HsojVvad -> Are you going to buy the game right away or, are you going to wait? Also a warning as well. (3/24/2010 5:16:27 AM)

Usually now, I wait before I go out and buy a game right away. The only exceptioin is The Elder Scorlls Saga. I will buy them on day one. I still havn't got Sins of a Solar Empire and a few other games, even though they got good reviews. Maybe I am starved for a 4X space game, but then again, but I will think I will buy this game right away. I have read on the sites, I have seen the videos. I was leary at what it promised. I almost thought I was back 7 years ago, when MOO3 was being released. Most of what I read here, is the same for Moo3. I am not sure if this is a good thing or not. By that I mean, Moo3 promised alot of things and it wasn't really delivered and was a really big let down. I still like the game because of the mods the Moo3 fans made, and made it fun.
So I thing DW has big shoes to fill. I thought watching You Tube Videos, was going to be a big joke. As soon as I herd the voice, I thought, oh this is going to be a disaster now. But it worked. Matrix, or who ever, (sorry I don't know if Matrix is the publisher or the game maker or both) didn't bother to go all fancy. They just went straight to the point, made them short, and real. Yeah the voice got a little bit boring, but it was real. I watched all 3 or 4 videos, and now I am really really excited on getting this game. I can't wait for the game to come out.
Yes the graphics are good eye candy, but they are not awsome. They are not ugly either. They are just right, to make the game look nice while playing. I don't want fancy combat, but I do want combat. I think this is what I really wanted Moo3 to be. So I will buy it right away. For me, this might not be on day one, I might have to wait 2 weeks till next pay, unless the game is release now or next day or two. But I will get it right away.
How about you guys? Will you be getting it right away, or will you be waiting till you read what others have to say. To see if they have trouble downloading it, or installing it, or getting the game to work. Will you wait to see if the game is playable or even fun?
As to my warning, this better be a playable game. I don't want to buy game now, and have to patch it later to be playable. I can understand some bugs in a game, but no game breaking bugs. I will not tolerate it. I don't know who Matrix is, but I will give you guys a chance. Don't blow it. One reason why I don't buy many games as I use to, is because of the release now and patch later. Games like Civ IV, Civ III, espically Moo3, and Call to Power 2. Yes these are all great games, and I had a blast playing them, (except for Civ III) I hated paying for a game that wasn't playable. So please if this game is not ready, do not release it.
Or be like Stardock. When they make patches, they also add things to the game as well. So I hope this will not be another pay now, but play later game with patch. This is unacceptable to me. It might be what companies do now, but it dosn't make it right. Burn me once, I will not come back and you will not get any money from me. But from what I see, I don't think this will be the case. I havn't really seen anything bad mentioned about you, so I hope this will be a good relationship with you guys.
Also how is the support here? Do the developers come and talk to us? Do they take our ideas seriously? I know you make a game how you would like to play it, but do you take the communities imput as well, for patches or expansion packs? It's nice to see people who work on the games mingling in with the common fold. [:D]
