XP? Will you buy it?

[Cookie Monster]

Here's my new philosophy regarding purchasing computer games.

I won't buy any until I'm absolutely sure that it's worth it. I won't get burned again, no no, not like I did when I rushed out like a trained dog and bought Civ3 LE the very day it hit the stores.

[Inverse Icarus]

i'll get it a day in advance, curse out the boards, and get banned for 6 months. then show up again ranting about how much it sucks.

worked last time.

XP's already out. I believe Microsoft debutted it on Oct 25th or something. Windows forever!

I am a 'Single Player' kind of guy. Scenarios are fine for a couple of plays, but I have never found a scenario game for Civ2 that wasn't way unbalanced. To me the great draw of CIV is the mystery of how the world is shaped. Every game is different, a unique RPG-type* situation. The random map is KING (well, actually Diety, uh, God)!

So, I don't think so, but maybe time will change my mind

*No, I am not referring to 'rocket propelled grenades.'

Eroberer (referring to "XP"),
You should know that Microsoft is a great COPIER of concepts. The Windows metaphor was developed by APPLE!

Actually, the Windows XP system works rather well on the Windoze system I purchased to play Civ3 on; but that is ALL I do on it.

[Eroberer]

I'm not saying XP is bad by any means. Just that the upcoming expansion pack for Civ3 is not "XP."

[ColdWizard]

i definitely won't buy it at release, and may not get it at all, though that depends on the opinions of some MPers i know

if(X == 'ex' && P == 'pansion')
{
XP = expansion;
}

else if(X == 'expansion' && P == 'pack')
{
XP = expansion pack;
}

else if(X == 'ex' && P != 'pansion)
{
XP != expansion
}

else
{
XP != expansion pack;
}

Agh, not all this again!

Mircosoft Expansion is Dubed XP, so XP means Expansion

[Skanky Burns]

for (i = 0; i < 65535; i++)
   cout << "XP == Expansion Pack :p";

[notyoueither]

I'll give you two guesses.

The one that doesn't include "bribe a flunky at the local game store to get it a day early" doesn't count.

[Skanky Burns]

In all honesty, I don't think I will get the XP. I downloaded the latest patch, installed it, but have yet to even start a game with it.

[bigfree1]

Never, ever, ever, ever!




Ever!






Unless I see both games at a yard sale for under $10.00!(for both)

[Flandrien]

If the XP includes pbem, I will buy it.
Otherwise, no.

[campmajor!]

I think I will buy it if it is not too expensive...
