Looking forward to it

Can someone shed some light on this game please? I can't gather information very well myself, so can someone post some info on this game? Also, when does it come out in stores?

There is a whole lot of stuff in this thread

Well, I just got a reservation at the local EB Games. I'm first in line, once it arrives in October (perfectly timed for my birthday).

Is it really that hard to be first in line in Whitehorse?

Yes it is. You see, since it's build on ice, it moves a bit furing the night. So you must make sure to pitch your tentgloo on a sled and secure it to one of the hitching posts in the building's outer wall next to a heating vent. Waiting in line anyother way will result in you being frozen in line or, since hte building will have moved, you'll be lucky to still be in the line at all.

*The above may not be the least bit accurate.

@SuBi- Someone beat me to Civ4 Warlords... so apparently other people are capable of it in this town.

@PrinceScamp- Nah, we've got a layer of high-friction dirt over the permafrost to hold things in place.

Does anyone here know if a reservation at EB Games is the same as a pre-order?

RedRalphWiggum · May 22, 2008, 09:51 AM

Anyone else really looking forward to this game? I think it looks like somehting which could have a long a shelf life as civ even....

Ziggy Stardust · May 22, 2008, 09:55 AM

Stop reminding me howlong I have to wait for this

I am so looking forward to this.

My only fear is that they have the mechanics all nicely worked out, and forget about challenging gameplay.

Does anyone know if this will also be released on consoles first, after which the pc user has to wait 4 months to get a crack at it? Or is this mainly a pc game?

De Lorimier · May 22, 2008, 09:58 AM

Silly me. That's the first time I read about this game. Looks amazing!!

The goofy nintendo-like graphics will be something different from my usual game choices, but the premise sounds great. Every civ enthusiast has to at least give it a try.

RedRalphWiggum · May 22, 2008, 09:58 AM

PC first I think

Yeah the graphics dont particularly appeal to me, but the evolution and multi genre aspect blows me away...

aronnax · May 22, 2008, 10:05 AM

Im not really that excited over the game. I have this weird feeling its not as good as it seems

Patroklos · May 22, 2008, 10:06 AM

I intend to buy and play it, but I don't think it will have staying power. The universe is indeed huge, but it looks like it lacks detail. No economy, no resources, no research...

I can just see the thing getting boring fast, "oh wow I went to another world and did the exact same thing I did at the last 100 worlds" sort of thing.

I intend to get it for my kids: hopefully it will be a bit educational. Though I'm terribly disappointed with the delay (MoO3, anyone?)

My wife is expecting this like the second coming of the Messiah.

Truronian · May 22, 2008, 10:52 AM

It'll probably be fun and incredibly easy. It won't be the "BEST GAME IN THE WORLD EVER!" that alot of people are expecting.
