Off topic: How are games failing you?

Portal is pretty good as well, heck the whole Orange Box is pretty good.

Hmm... I kind of like sword of the stars actually. I had the misfortune of getting it at around the same time as I got dominions though, and I've not played terribly much else of my own volition since I started playing dominions :P There are definitely things I dislike about sword of the stars, but I thought it had some good ideas.

Oh it certainly has some good ideas. In fact there were a number of things that I did like about it. But there are enormous, and I mean "can fly a battlecruiser through them" enormous flaws in the tactical combat. Also, the expansion introduces a race that plays a little like Ermor, and they are completely obnoxious, they make the game non-fun.

I started out kind of liking it. Then I started to not like it much. Then I learned some of the more advanced concepts in the game, and I started to like it a lot more. Then I hit the wall.

I never got born of blood, but I can certainly see them making the game a lot less fun. I'd heard about the issues with the heavy beams, but I never really had much opportunity to test them. I never got past playing easy mode, so I never had to fight enemy dreadnaughts or even many cruisers :P. So I never really got acquainted well acquainted with the bad parts I guess.
