I was on 2k forums and saw Dale taunting me to post here again so I decided to have a little more fun.

Failed to get me to post another response so they could ban me for trolling.

BTW, what exactly did Paradox Interactive do that has you so riled up? I have found them to be one of the better companies out there.

HOI III was a disaster on launch but besides that they've been pretty good.

Never had a problem with their mods.

Provide examples or it's just slander.

I like Paradox in general, but they never did and probably never can fix CK properly. Here's to hoping CK2 turns out better.

 

Can I throw in WoW fanboys/girls?



 

CK is wonderful!

Quoting InternetNerd, reply 131HoI3 + Sempre Fi is actually a pretty good game.  I originally got HoI3 on release, played it a few weeks then dumped it (mostly due to the massive supply bugs).  When Sempre Fi came out it was gifted to me by a friend so I tried the game again, and it was pretty good! 

 

Agreed. Semper Fi really spruced up the game. Some critics say that that's how the original game should have been. Whatever the case, I'm happy with it now but at the time of HOI IIIs release, it was effectively a disaster.

Ahhh I see some of the Paradox FANBOIS are here as well. They know full well how the gestapo moderators work over there. They delete posts and ban for saying negative things about their games. I've seen it, my friends have seen it and YOU have seen it. So don't act like paradox forums are gods gift to gamers. Worst forum and worst forum fanboie members I've ever seen.


I'm not a Paradox Fanboi. I just find it odd that you'd slander them while providing zippo in terms of proof. Back up what you say. It isn't a hard concept.

Certainly they aren't perfect but they are better than most.

I have come to the conclusion that you are simply bored and are trolling for your amusement. Saying idiotic things to get a rise out of other people. Likely you were trolling on the Paradox Forums and got slapped down. Now you are having a little temper tantrum.

May I suggest putting down the mouse, taking a deep breath and walking outside. There's a whole big world out there you can explore. Lol.

TROLL ALERT ^ none of his post was about the topic at hand at least mine were. As I said Paradox fanbois and their gestapo moderators are the worst. End of story. More news at 10. Oh an one other thing buddy BOY unless you are a lawyer which I know you are not now I don't have to prove anything to you or show you any proof. The proof is over at the Paradox forums why don't you go there so we can get back to the TOPIC at hand. )

Why are there no Starcraft fanboys on this list?

I started with Civ 3, and imho if you like Civ 3 but didn't like the corruption/waste or pollution (and thought veterans should be stronger) then I think you should give Civ IV a shot.

Especially with FFH mod.

however, yea ... I to am skipping on Civ V for now, I no longer believe a game is worth buying until it is at least a year old.


 

I found the Civ3 editor corrected the excessive corruption/waste problem and made it a useful part of the game, and I liked the pollution. I also thought veterans were over powered in the regular game, but one could make veterans any way they wanted with the editor, even make them the same as conscripts or 10x more powerful. The way combat was modeled in Civ3 was a 100x better than the garbage in Civ4 with its single O/D factor and cheesy specials.

 

I initially tried the Civ4 demo when the game came out. My first impression is that this was a kid's game. You had animals running around knocking off units (lions and tigers and bears - OH MY!!!    ) which was very silly, childish and stupid. The previous barbarians were a much better idea. I liked how the game starts off announcing you had this group of nomadic hunter-gatherers and then after forming your first town, you get to research - hunting. Cheese. Later I got a chance to play the full game at a friend's place. He had the expansions, also. And I found the Civ4 cheese only got more ripe. You see, I look at the civ series as an all round strategy game, involving units interacting with each other, science & development, economics, the works. A little bit of everything that goes into making civilizations. In Civ4, they essentially removed the units from the equation by making them so basic. You had all these complicated other dynamics, but the units were an afterthought. Half the game for me is building the civilization, the other is messing around with the units. So with Civ4, they took away half the fun for me right there. But that was only part of the problems I had with getting into the game. The other was the way the development worked. There were too many steps that didn't add to game play. They only made the game more tedious. They were not modeled very realistically, either, in fact, realism wise, Civ4 was less realistic that Civ3 in its mechanics. An example would be the religion in Civ4. Pure limburger cheese, that. It added another layer of tedium, but in no way resembled religion or how it affected things in real history.

I came away from playing the game comparing it to MOO3 - way too much tedious "busy work", no immersion, and no real enjoyment of the game. They took away the wrong things and added too much "accounting" work, it felt like playing a combination of one of the sims (which I find really boring) and doing my taxes (no need to elaborate on that).  It didn't feel like I was playing a strategy game about civilizations. It felt more like a console game where the game play was an aspect that got left out.
