Silence breeds pessimism (subtle message for Firaxis)

[One More Turn!]

Have been noticing as I cruise the forums over the last few weeks, that the longer we go without hearing some new information about Civ 3, the more pessimistic the posts get. You would think that Firaxis would keep feeding us crumbs to keep us salivating like Pavlov's dog over the game. Instead I think people are just getting discourage and tired of speculating about this feature or that. I know I am.

Anyone else feeling this way?

Come on Firaxis, throw us a bone - Finalize something!
pretty please?

i have given up all hope in firaxis as far as news-web updates.

but im still hoping for a good game.

maybe they are gagged.

Well, they apparently have the time to organise a show-and-tell for Sidgolf, but nothing for Civ3. The last time I checked, Civ3 was going to make a lot more money for them than a golf sim.

maybe since they just did a sim golf preview, they'll do a Civ3 update soon! oh wait this is firaxis, the company that hates its customers

You're a bad man, and I don't believe you. Civ3's coming out on October 17 like it was promised, the mountains will be fixed, the AI's going to crush me consistently and there's going to be 16 playable civs at a time.

As long as civ III is out by feb 2002, I will be happy
As long as it is out by dec 2002 Firaxis will be happy

As long as Firaxis can polish the game... just let them work instead of releasing details
Hopefully due to extra weeks of polishing and no PR, they can make civ better than ever!

[Kassiopeia]

i agree with DarkCloud. I don't even tend much to the Civ3 site until i have a copy on it in my hands.
I like to think that maybe today they just fixed that awful bug that would crash the game if condition xxx happened... Like the old Finnish saying goes, "Hiljaa hyvä tulee", which means that the more time is spent the better the result is.*

There is no way I'm joining Yin's club.

The less new info we get from Firaxis makes more and more people, as UberKruX want to join OfAPeCiClu.
I however will not join that club, not unless Civ 3 is canceled at least .

How long do you think Sid and Will has been working at Sid's Golf?
As it is a game that none expected they didn't need to announce it until they were in the end of the game making. Civ 3 however was a game expected and wanted by a lot of people, and to avid the repitation of the Civ series to drop Sid had to announce the game when it still just was "some notes in his notebook". After a long time of developing they are at a stage of the game that they are willing to show us, but it doesn't mean they are ready yet. They still have to finish the game, and the more time they get the better the game will be (I hope). Be patient everyone Civ 3 will come, and it will be good.

Anithing in the last line might change without warning (I don’t want to be stoned for promising to mush)

I'll get lynched for this, put I just had a premonition that Civ3's gonna be the biggest flop of computer games in the 21st century.

i wanna join yin's club

[yin26]

H Tower: Welcome to the club! If we get enough members, we'll start holding our OWN press releases. I think lots of people are members in spirit, but hopefully you have just inspired them to step up and join!

Well, they apparently have the time to organise a show-and-tell for Sidgolf, but nothing for Civ3. The last time I checked, Civ3 was going to make a lot more money for them than a golf sim.

So, does that mean you'd like to join, too?

sigh


damn firaxis

[Rommel393]

I can guartantee you that civ3 will definitely not flop for sure. The fact is they have so many lovers of civ2 that many are going to buy civ3 right away. I'll probly preorder it. And I'm sure many others . Even the person who said itll flop (to lazy to look for name) will probly buy it. What does that show?

[tniem]

yin, I want in.
