Don't Buy Civ3!!!

[Zylka]

No, he's right. This is the equivalent of call to power 3, I am sorely dissapointed. This game was quite possibly made over lunch breaks, it is one of the saddest things I have seen in a long time.

Don't buy it? ok. fine.

can i still download the hack?

har har har har

Why don't you tell us why you think the game sucks.......

[Capt Dizle]

I agree, the game sucks. I am however smarter than those of you that bought it. I haven't.

I won't be suckered into buying this piece of ****! I know it won't run on my system because Firaxis sucks and Sid sucks.

If it did run on my system it would be choppy because Firaxis was too lazy to code it to work with my crappy monitor and lousy video card. The bums!

And the sound would stutter or lock my system up because Firaxis hires lousy sucky programmers who know nothing about my dime store sound card.

And the AI sucks too, I know it.

So there, the hell with all of you lousy bums.

I feel for you man, frustrating as hell isn't it. Diablo 2 still doesn't work on my comp. After 3 polite and 2 unpolite e-mails to Blizzard tech support they finally told me that others had had the problem and they don't know how to fix it. Just that it was something with Athlon proessors. I was livid and wrote them 1 more impolite e-mail.

Maybe your bug will get fixed in an upcoming patch. At least know I feel for ya man.

[DarkCloud]

Just reeport the specific bugs to korn's list, and return the game, or wait until the patches

I understand your anger, however.

[Sarxis]

Well, I haven't had any serious problems yet; at least not anything that stops gameplay (just a couple of quirky things).

[Imran Siddiqui]

Now I have no sympathy for you Tech. I hope that you never get it to run .

I've been playing this game without even a bathroom break for 12 hours.

It installs in less than 5 minutes and is totally stable as far as I can tell.

I don't see how a gaming company could put out a piece of trash like Civ3 for sell. Whatever you do don't buy Civ3, at least not for a while (until patch comes out)!!!

***** now that i have finished readin the thread all i can say is **** you and go get a real pc before u start to ***** about ur probs *****

[Fintilgin]

Actually, I've encountered a nasty save-game corruption bug, that I've posted about in the help forum.

Other then that though, the game is great. Leaps and bounds above CivII and SMAC.

Jon Miller,

LOL! Service Pack 2 for Windows 2000 doesn't suck. Hopefully you don't work in tech support...

[Dylan Baker]

No problems here, whatsoever.

The game does have a little AOE feel to it, but this may just be beacause Ive been staring at the static Civ II screen for the past 4 years.

i tried to read this whole post - but got tried of your ***** 'in -- what are your problems -- you need to be a little more definitve. in addition, many times it may seem like a vid problem when its a sound problem -- my sound blaster card is always causing problems -- some games I have to bypass it some I don't
