Did the developers stop and think "Wow, this game sucks!" - And then release it anyway for the money?
If you like boring games.
If you like games that have worse graphics than Diablo 1.
If you like games that were overly simplified so you don't have to have any complexity.
If you like laggy, buggy, lame games.
You'll love EE3.
This game... made me gasp. I started it up... Installed it. I was so "Woo" This is gonna be good, right? I mean.. Come on. I loved EE1.
But nope. I even tried to play into it a little thinking, come on, this can't be ALL that's available to me. Lol! Then I saw the light. This game was simplified.
Let me say this again.
A Game about ADVANCING your civilization.
Training an army.
Building defenses.
Controlling Territory
Waging epic battles
Resource control
World Domination
---------------------------- Was simplified to the crappiest RTS ever made.
I'm sorry, Sierra published this?
If I was whomever was in charge of saying "Hey, go ahead and release it"
It'd have been "Wow, format and restart this game's production."
At one point, did the developers stop and say.... Wow... This game is horrible! And, did they even test it? and notice how BAD it was?
Lol.. So the game came out, and the patch came out.
The patch gave me more glitches than it solved. Units were "warping" as they ran... I'm running a core2duo, 2gb ddr2 800, radeon x1950 pro.
I didn't have what you'd call.. "Lag" But, I have what you'd call
"Ugly Graphics, And Graphical Glitches When On Max"
I had to turn every detail to "LOW" to solve the warping.
...But I got frame rate lag on LOW. Lol?
So... In short. Don't buy this game. Don't ever play it. Flip Sierra, and the developers the bird.
Sierra, I'll really think twice about buying a game that you publish, if this is the quality you demand in contracts.
