I already mentioned the level of atrociousness it delivers to mankind.
Edit: I sound spastic in that post.

Ooh, I remember this, quite awhile ago we had a really bad computer, so after awhile my dad got us a new one, and he got this game for me, it's still one of the best strategy games I've ever played.

I mentally picture each comma as a sharp intake of breath before barreling into the next set of words. Followed a period of heavy panting. ...30 seconds of it to be precise, due to the flood control. I then picture you'd be back in the fray.

Actually, it was pretty bad. Meh. That was only February, though, not years ago or anything. *shrug*

Mine was January, and that's before they began my schizophrenia treatment!

Edit: Kinda off topic, but I just found this post from awhile back, and it makes me fear it ! Fear it!

My first post:

I've played quake back in the days it was (relatively) new... Now I just hate it.
I play CS still, in LAN's and whatever, that's probably the only reason I have it installed.
Noticed someone criticizing Ultima Online...* :blink:* Gosh I spent last year playing it, still do, but kinda developed a hate towards the game.. It sucks when everybody forgets it's a game.

Games I was never too fond of:
All UFO's other than the first (love the first one, fanatic about it)
Civilization 3
Halo (all of them)
Max Payne (same as above)



Oh.. and say hello to the newbie (that would be me)*

Sucks, doesn't it?

And I still play Ultima Online :tai:

Here is my first ever post on this board. You'll have to scroll down a little and notice that I wasn't registered yet.

After reading this lengthy thread, I have to admit I have no clue what some people around here says about UFO being hard. It's only hard if you fire yourself in the feet!

Just never overload your men, always keep time for a snapshot + kneeling everyturn and never rush your men into battle. I should say that deploying your men as a team which try to cover eachother while being spread enough to avoid heavy grenade casualty is good also, but really obvious IMHO.

As for the saving every turn thingy, it's about the lamest thing I ever heard! I agree saving everytime you get in and out of a mission is advisable (because even with the right hardware back in the old days the game was not 100% stable), but saving every turn and reloading only to get 0 death is exactly the same as cheating.

I also have to say that playing Xcom: Apocalypse under XP is not easy, but can be done. If you want I can dig up some old links on walkthru on how to do it. I played that game for years, and I have XP.

Edit: What's wrong about UO? If it wasn't because I don't have that kind of cash to waste on multiplayer games, I would still be playing it...

Tough now that I'm thinking about it, I would rather waste money on Laser Squad Nemesis instead.

My first post (as a guest) was about me hating ESA. My first post (as a member) was about a problem in Ringworld:

yes, it does give me the option to restart in ms-dos

Ever heard from the Book Neuromancer (maybe the grandfather of all cyberpunk related books) the orginal book wasn't a graphic novel but years later some rare neuromancer comic books came out... maybe u find them on the internet 4 free dl.

those are my fav. graphic novels... i also like some game related graphic novels
the best of them imho is the Resident Evil graphic novel..[/quote]

i'm still working on my English :whistle:

Its a long one.

I really dislike many games many people seem to love


The Sims series
My own life is much more exciting then these games. Maybe other people just live boring lives?

Halo series
Very average First Person Shooters. Not really that bad, until you start counting all the crazy people who say its the greatest game in the world.

Homeworld series
Pretty to look at, but very simple and easy to beat, with not alot of tactical choices. Although some mods that change the gameplay make it much more fun.

Grand Theft Auto series
The first ones were kind of boring, but I guess fun(If you like running over people)
The 3rd one and its expansion were just horribly boring to me. I prefer some level of realism in games like this. The game physics , bad story and repetitive nature of the game made me hate it.

Most of the Final Fantasy series
The first few were fine as dungeon crawler types, but after VI there is very little redeeming quality left in the series to me.

Most of the Command and Conquer series
The games are essentially exactly the same as time goes on. So very little innovation over so long, especially when the gameplay is so simple, is a bad thing. And Generals was just plain horrible.

Doom 3
Boring, easy, not scary.

Half Life 2
Other then my eternal hatred against Steam, Half Life 2 is okay as a first person shooter. All the people saying its so great make me dislike it strongly though.

Morrowind
Shallow NPCs, shallow quests, shallow game world in general. Severely limited character interaction, almost non existant dialogue, weak combat system. Some of the mods and the last expansion fix some aspects, but they don't fix enough for me to like it.

Neverwinter Nights
Very boring, VERY ugly (How do you make something so ugly with modern graphics? I still play Wasteland and think it looks fine!) the singleplayer is very bad, being almost entirely hack and slash. Thats a problem with alot of D20 games I've found. Just wish this game had more depth, but it didn't. Some of the user created mods are very good, but looking at the game for too long hurt my eyes.

System Shock 1
I played System Shock 2 before System Shock 1. Everything good about it is better in System Shock 2. Since System Shock 2 is so much better, I just could never make myself like System Shock 1 very much, which is odd, because I love System Shock 2 so much.

Xcom Apocalypse
Maybe I'm just afraid of change? To me, the best Xcom game is the first one. Apocalypse just kind of annoyed me with all these little bugs and problems.

Arcanum
I love the boys at Troika, I love indepth Role playing games, I love the steampunk setting. What I don't love is a half finished buggy and imbalanced combat system and so many dungeons that require its use. Please forgive me Troika! I'm sorry!

Wow, this is a really negative first post.

Let me bring it up some by saying I love Sacrafice too! Surprised to see so many people here like it, I thought most people didn't.

Still a pretty negative first post.

Sadly I havn't gotten much more positive since then.

Or you just have a very refined taste in electronic gaming. That's enough to make any self respecting gamer bitter.

Hm. My first post was in the NHL 93 thread, helping some guy out. This was followed by two posts about NHL Hockey and X-com, and the fourth one went to the sing-along thread with the Finnish lyrics of Mis Uszatek / Nalle Luppakorva.

Still enjoy both NHL Hockey and Nalle Luppakorva.
