Civ 3

[Embattle]

Any one got it?

 

[bigbb]

no.

 

[djpringle]

Is it actually out yet???

If it is I'm buyin it tomorrow

 

[Embattle]

Came out Friday.

 

[djpringle]

should've stayed out of the pub then

 

[Moving Target]

not buying....crap comes to mind

 

[Summo]

Because that's all that's in there.

 

[Wij]

Nah, Empire Earth will be my next biggie. I wanna put my time-travelling intelligent robots up against stone-throwing cavemen

 

[Summo]

Just been browsing an EE site and it sounds pretty interesting. Also sounds like it's out already.

Hmm...

I wonder what my point is.

edit: Wiglet, what's your recommended webby for EE info?

 

[Embattle]

Out this Friday.

 

[Wij]

Yup, Friday. Got the day off

 

[Nibbler]

Didn't really like the EE demo. Tis waaaaay too mush like Age Of Empires 2.

 

[Summo]

Gah! Tis a foolish man who views it as AoK at first play.

 

[Wij]

What's wrong with AoK anyway ?

 

[bigbb]

I likeh AoK played for hours, but onlin0r was shitel

I must investigate this Empire Earth you speak of, it sounds as if it may occupy my weekend quite nicely.

 

[Wij]

Sounds like a plan

 

[Moving Target]

im sticking with HL

 

[Wij]

Forever ?

Boring cnut0r !

 

[xane]

Got it yesterday.

Pretty much like Civ2 really, a lot of the annoying features (like Caravans and Diplomats) have been re-done and make the game a lot smoother to play and less frustrating.

The "culture" aspect of the game is going to take getting used to, I can see it opening up a lot more strategies, and the AI is very good even at Chieftain level (but then again I never rose beyond Prince at Civ2).

You really need to be a Civ-nut to appreciate what Civ3 has, but overall it is a very well designed game and a worthy sequal to Civ2.

Quite a few bugs have been reported, so I guess a patch is on the horizon.

 

[Wij]

quel surprise

 

[old.?]

I've got Civ 3 and I love it.

I love the democracy!

 

[old.Munkie]

I walked into HMV on Friday and the choise was Civ 3 or AvP2.


Couldn't make up my mind so bought neither.



Think I may just wait for RTCW instead.

 

[Summo]

Yeah, but it's got, like zombies in it.

Personally I'm planning to pick up Empire Earth on Friday, then Medal of Honour: Allied Assault in February, instead of RtCW. Looks much better.

 

[nothing]

would you buy Vampire: Resurrection on that pretext?

anyway, I've ordered a copy, and as soon as it arrives EVERYTHING is going to stop. Except my pc =)

 

[Wij]

Fuck's sake Summo. This is Wolfenstein ! The Daddy. The Big Cheese. The Sweaty Scrote. The Chimp's Fannybatter. The Flying Frot.

Think !!!7

 

[Summo]

I don't wanna!

 

[Wij]

THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINK damn you !!!h

Wolf has Mutant Nazis and Robot Whores* and is therefore miles better than some pretend-o 'real' crap wank of a turd non-game.

Wolf is a part of FPS lore. If you don't buy it then I expect you to play through Spear Of Destiny on Death Incarnate level instead.

*maybe

 

[Nibbler]

Who's the Daddy? Wolfenstein! Pre-ordered mine ages ago. Summo, yer gunna be the odd one out of the whole forums :/

 

[Summo]

I don't care if the previous version of this game is part of nerd history. I live in the now. I want a WWII game where I can run round killing Nazis. Don't want yet another fps that thinks that killing zombies/aliens/crates/face huggers/robot pimps is fun or satisfying in any way, like Qx, UT, or like, whatever.

One of the first things people notice about the German WWII European Campaign is the controvertial way they didn't rely on the occult or flesh-eating undead to gain their territory.

RtCW can kiss my zomby-free arse.

I want a game where I can run round killing what looks like people. No tentacles, no mucus (unless it's a Nazi with a cold).



/edit: I prolly will buy it, though.

 

[Nibbler]

B-b-but....

Leather!Zombies!Venom Guns!Flamethrowers!BJ Blazcowicz!No Hitler in a robot suit this time!
