Seeing as how I made a "Which Geneforge game is best?" poll I decided to make a new one. Now on the other side. Which Geneforge game do you think is the worst? Poll Information This poll contains 1 question(s). 1 user(s) have voted. function launch_voter () { launch_window("http://www.ironycentral.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=poll;d=vote;pollid=CQREOuPCFqMR"); return true; } // end launch_voter function launch_viewer () { launch_window("http://www.ironycentral.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=poll;d=view;pollid=CQREOuPCFqMR"); return true; } // end launch_viewer function launch_window (url) { preview = window.open( url, "preview", "width=550,height=300,toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status,menubar=no,scrollbars,resizable,copyhistory=no" ); window.preview.focus(); return preview; } // end launch_window   -------------------- Spiderweb Software Games I have- BoA Spiderweb Software Game I'm currently playing- G3/4 Demos Current non Spidweb game I'm currently playing- Dragon Quest Monsters Because you care about this.

Well most people don't like G3, but I have only completed G4, so I can't say,and won't vote. -------------------- Hmm... Ornks, gazers and guacamole. What kind of food would you get? =:T:= Posts: 454 | Registered: Monday, August 20 2007 07:00 |

Hmm. Why do so many of you hate G3? What is wrong with it? I only I only played the demos for the games but it seems like G3 & G4 were the best. :confused: -------------------- Spiderweb Software Games I have- BoA Spiderweb Software Game I'm currently playing- G3/4 Demos Current non Spidweb game I'm currently playing- Dragon Quest Monsters Because you care about this.

quote:This has been discussed quite a lot; have a look in the archives. Basically the problem is lack of originality (Jeff actually admitted he got about 10 zones in, realized "hang on, I'm writing the same damn game again" - and then carried on anyway). This, coupled with the truly irritating boat travel and the comparative lack of options when compared with Geneforge 2. Actually there were a few good things about Geneforge 3, and I still enjoy playing it on some levels. However the sheer repetitiveness of the plot makes it suffer in comparison with other spidweb games. Edit: added hyperlink.

quote:Repetitive, constricted, and poorly written. It's obvious that Jeff cut a lot of corners in GF3. I usually can not be bothered playing the game any further once I have reached the 4th island. To summarize, GF3 lacks the atmosphere and immersive storyline presented in GF1, the freedom and new creations/spells in GF2, and the revamping that occurred in GF4.

I know this is off topic but Am I the only one who thought the demo for G1 was huge compared to the others? -------------------- When I close my eyes at night I see David Bowie. Posts: 157 | Registered: Saturday, August 25 2007 07:00 |

Probably. :P Dikiyoba suspects the demos are all similar in size. But, the second one did seem larger than the others to Dikiyoba. Edit: Typo.
