OT: You Know I Hate

[Atrocities]

I hate games like Freelancer where they make it so that it is not an ejoyable game. They make it so that the fun is sucked out of the game when you come acrossed a level that is hopelessly unbeatable. Like for instant the Race level. I simply hate the fact that I have now played that level 20 times, and have lost 20 times. When you loose, it is as if you died. You have to redo the level. At this point I normally just uninstall the game in disgust.

After loosing 20 strait turns, I think that it would be best to uninstall the GD game and break the disk into small finite peaces, place those peaces into an evelope and send that envelope to MS with explicited instructions on where to place it.

I will read a walk through to see if I am missing something, but the truth is, even if I have, it will be a long time before I play this game again.

The same thing happened in Diablo II. I played it for days until I ran into one boss that no matter what I did, I could not kill. That sucked the fun right out of the game. UNINSTALLED.

KOTOR - Borning as hell. I paid good money for it and found it to be so boring that I actually fell asleep while playing. How could a game as borning as this win game of the year? - UNINSTALLED

Tribes Vengeance. I paid good money for this game, while the SP is not all the difficult, it does get horridly repetative, the same thing with DOOM 3. Although I still have T:V on my system, I did uninstall DOOM3.

DOOM3 was in a nut shell very repetative with little or no pay off. It was the most borning, unthrilling game I have ever played. The orginal DOOM, despite its graphics, was the better game by far.

DeuEx Ivinisible War - Fun to a point, but I lost interest. What can I say, it happens.

Civ III - Just a horrid game. Horrid horrid horrid. When a musket man can beat a tank, time to uninstall. (I am sure with mods this balance issue has been fixed, but I have no intention of pulluting my HD with a re-install.)

Far Cry - Simply a brillant and fun game to play. However, no decent mods, horrid MP, and very few maps. After the SP game is over, there is not much left to do but cheat. You fly around the map sniping people form unhigh.

Dominions II - A very interesting and addictive game that burns you out with micro-management. This game could benefit from implmentation of some basic concepts for construction, unit, and province management.

Half Life II - Nice looking game, but two short and to spendy for my blood. Not interested.

Star Wars Galaxies - [insert]SHUDDER[/insert] After a long day of working, the Last thing I want to do is come home and log onto a game that is nothing more than a second job.

Now I am sure some opinions will vary when compared to mine, thats ok, there are pros and cons to any game, and I accept that. I just hate it when the game becomes un-enjoyable.

No game should do that. Game developers have to realize that when a game becomes work, then it is no longer fun. With the exception of SEIV. Modding SEIV is as much fun, despite its time consuming process, as the game its self.

I am serious surprised that Aaron has not received an offical industry award for SEIV.
