WELL THAT JUST HAPPENED!

I tried playing this game yesterday. I only played for maybe twenty minutes but I never felt I was in control of what was going on. Every time I tried to do something the game told me that I would turn off the automated controls. And because I only knew 'jack' and 'poo poo' I'd leave the controls on. I wish the game would allow you to make an exception to automated controls and then go back to doing what it normally does. On the whole, I was starting to get PTSD flashbacks of Master of Orion 3, which is certainly unfair to Distant Worlds. It has a hell of a lot more polish and looks like it'd actually be fun for the right person.

Perhaps this is just a sign that my tastes in games has changed as I've aged and spending long hours managing a massive empire isn't as fun as I remember it to be. :sigh:
