    6 is closer to 3's gameplay rather than 5, but some of the worst bugs I have ever seen in any video game exists in 6 (terrible AI even on the hardest settings, bugged artifacts, vanishing gold/resources, vanishing saved games, friendly AI will often take full control of your hero and castle for the rest of the game).

    3 on the other hand is bug-free and very well made, which makes it the perfect choice for being trapped on an island ....as well as the Civilization series (4 and 5) ;)

    If I was stuck on an island I'd rather have a beautiful woman by my side than video game. Because once I finish a good video game I'd get bored to play it again. A woman will always keep me company and happy.

    But if it has to be a video game I'd say Crysis Warhead. - I conquered that game but I got stuck on the VTOL scene on Crysis 1.

    I'm living all alone now too and I would surely appreciate the company of a pretty woman or wife. But I'm underconfident in dating a woman because I've been unemployed 3.4 years now and I only get SSDI as income - I don't think that would attract a woman.

    So video gaming now keeps me a bit happy. But I need a big variety of video games. I'd get bored with just one video game. My current desktop gaming rig has 165 Steam games + maybe 30 non Steam games.

    Ha I hear you there. Been out of work (well full time) since November 2008. Single dad with two little kids to manage. Stealing from my retirement to make ends meet, but would rather do it now than be dead at 60 with a million in the bank! Not quite a way to attract a woman I suppose. lol. Having a wife/gf is over-rated, but it's hard to say that until you've been there. There's a reason for 50%+ divorce rate. But I digress.

    If I was on a deserted island, having a beautiful woman with me then she'd have no choice but to be with me and nice, right?

    Alright, on to my dose of Christmas spirits and off to bed. Santa just visited, so gotta be ready for the early AM rise with the kiddies.

    To be honest, I don't mind being alone. I've lived well enough while single for the majority of my life, and most of the relationships I've been in ended up being crap anyway.

    I hope you and your kids enjoy Christmas HT!

    I've been lucky enough to have been dating the same girl since 7th grade, without so much as a hiccup. Who knows, hopefully after college we can get married.

    Anyways, Merry Chrismas to all! I hope everyone has a blessed day with their families.

    Words of wisdom. My gf lived with me for 10 months then we broke up and I've been on my own for a few months now. I realize now how overrated living with a woman really was ;) but still I do like a little company now and then

    Silly thread. I would have used my time on the island to make it to a true tropical paradise where I was the king. Steady water supply, food, house, found a monkey to make my pet, found a good beach spot where I could chill, made a boat and abducted a exotic fine looking lady from some of the neighbour islands and brought her to my island where we would make love everyday and start our own familiy.

    Or made my best effort to escape this island if it were hostile enviroment.

    Yeah I know, crashing the party. Sorry about that :p
