Have you gotten your money's worth?

Just checking, because there's a bunch of negativity floating around here.

where's the not yet option?

Every morning I wake up and say to myself: "I won't answer any polls at Apolyton today".

But when I come here... and see all these weird polls... I can't help it...

Though I always miss the "Banana" option.

One vote for "not yet". Does that mean you haven't bought it yet, paid for it yet, or you're waiting for improvement? Keep in mind that the improvements could cost extra.

i've not yet gotten my money's worth. the stipulation is based on my assumption of certain additions, like a scenario editor and MP (which IMHO are likely to cost more). civ2 MGE had (has) immense replay value for me, i even played a game last week. assuming that civ3 gets MP and it's actually good, then i will have gotten my money's worth.

put another vote for "not yet."
I was disappointed with it, but it still has potential. If firaxis gets a decent editor out there, I think we'll see the mod community do some really amazing things.
when that happens, I'll change my vote to "yes, and then some".

[Boracks]

Another 'not yet' vote. Eventually, it may be worth it.

$50 is 5 movies for me & the wife (w/o popcorn). Since most movies are stupid I prefer to play Civ. We have even played our own version of a hotseat game. (Don't think dirty!) Try it two chairs 1 computer, 2 minds controlling 1 civ. Definately worth the money.

Really? I never noticed.

Considering that I got it as a Christmas present, and am still waiting for a patch (or something) to fix the many problems that have been reported here before playing - I guess you could say that I got my money's worth!

Meantime, EU2 is a lot of fun.

Oh, and the CTP2 Creation Forum has been a lot busier. Just some disgruntled fans from civ3...

In what universe? There are around 9 acitve threads in the Civ3 creation forum and 4 in CTP2 creation! What is that a 100% increase from 2?

I got my money's worth. I played the game pretty much exclusively for about two months and never had any issue that stopped it from being fun for those two months.

I can't think of much else that I could buy for $35 that would keep my spare time filled from the beginning of November to the middle of January.

I've since started playing other games instead Civ3 and that's due to three factors not necessarily the game's fault:

1) burnout
2) I got my 1GHz computer working again which freed me to play something else (Max Payne, SoF, Shogun, etc.)
3) due to 1 and 2, I'm waiting for the next patch to see if it's going to be worth coming back to over other games. As it stands now, the game is close to SMAC territory for me - full of cool ideas but also full of too many limiting factors to make it worth playing.

Wheres the "Just barely, but no flaws" option? And the "Banana" option?
The poll is flawed
