At launch (and the following six months) the AI was not capable of transporting armies by sea. As in, it did not know how to load troops on boats, move the boats across water, and offload the troops there. It couldn't do it.

In a game specifically about global empires the AI could only send troops somewhere if they could walk.

my first thought was buying doom 3 on the day it came out, but i actually kind of had fun with that game by running around chainsawing everything like a retarded space leatherface

worst mistake was definitely hitman absolution which was so loving lovely that i didnt buy any new video games until the new doom (which owns)

SILENT MAJORITY
In almost every game there's a cutscene where the villain is powerless before the protagonist and I'm always saying "just shoot him, you rear end in a top hat. He's within reach of the detonator" and the protagonist decides to be a merciful idiot so now we have another boss fight for the dumbest reason: the hero with the muscles and the guns and the gently caress-you attitude is just a complete pussy about killing the unarmed, GOD I HATE THIS.

It's one of the few games I've played that for the most part managed to get less and less fun as it kept getting updated.

The Mod was an awesome mess but it wasn't $30.

There were some good times. We were always spot-on with voice comms.

I really wanted to get into oblivion, but gently caress that leveling system. Even then, the world feels bland and the only way to really be effective is learning how to break game mechanics.

Somehow getting an automatic save game as I am falling to my doom. Just need yakkity sax playing as I loop endlessly.

I got pretty excited about this new turok game coming out for gamecube, I made it to the first tutorial area, boxed it up and tried to take it back.

The only thing worse was when I was at vodes house around when he got superman64. We were playing my copy of mario kart64 when he tried to step over the console, kicking the game and breaking the pins off in the console. Good times, good times.
