Who else could they have made though? There's really not too many factions to use...

If they couldn't make anything unique, they should've left it alone.

But this is EA, and all they want is money.

Isn't that the goal of all game companies though? True, some care more than others, but still, it's a buisness. I think the expansion is better than the original still.

One of the games I think they ruined the most is Command & Conquer when they discontiuned Westwood and brought in their own retards to make a new Red Alert 3 they threw averything that made the game work, they got rid of the idea you must spawn units carefully to cancel the other guys advantage so if they spam tanks you build anti-tank infantry but of course you build others to go along with and it worked, but in RA 3 the general idea is tossed for special units with powers that DON'T EVEN WORK. I swear I get sick looking at the crappy graphics and even more upset at the general lack of good gameplay. The graphics on Generals in comparison by age is a hundred times better than RA 3. The game is such a letdown but I have faith in the rebuilt Westwood studios though I forget their new name but they have a new stand-alone game in the works that looks and plays like a better and bigger version of Generals though with most of their funding gone by starting from square one and no big company supporters it isn't the nicest looking game. Maybe like a slight over haul from Generals unfortunelty but I still have hope. EA CAN GO JUMP INTO BACKRUPCY FOR THEIR IDIOCY!

Ah, RTS games... They're fun, they're annoying, and sometimes, they're downright demonic... Especially Paraworld... I still get nightmares of being 10 minutes into the game, and having Tyrannosaur Titans at my door, tearing it apart, while my guys are only at epoch 2 or 3...

Anyways, yes, game companies to screw people over for teh money... look no futher than...Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, which is the original MvC3, but with 12 new players. That's right folks. You buy the original, thinking it rocks, then a while later, they announce a re-release of it, but with new characters!....

That, ladies and gentlemen, is extortion at it's best... they could have just made some DLC for it, but no... they needed MONEY...

Ok I got a few facts wrong or forgot to state them Westwood is now Trion Worlds Studios and they are working with the awsome Petroglyph Studios I love those guys they have made several fun and stunning games like Pharaoh, Emporer: Rise of the middle Kingdom, and Children of the Nile a huge 3d upgrade on Pharaoh, also the game is called End of Nations and since the early images it's gotten mucher bigger and way better than I hoped. I'm linking the site now in general games go check it out won't ya?

Anyone read a Stephen Baxter novel lately? I recently read Titan and enjoyed it almost as much as Evolution,then again the latter was and still is my favorite of his works I will say this about both books however there are bits you definitely wouldn't want to read to your children(ie swearing and such)

Why can't my version of Bagan kick so much ***?

Oh yeah... 'Power Playing'... :-_-:

You don't have to power play to make Bagan a powerful monster. You just made him a complete pansy the first fight he was actually in.

Yeah you do that....

You know when I looked at how people portrayed dinosaurs back in the early years of their discovery I realize just how little they knew about them,I mean don't get me wrong we don't know everything about them.But back then dinosaurs were defined at stupid lumbering cold-blooded reptilian idiots,it just goes to show how much our understanding about them has grown and as a result our view on them changed.We know know of dinosaurs with feathers,the notion that many if not all theropods were warm-blooded,and in the case of some like troodon a high intelligence for the animal's brain to body ratio

What is his main weapon? Because in the profile you said he shoots plasma, Horus' energy panels absorb thermal energy. Two different things.

And, the way you went about it was really stupid. You did a complete 180 on Bagan's personality. As soon as Horus got the upper hand you made him go "NU UH I WASN'T DOING EVIL, HONEST". The moment Horus started his self righteous BS, you should've had Bagan tell him to cram it, then leave. Not like Horus could kill him or anything.

Hence me bashing my head against the wall, TT. When it comes to making one's personality, I fail epically. Now that I look back at it, I just want to choke myself over how STUPIDLY I handled that. I failed completely at making Bagan what I wanted him to be. There's so many thing I could have done better, but alas, my stupidity knows no bounds...

and as for Horus supposedly being unable to absorb plasma... well, apparently, KP had other things in mind...

The thumping wings of the Sentinel streaked through the plume of flames and smoke from the blast, wisps of black smoke tracing behind the Dragon's massive wings. two beacons of light glowed in the smoke, the Beast's piercing eyes looking down at the monster through the cloud, having absorbed the energy. The Dragon shot forward through the smoke, tearing past the creature overhead going nearly twice the speed of sound, a booming sonic shockwave ripping through the sky like a thunderclap as he shot past overhead, the razor edge of the Dragon's tail slamming into Bagan's face as he passed, leaving a long gash across the beast's skull, right under the eye, the blow knocking the beast sideways , the glowing edges of the tail gaining a golden tint as the energy receptors went back into standby mode, Horus streaking round, a low growl rumbing in the behemoth's chest...

plasma is a state of matter typically found at very high temperatures. hence, thermal energy. he just absorbed the energy from that. the plasma itself is still there, just severely hindered due to the fact Horus sucked the source of it's destructive power, the heat, out of it.

though if someone wants to explain plasma to me in a way that the thermal energy is not it's driving force as a weapon, feel free and i'll gladly adjust to suit. i simply reacted to my understanding of weaponized plasma...[considering the most common depiction of weaponized plasma both realistically and in popular culture is that of a burning blast [or beam] of matter, it's logical to assume thermal energy is the source of it's destructive power].

lol. I'm realistic. I don't do things he doesn't leave himself open to...


...though considering I've spent 5 years using Crusher, I know more or less all the shortcomings of using a Rex. so he'd have to be careful :P


btw, how's the arm?

The same reason why Godzilla spews radiation that still burns things: Its fiction.

One could argue that a thermonuclear ray does indeed have thermal energy, but in the godzilla universe it is taken as nuclear energy. If we were going by realism, then there would be no plasma beams, plasma barrages, etc etc because plasma itself is essentially sludge.

So no, plasma does not mean thermal in the Godzilla universe.
