Masters of Orion 3 THAT Bad?

[jdirks]

I mean... I heard that Masters of Orion 3 wasn't that good, but so bad that you get it for FREE?

Take it from a longtime MOO/MOO2 fan, at free, it's overpriced.

I don't recall EVER waiting so anxiously for a sequel. I watched the official developers sites/boards and made repeated comments as to how there was appearing to be, an excessive amount of micromanagement and minor detail in the game. I was repeatedly told that this was simply not true and that the designers were dilegently working to NOT create a micromanagement nightmare. In point of fact, that nightmare, is EXACTLY what they did create. Never have I been more disappointed in a game.

Because of my fears surrounding it, I bought my copy via ebay. Got it on Fri night. Installed it Sat night afterwork. Toyed with it till about midnight. Up at 6, try until noon. Grew so fed up with the thing, by 1, it was back on ebay.
