Yes, it's worth buying. You'll lose your life as you know it. The cost factor is nuts as the countless hours playing the game make the game a steal.

Too true!

rjopel -> RE: Is this game worth the price (9/13/2013 6:21:48 PM)
WORTH EVERY PENNY EVER SPENT and that includes money spent on books about the conflict I've bought, printing the big map, the sleepless nights and everything else.

Schanilec -> RE: Is this game worth the price (9/13/2013 7:04:02 PM)
To give you some idea of time spent. My current game was started on 30 November 2010. Current turn is 25 July 1944. And loving every minute of it...well most every minute.[:)]

quote: ORIGINAL: GreyJoy Also WITPAE is, hands down, the best cure against Onanism and sex addiction syndrome... once you play it enough you won't need anything else to answer to your biological stimolus ... and you won't even care when your girlfriend leaves you for a regular guy who plays World of Warcraft, or Grand Theft Auto. You have a career in advertising, Greyjoy! Seriously, just skim through the forum, read bits of the AAR, and see how so many of us play the game every day, and write about it, and complain about it, and still keep on playing. If you could make sense of WITE, you will be fine with the learning curve, and the game will be a bargain. Francois

SuluSea -> RE: Is this game worth the price (9/13/2013 9:27:54 PM)
Most definately worth the price. [:)]

Feltan -> RE: Is this game worth the price (9/13/2013 10:14:20 PM)
I have had a PBEM going from the original WITP for over six years now. It is Feb '45 in game, and as Japan I am still hanging tough. Best game out there. Regards, Feltan

Terminus -> RE: Is this game worth the price (9/14/2013 12:21:29 AM)
Actually, AE is easier to learn that WITE, because there's no futzing around with "Air Doctrine" and "Air Base Units" and other nonsense.

topeverest -> RE: Is this game worth the price (9/14/2013 1:07:38 AM)
Better find your nearest AE Anonymous chapter before buying. I have been going faithfully for the last seven years. Its the only reason I have any of my brain left to do other things.

Oh so true.... As a "plank holder" who got his copy of WITP at Origins in 2005, it has been without question the one game I have spent the most hours on and enjoyed the most. True I went from WitP to AE, but it is not just a game, but a game with soul. Soul derived from the forum and PBEM give this game a life like no other. My PBEMs in UV, WitP and AE have been without match in any other game (AGEOD's AACW/ is a close second) quote: ORIGINAL: Lokasenna quote: ORIGINAL: topeverest Better find your nearest AE Anonymous chapter before buying.

No. The AE Analysis Group are the ones that are still in denial and cannot get past the first step. The Analysis group's motto is 'I'm not an addict, I'm analysing' [:D]. But I can easily see how people can confuse the two [:)]

Actually its dirt cheap. Seriously, this game is worth every buck you pay.

Barb -> RE: Is this game worth the price (9/14/2013 6:02:38 PM)
This game is worth every penny, pence, �cent, $cent, yen or whatever ... In terms of cost per time ratio, I think it is almost for free [:D] I've been around here since Uncommon Valor days and I am still here. How many years that is?

Symon -> RE: Is this game worth the price (9/14/2013 6:18:07 PM)
Yes. The game can be a simple computer wargame and is well worth the price at that level. The game can also be a tool when used appropriately. In that sense it is priceless. Ciao JWE

Maximeba -> RE: Is this game worth the price (9/14/2013 10:53:33 PM)
OK, I got it. My buddy and I will buy the game and lose the current life we know.

gregplatt52 -> RE: Is this game worth the price (9/15/2013 3:20:04 AM)
Once you go WITP AE, you'll never go back.

The game has saved me money so it was an actual budget gain. I stopped buying other games..... Roger

My first and only trip to Origins. Ran in, bought 5 copies, ran home to express ship out 4 of them before work :)

nashvillen -> RE: Is this game worth the price (9/17/2013 6:11:27 PM)
I got my copy of WitP at Origins 2005 also. A very nice guy named Mogami talked with me for 1/2 an hour about how it improved the DOS based "Pacific War". I looked at it for maybe 10 min there and bought it. Haven't looked back. Thanks to rjopel, he introduced me to WitP:AE later at another later Origins, and when I got home, ordered it since Matrix wasn't there that time. It is truly the best money you can spend on gaming. You won't be spending any more on games, but research material, that is another story... [8D]

Thanks, Wes I'm fairly new to WITPAE after having played the old DOS version, PACWAR and the Matrix Edition, for many years. If you have the time to invest, this is the most in-depth wargame, I think, you will ever find. It is incredibly detailed and comprehensive. Worth every penny and more.
