Anthony Bate says: "I had to genuinely check I had the correct game. I do recall a game called Stronghold 3 being released on Steam recently but initial impressions made me double-check I had the same title. You see, I’m first bluntly alluding to the look of the game. The very first thing I do in any game is go to the graphical tab to set the resolution up from the feeble default. Oh, no 1920 x 1080? The first red flag. After opting for some strange resolution I jumped straight into the military campaign. After a quaint black and white comic-book story section I soon understood the lack of resolutions was not the only graphical shortcoming here. Despite some individual structures looking relatively attractive the low geographical detail and downright shoddy character models made me think I was back in 2006."
John of GAMElitist.com - "I’ve been burned a few times when buying games. It happened more often when I was a kid. There were times where I spent around $20 on a game and ended up playing a slideshow or a very underdeveloped game that only hooked me because of its fantastic box art."
Great article. The worst game purchase I ever made was that horrible Street Fighter: The Movie game when the PlayStation first launched. It was my first ever console - a leap forward in possibility - and I could have had WipEout, or Tekken. Nope. Shitty, awful Street Fighter: The Movie it was. Uggh.
