Civ3 is the best game I have ever owned!

[Mizaq]

i liked alpha centauri a LOT more than i like civ3. in fact i would be trying out that ds9 mod for smac if i hadn't left my game disks in storage when i moved to teh university across the state. did you guys know that you can't buy alien crossfire any more? bleh, just the freakin mac version. you can buy alpha centauri though. i think ill go home for spring break and come back with my disks, i miss that game.

That is an unfair statement. I am no newbie by any stretch of the imagination, and I enjoy the game.
I am sure there are lots of people who are not newbies that enjoy it.
Fact it, you like it or you do not. It has nothing to do with anything else.
Liking or disliking any game is just a matter of personal prefrences.

I'm sure you can see the need for it, eh Yin?

Sure, but it's hurting my chances of Total World Domination!

I thought the same thing for about 3 weeks.

[Dis]

pong?

hmmm, yeah I guess so. Back in those days a game like that kept me going for weeks. Longer than civ3

What? You never played "Spaceward Ho!" ?

Simply amazing, Lib.

Ever considered being a cancer researcher or a negotiator in the Middle East? With the effort you put into things, we'd all be living to 100 and having boring peaceful holidays on the Gaza Strip in no time.

Re: Civ3 is the best game I have ever owned!

.

I know I forgot a lot of the positive sides of the game so please post and list what you LIKE about the game.

I've been playing strategy games since I was 10 (I am 30) , board games (Avalon Hill and the like), titles like World in Flames, Clash of Steel, Fall and rise of the Third Reich, Empires in Arms, Europa Universalis I & II, Colonization, CIV I, CIV II, etc. And many other games in all formats, board, rol, mail, PC, etc, and I do not find any reason for the bad and terrible opinions about the CIV III I have seen. I think the game is good, it could be vastly improved, I enjoy it a lot, and still after having read most of the complains, I do not see the reason for the hate that some people seem to have for this game.

About the quote, it was just to remark that this guy asked people who like the game to post positive remarks. I am sure that some people will say they are free to say what they want wherever they want, OK but then I do not know what the titles of the threads are for. I will not go to complain to a thread named "ideas for CIV IV", I will go there to give ideas, and if I want to complain, I will create my own thread or look for complainers threads (and there are a lot).

I like Civ3.

[runs away completely embarassed...]

[Spec]

I like civ3!!! It has flaws but PLEASE what game doesn't!? Of course I didn't spend the last years shacking in my closet waiting for this game, like some ppl here but, I'm glad I bought it. No game is the same, and the editor let's you change almost anything!!!! I noticed that a lot of peps who complain about the game here could change what they dislike in the editor, but you know, it's a lot easier to b1tch about than to fix it.......

Get real. Why are people impressed with excessive verbiage?

Anyway, tip of the hat to those who like the game.

[Zealot]

Hey Libertarian, Leisure Suit Larry 4 was never released! They lost the original floppy disks.
But there are version 6 and 7!

And you never played SQ 5?!? It's the funniest game I've ever played!
But I think the main flaw in your collection is not having the Master of Orion series. They rock.

[Ironikinit]

I like how normal people with lives and a sense of proportion tend to be the ones who like Civ 3.

Not to rip on people with morbid pointless obsessions and a complete lack of manners or anything. Somebody to shoot their coworkers (I mean, if they actually had jobs) because they were so terribly disappointed by a game or the nightly news could lose ratings.
