Bust Buy no longer carries Civ3 - Gold; Is Civ3 - Complete coming soon?

[Daddy-O]

I have been playing Civ2 for ages and waiting for years to buy Civ3 when the price drops. Now I see rumors of Civ3 - Complete coming in September. So I'll wait a little longer, but I can't find much proof that the new version is coming. Until I went to Best Buy this week.

The current Civ3 line has been discontinued from Best Buy's inventory. Civ3 is off the shelves. Something must be coming to replace it.

I can't wait. I'll get Civ3 just as 4 is getting to come out.

Perhaps you were looking in the wrong store.

skrobism, I think you need turn your 'crystal ball' back around from upside down.

Just kidding of course! However, any method can claim accurancy these days!

Conquests and CIV 4 will be most likely (my speculation) different games, so buy away if you can find it.

I doubt we'll be seeing Civ4 till at least another year from now.

As for getting Civ3 - either buy Civ3 Vanilla and Conquests on-line, or wait for Civ3 Complete.

re: wrong store
No. Several Best Buys all reported the same thing. You can still buy on-line. Walmart and Target still carry Civ3.

re: Civ 4
You are probably right.

re: Buy vanilla or wait for Complete.
I have read here at Apolyton that Complete is coming soon. Sept 15? I've waited this long - I'll wait 'til Oct 1 for Complete.

re: my crystal ball
Oh! That's better. Thanks.

Yo, Civ 3 - Complete??????????? I've been away from the site for a while and need to know what this is. Help.

[Kloreep]

Civ3 Complete = Civ3 and Conquests.

If you already have Conquests, you don't need Civ3 Complete. It's just a new package so people who are new to Civ3 can buy both Vanilla and Conquests at once.

Will Civ3 Complete run on the Mac???

[Kuciwalker]

I doubt it.

[Flip McWho]

Ahhhhh thanks Kloreep

It's here It's here!

The Civ3 Site has finally updated and announced Civ3Complete.

BestBuy.com is taking pre-orders with an ETA of 10/5 - 10/12.

Well, they went ahead and did the 'unthinkable' here now one year later... and another year to go............. going.................. gone.............................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ...................................... gee or is that 'gong'

[Daddy-O]

I'm not sure I get your point. Are you saying Civ 3 is c rap and i should not buy after waiting years for the price to fall? Are you saying this because you don't like CivC? Is this about the lack of a patch for CivC?

What's the deal? What so 'unthinkable'?

Go get it, it's a good game, not brilliant but good enough to play around with for several weeks.
Can't really ask more of a game, can you.
