A master of orion like space-sim. Awesome.

Ascendancy had some serious issues that sucked the fun out of it. First off, the AI was really really bad so the game produced little challenge once you figured out how to play. Second, the races in the game were so horibly unbalanced it was crazy. The lizards that could finish any tec research once their ability cooldown was up were so broke it was insane. The gia chicks that made worlds into utopias and the lava eating rock guys that could build on gray squares were also rather busted. Lets also not forget the random ability boosts grated by finding super advanced technology just laying around on planets every once in a while. Get one of those way down the tree while you are playing the tec lizards and it's game over.

So while it was fun for a while, ascendancy lost it's charm once the game was figured out.

Sadly, those are true words. But the main reason I wrote that game into the thread was the fact that I often find myself playing it again and again after some years of laying dormant on my HD, not because it's so über awesome. Therefor I didn't write Baldur's Gate 2 even though I think it's the best game ever made.

*fanboy mode*

Hell no FF7 is clearly the best game ever made

*fanboy mode off*

Tbh I love both games that's the shame I could never decide which one was better, but then I also play MGS3 again and think thats the best game ever made, I really could go on.
