No, it is very difficult to find a more incompetant AI then that in Transport tycoon.

One of it's finer track designs:




And don't even get me started on how it builds 3 or four stations all beside eachother, doing the same route.

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

"Max Payne, after completing it three times I've found a use for all the weapons and moves, even non-diving bullet-time, which I previously thought was useless."

Me too - I'm halfway through the third time too, and it's IMPOSSIBLE to progress without mastering non-diving bullet time. I've especially found it useful with handling the bosses. Nothing like going dual ingrams, slowly walking up to them while getting dozens of headshots in...

Also, you REALLY learn to use all the weapons. I can't believe how dumb I was to totally ignore the pumpaction shotgun.

Also, prince of persia.

The trick to max payne is planning and thinking about where your enemies will be. You've got to anticipate their movements. If they're running left, you've got to shoot to the left of them, so they won't dodge your shots. Every time you don't hit them is another opportunity for them to hurt you. You also have to keep moving all the time, to reduce their accuracy. Takes alot of practice. Also, if you've got someone high up, you've to roll to the left, crouch and aim QUICKLY.

I totally kick ass in Soldier of Fortune, actually I'm one of the best of the world (though unfortunately there are not as much players as in say CS, or Quake3 ) The only useful weapon there is a mighty shotgun, which is why the shotgun is my most preferred weapon in other games (unreal2 etc..)

Actually I finish every FPS within a few days on hardest level (I finished half-life in one weekend, and I didn't even go hardcore)

I totally hate slow moving FPS games such as CS though, totally suck at that, I want close combat, and the only game I know that is good for that is the above mentioned SoF.

what is the HMG?

Besides, the thing is that most people don't know in the SoF gold patch, the shotty was seriously increased in power, spread, and range...


my god, I just made me a few more headshots, and it just feeled way more natural than those other fony games such as the evil CS!!

well I don't own a single game with all you pros around here, but I used to kick ass in fifa 97 (or was it 98)... noone on the college could beat me in the league

and was good in civ... back than.

these days I guess I am just better than average (I hope ) in what I play, and that is TFC sometimes and lately Wolfenstein Enemy Territory... but that's about it...

IIRC that game didn't come out with multiplayer. Which means it sucks.

I thought I had tic tac toe mastered until last week when my 4.5 yr old handed me a game where she had already made the first move. She had filled in all but 2 squares with crosses already, so she was already up 6-0 before my first move.

man, i remember that game... it had sooo much promise inmy heart... then my massive roman army ran into some preists on the road to the enemy. By the end of the battle most of my army had been converted then destroyed when they attacked my own army. grrr. After that I could only play MP and skirmish games where preists were disabled, cause they really pissed me off eternally. And of course, after playing skirmishes all the time, the game got real old real fast. *sigh* such a cool idea for a game down the drain...
