MOO3 *looks for rope to hang myself*

[Voivod]

I loved MOO2.....but wow, what a piece of shit the new game is...

Here is what you do every turn, (macromanagement instead of micromanagement now)
1-Start game
2- Look at what the game has done.
3-CLick on "End Turn"
4-Repeat


man, that it some kinda fun!!

LOL, I cant stand any turn based strategy for very long. There are some good ones out there like Alpha Centauri but man they get boring. Im just going to have to stick to FPS, keeps my attention better.

[Voivod]

its just a mess...the interface looks like it was done by a 6 year old. You can only get 800x600...so on a big monitor it looks like crap. The fonts choosen were a joke...i replaced them with a basic font so the text didnt bleed on the screen...

And thats just the look of the game....

Needless to say its going back today, Now i just need to decide what to get

What's MOO3?

[Voivod]

Master Of Orion 3

[ash933]

Ahhh, so that was overated?

I swear I coulda saw a big piece of hype about that before...

[Voivod]

massive hype...it shoulda been great.

They let a new company develop the game, and instead of one being able to control your empire, you have Viceroys (AI that does most everything for your u)

One of the whole points to that type of games is to get down to basics and build up as u see fit.....guess they thought that removing the fun would sell......idiots.

MOO3 truly sucked. Waaaaaaaay too complex. Bad interface. Horrible ship UI. Crappy combat. Galaxy is... too big and too cluttered. Too much micromanaging. So... yeah. The only bit I did like was the diplomany screens which were nice.

Ya know, kinda makes you wonder if PCIGN was payed... a 9.2? Holy hell. Nah, IGN is straight but that guy who reviewed it... he sure likes his games.

[AVataRR]

heh, I was just about to start a poll thread about this game..

Oh whell.. I guess games will have to depend on the Armada games to get their big space battle kicks. I really had high hopes for this game. :(

Yeah, the new MOO3 game is actually quite bad. We're gonna post our review today, so stay tuned folks!

[Voivod]

please rip the shit out of this game....it deserves to be in the hall of shame!!

[2Lions]

I dunno, dude. VADAR is writing a review right now. His face looks serious. Maybe he's concentrating, or dying to take a dump? Who knows...

[Voivod]

tell VADAR to remember what MOO2 was.....a great game....3,474 steps of de-evolution does not make a great game! lol

i wrote a C++ game in school that was more fun than that....and it sucked too!!

[Voivod]

pretty fair review of the game....i would agree with most everything stated except the part about the discovery aspect of the game.

It was pretty fun for a few turns....until it your AI took over and built things as it sees fit. While you can use a dev plan, the AI ignores it after you click on the turn button. The you have to re-submit what you want done.

You kinda feel like a king with little to do...

[2Lions]

Heh, well isn't that just swell... You can actually be bored while playing a game. Now I know this game is off my "must play" list! :)

[Raxc]

I want to destroy Quicksliver or whatever that dev team is called. They have tarnished the name of MOO.
