Tempest Rising now has a third faction, the Veti, on the game with a new-released DLC today.>You can play it online and on skirmish with no need to pay>DLC is just the 11-mission campaign, which most players said its a good campaign.Having fun with it, anons?
>>2496718Just bought it because i was waiting on a sale 50% off and still feels a bit costly. I played it on release and beta and was almost good but not quite. Then I played a demo weekend and liked it enough for the wishlist but still had QoL missing. Then I went to Discord and they actually updated what I was complaining about, so I guess it's a good time to pick it upI am kinda mad that they took so long to do those QoL when it should've been stuff for release. Its undeniably geared towards a good MP experience but they fumbled their momentum
Isn't this the game that installs malware?
I'll get it eventually, I liked the base game it's not mindblowing or anything but the campaign was fun<- my wife btw
>>2496718i tried looking at the steam page and they're talking about it like it's "the final chapter" of tempest rising. when i tried the game on my old pc that could barely run it, i was left with the impression you just have a couple of parallel campaigns from the perspective of each faction, like in red alert 2. are the campaigns supposed to be played in a certain order? might give it another try now that i've upgraded my pc.
>>2496718yeah is the game not shit yet?no, ok so who cares
>>2497002It doesnt install malware, it harvests the fuck out of your data including personal data and takes screenshots of your desktop to "prevent cheating"
>>2497072lfmao
>>2497072>prevent cheatingNobody's playing this shit lmao
>>2497313eugene systems had to dumb down (see: completely neuter) act of agression 6 months after its initial release. Play Act of War instead.
>>2497401You can switch from reboot eiditon in the launcher or Steam
>>2496718It is pretty good for what it isPlayed a few rounds and it gets thrilling, just needs some polishing around some edges
>>2496718How is the overall campaign for this game? Is it worth getting just for that?
>>2498420eh/10
>>2497072Does it even have functional and living multiplayer?
>>2498643according to /v/ any game below 250k concurrent players at all times is dead so no
Been playing it since the discount and it is pretty great, actually impressed how much fun in havingAlso don't know how this hasn't been more popular. I would say the price might be steep? Don't know, but the sp is pretty good and the mp feels great to play. It's addictive Don't know what else could benefit this game to get it to more exposure
>>2501011being a command&conquer from temu discouraged many people from buying, including myselfthe spyware anticheat was the final nail in the coffin
>>2501033don't forget the part about slipgate and 3dr previously going out of their way to screw the boomer shooter audience
>>2501033so you don't like Command&Conquer?
>>2501033CnC is never coming back and you don't really want to with EA in charge of it (Now the Saudis)As far as the gameplay goes, it is what a modern CnC should be. I feel lt lacks a bit of more grit to be compared to Tiberian Sun where everything was bleak as fuck but it's pretty good so far
>>2501112not from temu, no. I like the real thing with sovl behind it
>>2496718I did not play it, but I respect them for actually finishing the job with an expansion and full campaigns unlike the frauds from Stormgate.
>>2501931They already promised to release the game back in 2023 and then had to split it to sell part of the game as DLC, usual slipgate behavior
The game is good, it has very fun mechanics, but the lead designer Brandon has the stupidiest takes on some topics and makes me realize the game is half good because of him, and most of the QoL of life that the game got was forced over him because CnC games play like shit and he wanted it to play pretty close to that (shit)There are several things that would make the game instantly better but he presents resistance to several ideas like the hotkeys being retarded for a year and you cannot change them, the UI being wonky and won't change it, and balance issues that are obvious but won't change, and several others. And as always, the Discord use is a must to get games going on a small scene, but as always, the gassiest farts are the loudest and either cock suck the dev for good boy points or shut down new blood. The game needs to be half the price at base to start to thrive and who knows if they'll continue expanding it. Also people saying it's a campaign first game and the devs begrudgingly saying its true when it was clearly NOT their intention is the other sad part. They expected a big scene, the game is clearly laid for PVP, but it wasn't as good as it needed to be at release, mainly because super retarded controls that needed to be patched out several times and bad visual unit identity. Yes it got fixed, no it didn't got in time. They need to inject life to it and it could thrive because it IS good, but they also seem to just be giving up and make it a SP game because campaigniggers are loud and the silent majority just dropped it and looked the other way.
