I just want to know that Firaxis won't abandon Civ3 the way Activision abandoned CTP2 if the game doesn't sell well.

Perhaps I should re-phrase my comment. I believe there will be bugs but I just don't think there will be as many as everyone thinks.Originally posted by tniem
Haven't been playing computer games that long have you? Or have you just never been apart of a major release? Every game has tons of bugs that cannot be found without tons of players trying things that designers never thought of. Just wait, it will happen if you play long enough. So keeping the game probably would not have done any good.
I trust the game will be quite polished.

Hats off to the optimists and well-wishers. It's just too early to make any pronouncements. We basically have just the developers' subjective view about their product. Wait till you get your hands on the game before you congratulate the crew.
Just getting to Gold on a Project of this size is a feat worthy of praise - not only have they delivered it but they have delivered it when they said they would!
tis better to be thought stupid, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Yes, the game seems to be on a smooth schedule right now. I am starting to think that maybe Firaxis has time to spare as far as what they wanted to get done by the Oct 30th release date (which, btw, was a pushback from a mid-October release).Originally posted by Th0mas

As far as bugs and Firaxis' games are concerened- from what I have heard, CivII had a bit of bugginess, and I know from first-hand experience that Alpha Centauri had, and still has, serious bug problems.
I sure hope Firaxis isn't thinking of letting bugs slide like they did with AC[x].

SMAC had a few bugs but none of them I found were threatening or problematic to gameplay, not like some of the ones in the earlier civ games (anyone remember infinite terraforming in civ1, or airbases on mines in civ2?), so I have confidence that this game will be reasonably bug free. As long as it is continued to be supported for a good while, I don't mind. The other thing is compatibility with all systems. When I downloaded the SMAC demo it just refused to run on my system, and so I sent all the details of my system to Firaxis, and when the game was available, it ran fine on my computer. My current computers configuration should be a bit easier going however...Speaking of Erith:

It already sold well, They (supposedly) are almost out of LE and the game isn't even out yet.Originally posted by Zanzin
