I understand that Firaxis maybe didnt do a rigorous beta test but do these game mag/site reviewers actually play a complete game? More than one? They seem so worshipful and rarely seem to notice the bugs or balance issues. Feel like im reading movie reviews for Titanic.

Amusing to see all the pointless trolls...
Don't like the game? Great!
Make constructive criticism on the right channels, e-mail Firaxis your bugs and complaints.
Don't spam these boards, some of us are trying to use them for their original purpose.

Um, I like the game. Just pointing out that game magazine/reviewers dont seem to notice many/any gameplay problems.
If you are too sensitive to come to grips with posts you dont like or agree with maybe you shouldnt play on the internet. Either that or cut back on the coffee.Comment

He's talking about the official reviews, which have been useless as always.I've been on these boards for a long time and I still don't know what to think when it comes to you -- FrantzX, December 21, 2001

That's just one of the more useless phrases loosely thrown about when talking about Civ3.Civilization III is a monument to good, solid game design.I've been on these boards for a long time and I still don't know what to think when it comes to you -- FrantzX, December 21, 2001

In that regard I guess he is right, Game Reviews are like Movie Reviews, pointless.
But thats kind of a "duh"Comment

So whining that some game reviewers don't seem to notice any gameplay problems is indeed useful to the community and very interesting to read.

The guy has every right to post his observations, good or bad, about any aspect of Civ3, including the reviews.

Fanboy alert, fanboy alert... hard to port.
um, what part of "offical gamemag reviews" do you not understand? Does your dislexia interpret this as "forum reviews by joe shmoe"...? Thats a serious reading disability.
Probaby too late to avoid upsetting the natives but.. My only point is to show that the many more-or-less official net reviews seem to be rather fawning and dont make mention of even the easily discovered gameplay/bug problems. This is a comment on their skills as reviewers, not on the game itself.Comment

There's an entire thread in the OT dedicated to people waiting to re-enter the Civ3 general forum once all of the whiners leave. Then we can actually use it without wading through wads of spam.
Erm, yeah, I'm the biggest Firaxis fanboy around.Fanboy alert, fanboy alert... hard to port.
If you must know, I only own two Firaxis games: SMAC and Civ3. SMAC wasn't fun at all for me, I didn't agree with the reviews for it, but you didn't see me going to SMAC-General and making trolls like this.
I don't think Civ3 is really an "excellent" game, but it's a good game. I enjoy playing it, and I want to use the forums to talk about it.
I don't want to see threads by "Captain Obvious" pointing out stupid things that really doesn't matter to anyone.

Asher: Stay in OT, please. Things were fine in this thread until you brought your garbage in here. And criticism of the game or pointing out the uselessness of many of the reviews is not spam.

Ah, yin, your post would be valid if he criticized the game.
What did he criticize in the game?
Nothing.
He's criticizing magazine reviewers, which is not Civ3, which means it's spam."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

And what exactly is up for discussion in this thread?
NOTHING.
It, like most other threads in this forum, are a bunch of newbie whiners finding something to troll about."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
