, the biggest downside is the lack of FMVs. Those FMV briefings and other animations between stages really made the game something special. The N64 version DEFINITELY looses a lot for the lack of those, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably part of it I imagine. The campaign was not memorable lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coincidentally, I am currently playing through Command and Conquer 3 on my 360. It's really no better to play than the N64 version, despite the massive leap in technology between the two systems. Playing RTS on a controller lacks the speed and precision necessary for the real-time management of so many different units simultaneously. In order to really enjoy the experience on the console, honestly you just need to crank down the difficulty, because you can quickly get overwhelmed even in normal mode. I just wanna kinda relax and roll-over my enemies, crushing them under foot, but honestly the biggest enemy is the controller IMO! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nugfish | 652 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Currently playing through Bass Hunter 64. Enjoying the game, but definitely more tournaments than I remember. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themisfit138 | 523 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) Duke Nukem 64 complete! The final boss was easier than most of the levels. I just continued to move towards and away from him. Then hit him with rockets, and he barely hit me.

themisfit138 | 523 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 It is a Doom clone. So find the different colored keys to unlock the doors, massive guns. Then every level is a maze, some times frustratingly so. But fun overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nugfish | 652 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 I don't recall struggling this much with Bass Hunter...I will be taking a break to play some others. I'll start beating some teams on NBA Showdown and give Rainbow Six a try. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nugfish | 652 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 So, I noticed @LeatherRebel5150 and @ZeldaFan042 beat Bass Hunter 64 the last couple years. Any tips on getting fish to bite in the later tournaments? I don't recall struggling near this much in the past, but it is working me this time around.
