Let's be constructive

[JiggleTheHandle]

As I go through the forum, I can't help but to notice it's the same handful of posters incessantly whining like someone just ran over their dog. Certainly, like any game, there are legitimate gripes and some people choose to present them in an adult, even-handed, constructive manner. These are the comments that will make the game that much better when you're still playing it 5 years from now.

The other group either have never played a 3-D game before and don't understand what's inside their computer or are put here by other developers as a form of corporate sabotage. After playing for hours on end, I can't imagine how people can think this game is a disaster.

I've installed on four wildly varying computers and the only one that had trouble had no T&L support. If you have a computer that meets or exceeds all of the requirements, have followed the tech support info on the Civ4 website perfectly and you're still having problems, write a detailed report and send to tech support or use the support/bug report forums. Anything less is not only really useless, but detrimental to our favorite series and PC gaming overall.

If not, don't act all surprised when you can only play Civ on your XBox because developers no longer want to try to work around your messed up system.

Well said. You'd think in this day and age that everyone would know how a computer works, even older people who didn't grow up with them.

Well said.. I am amazed on how people behave.. Dont look to good for the PC Game industry or complex strategy games.

There are plenty of people who don't know how a TV work, or a toilet works, etc but they use them everyday. This is never going to change.

Anyway, I agree with the OP.

Amen. What if someone told you no you're not allowed to drive a car until you learn how rack&peanut steering works? Or how about, no mail-order allowed until you learn the differences between different railroad track gauges and high-bypass jet turbine engines?
