Re: MOO3 finished!
I got free subscription to computer gaming world, and after "round filing" the renewal over a year ago, and still I get it. it's really the only one I look at. Good bathroom reading. I have heard people say they all suck but this one, or that one. But it has been my experience, there is no more accrutate of a review, than the players who have bought the game, and felt strongly enough to post on a BB about it. I know some people hate a paticular game, when others like it. I am not talking about that. i am talking about bugs. I can decide for myself if a game is enjoyable, and no one can tell me that anyway. But if the game is broken, completly unbalanced, in desperate need of a patch, and missing key features, this will be apparent in short order by the sheer number of Posts about it on said BB. I don't mind waiting. I have been there/done that with getting a game as soon as it is released, and it turning out to be "unfinished". And all things being equal, I don't mind the wait. If they want more first-day customers, put out a demo.

Let's see, a short list of major games released in the Last few years that are perfectly playable right out of the box:
Warcraft III
Neverwinter Nights
Medieval: Total War
Morrowind
Age of Wonders II
Freedom Force
Civ III
Starfleet Command III

Re: MOO3 finished!
NwN had a few mega issues with it's copy prot software that for a couple months could only be fixed by downloading a crack, or not updating past Version 1.18 (and thus being unable to multiplayer).
Think it was a fairly sizable group of the playerbase.
I do however have to say it's rather unfair to compare a game to an EA game without playing it first. EA is the MS of the gaming world as far as I'm concerned.
I rarely buy games without playing the demos first, with few exceptions. There's just no way to really know how the game will feel to you til you can play it.

Re: MOO3 finished!
Civ III was most certainly not perfectly playable right out of the box, especially later on in the game.

Re: MOO3 finished!
Actually I would say Microprose is the MS of the gaming world.
Anyone remember Xcom and UFO? You couldnt even finish UFO unless you got the patch! And Xcom had a habit of it's own in crashing.
But Infogrames has a better reputation, right?

Considering that I played an entire game before I applied any patches, I don't think that's true. Are you talking about stability or playability here?
