Just curous, will you buy the XP the day it's released, or never?

The next post like this should add a "is this the 9th or 10th time this has been asked?" selection to the poll. :P And yeah, i'll buy it shortly after it comes out. Firaxis has shown that even if it does get rushed they can make it quite playable and enjoyable.

Sorry, I tried to see if this has been asked before, but didn't find any of those threads...or maybe that's because I'm way to tired today

I will buy it as soon as I see it in the stores. (Money is no object)

In fairness, we now actually have some verification for the expansion, so I think it's fine to ask again.

Cognitive dissonance demands that I buy the expansion.

I'll buy it once the price drops regardless of what it is released at.

Usually, the price goes down after a month or so of being on the shelves.

I'll probably buy it. However, I'm not at all interested in MP, so it would depend on the other features. I can't see getting it just for eight more Civs, but there will probably be other goodies.

I really liked the SMAX expansion pack, so if that's any indication, I lean toward a buy.

I propably wont buy it. After all the civ3 crap Firaxis made us pay for it would be just to get it as warez

	Put an end to popups!

I will buy it as soon as it reaches the stores. Firaxis has shown to commit themselves so if it is no good I trust they will patch things right. Multiplayer is a must have for me. Having played the AI for far to long now I am thirsty of human blood.

	Got spare money?

Firaxis stuck me with a beta $50 game last November, along with a useless idiotic "Strategy Guide".

Hell will freeze before I buy another Firaxis Civ 3 product - unless I get a $25 rebate for Civ 3.

Anyone who gives Firaxis more money is a sucker. Some of those who say laughably that "money is no object" sound like Firaxis shills.

If it's a fair price ($30 at most), yes. But I won't pay $50 again.

Anyway, I'll buy it for the 8 civs (if I like them), I could care less about online play. Mostly since you can't play online with a modded version, and modding is half the fun of Civ

Here's my new philosophy regarding purchasing computer games.

I won't buy any until I'm absolutely sure that it's worth it. I won't get burned again, no no, not like I did when I rushed out like a trained dog and bought Civ3 LE the very day it hit the stores.

XP's already out. I believe Microsoft debutted it on Oct 25th or something. Windows forever!

	Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

I am a 'Single Player' kind of guy. Scenarios are fine for a couple of plays, but I have never found a scenario game for Civ2 that wasn't way unbalanced. To me the great draw of CIV is the mystery of how the world is shaped. Every game is different, a unique RPG-type* situation. The random map is KING (well, actually Diety, uh, God)!

So, I don't think so, but maybe time will change my mind

*No, I am not referring to 'rocket propelled grenades.'

Eroberer (referring to "XP"),
You should know that Microsoft is a great COPIER of concepts. The Windows metaphor was developed by APPLE!

Actually, the Windows XP system works rather well on the Windoze system I purchased to play Civ3 on; but that is ALL I do on it.

I'm not saying XP is bad by any means. Just that the upcoming expansion pack for Civ3 is not "XP."

I'll give you two guesses.

The one that doesn't include "bribe a flunky at the local game store to get it a day early" doesn't count.

In all honesty, I don't think I will get the XP. I downloaded the latest patch, installed it, but have yet to even start a game with it.
