State of the game....

I may be wrong but I have a bad feeling about the game right now. This isn't because they are competition, it's because the publisher doesn't have a great track history with hard core game titles.

I agree with Richard, I think they will screw it up. I've been reading their bhah-blah. I think it will be another "Reach for the", (wallet, opps), I mean, "Stars.".

I, too, would be pleasantly surprized if it wasn't. I am not expecting too much, however.

Cynic, I am.

Well, I can only repeat my observation from the Civ III thread. The first release of everything is a public beta. I'm hearing more and more good comments about Civ III now that it has been patched a gazillion times. If they release on their announced schedule -- in time for this Christmas season, that is -- MOO III will not be really 'done' until next summer, I'd say. And that's plenty of time for major changes. So if you hear a lot of *****ing in the initial reviews, don't completely close your mind to the possiblity it will become a good game later on.

Besides, once it's patched enough to be called "finished" (ie, mid summer), it will have dropped $10 or $20 in price!
