I must admit I am really tired of the neverending disputes over the quality of Civ3. I believe they have been pretty much dull all the time... repeating same or similar arguments over and over. A waste of time for those who already own the game, tiresome/confusing for those that consider buying it. What about making a general satisfaction poll, free of any discussions/arguments?
Let everybody expresses his/her (dis)satisfaction with the game. Let everybody briefly rates various concepts/features as great, OK, or bad. Such a poll/thread might be a real bless for those that consider buying the game. And the rest of us might finally learn what we belong to: the majority or the minority...
For those of you willing to spend a couple of minutes, here is the guide to this poll:
Ultimately satisfied – "I just love Civ3, it is the best game I have ever played!"
Satisfied, enjoying it – "For me, it is a great game, even if not perfect."
Somewhat satisfied – "A good game, although it lacks a lot to be great."
No distinct feeling – "Nothing special of a game, just a mediocre product."
Dissatisfied – "I do not like Civ3 very much, though it has some bright moments."
Disgusted - "A total crap and waste of my money."
Consider the current version of the game (1.21f), please, and try looking at the game as something it is, rather than something it was in your dreams and it is now not
.
I believe it would also be interesting to see if there is any relation between one's Civ3 satisfaction and whether and how much one played/liked (plays/likes) Civ1, Civ2, CtP, CtP2, SMAC, EU, EU2 and Civ3. Therefore I (and perhaps others, too) would appreciate a lot, if people voting in the poll add short posts including some background info and what they (dis)like about the game. Ladies and gentlemen, do your best to be brief and do not respond to others' posts here, please – the last thing I would like to start is yet another endless dispute... If you change your mind, wish to clarify or append something, edit your initial post instead of adding another one. I guess it would be best to have just a single post per voter only.
