I would have to say Civilization III. And yet I keep playing it.

Chronicles of the Sword... Or World of Warcraft.

Ugh.

on PS one called D

I would have to say Civilization III. And yet I keep playing it.

Herecy!

For me, it would be a close tie between Project Eden and Dark Cloud, although Dark Cloud probably takes the cake, I actually want to play PE.

Probably Europa Universalis II if you're playing as any of the Native American tribes.

"Ok, I've conquered as much of North America as I can find, now I'll just sit here for 30 years and wait for the Europeans to show up"

with out a doubt, all the final fantasies.

Again, herecy.

You obviously haven't played Final Fantasy XII.

I've only ever played Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, and I liked that.

Burn the Heritic! Burn him! The flames will purify him! *waves torches*

Personally, the Tomb Raider series.

Any MMORPG that I've played so far.

For me, pretty much any sports game. IT'S THE SAME GAME EVERY YEAR PEOPLE!!!!

but each year the teams "goodness" is different and there are dfferent players each year. but other then that. yes. they are.

:p Almost the same, but not quite. They are different enough to make money from idiots and sports fanatics.

Worst. Final Fantasy. Ever.
I have never actually played it, that is because I have only spent an hour and a half at a time trying. The game doesn't even fucking begin until over an hour of unskippable text and gibberish.

I vote Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced the most boring game ever made.

Agreed. Any sports game to date.

You obviously haven't played Final Fantasy XII.



You recommended that over FF6 :eek:

I do, actually. The characters are better, believe it or not (Balthier has to be one of the best characters ever). The music is also better, the battle system is literally unmatched as far as RPGs go, and the story (along with the writing and voice acting) are top-notch.

It manages to kick an amazing amount of ass.

I would have to say the Sims.Close runner ups include a number of deathmatches in splitscreen.
Hey look there you are!:mp5: Haha I shot you.*other person runs up behind player*:mp5: PWNED! WOOT Now I have the sniper rifle!:sniper: *player two gets sniped* BOOM HEADSHOT!
(Dies of boredom)

It's a typical Turn-based strategy/RPG game. I like FFTA because I like that genre. *goes off to play Fire Emblem*.

Also, Crystal Chronicles is worse than FFTA, but it's still not terrible. It just isn't fantastic.

Nobuo Uematsu is a much better music composer than Hitoshi Sakimoto. I prefer turn based FF battle systems.

The original Final Fantasy Tactics is much better because it doesn''t take over an hour to actually start fucking playing.

Got them beat: Journey to Alpha Centauri (In Real Time) (http://mirror.ifarchive.org/if-archive/games/zcode/Alpha.z5)*





* requires a Z-machine** on your computer.




** an interpreter which runs Infocom*** games.




*** a producer of text based adventures such as Zork****



**** fuck me, have you never heard of Google? Do I need to lift you and lay you? Use your initiative for the love of motherfisting Christ.

Oh no! An RPG with a plot :rolleyes:

Side Note: FFT is getting a refurbish and the translation it deserves. FFTA is getting a sequel.

Axis and Allies. For the love of God, don't try to conquer the world, you'll have to destroy about ten million pillboxes to do it.

Oh no, an elitist with no video game experience. You can have an RPG with a plot without having an hour lead in with no real gameplay.

Hopefully the sequel won't have a novella for an introduction.

That's like saying "I only watched Star Trek V: The Final Frontier and I liked that."

...

Okay, that's probably too harsh. FFTA has more good to it than ST5 had to it. Most Final Fantasy games are better, and have better plots, where as FFTA's plot was basically a fanfiction writer's dream comer true. "ZOMG I GO INTO WORLD OF MY FAVORITE VIDEO GAME!"

The Final Fantasies are classic examples of Eastern-style RPGs, and if they're not your style they can be pretty boring. I personally like them though. What I don't like is when people hold up a Final Fantasy game as a representative of all RPGs, which is simply not true. Western-style RPGs are completely different. They are also plot driven, but unlike Eastern RPGs, they are typically non linear, whereas Eastern are typically linear. Two completely different styles, though I happen to like both.

