Diarog Lethuta Warrior Member # 5966	written Tuesday, June 28 2005 09:20 Profile Homepage #8 Please excuse the disrespect I showed to Exile I. I do love the game, and every other Spideweb game I've played ( Exile II, Exile III, Avernum III, BoA). All I wanted was to have some input. I guess since in my opinion, there is no such thing as "the worst game" that I've played. I just picked on Exile because I'm such a jerk. Girls are always telling me this. Why don't I listen to them? I probably shouldn't have posted in the first place. I'm very, very sorry. :o -- Diarog Lethuta -------------------- Ever since I met you so very long ago, There's been something I've badly needed to know, Do you love me and want to end my pain?

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Tuesday, June 28 2005 13:46 Profile Homepage #15 Homeland wins by a mile. Although GC is the cool game to hate, I actually think Ocean Bound is less entertaining. It's just less spectacularly unenthralling. —Alorael, who has to put E1 at the bottom of Jeff's games. It's spectacular for a first effort, but the engine improvements clearly show that it was a first effort. Second worst is much less obvious. He might even vote for a Geneforge purely on the basis of having no urge to register them. Posts: 14579 \| Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00

It's just less spectacularly unenthralling.. Hear, hear. I played Lost Souls on and off for a few days, but shut down Ocean Bound shortly after tinkering around with it for only a minute or so. The closest thing I can compare it to is playing SimCity, but without the city. My position on Galactic Core is fairly well known, so I shan't go into any more details on the matter here in this more public forum. I can do whatever I like in the RWG forum, though, 'cause nobody down there gives a darn. I may not run around naked with a rubber chicken strapped to my head in front of a full baseball stadium, but it's fun to do so in my best friend's basement. I may be an idiot, but I'm no fool! I voted Homeland worst game though I've never played it (naturally). Just hearing the horror stories about it was scary enough. Brazenly unfair, of course, but there you are. I'd play the demo just for the heck of it, but I don't have a Windows computer. Ocean Bound got second-worst. EDIT: Added two sentences (not including this one, duh), and corrected a couple of typos.

Sturg Master Member # 4614	written Wednesday, June 29 2005 07:57 Profile Homepage #19 Yeah, really, the Best Games poll effectively shows the worst games also, and it's already been said quite a few times that Homeland was the worst. But yeah, it would be more interesting to make it the worst Spiderweb game, though that might have already been done too. -------------------- -ben4808 For those who love to spam: CSM Forums RIFQ Posts: 3360 \| Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00

Micawber Agent Member # 2759	written Thursday, June 30 2005 02:45 Profile Homepage #21 Re Homeland, even though Homeland continues to be rated as the worst game on these boards, I observe that my recently acquired Geneforge 3 CD-ROM still includes the Homeland demo. Despite the fact that it is no longer listed on the spidweb order form. Perhaps it should also ship with a health warning... Re Spiderweb originals, from analysing the results of Ash's poll (55 votes to date) I see that the least-liked Spiderweb game and the most-disliked Spiderweb game are not the same thing. Calculating percentages based only on people who have actually tried the game: Least votes for great game 1: Exile 1 (18%) [7 votes] 2: Avernum 1 (28%) 3: Geneforge 2 (37%) Most votes for terrible game 1: Exile 2 (7%) [3 votes] 2: Geneforge 3 (6%) 3: Exile 1 (5%) Note, however, that more people liked these games than disliked them. Also compare the votes for terrible game with the non-spiderweb games: Homeland 71.4%; Galactic Core 42.9%. Spiderweb is miles ahead. The results are slightly different if you group together great+good and terrible+poor: Least votes for great+good 1: Exile 1 (43%) [17 votes] 2: Exile 2 (63%) 3: Exile 3 (65%) Most votes for terrible+poor 1: Exile 1 (20%) [8 votes] 2: Geneforge 2 (17%) 3: Geneforge 1 (13%) So if you take mildly-held views into account then Exile 1 comes out worst. Note however that even so, more than twice as many people liked it as disliked it. That's a pretty good stat for the company's "worst" game. -------------------- Everything I know about the Avernum Trilogy: [ A1 \| A2 \| A3 ] Posts: 1104 \| Registered: Monday, March 10 2003 08:00
Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Thursday, June 30 2005 03:06 Profile Homepage #22 Yes, but that the non spiderwebgames may be voted less in this poll, can also be a result of the following thought: "All the games of spiderweb I liked, so naturally a vote for the ones that are non-spiderweb, so I can support Spiderweb" I think that if you haven't tried the non-spiderweb games and you played the non-spiderweb games for more then a day or so and stil find it crap, THEN you can vote against them. But if everyone starts voting for things they don't know, we can close this poll immediatly. And I don't say this because I like the non-spiderweb games. -------------------- Thralni's almighty Avernum pages: My webpage, containing scenario's and graphics made by me (And maybe someday the homepage of the almighty chicken gods).
