Played RoN demo for 6+ months, just got full version

[vootguy]

The somewhat recent release of the Thrones and Patriots demo made me wonder why, after months and months of playing the original RoN demo, I haven't yet picked up the full game.

Well, this weekend I finally did.

I have to say, it's worthy of every single "Best of 2003" award it has received. This game has impeccable polish, flawless design, inspiring audio, and deep gameplay. Simply put, it's one of the best games I've played in years. The demo alone had enough gameplay for more than 6 months, I can't imagine how long I'll be playing the full version.

I'm picking up Thrones and Patriots in a couple of days (not that I've run out of gameplay in the original yet).

This game really nails home the fact that Brian Reynolds was the true genius behind Civ2 and Alpha Centauri rather than Sid Meier.

Pardon the rant n' rave .

Dude......!!!

Why would you play the demo for 6 months?

You would think that you would know you would like or dislike the game after the first week, wouldnt you?

I played the demo for 6 months because it was adequate for me, had a ton of gameplay in it, and I just didn't want to spend the cash

Well I'm sure you now know the value of RoN, hope you find out about T&P asap!

Just picked up T&P a few weeks ago as well... it's amazing as well, though since it cost the same as the original I guess I was expecting a little bit more. It felt somewhat like it was stuff they just left out of the original game. Still worth the additional $30 though.
