He already pointed out that he was referring in that comment to the new Pirates game, not Civ3.
An easily defeated backtrack. He said it 'remind anyone of anything'. A 3D Sid game which is supposed to 'remind anyone of anything' and then he said Civ3 was bad. Not hard to figure out.
Saying it was just used to refer to Pirates! is nothing more than being caught and trying to backtracked.

Hmm...... remind anyone of anything?
He screwed us with Civ3, he'll screw us with Pirates.
If you disagree then fair enough, but disagree with his points. Don't pick at a slight oversight that was later corrected anyway. You don't want people to think you can't address the points authoritively and so choose to attack a different way.

it was like soooo OT man
And i completely understand Dales comments, but i just have a 'good' feeling about Pirates2 - its such a great game + I just couldn't bare to see another all time top 10 classic get well and truely stuffed up, it would be too muchLast edited by child of Thor; March 24, 2004, 13:37.'The very basis of the liberal idea – the belief of individual freedom is what causes the chaos' - William Kristol, son of the founder of neo-conservitivism, talking about neo-con ideology and its agenda for you.info here. prove me wrong.

For those that like monkey island and indeed any lucas arts adventure games. Scummvm allows you to run them on newer systems without problem: www.scummvm.org
You have to have the game though, all scummvm does is make it run
This can be used to play the versions for other platforms as well btw, I bought MI3 for windows and played it on my mac with this (and if you have the Mac version of MI2 you can play it on windows, and so on).
Scummvm also supports revolutions broken sword games.
And MI1 and 2 are definatly the better onesLast edited by Henrik; March 24, 2004, 14:09.No Fighting here, this is the war room!

True, but an entire generation has discovered computer games since the release of the original trilogy. They all predate Civ 1 for goodness sake. Did Monkey Island 4 make much of an impact? Not that I recall.To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.

Sure, it's a good thing to look on Sid's successes, but don't ride it into the dirt. Granted, Railroad tycoon, Civ 1 and pirates were massive successes, but he's failed just like every other developer out there. Gettysburg, Civ3 (in my opinion and a lot of other peoples, you either love or hate it), and lo 'n behold, Simgolf! Yes, in Australia it failed. It was in a classic label box a month after release for $19.95!
I'm looking at his progression through time designing/coding, and notice that his success graph plots like the dropping of the American dollar! So how can I NOT make the assumption that Pirates2 may fail? Add to that the fact Firaxis already stated it would be directed more to the masses (which means more directed towards the young console crowd who don't have the experience of grand strategy that us 80's/90's gamers did).
Personally, I hope Pirates2 is as fantastic if not more than the original, but I'm not pinning my hopes on it. There's plenty of choice for my limited gaming dollars, so they're going to have to do a good job to stop me spending on something else.
That's my 2 cents Imran, and if you don't like it STIFF!

The 3D engine point clearly refers to the new Pirates game. Granted he should have made clear he didn't mean that part reminded him of Civ3 when he drew the comparison later in the post. However he posted again after to say he was referring to the Pirates game 3D engine, so the point is clear.
The point wasn't clear at the time. The 3D engine crack only refered to solely Pirates! afterwards. And yes, I'm supposed to pick out inconsistencies like this... I'm in law school, you see?
You don't want people to think you can't address the points authoritively and so choose to attack a different way.
What points should I address? Yes, Sid is doing this, yes Atari is publishing it, yes, an old classic is being redone, yes, it's a 3d engine (but beautiful rather than crap). No, I don't think that Civ3's failures mean every game Sid does from now on will suck.
These comments are exactly the same ones us CTP2 lovers got from Civ3 lovers
Oh God, you are a CTP2 lover . And you think you have the capacity to judge how good a game will be .
We'd come up with points for and against each title
What points? I've already shown above, they ain't arguments.

Likewise don't ride Sid's ONE big failure into the dirt. Gettyburg! can by no means be called a failure, and if you are merely going on sales, then System Shock 2 was a failure, but it still is considered one of the greatest games of all time by major magazines. Both Gettysburg! and SimGolf recieved rave reviews.

SimGolf was a wonderfully fun game. Gettysburg! was amazing. SMAC is the best Civ-type game ever made. One misstep and his success is dropping on the graph? Huh?“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.

This is pointless. If you want to keep argueing, be my guest. But I'm outa here.

I said the engine was crap
Most people considered Morrowind to be a great graphical game... and this is the same engine.
You just proved my point.
What, that CTP series sucks so much ass that anyone who admits it can't be trusted?
Magazines also said Moo3 was amazing too!
Really?
Not every critic is the same. Metacritic offers aggregated game reviews from the top critics, and our own METASCORE pinpoints at a glance how each game was reviewed.
62% is a reaaaaly baaaad score.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
