Master of Orion 3 was buggy and broken. I conquered 286 out of 287 planets in the galaxy (I know, because I #'d them all in binary, UBERCOOL) and went to conquer the Antarean main world, and...
krap
my tech tree froze
286 worlds each made 20 worthless ships a turn and I could NOT scroll down beyond the first 100, I had to scrap 5612 ships every turn, they would NOT make more than 3 troop transports a turn. My whole fricking galaxy had less troopship capability than the ANZAC at Gallipoli
and my infantry died in combat like ants storming a furnace
I played for 400 turns beyond my galactic conquest, I could Not Win.
then they modded it into suckiness with 500 different online "patches", "fixes" and "mods" so you could NOT find an online game for more than a week before people quit to try the "better" version
and multiplayer combat ALWAYS bugged out, it didn't quit to black screen, your ships formed a circle and danced for you....
but still
top honors must go to Force Unleashed
I have never actually played Force Unleashed
I have watched a friend try to play it 3 times
It has crashed each of those 3 times
and he says he has tried it dozens of more times and it crashes sooner or later
it is the most damn annoying thing to watch ever
right now he is at a level where you get strafed by TIE fighterson a bridge while you use the Force to draw down a star destroyer to crashland, with about as much effect as if you tried to levitate a 747 irl
because it bombs. he looked online and yep it tends to bomb there
Most. Annoying. Ever. And I owned and played that legendary ET game in my day
Force Unleashed is fun to mock though
Me: Why is that planet full of junk?
Pal: It's the junk planet made of junk. When the Empire has scrap metal they take it there and dump it.
Me: But...Imperial ships always drop their garbage BEFORE a jump
Pal: STFU
The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.
