When Great games are No Fun

Well give it a shot. It might be up your alley. Keep in mind, though, that I'm saying its too complex... and I loved micromanagement games like Rome: Total War and the Civilization series (which is the most addictive game I've ever played)

Well, Civilization III is my favourite game ever (I used to stay up for countless hours at a time playing it when I was sick, but I never beat it before 2050

) And I love Rome: Total War to every minute detail.

So I shall try this out, given a chance.

To me a great game has to be fun.

I don't care if the graphics suck, if the story is non-existant, if there is terrible art. If the game plays well and is fun I will enjoy it.

On the other hand, if I find it to be a chore with all the good qualities, I won't really bother.

Such as the Movies, I really enjoy the game, but it becomes such a pain w/ all the micromanagement.

Another example of a great game that's no fun: Black & White.

I tried to play through it 3 times. Never did.
