	Master of Orion 3: Retail to Bargain Bin in just 4 Months! Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

http://www.gogamer.com/cgi-bin/GoGa...ct/View/001MAS3

Wow... master of orion 3 for just 13 bucks (plus shipping). Moo3 for free was funnier but it really hits you when a game you had been anticipating for years goes from retail to bargain bin in just 4 short months.

I'll give it one last try tomorrow with the code patch but I'm not hopeful guys

I don't think I can even pick up a copy of Half-Life that cheap... and Civ2 is still $10

Moo3 definately deserves the "most dissapointing game award" from gamespot this year...

Nothing of course would give me greater pleasure than to eat my words with a fork and spoon.

Now we just have to wait for Duke Nukem Forever, Doom 3, and Half-Life 2 to come out to dissapoint the hell out of us all

Moo3 has been free on Amazon for a month now

Funny that if you buy it with Gal Civ you get another 10$ off

So they're basically paying people who buy GalCiv $10 to take the ****thing away.

Oh please.

I hardly think money is the reason behind it's failure. Throwing money at something doesn't make it better.

Throwing money at a game in hopes of a patch that makes it fun is foolhardy.

Would you buy ANYTHING that you know is bad in hopes that the company will make it better?

And the whole idea that a developing house will only support (patch) a game if it makes money speaks directly to the fact that the publishers and developers don't care about the game at all....

That they only wanted to release a "game with a name" without any care going into support.

Or it goes back to atari being understaffed or other things...

how ridiculous..."you must buy the game or else there is no hope to make it better.."

please

no ****,

they sold more than a single copy and the patches and support are still **** from what i read.

are you saying that moo3 didn't sell and that's the reason for the lack of support?

I wonder if this is why Infogrames switched its name to Atari? You know, to distance itself from games like MoO3 and CivIII.

The Code patch and data patch make the game alot better. Why not commit you are one of those who want MOO2.5 and Cil2.5 instead of MOO3 and Civ3.

What does this say about the intelligence of people in El Paso, Texas? They are paying $40,- when they could be PAID to take it away by Amazon (I assume Amazon deliver to Texas )

I cannot help it if Amazon doesnot know how to sell games and make money. Amazon was the main reason for the dot.com crask on wallstreet. People where dumd enought to pay 400 dollar ashare for than company that didnot earm one penny yet in pofit.

Actually Amazon was one of the few internet businesses NOT involved with the burst of the dot.com bubble, which is why Amazon are still happily trading today, and have not filed for bankrupcy.

I like civ3.

You like moo3. that's it. period.


I am voicing my opinion on what others say about moo3 and its support.

Charlie, why don't you just play the game and enjoy it instead of coming here to bash anyone who decides to come here to challenge statements made?

It's my opinion, if you don't like it, then respectfully disagree.

Don't bash.

And Charles seems to agree since I see no explaination for people buying it for 40$ if they could get it for -2.01, just a completely out of context (and possibly wrong, I wouldn't know but I'd tend to trust Jamski) bash of Amazon...

In shops over here, it's still at 45 Euros too... But I see no indication of them selling at all... Maybe they rather keep their stuff and sell it for 20 Euro in a year or so when all except diehard MoO2 fans have forgotten that MoO3 was ever committed (how I envy people that don't care!)

Actural people in El Paso are pretty smart first they know that no computer games today comeout bug free anymore. Take a look at the Raise of Nations board and see how man y bug that game have and the video problen they are having. People in El Paso are not big fan of buying online because of security issue I am actural one of the few in El Paso that make afew online purchase of P&P RolePlaying games and Evidence Elimator that clean your computer of all

In away they did cause the dot.com fall when the other dot.com saw Amazon shares goes up to 400 dollar ashares other companies saw than change to unload worthless stocks on a public that was willing to buy anything with than dot.com. Greenspan the Chairman of the FRB was right about the dot.com bring wallstreet down.

man, i can't understand much of what charles is saying...

either way, i really ought to have waited for moo3. as it stands, it's the second computer game purchase that i've made that i sorely regret; the other being the original ctp.

at least i didn't fork over money for that other bomb, enter the matrix.

Oh the original ctp... ouch. Ctp2 was much better, but it still lacked that civ2 modability, just like civ3.

FYI...

Amazon now has the game listed at $39.99. Apparently it hasn't been regulated to the "bargin bin" yet.

As previously mentioned, the rebate from Amazon (which was for NWN and two other games as well as MOO3) speaks more for the people at Amazon not being able to order the right quantities and manage their storage space than it does to the quality of the game.
