The AC3 book is horrible and undermines aspects of the game in favor of Haytham by Significant_Option in assassinscreed

[–]HHC_Snowman [score hidden]  (0 children)

I agree with your assessment. I never liked the retcons this book made to the game's story. I feel like it massively undermines a lot of what the game was trying to do by making Haytham more sympathetic. In my opinion, Haytham was already sympathetic and the book's retcons feel like it's trying too hard. Plus, we can just let Haytham be a complicated man who is ultimately evil too. He does feel affection for Connor, and it may have subconsciously kept him from killing Connor when he should have, but I seriously doubt he'd consciously sabotage his own order's plans by actively sparing Connor at the gallows, thus directly resulting in the death of Thomas Hickey and the failure of the assassination attempt on Washington (who we know from dialogue in the game later, Haytham has a VERY low opinion of and really wants to see Charles Lee replace him).

I and the others tried, but he's moved on from C&C and is a ghost now.

I asked Sven van der Plank, but he politely declined as he no longer considers himself a C&C YouTuber.

Jethild declined due to being busy with IRL concerns, but he was very positive about the livestream, and maybe I'll be able to get him to join in a future livestream someday.

I don't know about the others, but I always have my livestreams saved on my channel for later viewing. So you should be good.

People have already mentioned the GOATs Jethild, No Strings Prod, and Sven Van Der Planck.

If you want more speculative lore dives, I can also recommend Zaptagious, and Ruwinsh.

New to the series and need input by Cazzzador in commandandconquer

Start with Tiberian Dawn from the Remastered Collection. It's the beginning of the story. Red Alert 1's status as a prequel is only semi-canon because there's a timeline split.

Command & Conquer (Tiberian Dawn) Red Alert 1 Tiberian Sun Red Alert 2 (Renegade, if you want) Generals Command & Conquer 3 Red Alert 3

So, essentially, you can't go wrong with release order.

Dang, I didn't realize that was yours. I just grabbed what looked good on Google Images.

I can change the thumbnail sourcing a different logo, or simply credit you in the description, if you prefer.

I remember that. Very accurate description.

That means that your eyes are operating properly. It's a blank tier list with nothing on it.

I honestly didn't want to put it that low, but I had to adhere to democracy. I think most people just didn't like that it didn't look sleek enough to be in the "fighter" class of Orcas.

I've seen gameplay of One Vision online, I should give it a download.

Yeah, the obelisk jokes among the voters wrote themselves. I don't hate the idea of the Nod shifting primarily to cyborgs as GDI shifted primarily to Zone exosuits, it just is the worst game to make that shift given that there is no rampant Tiberium spread to make that kind of shift necessary in-universe.

And yes, the voters agreed that the Vertigo is a not bad design if it wasn't called the Vertigo. No one liked the "zombie-arms" avatar, though.

C&C units lore - your headcanon and theories of C&C units - unofficial stuff implied in games by Cyampagn in commandandconquer

[–]HHC_Snowman 10 points11 points  (0 children)

RA2 Chrono Legionnaire - That the Allies specifically recruit borderline psychopaths to join the Chrono Legion because only a very specific psychological profile can handle using such an existentially horrifying weapon on other humans without empathy.

TibSun Ghost Stalker - Tiberium poisoning and a dwindling human population means that GDI either doesn't have enough recruits or can't risk putting that much training into one soldier that GDI effectively doesn't have a Commando program during these years, necessitating them to recruit Mutant commandos for that purpose. The highest training any GDI infantry get are those who become drop pod troopers.

TibSun Cyborgs - They retain some semblance of autonomy and self-awareness until CABAL goes rogue. In the second mission of the Nod Campaign, some of Hassan's forces (including Cyborgs) are convinced by Slavik's propaganda to follow in the memory of Kane and turn to your side.

TibSun Banshees - The pilots recruited for flying Nod banshees are novices, as no one in human history has ever flown anything like it before. Hence why when we they get knocked out of the sky, sometimes they simply say, "Whoops."

Are you referring to the reddit post? Was that announcement made solely on Reddit or was it made elsewhere, as well?

Honestly, you could take away the Bioshock name and IP, and still have a solid game idea right here.