>>2501844>the SOVL in question
>>2502203I just wanted to add that even though i was saying this I do like this game very much, and would like it to have an actual MP scene now that the map editor is out because it is very fun as a game and it is well designed. Some things are rough, but not more than others.There are actually a lot of RTS, its just that not many are good. This one is one of the few worth time investing.
>>2502215>the SOVL in question
>2502203The Return of a Sad and Lonely Multifag the MulticuckThe game sucked dick because it was a shitty SC2 clone wearing skin of RA3 that played like TibDawn 1995 if someone forced 3D graphics onto it, of course it sucked dick, it ignored three decades worth of QoL improvements that Westwood, Blizzard and other developers were introducing in their games over the course of years Also>multicucks>silent majorityYou know, if that was even slightly true, every pool and vote hosted by all the gaming communities, forums, gaming magazines, servers this fucking greed reddit, normal reddit etc., over the past 15 years, would have at least showed numbers close to 50/50, not an overwhelming preference for Singleplayer, but alas, apparently even the multicucks are shooting themselves in the dick and vote for Singleplayer for some reason every-single-timeAlso you'd think that Stormgate and Battle Aces would've had overwhelming success, yet they went down in flames
>>2502215Your long nose is showing
I find the game so bland. Barely any cool units or cool voice acting. Boring campaign. Meh cutscenes with only one notable character development that was at least something compared to just simply giving you the objectives or lore drops. Barely any mp features, super low map count for mp and skirmish. Wierd UI. And I hate that the units don't shoot on the move. This game was delayed for I don't even remember how long, I was looking so forward for it and I am/was so disappointed by it. Absolutely mediocre RTS from people that are supposedly rts fans and passionate about cnc. Also the updates are slow as fuck, i wonder if they even care about this game anymore, they might be keeping it on life support while working on another game. I'd only buy it on a discount. Don't know about any new stuff tho I haven't played this in months.
>>2502413Just wanted to drop here another point, I simply don't get it when people say that this game is like a classic cnc title, when it isn't . It has a different feel to it. So many people said it's like kane's wrath and ra2 and shit but it fucking isn't. Fuck every youtuber hailing this game as the resurrection of cnc games. My fault is even watching gaming youtubers but still, fuck them.
>>2502339Those games failed because they suck and quoting your gay YouTubers doesn't make it any less true>Ooh I'm surrounded by campaign anxiety faggots and they all agree with me!Of course they do
>>2502417>Just wanted to drop here another point, I simply don't get it when people say that this game is like a classic cnc title, when it isn't .The UI design alone screams "we want to be command&conquer", you don't have to be a 1:1 clone of a game to get called a clone
>>2502339Campaignigger triggered lmao
>2502436>2502448Then where's your audience, multifag, oh wait, there's none
>>2502436>games suck>yet some youtubers are responsible incredible logic
>>2502533>Game suck and are badly designed>Surely failed because it didn't had campaign and didn't cater to ME
>>2501011>Also don't know how this hasn't been more popularWhy would I buy an obvious C&C knockoff when I can play the original?Devs need to get a bit more creative.
>>2504443CnC games are dead and kinda suck to play to be completely real
The game is amazing, keeps getting QoL updates and balance is better each patch. Only sad thing is lack of new maps for PvP. Singleplayer fags are pretty loud sadly and them making this campaign took away from us getting maps. But the MP scene is somewhat alive, good players still play ladder.
>>2506297Isn't there a map editor now? Shouldn't be hard to get new ones whitelisted if they're good enough>Singleplayer fags are pretty loud sadly and them making this campaign took away from us getting mapsThe dev team wanted to do a proper RTS but also had shortcomings at launch. The campaign is nothing noteworthy to be honest, while the skirmish mode is very good. It is an MP first game and the devs knew what they were doing, but they shriveled down when they didn't hit their mark. I hope they continue to expand and support it because if done right it could be a very addictive game in teams or any mode
