My whole intent on this thread is to not bash Civ3, for I feel Civ3 will be a fantastic game for myself at least, yet to show the dangers Civ3 may cause.
I am one who is fairly new (about a year in the making) to the Civ series, which in turn should mean that the game shall still be innovative and exciting to me. How much that excitement tears at my life is still unforseen but my I thought is that it will again be of great extent.
$10 of mine has already been invested into Civ3 with my purchase of the Civ3 Pre-Order. Although, the other $40 I will need to dish out (which is fair) to buy the game may not occur. The reasoning for me being unsure on buying Civ3 or not, is for my fear of what will happen to my life. Here's a quote from the "Making of the Civ3 Video" quote on quote "We've ruined your life again" quote unquote. Now do I, you, or anybody else what that to happen? Now one might think I'm joking or being sarcastic but this is a legible concern I have. Some around raise concerns around here of "what will I do to keep my girlfriend/wife happy, while I'm playing Civ3". If that is a concern I had I would not buy the game. For that is a concern I might have in the coming days. Even if some of you have raised those concerns in a jokingly matter you should still think twice about buying the game. You know Civ3 is going to fully occupy your life as soon as you buy and you won't be able to do anything about it. Myself I don't want to lose what appears to be the girl of my dreams (being completely honest about the girl being completely amazing) for some game. Ok, so maybe only the relationship will be damaged for some time being but for others you could lose somebody special. I'm being serious, this is a likely situation. Hypothetically you are supposed to call your gf at 8pm to talk to her but instead you are way too focused on defeating the Russians or your gf calls you at 8pm but you couldn't hear the phone because again you were way too focused on defeating the Russians. Now this may be no big deal most of the time but if it was important at the time or becomes a continuing situation. Basically my point is that everybody needs to think twice before buying Civ3!
My example of a gf/wife is only the tip of the iceberg in the part of your life that could be ruined or damaged. I may just be playing too much into this but it still seems some what probable. Maybe all the anticipation of playing Civ3 is gettnig to my head, I don't know. Either way everybody should think twice before buying Civ3; I will be taking into strong considerations the consequences of buying Civ3.
