I went to EB games earlier this week and bought 1602 AD and Patrician II for 3.99 each (Civ 3 in the metal box was selling for 10 dollars each but i didnt bother getting it cause i thought it wouldnt work). I installed and played both games. 1602 could not keep my interest at all because it is first off, an ugly looking game, and secondly, just plain boring with nothing notable about it. I did get into Patrician for a few days and enjoyed trying to get a big profit and play pirate or pirate hunter (and i liked the feel of the game at first) but after a while, I got bored of that game. it got real tedious managing the various convoys and having to change up the ports they were visiting because price fluctuations (mainly because of me dumping a lot of goods at once I guess) made them unprofitable. so the game got old after less than a week playing it.
if anyone has either of these games, is there something to them that makes them fun for a long time and not just tedious? Also, many strategy games are just too damn easy (like Europa Universalis)... have i outgrown strategy games? I mean I didn't even play much Age of Kings or StarCraft either... there seems to be no new game that got the same addictive power as the first WarCraft and the first Age of Empires.
thanks
