Most disappointing game ever... no question... CIV 3!

Tassadar, I never said Perfect Dark was the worst game ever. I just said it was overhyped and a disappointment.
It also helps if you use the quote function selectively to show which part of the quoted passage you refer to, instead of quoting the whole post.
My posts are long and boring and so you should be kind to the other poor readers who don't want to read it twice

It's a huge hit with the type of gamers who think choosing wallpaper is a valuable feature. A spectacular success.Originally posted by ADG
Well... maybe The Sims is the worst game ever, but was is a dissapointment? What expectations did you have about this game... and was the game, the way you expected it to be, then it's not a dissapointment... boring, maybe, but not a dissapointment...

Biggest Disappointment?
Civ3 of course. Too slow.
As for Non-civ games I'd have to say Warcraft 3.
It loses some of the appeal of the previous Warcraft we waited so long for.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

WC3 is a great game. Why did it disappoint you?Comment

One of Blizzard's longstanding commitments to the gamer was the ability to deliver a very good graphics set at a low system resource consumption.
A commitment that Warcraft 3 evidently decided to take, roll up, and then proceed to stuff right into their [text missing from transmission] pockets."lol internet" ~ AAHZComment

Messiah had superb graphics, pretty good concept, but it was filled with bugs.
It was also hyped, but it had no effect, because Daikatana was published during the same year.Comment

They could have done much better graphics, if they didn't use 3D... and the worst part: They only used the 3D graphics in a way, they could have used 2D graphicsOriginally posted by Alinestra Covelia

So War3 was also a dissapointment...This space is empty... or is it?Comment

Well if the gripe is just that low end systems can't play the game then I am not that sympathetic. Most gamers have a system that can handle it, and it sold bags and bags of copies. On top of that it is a great game SP and MP.Comment

The point was:
I just don't understand WHY they chose 3D graphics... 2D graphics are much better (unless 3D is done right... witch it wasn't in this case), and 2D graphics requires less computer power...
It's like War3 just shot themselfes in the foot, by choosing 3D graphics... The 3D graphics they chose did in NO way, make the game any better... at least that's what I think...This space is empty... or is it?Comment

Well they have to strike a balance. If they do as you suggest (as they would have in days gone by) they would have annoyed people who felt the game was not as pretty as it should have been. Ultimately they willl satisfy the biggest portion of potential gamers, and I'm sorry to say the way they chose is the way the vas majority of games will be from now on.Comment

Most people I know, are also dissapointed by the graphics in the game... So here it doesn't look like the majority wants the type of graphics they chose...This space is empty... or is it?Comment

Apart from some posts here everyone who I have heard criticise the graphics means that they should have been even better, not that they are too good, leading to some people not being able to play the game.
Blizzard satisfied the largest section of the community, as of course they would do. Consequently, WC3 sold bags of copies.Comment

Its a terrible trend this everything in 3D thing, alot of games have beenb ruined because they thought 3D was needed where it wasnt, except to sell more copies. The only games that benefit from 3D (in game enjoyment) are sports and action games stuff like that, where you dont need to intake alot of information at once, you just have a quick blast. Strategy games, i like to feel in control and see everything easily without shifting a 3D camera all over place all the time. My wrist can only take so much

Personally I have always felt that graphics should be secondary to gameplay. But if you can keep gameplay as good whilst having better graphics there is no reason not to, as long as enough of your target consumers have machines that can play the game. The default requirements for WC3 are not that high, and the gameplay is great. Therefore WC3 is a success.
