Um...Daikatana was released in 2000... |
Really? I never actually saw it, but the gaming mag I used to subscribe to talked about it like it was back in the mists of time
Still, I'd rather play Red Alert 3 than C&C 1.
Edit: I didn't play a number of those games, but Civ just got better and better with the sequels. Warcraft was terrible, I would never subject myself to that now, or Dune. As for modern games, I think that the issue is more that you seem to prefer a genre that doesn't really exist anymore. Turn based games just aren't very common anymore. Just because a game like Starcraft 2 doesn't have the incredible amount of minutiae that a TBS can have doesn't make it a mindless clickfest, its just a constraint of the RTS genre where the player doesn't have TIME to micromanage as many features as a TBS has.
I highly doubt that the number of bugs and inconsistencies has really changed dramatically, that's just the way computer gaming is.
