I just got it installed and the GFX look outstanding!

If you are talking about the PC version, yes I had it pre ordered.
Some of its online aspects suck IMO, but that is strictly a matter of taste, you might love it.

The main campaigns are fun, though of course nothing special. It is good to see the storyline continuing, and it gets very i nteresting once the aliens invade. I suggest to play first the GDI campaing and then the NOD.

A good single player game, but nothing special IMO. I would give it 3.5/5

I play a couple missions every few days because the missions are so freakin' simple that I lose interest immediately. I've played all the C&C's and none were ever this easy.

I even dislike their star wars tangents with Empire at War (& forces of corruption) - updated versions of yet another star wars game like this - Galactic Battlegrounds - (and I like star wars games). 20 dollars spent in the game "Prey" is better spent - less than half the price for a game that is 2X better. I say we stop wasting our hard earned money in these utterly abysmal types of games. And force them to be a bit more "creative" than - The "red army" has advance to tech level 4!! - I put a lot of money in building a good computer to play good games with good graphics - not boring games with mediocre graphics, and utterly redundant game play. If I play C&C 3 ever again – it will only be to waste the “boring” time at work to make the clock pass and nothing else. But it's JUST my opinion.

Uh I dunno if I'd go that far...C&C3 does have superb graphics which just about any PC can run and in fairness to EA, they did make it the way they did because the fans complained when they went off and made that stupid Generals series.

I'm not that far in the GDI campaign (Egpyt) but I do wish the missions were more complicated than "build 5 mammoth tanks and blow up this [insert any objective here]".

Irishgi what are you talking about?
How are games like Age of Empires or Civilization or Empire at war, SHORT? Or easy? have you played them on hard difficulty?

If you prefer FPS games that is fine, but at least don't accuse whole genres of games just because you don't like them.

That's why I quoted him just in case he wanted to delete it

For the record, YOUR siggy was way over the size limitation and against the rules. YOU'd been warned once about it and it was removed by a moderator. YOU restored it, and that's all she wrote. Site owner took care of the rest.

We do have rules here and we do work with members as long as they'll work with us.
