February 2025
I guess it’s going better than I hoped, for the backlog. I’ve run out of short games (maybe a couple left), so I’ve reached a steep slope.
Despite this is the second coming of Hitler as a zombie (or a demon, I’m not so sure anymore) this could be the best zombie shooter I’ve ever played. It was smooth as well, Rebellion know how to optimize their games. Interestingly it was easier than the trilogy. I remember being struggled a lot in the trilogy while this one was almost a cakewalk. Almost. You still need to be always on the run.
I have finished the story and deleted the game but some time later if I fancy a zombie shooter I might come back for the horde mode. However I hate that some guns were paywalled under season pass.
Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars™
26 hours playtime, no achievements# 4
While the game is still good for today’s standards, I do not recommend playing campaign if you don’t want to lose your sanity. Thankfully I have found a way to return it to its former self with a mod and it made the campaign easier. It was still hard even on easy though. You can still enjoy skirmish (or multiplayer if you know what you do), it’s kinda like StarCraft.
By the way, there is a good news about Command & Conquer. EA opened the source code of the games a couple days ago (you can check from here).
Someone found this comment in the code. It seems they didn’t like Windows even back then. :)
Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath™
10 hours playtime, no achievements# 5
This one is actually an expansion but they released it as a separate title. Campaign is still insane though. At least there are some form of variety with some alt-factions, so there are 9 playable factions instead of 3. For skirmish this one is better because that.
Sigh! What will become of my backlog? I still play 20 year old games. -_-
It’s peaceful though.
Wow, these are really old memories. Good ones , though!
Congratulations for your assasination of these old relics :D
And yet I remember it like yesteryear. The time is moving too fast.
Thank you Sword! I love relics. :)
Congratulations on your assassinations!!! ᓚᘏᗢ
I’ve never been a big fan of the zombie genre, but zombie hitler sounds fun to kill! Are there any base building mechanics?
I’m not big on guns, but games like Fallout have a special place in my heart due to the base-building and settler options as well as being a fantasy-ish RPG.
Thank you Zel. :3
I think the zombie genre is the only post-apocalyptic setting I like, but yeah killing zombie Hitler is quite fun. Even vehicles were zombie which was unusual. Though there are no base building. It’s just wander around and shoot things, stay stuck in a smaller area and shoot even more things etc. I think the main genre is horde shooter? Kinda similar to Vampire Survivors (never played that though).
No idea why but it’s the other way around for me, I couldn’t like Fallout games even though I tried them many times. They are being RPG seems fun but the world setting doesn’t work for me I guess. I liked Skyrim but didn’t see the same magic on Fallout. :)
It kinda baffles me that throwing over an overwhelmingly positive game but I got used to it, since there are many.
Well, backlog is eternal, and 20 year old games are still a part of it (and definitely not the worst part of it, I think)
Have you tried Red Alert 3 yet?
That’s true. I like playing old games though. They are complete, easy on the hardware, don’t have a separate launcher etc. I actually played these with my roomies back in 2009, (especially Red Alert 3 and Age of Empires 3 :) ) and my EA account is older than my Steam account. They didn’t even have a launcher back then. I just bought them again on Steam to easily play on my Linux system, also nostalgia.
