Do you prefer unlocking stuff or freedom to have everything?

Command and conquer you did not start with the best troops either or buildings or defenses.

 

You would complete missions and get given new troops. Money, you will have to harvest. You could build more harvesters at cost of leaving your base defenseless. Then after the mission is over you lose all your money, troops, buildings and start over again.

 

If nothing else, from this thread I've learned I'll apparently have to be very specific. The point about Command and Conquer (and note here I was referring to the multi-player) was that all of the resources were available to you regardless of how long you've been playing the game (as in overall playtime, not within a session). In addition all of the units of a specific side were available to you (yes, you had to move up a tech tree, but the only thing stopping you was opponent actions. You didn't need to be a specific rank to unlock a stealth tank. Hold off the enemy and secure the resources on the map and you could build one).

In pvp yes. But in the games campaigns you had to work through tbe story to get the better units. You couldnt start the first level of command and conquer and build mammoth tanks or ion cannons and obelisk towers. You had to progress the story to get to use those units. Prince of persia also had progression. You unlocked powers as the game progressed you couldnt start a new game with all your time powers. You had to work through the game to unlock them.

 

But progression is the whats important in games. In gta online. I havebt played for 3 weeks and lets say I don't play it again until next year when they release heists. Lets say you or someone else plays every single day until next year when heists come out.

 

We would both be in the exact same place in tbe game. I had t played for a year and I would be able to jump into heists just as quick as you. Because even though you've played everyday and I havent you havent made any progress or moved ahead of me. We'd both still on the same level so to speak. Thus the game never goes anywhere

I think right now what is more annoying is everytime I grind through the missions and make enough to splash my cash a little, and come to free roam, all I get to deal with is game freezes.......which really sucks the value of grinding and earning stuff out of the game, free roam is just not worth it anymore (invite only is very boring unless, I'm looking for an uninsured street car and don't need any distractions).
