RTS games are inherently unserious. You are moving units around like they are live action chess pieces while your enemies do the same, it's not a way to realistically or seriously depict a war.

C&C was always pretty corny, and RA was an outright pulpy idea

>game about time travelers, aliens and russian psychics is serious

>>712737894 (OP)
If I had to make a guess, their survey results were probably that people enjoyed the silly antics of Einstein and the dark humor of Stalin the most in the RA1 campaigns, so they doubled down on those in RA2.

2 was even more outrageous than 3

3 was really goofy looking game and it made me drop it in the first 5 minutes. Warcraft 3 did irreversible damage to rts artstyle.

Red Alert was never serious, Red Alert 1 was maybe a bit more serious than 2 but even that was less serious than CnC 1

RA was always campy

RA3 bombed because it went full camp, at least in 2 it was still serious

This seriously needs a remaster, EA is utterly shameless on selling this on Steam without any modern QoL updates.

At least they could have exposed the source code, in order to let people fix some bugs.

do you really think in the current social and political climate that EA are going to remaster a game that features the chinese exploiting workers and using hackers to steal money, as well as Arabic terrorists who use suicide bombers and chemical weapons?

Generals is never coming back, the best you can hope for is dedicated modders keeping it alive with compatibility mods

RA is a good series that teaches a important life lesson. Namely Don't fucking time travel, you'll make everything worse and stupider with unforeseen consequences and just end on a depressing note. Okay, maybe the life lesson isn't that important.

ITs just a typical russian isekai, but without Hitler, Stalin and Lenin as the main heroes. In the past in many slavic lands it was quite normal to essentially talk about WW2 non-stop and even on live TV there would be some "professors" who will give 1000 theories about the hollow world, Antarctican, Argentinian martian plan of the lunar nazis to escape and fake losing ww2 just so they can escape the follow world lunar martian base and then later reinvade Earth.

Its based. Shizo. but based. I would rather watch professors on live TV arguing for hours whether the secret nazi bases are hidden on the bottom of the ocean or on the sun, then play a single minute of a modern game.