As for most boring game? Empire Earth. No question about it. I sat around for something like three hours just to go ahead by two ages in that game. Holy shit that was awful.

Hmm. Starcraft. I know I'll probably be raped for it, but it's true. The single player plot is fairly interesting but multiplayer with only three races is tediously repetitive.

ONLY three races. Feh when starcraft came out, three truly unique races was groundbreaking I tell ya!

Kids these days..

Bah! In MY day when we chose races, we only had the Allies or Soviets to choose between (or GDI and NOD for that matter) and we did fine..

Yes, I know, but it effectively meant that there were only three tactics available, and they were entirely dictated by your race.

one in the same.

Only three?
At the time having three ACTUAL separate races without identical cloned units was unheard of

Usually it was just a few different graphics packs and call them different ...

There are plenty more then that when you are just playing people or bots ... everyone I knew had a different style

yes and no. It's true each race lent itself to a particular strategy, being the zerg crackling horde, the terran turtle or the protos armor/stealth push, but frankly a good player could overcome those pretty easily.

Comparatively, Half-Life. FPS my ass.

Agreed ... it was LOONNNG

Counter Strike.

If you want to talk about boring FPS', let's talk about Doom 3. After the first few occasional shocks and scares, it's boring, and horribly cliche and ridiculous near the end. (Delta Labs Four walls covered nearly from floor to ceiling with blood, with words like suffer and die? Come on.)

Black & White.

Doom INVENTED those cliches.

Seconded!

I was being sarcastic :(

I find most RPGs very boring, but most boring of all was paper mario.

any sports game. Every year, the only changes are the player lists and the graphics, neithter of which actually affect the gameplay.

Sim Earth, gah what a stinker.

Nobuo Uematsu is a much better music composer than Hitoshi Sakimoto. I prefer turn based FF battle systems.

That's debatable, as Sakimoto's score fit FFXII perfectly. I rate it as highly as any of Uematsu's work.

The fact is, they have different styles. Uematsu is more melodic, whereas Sakimoto seems to be much more subtle.

Personally, I can't get into the whole Final Fantasy thing, and for the most part don't enjoy (insert anime turn-based RPG) very much at all. The closest I've probably gotten is Dungeon Siege, and that was a hoot because it was dirty and gritty hack-n-slash. Once I get a new hard drive I think I'll reinstall that.

You'd probably like FFXII, as it plays a lot like Dungeon Siege on the combat... Only it's a lot more involved (less sitting back and watching).

That's a good thing I suppose, but I don't think I have the right system for it. Also, I'm probably going to be playing Dawn of War for the next five months because of the Planetary Campaign format.

Chronicles of the Sword... Or World of Warcraft.

Ugh.

Wow! You know Chronicles of the Sword? Has anybody beaten that game, ever? And why did they?

Personally, I thought Dungeon Siege was just a slow paced Diablo 2.

Not nearly as click-heavy. Of course, Diablo II didn't hold a candle to Diablo in the clicking department. I nearly cheered when Diablo II allowed you to hold the mouse button down and attack continually.

Black & White.Seconded!

Thirded!

Im the opposite, I cant stand the hack and slash stuff.

FOr me the most boring game is Oblivion, without meaningful leveling up it just gets pointless.

And football manager. I love it so much though, but I have to play armadillo run or something during the actual matches.

hmmm lets see

capitalism the game
galatic civs 2 seems boring at the moment

I wish to object to the usage of the term videogame in this context. There's no video OR game.

Hmmm... I'd say Runescape. But actually, any MMORPG, JRPG or hack & slash will do. All disgraces to the genre of role-playing games.

What do you mean? Like.. you're not playing with the video context on? What kind of NationStates are you playing? Don't tell me that you're still playing that text-based old version of it!

:p

Generally, I try to respect people's opinions about games, but...

There is something fucking WRONG with you.

One could ask the same question about progressing past level 5 on WoW...

Airport Tycoon. Some of these other games can be boring, but no game can be more boring than Airport Tycoon.
