How many of you will actually like MoO3?

[Jack Frost]

Seriously, so many people here are such hard core fans that one has to wonder... is there any way that you can be satisfied with MoO3? Can it possibly live up to your expectations? I mean sh-t... its only a game.

Day after release I'm expecting a 50/50 flame/compliment split.

Yes actually my Expectations are just an Advanced Moo3. :=)
I dont care much about Graphics i just want longtime entertainment

I never played any game in the series, so I think I'll approach it with a pure and interested heart.

[dojoboy]

I've never played the MoO series, so I figure I'll enjoy it.

A day/week after release if its good I won't be posting. If its bad (i.e. I have serious problems) you can bet I'll be posting. Thats why the main boards are often a flaming hell for the first month.

[Harry Seldon]

Can't tell until I play it but I have a soft spot in my heart for the series so I'm assuming I'll like it even if it stinks.

[Sarxis]

All the hype and going ape-sh9T over the game is just for fun too. When it comes down to it, I can turn off the 'fountain of expectation' with little effort; I mean, there's so many other games out there, so its not like it will be the end of the world if MoO3 is a flop.

I imagine I will "like" the game in the sense that I "liked" EU2. I will play it a lot at first, then realize how disappointing it is and stop playing with a bad taste in my mouth. Some of the decisions made by IG just seem so similar to the fundamental flaws in EU2 that I don't think this will become my new favorite game.

Speaking of EU2, they just released another patch.

[Alex]

Hm, now I wonder if I did the right thing when I bought my copy of EU (the first one) one or two months ago. I never installed it (too many games to play, not enough time), but now I'm curious.

[moomin]

Well, whatever happens, vmxa1 has promised us a detailed review one day after he's got the game. We'll hold him to it!

[Grumbold]

I hope he comes equipped with time compression software

[jscott991]

I'm surprised to hear that. I'll have to check it out. It can't solve the fundamental problems of the game (the one province rule and the horrible AI), but maybe it tweaked the cavalry blitzing, no allies that aren't adjacent to you, and other minor quirks with the last patch.

I expect I will love it based on what the Betatesters have said.

Of course, thats all I can base it on at present.

From all the stuff I know of the game, it seems very awesome to me....I dont expect to be disappointed. I feel it wil meet my high expectations.

I had high expectations for Civ3 and they were not met. I think I got pissed off at the corruption more than anything...and the fact that you could never gain a tech lead on emperor/deity, which is what I liked to play....and that to play well it was all aobut early rushes, a rush with every single freaking new offensive unit....to do really well at deity.

I may have liked it more had I not had Civ1/2 playstyles ingrained in me at the start....like trying to colonize with cities spread apart so that they cold all become perfect (bad in Civ3), and irrigating everything (civ 3 needs many mines), and so on...

I will learn from this and not expect moo3 to require the same playstyle as moo2/1. I will approach it as a new games with ties to old ones, and try to figure it out...and it will be a lot of fun to figure out

Same here. So no matter what, Moo3 is going to be good. So what Refitting is out? So what theres no more bombs? I dont care really.

Ignorance is bliss when it comes to Moo3 it seems
