Guess the GameSpot score for C&C3.

So the game comes out in about a week and there most probably won't be a GS review for C&C3 for another 2 to 3 weeks after its release, but it still fun to guess what you think the GS score will be.

So vote and have at it. If you choose, plz tell why you rated at a certain score.  

I'm totally new in the C&C-Series, i played the demo and have to say, that it was quite fun for a while. BUT: i heard from different RTS-Fans that the game lacks depth,... i had such experiences from earlier EA-Games. BfME was such a game, i played it only a few days, 

for sure it is too early to say... i'm waiting for the review. Doesn't look too good for now, Gamerankings Average: 86% / 2 Reviews.  

 actually i'm playing Company of Heroes,  a solid and deep game for me.

Since when is 86% a bad thing?smokeydabear076

you have to look on the whole picture, 86% is the Average-Score.

"PC Gamer" rated C&C3 very good 90%

"PC Gamer UK" rated C&C3 good 82%

but you're definitely right, 82% is still a good game (but for myself a game with that score is not as good as the RTS-Games i'd like to play)

Other Question, which of this (only) two magazines is more trustworthy? Let's wait and see ;)

PS: i compared some scores from both magazines on Gamerankings:

Game / PC-Gamer / PC-Gamer UK / UserAverage

BfME / 86 / 73 / 79

BfME2 / 90 / 80 / 58

CoH / 96 / 94 / 94

RoN:RoL / 89 / 87 / 84

so far PC-Gamer tends to give too high scores, PC-Gamer UK is closer to the Average Userscore...

the following Games got similar scores

Rome / 92 / 95

Supreme C. / 91 / 90

DoW / 87 / 91

DoW: DC / 79 / 80

IMHO PC-Gamer UK is right, i haven't seen enough depth in this game from the demo

I'm looking forward to the Gamespot Review :)

Im guessing it will get a 7.5, judging by GameSpot's growing expectations

7 for Gameplay (No major innovations, Easy to pick up and play)

7 for Sound (Hard to judge on that)

7 for Graphics (Supreme Commander tops it)

9 for Value (Great Online System)

7 for Tilt (Hard to judge on that)

I am still getting this game as C&C is one of my favorite franchises from 1995. The online system should be excellent, the cutscenes/map editors are always solid. The game goes back to its root with some minor enchancements that does not break the system that made C&C one of the best RTS in history. GS will likely frown upon the fact that C&C3 will not contribute something unique to the RTS genre.

I actually would have to say C&C3 has better graphics. Not only will it run on ANYTHING, but the map design from what I have seen so far has MUCH more personality and detail than SupCom's maps, not to mention the effects for C&C3 are superb (not saying SupCom's is bad). One of the faults with SupCom is the not-to-special enviornments, and the fact that EVERY SINGE MULTIPLAYER MAP IS SYMETRICAL... but of course the added map details are possible with C&C3 considering that its on a much smaller field of play.

Sound is SUPERB, I dont know why it would get a 7. The voice acting adds alot to the score you know. I cant see that getting lower than an 8-9 (remeber supcom got a 7 on sound, mostly due to unit sounds and effects being wonkey).

I'm thinking an 8 on gameplay. Its great, but its same-old (not nessciarly bad), and its way too fast for somone who doesnt have doom-like FPS click-fest skillz in an RTS game.

So yeah, 8.6-7 or so. I think SupCom will have its upper hand in gameplay/lasting factor, but the overall polish, and online systems will be better implemented for C&C3. And teh single player story mode, which is what C&C is best known for.

Considering the gameplay is reminiscent of oldschool C&C gameplay, it's not going to score very well unless it has a mindblowing presentation, with both a well customizable multiplayer mode, and story that makes sense.....

 C&C3 will have to do something special to claim place as my next RTS purchase, else I'm just going for Supreme Commander.

Probably mid-8s. The only real problem reviewers have is that it's the same old thing. What they don't realize, is us the players want the same old thing. IT'S COMMAND & CONQUER PEOPLE.krazyorange

So let me get this straight. If you had two games with the same gameplay but different graphics, you would actually CHOOSE to play the uglier of the two? You're not a gamer. YOu're an emo.

Gameplay: 8
Graphics: 9
Sound: 8
Value: 8
Tilt: 9

Total score of 8.4.  I think it will be lower than that, however.

You miss the point of his argument.  I believe the point he is making is that graphics are a poor substitute to fill in gaps left by poor or average gameplay.  While I love C&C, I definately think the gameplay of C&C3 will be inferior to Red Alert 2 and even Generals.

Its still gonna rock, though! WOOOOOOOOOO KANE LIVES!

Its good enough to get an 8.9-8.0. Its definitely better than CnC Generals.gam3r3OOO

I haven't played too much C&C, so I have to go by hearsay mostly, and the hearsay is that the game is returning to its roots. Now, if the roots are Tiberian Sun and Tiberian Dawn, then I guess what you're saying is that Red Alert and Generals had better gameplay than TS and TD. I'm sure you'd know better than I, but I wonder if that is a widely accepted fact or are the opinions split between C&C fans?

 Either way, I was responding to the claim that "graphics are ruining the RTS genre." In or out of context, that's just a silly statement, whatever way you look at it.

maybe he meant that the overview would get lost, because of too much effects on screen... and this is bad in a RTS ;)
