Just BTW... this is nothing that would be happening in the gaming industry only (and let's face the facts: most games are released with various bugs and problems later fixed by downloadable patches; Civ3 was not an exception in this aspect).

If you buy a whole new model of a car, you are likely to be a beta-tester, too, as only real people using it every day discover various hidden problems not found during the factory tests. The models being in production for two or three years are usually the best ones, as they have their "childborn" problems already solved.

You pay 50 bucks for being able to play a game from the very beginning (and in this very case, take part in the great evolution and improvement of Civ3 that the consequent patches have been - once again, hats off to Firaxis for their outstanding support. They listen to us, they really do...).

If even Coracle considers Civ3 "viable" (at $34.95, that is), then you must understand that it is one hell of a game!

Er, guys?

Pat'o hasn't posted back, I think you convinced him. He's probably running to store already

If he was he was wise indeed.

The computer gaming "reviews" have been revealed to be a farce. Back in December before even the first patch they gave a messy beta game glowing reviews. So I'd never waste my time with reviews again as they are written by Industry shills.

As for this game, after 1.29 it is now, eight months after initial release, a viable product. We the consumers performed the roles of beta testers for Firaxis at $50 a pop. But, again, now the game is finally viable.

That doesn't mean you'll like it. There are still many aspects that are annoying, stupid, and non-historical. The worst being Culture Flipping. Naval warfare is another joke.

So whether you'll like it or not I can't say; that is subjective on your part. But at least now if you get it for $34.95 you won't be ripped off, as we were last December at $50 a shot.

This should be a news item!! MARC!!!

and a great compliment to firaxis IMO

Hey, Coracle, it seems that pat was not so wise...

Keep civin'...

I'go and buy the game asap. I rushed out and bought the game on the first day that it was out here in Germany. I never felt that I was ripped of and the patches that game after the game was releasd only show how much Firaxis listen to constructive criticism here and at Civ Fanatics.

Although I must admit that I do not play the game very often, I tend to stay away because once I start I do forget my wife, work and sports .

I played Civ 2 for about 5 years and I am planning to play Civ 3 for a long time.


Enjoy
