How many Worms games are out there. They should take a long break.

For those complaining about FPS remakes of your old favorites...this is the other end of the spectrum. They've been making the same fucking game since the first one.

I like how most of the worms have feminine names. I've heard of a few guys with the name Carol .. but they lost me at Gail. Yes, this is coming from a guy named Donna Gust.

These later games are so painful to watch. On behalf of my country I hope Team17 are remembered fondly for their past work but that they swiftly forget their now extremely exhausted franchises and put them to bed [out to die]. Come on guys, you're embarrassing yourselves, drop the bad habits at last and do something new.

As for the voices, totally agree. I know they're small creatures but why the same badly made feminine accents for each worm for every game?! The only exception is the first ever game when the voices were classic and the music was also excellent. Bring them back as DLC or something because the new ones do my head in too. Note that the default voices are the squeaky ones (slightly better than these actually) but that there were other much better custom ones in there too.

There's so many weird, dumb design decisions in Worms that should have been changed years ago. But they just stick to it. Worms, you guys!

I've played one of the 3D worms, it wasn't very fun.

Now I only ever played the demo (I did play it a lot though), but Hogs of War seemed like a much better 3D worms game than 3D worms ended up being.

The pace of the 3D worms games is so painfully slow. The 2D games would work great as iOS games, I'm sure there are some, but I won't be arsed to check.

I enjoy turn-based combat games but have never been interested in the Worms games. They just seem so pedestrian and boring. I was curious to see if they were at least trying something new with this one but it doesn't seem that way. I'm amazed that Team 17 are somehow still going after all these years.

Yep, looks like it plays just as bad as I remember it from Worms 3D. Worms and 3D is just a terrible combination.

Team17 dropped the ball with Worms: Reloaded, previous 3D games might not have been stellar but it had so many issues and dumb design choices they never looked back at again. I used to love me some Worms but eh.

The physics was always a little crap on the 3D Worms games. Same here, it seems, the dynamite or baseball bat just knock a worm a few feet.

I honestly think a good 3D Worms game is possible, but this isn't that game. It wasn't when it first came out, and a new coat of paint isn't going to change that.

That was certainly the direction Worms should have taken. Make it faster, snazzier graphics and a little more complex!

Played the demo seems fun. Had some great times with worms games. The min-map seems useful. Glad they figured out the aim thing. There is also a top down view.

EDIT: Did that guy in the diner sound like a high-pitched Jason Statham to anyone else?

I might just go back and fight my old copy of Worms now. Man, that was a great game.

Whatever this is... not so much.
