      Well after Civ 3 I'll wait until others here on Poly buy it, and decide based on their reviews.

      As the saying goes "Fool me once, shame on you, Fool me twice, shame on me."

        Yes I will get it, but depends how much. Since I live in Canada most games are usually around $60cnd. I might have to wait for it as a christmas present if the due date is around November or December. If it's after the New Year and the price is around $60 not like $85 for War Craft III I will get it as soon as it comes out.

          Yolky,

          Sears Canada Christmas catalog has MOO 3 listed for $70.

          Compusmart website has it listed for $80! (That's ridiculously high!)

          Future Shop doesn't have it listed yet.

          I will probably wait until it is reviewed here and if good , get it for a reasonable price (<$60). If Warcraft 3 is any comparison, the price may drop rapidly as Warcraft 3 started at $90 and has already dropped to $65 in many places.

            That's expensive. Ridiculously so.

              You won't get any argument from me on that... however, it is in Canadian funds (multiply by 2/3 to get the US equivalent eg $60 Canadian = $40 US, $80 Canadian = $53 US)

                I used to be in the second category, way back when. Now I'm in the "I'll wait to see how the reviews turn out, but I doubt that they'll be very favorable so I'm just gonna wait and buy Deus Ex 2" category.

                  You know, great as DE2 is sure to be, a Moo substitute it's not.

                  I'm taking a look at GalCiv, myself. Looks very promising so far.

                    Oh no, it's a completely different genre, but I don't have a substitute strategic war game to look forward to.

                        Hopefully! But I actually think GalCiv will turn out to be an excellent offering in the space 4x line up should Moo3 fail completely.

                        Otherwise too, of course

                          At this point I am not sure any of these will be in my hands this year (GalCiv,Moo3 or Bre).

                            My expectations has cooled of since the loss of teamplay and the latest bad previews, but I will probably buy it, when it comes on sale.

                              I´ll buy it as soon as it is released (22.9. for Germany I think).

                              The current reviews left me with mixed emotions, but I´m willing to give it a try.
                              Mayby there were just very high expectations from the authors of the articles which the Game coudn´t meet.
                              Even if it´s mostly just MOO2 with a bigger universe and more Spaceships and more Options to upgrade the Ships I would be happy

                                Not sure if this is a good sign or not but Compusmart (a Canadian computer retailer) which has been listing MOO 3 as being available in September for months is now suddenly listing it as being available on December 18th instead. (However the Mac version is still listed as October 16)
