what was the worst PC game of 2003?

[Stuie]

MOO3.

I only bought four "new" games this past year, and unfortunately MOO3 was one of them. Very disappointing.

Nothing out there comes close to Moo3 for sheer, utter crapiness. Not only did the feckless losers who foisted this misbegotten abortion on the gaming comunity take a royal dump on their fanbase, they also manged to singlehandedly kill an ancient and venerable gaming franchaise by presenting the hugest pile of stinking digital excrement since Outpost as the new Moo crown jewel.

You should've just named the thread "MoO 3 the worst game of 2003".

Here's hoping it didn't completely kill the MoO series.

It will be two years before we will beginto find out if it is dead or not. I hope not, but if it is not going to be any more fun than the last effort, don't bother.

I rather read "War and Peace" than play that nauseating excuse for a game!

I will conceed this. It does have stabilty issues, but its far from unrunable.

it's to hard to get from place to place,

One has many options disposable, including just walking, Silt Striders, mark and recall, to even "COC" (which I use all the time)

to much needs to be remembered (ie required info. isn't put in journal)

I've never had this happen to me

[QUOTE (should have kept the old, old Daggerfall controls), [/QUOTE]

Change them?

and finally it's the only game I ever had (and I have a lot) that actually gives me motion sickness.

This one I've never quite heard of

You are sooo counter-revolutionary

Dark Forces did that to me. I ended up returning it (back in the day when you could actually do that) because my wife couldn't get past the fourth level and I couldn't help because the game made me feel so ill.

Morrowind is heaven or hell. Some users experience a ton of bugs, others don't. It runs very smoothly on my machine, and it was a great experience.

In 2003, my new games were RoN, AoM:Titans expansion (still haven't gotten the time to play it), Morrowind and I think that's it. Also Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, but that's not a game to buy but to download.

Of these, RoN was a great experience, too. As an RTS, it's fantastic, the first RTS that is actually good in single player. As for Multiplayer, the fact that RoN uses GameSpy is a major turnoff. Morrowind is an excellent RPG to me, though I haven't played many games of the genre. AoM:Titans still to be seen. Wolf:ET, though, is some of the best multiplay experience I have had in a while.

So, nothing really bad for me. Not unless it was so horrid that I no longer remember.

[Bonaparte]

Oh, Morrowind runs just fine on my PC and the game never crashed...so no complaints there.

Comrade Tassadar now you know as well as I do that, although the controls can be changed, that they cannot be set the way daggerfall was in any way shape or form...remember all movement and attacks can be done with just the mouse in that game (ie move mouse up character walks forward).

As far as remembering stuff, yeah, there is a lot to remember, just to do one little side quest/task I had to remember the names and locations of 5 NPCs...and to top it off the locations were vague so you would have to approach character after character to find the ones you need to find. This happened a bunch of times...I wish I could give you an example, but I haven't played it in a while...I still need to get some dramamine before I do that.

Baldurs Gate, in my opinion, is the best RPG ever...to bad Black Isle Studios is no more.

For some strange reason, I get motion sickness from Deus-Ex (I'm fine with most other modern FPS). While everybody else raves about Deus-Ex, it literally makes me want to throw up

Oh, and while I didn't buy any new games last year, MOO3 is the worst game of 2003 I would definetly have bought if I hadn't read a review first

[DrSpike]

I don't understand how people get motion sickness......is there some new virtual reality chair that whizzes you around the room that I didn't hear about?

[GhengisFarb™]

I think flashy graphics or refresh rates trick your vision into simulating motion sickness, some people even go into eptileptic fits.

Postal 2

ADG, have you been visitng warez sites?

Postal 2 also gets my vote for worst game of 2003, only because Ive not played MoO3 Im sure.

Morrowind GOTY gets my vote...half the people who bought it couldn't run it of their PCs

I got it for x-box

it's to hard to get from place to place

it is? It might take awhile to get some places but it's not difficult.

to much needs to be remembered (ie required info. isn't put in journal) and therefore it's more like being in a classroom than at home playing a game

too bad I didnt think it like that, I would much prefer games that made you remember details and think more. unfortunatly since the majority of the market is a bunch of lazy 12 year old bums they have to spell everything out for us. (I dont mean to offend you if you are a 12 year old bum )

and finally it's the only game I ever had (and I have a lot) that actually gives me motion sickness.

my mom has the same problem with just about evey game.


but, its all a matter of personal opinion

Go ahead then . I'll play the best RPG ever made.
