oooo aaron! - looks like moo3 is flopping... ;) do se5 faster?

Ok, I have played the game for about three hours now. What do I think so far? It is a tremendous let down. Space Empires IV should never be compare to Masters Of Orion 3 ever simply because SEIV is a far superior game in every single aspect and regard.

I would fire the entire MOO 3 development team, and hire Malfador to design MOO 4. Great God almighty I can not believe that MOO 3 costs $50.00 bucks. The game is only worth about $10.00 dollars at best.

The graphics are pale, the UI is crap. The planets look like something you would see being displayed on an old 486. Hell the equipment at work has better looking graphics than the "System" display of newest Masters Of Orion game. And the equipment at work is circa 1980's.

For a complete review of MOO3, check the http://astmod.com web site on Sunday. I will be posting my thoughts, and a nice honest review of the game.

I talked to a buddy of mine that bought MOO3 yesterday. His opinion: "Whoa! Does it suck!"

He says it has a few cool features but all in all, a big disappointment. I am, by the way, not gloating, as I had hoped it might be good, sigh. HOI was a major let down also. MTW, not too bad.

"Where have all the good games gone? Long time passing..."

SE4 is still the best game I've bought in the past few years.

I have, and I had to stop before it put me to sleep. What a crappy game. God this game sucks so bad it has the gravitational pull of a mega super dupper galaxy sized black hole.

And I am usually very kind to games, but this game is just plain awful.

Galactic Civilization is coming out next month (3/25). It is also published by Infogrames. Hope that game is much better than MOO3.

It looks like Master of Orion III is designed in such a way that you as the player will never need to or be able to control what is being built on the individual planet. In fact, there are many, many facilities that you absolutely must rely on the computer to build automatically. If you are looking for a game where you can tweak each planet, this is not that game.

I bought the game, and I don't like it. I want to be able to control what is built on each planet. But in this game, that just isn't possible. Oh well...
