Civ3PTW: Gamespot's Most Disappointing Game on PC
there is a message on the poly civ3-front page http://apolyton.net/civ3/ about gamespot's "best of 2002" votes, but it wasn't mentioned, that PTW had the sad honour to win the contest of the "Most Disappointing Game on PC".

http://gamespot.com/gamespot/feature...2002/pc33.html

note: i don't believe the civ3-community was disappointed, because we all knew what we were going to get and what not. i was only hoping for a full scenario diplomacy editor...

however, as a game (after the patches) PTW is playable a imho quite enjoyable.

[edit: typos]

For that matter, PTW was considered the "Most Disappointing Game on PC" by pretty much everyone on Apolyton well before Gamespot printed a story on it.

????
Giving your own opinion is fine by me, but if your going to speak for everyone, make sure your right.

I personally like and enjoy PTW very much, yes, it sure can use another patch, which will be here (very) soon btw.

Edit: added ' for everyone'

I'd not say that I'm disappointed with PTW (I enjoy the additions), but the whole thing left a sour taste in my mouth.

oh, and alva, tell us what you know.

It's even more disappointing if you haven't got Civ3.

Unless you REALLY like the cover art.
