What the hell happened- MOO3 sucks Suffering from ads?

What happened to this game???????????????
I"m the biggest fan of Master of orion, so many years of waiting and finally when u buy it and play the game for couple of days, all the hopes go down the drain than u wish u never bought the damn game. MOO2 was way more interesting to play even with 2D graphics.
In MOO3 all u do is try to maintain good diplomatic relations and colonize, the rest is all automated. And the combat is so horrible, the ships are so small u cant even see them with some kind of details even with the full zoom in, they like flying dots. And on ground combat they ad list could of created some fighting animation or something to make it more attractive
The research, dont even start me with that.
And whats wrong with ship designs, i started the game 6 time with different species just to check if i get a different ship design, no hope same ship design every time u start a new game.
This game is not even being close of coming to the subject of complex.
In reality everyone is saying that this is a superb game, how about this, stop kissing the MOO3 creators ass and speak on what u truly think about this game. And maybe than they'll think twice before releasing such a hideous game.
High expectations down the drain and thanks for Ruining the game.

I'm not a troll, and for those who say that i'm well they can go and @#$% them selfs.

Posting your opinion about MoO3 in a forum titled "MoO3 - General Discussion" can hardly be considered trolling.

With one laser tech and one missile tech at the start of the game I struggle to think how there could be different ship designs. The diversification comes with what techs are available for you to research and which ones you focus on.

One of the things I like about MoO3 is that even when its obvious I'm about to win the game I still haven't managed to trade or steal every tech from the other players and that the techs you do get and your starting characteristics really do make a difference to your strategy.

But then again I'm falling into the trap of responding seriously to a rant. Bad idea

What i meant as a ship design( not when u research and get cruiser or a titan) what i meant is, when u start the game your ships look the same even if u play with different species. In the movie intro the ships that attacked the guardian, you play with this ships all the time, no matter what species u choose.

Well, this is quite simply untrue. There's 8 different ship styles + one for the New Orions.

Each racial group gets a different ship look. So all the bugs look the same but their ships are different from the humanoids or the robotics...

All I can think of is doing a total uninstall and reinstall unless the IG forums have a known solution to that problem. Its certainly not a universal one.

Yes, i did buy it, and i reinstalled the game twice to see if that would make a difference, well it didnt. since u all have different ships, I guess its another bug or something. A Report needs to be done do Quicksilver about this bug, which i will not do.

I think you're on your own with this bug. Noone else has complained of it, and there's been quite a lot of complaining. You should take the game back, and request another copy. Mybe the shop will test your copy instore, and you'll see if the problem is software or hardware dependant. Bad luck, I'd say.

How about this, broaden your mind and try and accept the fact that some people might actually LIKE the game. Sure it isn't as good as i'd hoped, but i'm happy playing it, as are many other people. I am speaking based on what i truely think when i say I LIKE THIS GAME.

Also, i think you'll find that "everyone saying this is a superb game" is VERY far from the truth, half of the posts here have complaints about it in them

Hard luck on the ships though, best get a replacement copy (or a refund based on what you think of the game).

I don't think its a bad game at all, although there are things that IMO could have been done better, the interface for example.
But there were naturally lots of high expectations, or I should say certain expectations, surrounding MOO3 and that is where the game disappoints some people. This is a different game than the one a lot of people were expecting - I have seen several posts where people have said they would have preferred MOO 2.5 rather than this game.
I would go so far as to speculate that if MOO3 had been released under another title there wouldn't be nearly as many rants about it, although I still wouldn't be crazy about the interface.

I think there should be more ship designs, myself. It doesn't seem like it should be too difficult to add more artwork.

It might help to actually read the pages you post links to. That would enable you to differentiate between a troll and a person whose opinion you disagree with.

Trolls?

There are trolls in Heroes of Might and Magic. Didn't realise that MOO3 had them. I have been totally underwhelmed by MOO3 which is now gathering dust on my shelf, but if it has trolls perhaps I should have another look.

Perhaps we are talking about different things?

Maybe moomaster means all the designs are the same at the start (which they are, and they were in Moo2 as well) and everyone else is saying that the graphics are all different.

Dunno. Just a guess.
