I've been a fan of the MoO universe sense I bought 2 in, 96, 97? noobnoobnoobnoob I love the game, but they provide different things. What I'm saying is that you have to have a certain mentality to play MoO3 and games like it. The AI is not a pushover, far from it. Your own AI are noobnoobnoobnoobing morons if you don't use mods, but I micro everything, I mean EVERYTHING, that's why I love it. It's so complicated and takes forever, if that's not your thing, fine then its not. Play the game, which you obviously haven't if you think the interface is shoddy, I've counted very few bugs to the game sense the patch game out, average amount for a new game just off the shelf. Nothing wrong with that. I can't argue that itshould have been better with it being in development for so long.

I already gave my opinion of game reviews. And frankly, I give games that get terrible reviews from every major so called "reliable" publication, a closer look then others. Many, are flops, however, a large amount are actually fun games. I'm different( haha, yeah special bus different, get that out of your system) from the mainstream, I know that, I prefer CHALLENGING games that make you think. Believe me, MoO2, and GC, and many other games make you think, but I love the COMPLICATED stuff. MoO3 at one point had an over 100 window interface during development. OVER 100 FREAKING WINDOWS! THAT is how complicated that game originally was, but they brought it down to, what 20 or so, for it to be more manageable? You seemed to miss my point, the MINORITY loves this game, the more hardcore gamers, atleast strategywise, love it. Not all of them either, and casual gamers(the majority of gamers by far, 80-90%) play it to and love it, not too many, but still. I'm not saying I'm some elite hardcore gamer, and I take it as a personal insult that you said that in noobnoobnoobnoobing moron speech. Do I consider myself a hardcore gamer, atleast for strategy games? Yes, Am I some elite guy that thinks he's awesome at all games and knows everything? noobnoobnoobnoob no, I know nothing about RPG's, sport games, couple other genres, pretty much anything fantasy/magic. But I know WHAT areas I'm actually good in. Hell I'll even admit that I suck at MoO3 and god only knows how many other strategy games, why deny it, its true. But I LOVE to play the games, they're so challenging and get you thinking. If some people don't like the more complicated games that make you think more and much MUCH more differently and in different ways, than so be it. I do realize that I was a bit... ah.. 'direct' in what I said earlier and it was probably a bit insulting, for that I apologize, but expect it from me, that's the type of person I am. 'Direct'.
