I fail to understand how the views of a very vocal minority are continuously propped up as truth.

If you fall back to "whether someone likes it or not", then you have to take the position that all games are equally good. That is not logical.

if all games are liked an equal amount then they could be considered equally good. they are not, however.

'the sims' is an inordinately popular game - it is practically a license for maxis to print money. it is more popular than civ3 (hell, it's more popular than christmas!) but is it really a better game than civ3? i would say no, but there are many who would disagree.

do i have a point?

i thought i did ... oh yeah! ... if you like a game then, to you, it is a good game, but if a billion people like it, it probably sucks.

Yeah... inferior in some ways, but better in others.
Overall, I would have to agree with you that the game is inferior to Civ II, in my opinion. But that doesn't mean that I can't like it.
I do enjoy it. And even though I'm probably playing more Civ II MP than I am Civ III, it is only because Civ III MP isn't available yet.

It's all a matter of opinion

Looks like this thread is still alive and kicking.

I like the game too. It passes the time when I'm doing my homework.

A preventive Ming intervention, huh?

Well, I was a bit tired of the game after playing 3 months continuously, and had a few weeks break, but I'm back to business now . Yes, the game has flaws, but I like it.

Since the 1.17 this game really gives me the "Awwww just on more turn" feeling.

What I don't get is if people don't like the game, why are they in this forum?

I did like the game, but have not played it in a month. I'm sure that I will go back and play it, but it has lost that new car smell for me. I'm waiting on MOO3, and probably work and RPG into the mix until then. I'm actually back on XCom UFO defense right now until I finish the game I'm on.

However, Civ3 does have some problems. Corruption is my biggest complain, and since pop-whipping in the finge cities was the solution, I'm back to hating it.

"This game rocks"

As any of the Friends charachters would say in their annoying, squeaky, high pitched voices... "yah it does".

[Dis]

people who like the game aren't allowed in civ3-general. please post your comments in civ3-strategy.
