SO... we get to buy Civ III all over again, eh?

[Yolky]

I am not shure if this was said before since I wasn't here for a while, but thought I would come buy since I just herd of the expansion pack being released.

I read that it will have multiplayer and a full editor. Wasn't that promised before?

Will we have to wait for the patches to come out after we buy the expansion pack to get what was promised?

Will we ever get our designers notes?

I for one will not buy it. Air fields? radar stations? I am not paying $50 canadian for it. That could have been done in a patch release.

Does anyone know of anything yet that can really grab me to buy this game? I havn't seen anything yet that would grab me or get excited about it. I am disapointed with Civ III but had some fun with it but not for very long.

Hoping this is the game what CIV III should have been. (or should I say it should be called Call to Power III)

hehe

Ooh, this hasn't been discussed on countless previous occasions...

[Jaybe]

Oh, you will not pay for it, but you DO hope it becomes what you had always hoped it would be??? Gad, are you masochistic or what?

For the upteenth time, other great Civ games also took updates and/or XP's to get to their 'ideals'.

Examples:
Civ2, Civ2 Gold (came out HOW MANY YEARS after Civ2???)
CtP, CtP2 with YEARS of modding community support to get to a decent AI.

Okay, so you are just in shock, impatient & frustrated.
Just remember how many blissful (aka TOTALLY wasted) hours/days that $50C can bring!

[CapTVK]

A few games like Freeciv, civ-evo or Clash of Civilizations are missing on that list Jaybe. Is the price of 0$ canadian more to your liking?

[Sava]

I'm not going to buy the expansion. Firaxis has completely alienated me by producing such a crap version of Civ.

[Sir Kruschev]

isnt an XP normally a lot cheaper than the original disk ?

[Immortal Wombat]

No. Its an urban myth put about to make you buy the XP in the mistaken impression that it is.

[Skanky Burns]

Its true - they used to be cheaper than the original game.

[MosesPresley]

I'm going to check the feedback here on the xp when it comes out. If all seems well, then I will buy it. Otherwise I will wait until it hits the bargain rack or they release the bonus discount version that always, eventually, comes out.

Civ 3 1.21f is good enough as is to hold me off until then. Vote with your money. It is the only thing the corporations understand.

I'd be willing to bet that everyone here will buy it or get a pirated copy. If it's the later I hope you burn in hell.

I think you're missing the point of warez. Warez is not about getting everything for free, it's just, what I would call, a demo of the game. If the pirated version can grab my interest for more than 2 weeks, then it's worth buying = I'll buy it! I have too many times bought a game were the demo looks promising, but the game just ended up in the trash withing hours

Sure, there's people around who'll do anything to get it for free and then just "forget" to buy it, even after enjoying the game for years, those people I don't have anything to do with, they're just common thiefes!

[MarkG]

ADG, warez is in no way justified

there are stores(EB for example i think) which have a return policy

if you want to be sure you'll enojy the games you pay, use these stores. warez is thieft

[Cyclotron]

MarkG is entirely right. Warez is indisputably theft. It's irrelevant how you use it, or even if you eventually buy it. You'll find that theives don't get aquitted because of "good intentions."

[Adagio]

I know warez is illegal, but I'm no way going to pay tons of money for a game I hate withing hours of purchase. For reasons I never buy from online stores, and in Denmark (At least were I live) you can't get your money return if the game sux big time
