Just because we don't have screenshots and such ,doesn't mean that Firaxis is not doing anything. They have repeatedly reassured us that the game is coming along nicely. When they are ready, they will put up the site and show us what the game has to offer. For all you know the game might actually be in beta stage already. You shouldn't blast Firaxis when you don't have any proof to back up your claims.

Sure, I am impatient for the game, just like everybody else on this forum. I don't think there is a poster here who isn't impatient for the game. But you don't see them insulting Firaxis like you did.

I can't stand you people who think that Firaxis is our slaves or something: it's "Firaxis give us civ3 now, Firaxis, we don't like this, make a patch right now, Firaxis, we want a editor, make one right now". Just because we're the customer, does not mean we have the right to "order" them around!

As it is oft-repeated, I want a bug free game, not a rushed game because consumers were too anxious.

For real, or is that just a metaphor.

Are you addicted to Civ and worried that you might not be around by the time the game comes out?

Just asking because there could be a BIG misunderstanding here.

You are more than welcome to express your displeasure with how long the game is taking to be released; however, I would ask that you treat FIRAXIS and the board here with respect. By that I mean that you don't use curse words (I edited it out) or attack anybody personally (which you didn't here, but I'm covering my bets for future posts).

just a metaphor

but anyway, guys dont take it so seriously. on the ot, to get anything moderat noticed, you have to shout it so loud, well, pretty damn loud. so anyway, i still hold my opinion, but i didn't realize the delicacy of the peopl on these forums anyway, im sorry, but my position still stands. dont have time to argue now, but maybe i'll be back later

No worries. I understand. OT is the Wild West of Apolyton. Hopefully you'll make the transition.

Jeff,

quote: Right on, El Diplo! As it is oft-repeated, I want a bug free game, not a rushed game because consumers were too anxious. Man, check out the CTP II forums if you want to see some unhappy people and some raging attitudes! I hope that doesn't spill over to Civ III. MarkG has his hands full over there with some ragers. Let's be better "forum citizens" in Civ III forums.

quote: heh, you think that they're taking long to make the game? gawd, I have been around, and the time its taking to make this game is very fast. If it takes another 2 years to make it, then I will start to consider it taking a long time.

whatever

quote: Hey man get a grip. These people at Firaxis run by their schedule, not yours. They can wait 10 years before releasing this game if they damn well feel like it. They can make the game from a first person view if they damn feel like it. Its their game, so while they are working extrem diligently on it, go out, breathe the air, get some sun and wait for what will be the best of the Civilization series...like any normal person would. Peace

btw, hold on to that last thought

sorry. btw. i cant remember. which curse word did i use?
i dont DO personal attacks
i now bow down to the omnicient and omnipotent yin26 of the civ3 forums in respect and homage to his ever-so-holy presence and promise forevermore to be respectful especially to the gods of firaxis, whose (cough cough) wrath i do not wish to feel
