Have you the patience to wait for the LE-version?

[Ralf]

I found the following info at http://civ.strategy-gaming.com/civ3infocenter.shtml: "European release of Standard Civ III is in Mid November. Collectors Edition is due early next year in Europe."

"Early next year" could mean february/mars. Now, for those who are reasonably well off and/or isnt exactly a skinflint when it comes to money. How many have the patience to wait for the LE-version?

[BeBMan]

I´ve not enough patience, whatever version is out first, I´ll buy it!

I also voted "both". Reassuring to see that Im not the only hopeless nut-case around here.

No I don't. I'm buying whatever comes out first. Demo, alpha, beta, gamma, delta, SP, MP, LE,... whatever! I just can't believe I can't buy it right now.

You forgot 3 other poll options

*dont buy the game at all just download it(or copy it from some friend) from some warez site

*wait for feedback and rewiews and then perhaps buy the game

*other

Ill probably wait until people starts to tell if its good or not.
The collectors box would be cool though if its a good game, im not buying anything just because the 2 older civ games changed my life.

Downloading games from warez-sites is a complete nighmare. I have tried 2-3 times just of curiosity, but I always give up early on. Those sites are clogged with ads & repetitive polls, and the servers seems constantly overloaded. I have heard of gamers more patient then I am, that after downloading 20+ zipped parts of the game - that sometimes it wont work anyway, because some 2-3 missing files. Also you dont know what kind of invisible added **** you are downloading in the process (viruses, spyware and whatnot). Just buying the damn game in a store almost seems like a welcomed relief, by comparison.

I assume that most Apolyton Civ-veterans are hardcore fans, that want to economically support the idea of future expansion-packages (and hell, even Civ-4) by getting their hands on legaly bought copies.

*wait for feedback and rewiews and then perhaps buy the game

This is understated in the fourth alternative: "I think I wait a couple of weeks/months first, regardless".

*other

Now, what could that be?

You not buying anything, but you will play the game, right?

[DonJoel]

Actually Ralf if you know were to look downloading warez aint that difficult.
Of course i will buy the game if i like it, I want to give firaxis my support but i want to play it at a friend first.

Ps. The ability to vote other should always be in a poll, its a basic rule...

OK, I guess I misunderstood your intentions. Sorry.

[DonJoel]

No offence

[Earthling7]

I want the LE and I will buy the LE. If they can't be arsed to publish it until xmas 2145, then I'll either buy it online or copy/download it until it's available. But I will buy the LE.

[isaac brock]

Hey, I don't have to wait, so I'm buying limited edition. And I hereby shun all those who might buy both versions. You are a blight that should best be cleansed from apolyton.

[Buck Birdseed]

I'm not sure if this is completely legal, but:

I'm considering copying off a friend initially and then buying the LE when that comes out to get my own CD. Or I might buy both- I know my Civ2 CD is scratched beyond any hope of restitution...

[mactbone]

*tsk* *tsk* *tsk* Snapcase, you don't have your copy hermetically sealed? You don't actually need the Civ2 CD to play the game, you just need the CD if you want to see the advisors and Wonders. (j/k)

[jdd2007]

I buy the standard version only, as soon as available
I JUST WANT THE GAME

[Skanky Burns]

Ive pre-ordered the LE, so im hoping that by the time it reaches here, the standard game will be just released here, or is released later, just so im not tempted to move myself into the "Buy both' category...
