Civ 3 naysayers, eat your heart out!
Judging from the overwhelmingly positive reviews everywhere, esp from Gamespot and Computer Gaming World, the game is well received by the gaming community as a whole.

Take that, naysayers

I have owned Civ3 for a few weeks now, and have not yet installed it. I really don't feel in the mood for playing civ games anymore.

I want EU2!

*Cheerfully runs off to code some more EU2 events while Civ3 lies unattended due to lack of scripting language*

No, actually I recall the ctp2 reviews. most of them gave it a higher rating than ctp, but said that it was what ctp should be. while Civ3 is getting 90%, 4/5, A-B rating, ctp2 got 80%, 3/5, B-C rating. noone but noone gave it a perfect score.

Indeed, it was received very well overall (though I don't remember the exact grades, could have been slightly lower than Civ3 but I'm sure the difference isn't phenomenal). But does anyone remember what feature got most (or at least a lot) of the praise? Well I do: the AI I also remember how one or two reviewers actually complained about how CtP2 was much less customizable than Civ2

Most game reviewers are complete morons, they don't have a clue about what they're talking about. The only reason why I occasionally read game reviews (esp. online ones) is because their cluelessness can be entertaining These reviewers play 1 or 2 games and think they've seen it all. Sure, the first time I played FE Civ2 on Deity I got my @ss kicked too, but does that mean it's got good AI?

LOL@UR. Thanks, that's the best one I've heard in a long time.

And when the final patch is released it's definitely going to be in the 10,5-12,0 range. Maybe even the magic super score of 13 is in reach for this glorious game!

I remember that when Civ 2 came out, a Portuguese gaming magazine gave it around 75%!!!

Go figure!

Nowadays, every game is just absolutely great, according to reviews. It's just a "mob" to incite people to buy the most games possible.

Hmph. CGM also gave it a good rating, 5 stars I believe- however, they mentioned nothing about scenario editors and both said they had only played the game for a "few days" when they reviewed it--- they probably should have waited later... I mean, a scenario editor is ESSENTIAL to a 4 1/2 star rating... 4 stars w/o a Scenario editor I can understand, but to say the game is improved because it was not in it- nor was MP????

perposterous.
