GLA is completely off the rails and I don't think I even need to explain why they're a parody faction, but USA and China are too. If you pay attention to the unit/faction designs, voice lines, etc there's lots to enjoy.Įvery faction is basically a parody of itself. The game appears to take itself seriously on the surface if you don't think about it too much, but that's exactly why the more subtle humor hits harder.
Your criticism of ZH is mostly valid as well, but I will say definitively that Generals does not take itself too seriously. Imagine if the C&C games were still getting ongoing patch support, new content, new game modes, and new maps on a regular basis today. But the main reason StarCraft 2 remains popular today is because its developer still continues to give it attention and TLC to this day. While not necessarily objectively better than C&C in every way, SC2 does have a lot going for it. but as a life-long C&C fan I have to say most of this criticism is valid. Not surprised you're getting downvoted since this is a C&C sub and C&C has had a long-time rivalry with SC2.
