>>1908033Wait...isn't *he* an alien, too?
>>1908034no dude he's fucking CAIN
>>1908095yea but according to him he came from elsewhere thousands of years ago
>>1908111He's naturalized.
>>1908113kek but he's still from not earth
>>1908111>>1908119Now listen closely, try to remember in which game exactly he said that he's an alien
>>1908033The Scrin were already openly introduced in Tiberium Sun (at least one of their warships). I don't remember if there's any reference to aliens in the original game other than Tiberium itself, but advanced Nod technology has always being quite alien.
>>1908135I don't have to, his own story is he came here thousands of years ago when we were in mud huts still (his words)Not he lived on earth forever.
>>1908111he meant garden of Eden, which no longer exists on Earth.>>1908186ship form the pic was built by Nod based on the information found in Tacticus. Banshees are also based on the same data. The Scrin have appeared on Earth for the first time in C&C3, at least officially, since the Tacticus' origin has never been properly explained.
>>1908385No, he didn't. He said he CAME TO EARTH kek
>>1908385it's tacitus
suddenly aliens is a gay plot point.
>>1908544While it can be, what exactly did you think tiberium was from?
>>1908555A lifeless planet/asteroid/whateverthefuck
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_cA_pmz_dI
>>1908034He's the literal son of Adam thougheverbeit
>>1908332Ok then, is there such thing as C&C 4?
>>1908590I always thought radiation as a kid.
>>1908592>>1908598Depends if you believe kane or not really now doesn't it? Or when you believe him kek
>>1908616Just answer the question, which game explicitly states that Kane is an ancient alien while contradicting all the Biblical references that were present in previous games, starting with ancient rock painting depicting the first murder in Tiberian Dawn and Abels tomb in Renegade, and ending with various bible citations in Tiberium Wars and Kane's Wrath
>>1908621>t. didn't play the gamesKane tells you he came from not earth. Kane also tells you a lot of shit.
>>1908625Just name the game, pal, a number that comes after 3 and two words, both start with T, and your stance whether that games exists or not
>t. kane is ancient alien but c&c 4 doesn't exist
>>1908033>Scrin promised to come back at the end of the game >Never came back
>>1908714>scrin realize that they're gay and everyone hates them>get back inside their rocketships and fuckoff back to spaceland>commit mass suicide to atone for their crime of being a shitfaction
>>1908631>>1908632kek
>>1908714>game where they delivered on the invasion had a betty & veronica love triangle between the player, a gdi Scottish tomboy commando, and a vaguely Mediterranean priestess of nodI was robbed.
>>1909400It was Republic Commando reskin with suits from Dead Space and abysmal gameplay, especially in multiplayer
>>1909403And?
>>1909417damn, your quality standards are low
>>1908544It was a plotpoint westwood thought up tho. EA just stuck with it. Personally I like the Scrin. The Scrin mini campaign is great in CnC3.The scrin AI has a cute voicehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4-chlzq1kg
>>1909527yeah, but westwood had in mind a full-scale invasion meant to conquer the earth for scrin to live and grow tiberium, not space junkies that used arachnids to mine green rocks
>>1909527>t was a plotpoint westwood thought up tho.Doesn't change the fact that I think it's dumb.
>>1909527>love Scrin art design, sound effects and HUD>hate playing as them>hate playing against them>hate their missionsHigh tech air-focused faction is such a degenerate theme to make a race around even if it makes sense in the story.
>>1910724Seeing simple anti-air units blow their quirky flying dreadnoughts out of the sky is funny though
>>1910724The Scrin didn't look good as an air-based faction because they were cheap downgraded versions of Warhammer 40K Tyranids but the underrated Red Alert 3 video game managed to create an incredibly awesome Japanese Empire faction that was a perfect tranfiguration of Tau into a non-alien faction but RTS was already a dying genre at the time otherwise it would've surpassed Age of Empires!
>>1910869Whenever I saw that image, I always thought Yuriko wasn't wearing any underwear
>>1911032You're absolutely correct, she doesn't have any.
>>1909533>space junkies that used arachnids to mine green rockswhat
>>1908385>ship form the pic was built by Nod based on the information found in Tacticus. Banshees are also based on the same data. The Scrin have appeared on Earth for the first time in C&C3, at least officially, since the Tacticus' origin has never been properly explained.I may need to play Tib Sun again but from what I remember, both Nod and GDI explicitly label this as a crash site of an alien ship. Doesn't sound like something that Nod built. And the Tacticus was needed to help make sense of the data they got from it.
>>1913082Nod built it: https://youtu.be/ISDQg899qVY?t=582Also Vega mentions it in the GDI campaign too. It is an alien ship in the sense that they just followed the instructions they got from the Tacitus, not entirely sure what they were building.

>>1908033>Commander, these aliens be try'n to smoozsh our style, smash'n up our wack-ass crystal prisons, help out the brotherhood daddioIt seemed kinda weird to suddenly have Kane be a beatnik, but i'm not super familiar with the lore.
>>1908033Tiberium Wars ruined C&C. They retconned Tiberium from an alien plant-like organism, which produces crystals as a side-effect, to just being a fucking crystal. And it made the whole thing far less interesting.
>>1919504Not only that, they made Tiberium into some bullshit exotic matterHow can you extract resources from Tiberium crystals if its just a completely new element?
>>1914074Surprised it's still around and being worked on, good for them honestly.
>>1919504That feelThe biggest thing I miss is all the crazy Tiberium flora and fauna.
>>1908033>tfw there is a universe where he's known as Grand Exalted Minister Kane
>>1908135Technically it's the first game's Official Strategy Guide that had some lore dump about how GDI Operatives' investigations uncovered that he's been alive for thousands of years, may be of extraterrestrial origin, and is most likely the "Cain" of biblical reference.
>>1909533>>1912547>space junkies that used arachnids to mine green rocksYou know what NO. It was a fun and original plot and I'm tired of pretending it wasn't. It makes the scrin seem all the more threatening and alien because there goals aren't the usual mundane "We want your clay humans!". It was straight up intergalactic space crackheads who don't give a fuck about life on other planets so long as they get their fix. They don't even consider humanity a serious threat, they fought us with the equivalent of a mining company. The battle between the Scrin and humanity was like Lumberjacks in the Amazon battling Bow and Arrow wielding tribesmen using bulldozers and chainsaws. Not everything needs to be a case of taking things over to establish a new home. The fact that they are so powerful that they don't even really care all that much about humans or even winning the "war" is cool as fuck. They were more interested in wtf Kane was doing and who he was.
>>1926858I also liked the Mothership AI telling the Supervisor to fuck off in order to salvage what's left of your expedition. That felt like a rather fresh take on the age-old concept of an AI rebellion.I also have to give EA credit where it's due, the Scrin actually seem alien - you can't tell whether their units are the actual Scrin, robots, some sort of cyborg constructs or something in-between.
>>1908186Just look at how pretty that image is, how masterfully crafted. Christ I need to play this game again
