Anything good takes some time to perfect. As long as they don't ask me to pay for the patches/updates then I can get along with them just fine!!

This makes software completely unlike cars and such, where reliability and safety are often prime concerns. I, personally, will never base my decision to buy a game on how buggy it is. If I trust the company enough (as I do Firaxis), I can rest assured that most bugs will be ironed out over time.
ZubieMaster said:I'm not suggesting payola is going on, but I do think there is a bandwagon factor (they read what everyone else says and just sign on) and/or a respect for the franchise's past factor being played (they are giving it a great grade because they loved past Civs and this one looks like it's even better on the surface) that take away from the credibility of the reviews. Oh well, bottom line is if you love the game you love the reviews, and vice versa.

Civ4 rocks.
