Empire total war, while the franchise is good this was just really a test of Napoleon IMO.

Star wars: Knights of the old republic 2
I got deeply disappointed by this.
The amount of new features it had was pretty low.
Gameplay felt the same as in kotor 1.
The ending is HORRIBLE, just a small clip where you fly outside of an asteroid. This is the same ending for both dark and light sides, considering the game has given you liberty of chosing wich path you shall walk on.
Overall, it felt like a shittier kotor 1.

Well, it should come as no surprise that I was beaten to saying WoW. I'll go with every Final Fantasy after X, ruined the franchise.

Well, it wasn't made by BioWare, and we can't all be BioWare.

They ruined it when they started making fucking modern/future games instead of medieval style ones.

Don't play much modern stuff, but there are a shed load of older bit era stuff that was a huge mistake:

* Back to the Future II (Mega Drive). Played it once. It was painful.
* Super Monaco GP (Game Gear). Nothing about the game could in any way be said to be good.
* Ecco: Defender of the Future (Dreamcast). Pretty, but trashes the narrative of the originals.
* G-LOC (Master System). End of level bosses in a combat flight sim? WTF?
* Turbo Outrun (Mega Drive). No. Just no.
* Trevor McFur in the Crescent Galaxy (Jaguar). Trevor McFur? Srsly? Oh, and some sound would be nice :palm:
* Club Drive (Jaguar). Kill it. Kill it with fire.

Idk, some of them were done pretty well, VII, VIII, and X, I thoroughly enjoyed, but even those were more Steampunk than anything else. I think trying to cash in on online play and losing the focus on story was what really killed it. As well as charging a subscription fee.

While it was still an ok game I would much rather play Rome or Medieval II and with Napoleon being such a similar game it just felt like a test to me.

It is so flipen easy to beat that game! I owned at it.

Eh, I honestly wouldn't know. I'm just making a ridiculous proposition based on stereotypes, third or fourth hand accounts of the game, and one memorable episode of Lizzy McGuire (yeah, I use to watch it as a kid, so what, Duff was and is hot) where some guy gets hooked on it, loses sleep and adopts a zombie like complexion. In short, how I make all my decisions.


Actually, most everyone I play with, or know who plays, has a girlfriend, wife, or at the very least is not alone on the weekends. I myself love the system, and have a girlfriend who loves it when I play as it gets me out of her hair. Heh. It's actually not that bad.

That said, I learned the system in a little less than a month just by playing and looking a few rules up. Meeting once a week. His description is pretty off-base.

Honestly there hasn't been a good Mortal Kombat game since the original two were in the arcade. All the console versions were constant letdowns.

I hope you mean 6 when you say 3.

Any game based off movies I guess. Minus Lego Indiana Jones and the other ones.



Right I do mean 6, but I really didnt like 3,4,and 5 (Japan) although they weren't that bad. 7 was okay but massively overrated. And any FF after that is pure garbage.

But the worst FF game hands down is Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest for SNES.

WoW kicked the "shitty MMO" craze into high gear, and led to good MMOs being treated like dirt by publishers because they weren't drawing massive crowds of idiots to spend all day every day grinding gold and exp without anything interesting going on.

I've been playing World of Warcraft since it started.

Gotta tell you, after a couple of expansions, it gets old. I do agree that every other MMORPG tries to copy WoW, and I can't really blame them. But they're just hurting themselves in the end.

And, I love Legend of Zelda: OOT. But I hate it. I haven't beaten it and I've had it since the '90s.
It is my firm belief that it is a mistake to have firm beliefs.

Really? Look up an old strategy guide at that point. Because you need to try the master quest that follows beating the game.
