Worst games yopu have purchased....

[King Edward]

As in title what are they?

Mine has to be sudden strike anthology, I really tried to play these but it just didnt do anything for me. too slow paced to be exciting and you have to save every 2 mins as one slight error can make you have to restart 2 hours worth of mission! very frustrating!!!

Other Contenders would be MMO 3, so much hype such a pathetic game, abbout as fun as sticking tooth picks in my eyes. cuthroats was also terribel but guess i was expecting Pirates! remade.

[Despot of the English]

Lords of the Realm 3. Quite the most biggest bag of [crap] I have ever had my misfortune to buy. I read the reviews of it before I bought it and thought it could never be that bad but they were right! It only cost £15 so I don't feel too cheated.

[Fragony]

Turok: evolution for the gamecube. It was only 10 euro and I didn't expect much to begin with, but this was too much. How can this game have framrrate problems when it looks absolutely dreadfull Fragony screamed out loud. Dinosaurs running in to walls no wonder they got extinct.

Empire Earth. I know some people here like it but to me it is the worst game I have played in some ten or so years of gaming. There was not one single thing I liked about it, not one single thing I even felt neutral on, I hated everything about it. It was the game that finally killed any interest I had left in AOE style RTS games.

[King Edward]

I actually quite enjoyed EE for a while but the idea of advancing through history was betterd by the fantastic Rise of Nations.

[Despot of the English]

I think for me Empire Earth came one or two years too late. I loved AOE but by the time I bought EE I was starting to get a little bit bored of those kinds of RTS games. I did, however, manage to get all the way to the last map but never completed it because by that time I had had enough of those kinds of games thus heralding the beginning of the Total War age .

Hey Ja'Chyra mind if I have your copy?

My #1 worst game of all time *drumroll*

"Golf Resort Tycoon"

Followed closely by "Zoo Tycoon"...

I liked Sim Golf but ugh... Just typing the name of that horrible game is hard to do...

And the moral of this story is... NEVER BUY GOLF RESORT TYCOON! NEVER! NEVEEEEEEEER!

[discovery1]

Have to agree with despot:the worst game I have ever bought was Lords of the Realm 3. Poor battles and if I tried to enjoy them my kingdom would end up going to hell in a handbasket while I was away.

A close 2nd would be AOM, but I got it after I had pretty much lost interest in AOE type games

I actually like MOO3, aside from the bad diplomatic AI and the fact that maintaining a fleet was a pain.

[nightcrawlerblue]

Isometric rules...

[discovery1]

Discovery are'nt you old enough to know better that there are occasions that it is better that you just do'nt correct people on certain situations, geez just burst my bubble and make me cry

I guess not, although if making others suffer is the reward for destroying illusions, I never will be

I don't play multiplayer for MTW, although if you want to hunt me down on CoD I play on the tombraider server as either 'discovery_1' or 'what's aiming.'

[Beirut]

CFS3

Buggy, unstable, ugly, horrid. Gave it away free online after less than a week of owning it.

(CFS1, however, was great.)

[Accounting Troll]

Civilization: Call to Power.

I had expected far more after Civilization II and Colonization. Although the graphics were good, the economic development of your cities and surrounding terrain was messed up, diplomacy was unrealistic, half the wonders of the world weren't worth building (even if you just wanted to stop your rivals from building them), the ending was badly thought out, and the combat system is unrealistic - pikemen should not be able to beat airbourne units ever.

It was so terrible that it has put me off ever buying Civ III.

[econ21]

Napoleon 1813 or some such title. It was SO close to being a Napoleonic Total War (and in fact, a more historical one) but it was just broken and ultimately unplayable. The strategy map did not work (my newly recruited French Imperial Guard marched off to join the enemy!) and the real time battles were too clunky to be playable. That it was so close to being wonderful and yet ultimately so utterly crap was painful.

Interestingly the same game designer made a widely marketed Civil War game with the same mix of strategy and battles - it also could have been brilliant but was awful.

Pool of Radiance 2 also should have been good (1st 3rd edition DnD CRPG) but was brain numbingly dull.

If my memory serves me correctley Call to power wasn't done by sid Meier. I think what happened was the publishers wanted to to take the name and create there own civ and sid meier wanted to keep it and make his own with a new publisher. As a comprimise they created two seperate civ's (with sid meiers becoming civ 3).

*the reason may of been different but i know that sid meier had nothing to do with the call to power series*


The worst game i purchased was Anno 1503. couldn't get my head round it at all.
