Default Re: Should I buy it or wait till it\'s \"fixed\"

BUY IT. I complain about the AI but in fact I never won the game not even once. And am a gemini, know what that means? I get bored of things quickly... , now think of it, this is probably the ONLY game that had kept me playing for a month! (moo II Lasted 2 weeks)

plus, this is the only game where you could blow up startrek ships with your tie fighters . I probably paid twice as much than the rest of you to get this game, but I'm totally happy with it!

If you want a game that will make you forget the time of day, forget the real world, and make you come back for more.. I say buy it and be very happy.

Buy it.

The game isn't perfect but it's still a lot of fun. MM will continue to support and improve the game, not just fixing bugs but adding new features. They've said as much and proven that point with SE3. I don't think you would see so much feedback about the game (positive and negative) if people didn't like the game so much.

Buy it. The gameplay is still, with the AI bugs, better than any existing 4X game on the market.

Well, I'd say buy it. The game does have a few minor bugs in it, and could use a better AI.
But all in all, I love this game. In the next few patches, I think that all the bugs will all be zorched thouroughly.
