Very childish question

Post image

Who was your biggest crush throughout the Command & Conquer series?

For me it was Dasha Fedorovich, good god my crush was mental for her 😂

If you haven't watched "Banshee" on NowTV, go watch it, the main actor is awesome and she does a great job on there too.

I can't believe that Zofia isn't mentioned that much 😵 she is the one and only for me

u/elmarcelito 1d ago

Zofia is a baddie

u/BigBadVolk97 1d ago

Definitely a big reason I played through the soviet campaigns three times.

u/kirosvds 1d ago

I remember being a well, not a kid but not a grown man either.

I think it was the first time I really scrolled through the credits of a game to know her name.

This was really my first "celebrity" crush, hehe.

u/MrHarrasment 1d ago

My first celebrity crush was at like 11. When Avril Lavigne released her first album.

u/MakeLoveNotWarPls 1d ago

Sk8er boy, right?

u/MrHarrasment 1d ago

'Let go' was the album but sk8er boy was definitely the most famous song on it.

Zofia Very much awakened something in me! 😅

u/kelvinth1987 1d ago

I am with you, she was and is a baddie in the game and second place is Lt Eva especially during the yuri's revenge campaign that ending.

Zofia is one of the major influences in my taste in women as an adult I swear to god.

Authoritative tomboys my beloved.

Zofia was my Slavic woman awakening. Although with her RA2 hairdo, not as keen on the YR ‘do.

Each to their own, of course.

Ok, now I gotta reinstall and playback the Soviet campaign to watch it and also pay homage to Tim Curry.

29

u/Vladishun 1d ago

Red Alert 3 is one of my least favorite games from a mechanics perspective, but I absolutely love the cast and insanely over the top story elements. Mount Rushmore housing a different super weapon in every old president's head was the moment that really sold it for me, but in hindsight I just love how they got Tim Curry, J.K. Simmons, and George Takei to be at each others throats for a video game.

5

u/DanNeider 23h ago

IMO they wanted to avoid the "tank rush on repeat" gameplay of RA2, but they went too far with it

u/The_Pastmaster Nod 1d ago

Yeah, the acting is top notch. Just kinda sad that the game is a bit ass.

Also her maniacal laughing. Red Alert 2 & Yuri's Revenge are top tier RTS.

I do wish I had the finances to hire people like Red Alert did for their actors. Man, Strike Order would be insane, but no no, I have to do it at a "no" budget way and use my own design and mind 😂

I didn't watch Sliders, but she was definitely an early crush of mine because of Red Alert 2. I spent many a night netscaping her pics.

You can't imagine my surprise when I was working my way through the complete series of Buffy and saw Dasha show up. It only took me eight or so years to recognise her. 

But to answer your question my biggest crush in C&C is a dead heat between Athena Massey (especially in that dress at the end of Yuri's Revenge) and Aleksandra Kaniak who cemented my lifelong weakness for tall brunettes and Slavic accents. 

Tricia Helfer, Dark!Jennifer Morrison from C&C3 and Monika Schnarre from Tiberian Sun all jostle for second place.

11

u/Preseli-Games 1d ago

Dasha... buffy?!! Well, I may ask my vampire crazy wife to watch Buffy because I'm being a loving husband then! 😂

Athena Massey was just a cute girl in the background in Tiberian Sun. In fact, I didn't draw the connection that she's Eva of Red Alert 2 for years. And I've been crushing on Eva from RA2 the whole time. Felt really stupid for not recognizing her in Tiberian Sun.
