How would you like it?
would you rather have a rushed copy of civ2 in say October, a fully completed one in say December, or bugged up betas all along the way?

Of course everybody wants a finished copy in December and not a piece of crap in an earlier month. I would rather have a finished copy in March than an incomplete copy in an earlier month. I'm pretty sure most people would agree with me.

If they release betas within 1 - 2 months we all pay full price then we report back tell them bugs that way they have 3 million playtesters so practically no bugs. They release patches over internet or in shops. Or If you dont want to do that you just wait till next spring.

This poll is wrong. Everyone is going to vote for Dec with a good game.

What the poll should read is:

a) October no matter what
b) December with some bugs
c) Whenever the game is done


This would actually make people think about their decision. I would vote for whenever the game is done but can some people wait til next May, I would have to say no and so these people would vote for Oct or Dec.

I have civ2, Civ III is what I'm after.

No major bugs, bugs in peripheral areas I can deal with. As long as it doesn't affect gameplay.

Only seven percent voted for the beta, I'm surprised. I'm not a programmer, but I'd *love* to play the beta for Firaxis. Firaxis, you listening? Dan? Jeff?
