Popular games you have absolutely zero respect for

[Skanky Burns]

People who like solving puzzles while looking at a woman?

Yeah, I don't like solving puzzles either.

You think Caesar 3 was too much work? No wonder you hate Simcity 4

It is a lot of work figuring out what the point is. In the end you must come to the inevitable conclusion that there is none, and unistall the game. In my lighter moments I like to think that the creators are making a subtle statement on the ephemeral nature of existence, but that's probably not the case.

i really enjoyed caesar 3, though at the harder levels it is a lot of work, its really demanding of perfectly laid out streets, etc.

pharoah totally owns caesar 3.

Yep... way too much work for what payoff? Another level where the work just gets harder? Bah! SimCity 4 is also another too complicated, too much work sim. SimCity 2 was perfection.. it wasn't too complicated, it wasn't too much work. It was just the right level of work to get to the fun part.

Well, you guys were right. Played Diablo2 for the last few days and it dia blows. You either are clicking everywhere and bashing non-problem monsters, or getting wasted by the bosses (not yet), or the mobs of medium monsters. Either way, there is nothing new.

OTOH, AoW is eating all my time and it is great so far. As one gamer said, best MoM like game since...well MoM.

Yeah, wish I never got that game (Diablo2). It's just dull, dull, dull.

If the "funpart" is when you've filled up all the land and no longer have anything to do, then yes, you're right.

I arcologies. There is something satisfying about being able to transform a city into something truly futuristic instead of just slightly shinier normal buildings.

What ruined SC4 for me was the way schools and hospitals had to be radically rebalanced every time I loaded the game. It just became too much of a chore when they were perfect before I left.

And I the fact that they have removed those things from the game...




Would be interesting to have a completely different game where to point is to own and control a such arco-thing... kinda like SimCity, though still different...

naw you just suck . Diablo2 is good for mindless fun. Hey, it's the only action game I play. I don't normally play those types of games.

I persopnally preferred Caesar 3 to all of the sim city games. I like the whole part about having to please the gods, and also the whole historical aspect of being back in time in such a great empire was also pretty cool too.

A game that was popular that I have no respect for is Black and White.

was black and white ever popular? Well I guess so because they are making a sequal. But I don't remember that many people talking about it.

I don't know anyone who actually liked the game...

I'll agree to disagree. I loved it at first, but it got old real quick.
