The C&C remaster reminding me of things you could do in the wild-west days of game design that you could probably not get away with now: a mission where the briefing is garbled, so the actual objective is concealed.

I went down a trip the memory lane. Played one mission, one skirmish, returned the game. It's just incredibly bad. Back then, it was cool, yes. But today? Sheesh.

Really? I'm actually quite enjoying it. It took a bit to get used to the creature comforts I didn't have (alas for attack move) and I switched the mouse to a modern setup button wise, but otherwise it felt fine.

I suppose a lot depends on one's tolerance for some of the pathfinding and the unit-stutter when giving orders. I had to unlearn a lot of my SC2 muscle memory in terms of clicking.

Yeah. The stupid AI, the lackluster balancing, the awkward mission design...My nostalgia just didn't carry me through. I chuckled through the mission briefing, but...simply not enough.
