I know 1 awful game I love is Dead State. Love the game. But it is so bad. So many bugs, glitches, weird engine problems etc.
But I just think since the majority of ootpb players aren't your "gamer" crowd that the game gets a lot of free passes. Especially forum people. Everyone is like I love ootpb I play out every game. But never criticize it.
However I will say this is the 1st year that I've seen some major criticism on the board.
I guess I've gotten to the point where the bad in ootpb out weighs the good for me. Which sucks. But I have no faith in the game making huge steps in the future.
I'm still getting a handful of hours a week in my universe. I'm talking 4 to 6 hours just as a palette cleanser. So I still pop onto the forum to help out newbies and everything.
I guess since I did fall in love with ootp I can't help but criticize it.

Just my opinion from over the years:
I think many of the gamers who love OOTP dearly are among its biggest critics... I'm sure Markus got sick and tired of me and others trying to get him to take care of game issues that were our pet peeves (mine was PBP, News Stories and the Hard Code... Markus would never let the Beta Team have access to the Hard Code, where only he could correct the errors... we could point them out, but it was really hard to get him to fix it)... on the Beta Team we knew Markus couldn't take care of all the issues because of a lack of help and resources and had to concentrate on the issues that would make the game more secure financially... but we still tried relentlessly to get him to fix our pet areas for us.
I'm sure it is still the same way today both on the Forums and on the Beta Team.
