    Tony hawks games were ruined once they allowed you to get off the board and run around and climb, It felt incredibly janky.

    I felt it just about skated by to get a passing grade. THUG2 was a definite fail. I found the levels and gameplay and stuff in THUG1 pretty good compared to the more forgettable THPS4 (and 3 to an extent)

    Wait, wut? Future Perfect was the perfect sequel to 2 and 2 was the sequel that kicked the series into gear after a so-so 1

    No I just put it in, due to haze essentially killing off free radical.

    I knew about MOO2 from years ago but I never knew how bad MOO3 was until I played it on Steam. I'm not at all surprised it completely killed the series for over a decade, it was a classic example of dozens of great ideas that simply didn't gel when added together and you ended up with frustrating micro-micro-micro-management of every aspect of your empire. It runs fine on Steam now but the game was not a success when it launched because you were running all of that on 2003 hardware, the load time between turns eventually ran to hours at a time.

    I like the remake, although it does keep some of the irritating elements of MOO3 (such as star lanes - no traveling to any system you want) but sadly it gets a lot of hate and it appears that devs are done with it.
