Grey goo

[Puppies04]

Jusat watched Totalbuscuits review of this and decided to pick it up.

Reminds me a little of the old C+C games, will report back when I have palyed a little.

On a side note I generally play this type of game solo or against friends and don't go in for the whole PvP ladder stuff but I might give this one a try and see how it goes.

Saw this on Steam a few days ago. Seems to be very strong liking for those who like the Command and Conquer older genre as mentioned above. I saw that comment several times in the reviews I read. This may be something I picked up down the road foe a couple of bucks.

the last campaign mission on hard is impossible... They attack continuously with more than you can defend against and that's before the epic units come

it's definitely a C&C game

 

[StinkyPinky]

The ridiculous name of the game won't help sales.When I saw the advertising banners i assumed it was some quirky indie game.

 

[Annisman*]

Bought it, its good, a lot like c&c mixed with some sup com

Yeah. Poor name choice. Looks good. But I totally agree with you.

pinky goo be better?

Anyone reminded of Final Fantasy: Spirits Within by the Grey Goo trailer?

It interests me but the comparisons to C&C and Sup Com completely turn me away, as does the price tag.

Completely agree, they spent all that time and effort to make a really polished game and it seems they decided on the name whilst they were drunk.

C+C 95, The cutscenes and acting are top notch, really let down my the campain though, 5 missions for each faction which are just really strung out tutorials. They could have done so much more.

 

[DigDog]

10 missions? for how much ? FIFTY DOLLAH ?!?!?

you gotta be kiddin me. it better have the bestest PvP ever made.

 

[pontifex]

would love to see RTS games return to the old C&C style. I don't care for most modern RTS games these days.

It's 3 factions. So 15 missions I guess...

 

[KeithTalent]

Yeah, thought I was going to get a cool little indie game where I controlled a grey blob. Disappoint.

Correct.

They really missed the boat here, they went down the "nobody plays single player anymore" route and turned the scenario into an reaaaaaaaaaly dwarn out tutorial. The cutscenes and acting are aswesome, they could have done so much more.

It's the most difficult RTS campaign I've played and I've played most. I've pretty much given up on the last mission on hard. The first mission or 2 for each faction are tutorial/easy but they ramp up a lot. I had very little problem beating wings of liberty on brutal and found HoTS too easy but this grey goo is just ridiculous on the last mission

Great deal definitely worth it, although I don't think it was worth the full price I paid for it. Haven't touched it in a long time.

no more than 10 seconds in and he's saying stupid things like "it has been debunked", he's got such an over inflated ego, can't listen to his incoherent rambling for more than a few minutes.
