Too many bugs in Civ 3??

[Alex 14]

Well since no one aswered my ptch thread I'll start with problems in Civ 3: Music glitches, bad chieftain AI & screen glitches all add up to things Firaxis could easily fix, what are they thinking? Hopefully they have already started a patch.

Btw: Avault thought that varied sound volume was a glitch, when Firaxis said it was done on purpose to add variety.

What do you think about the overall performance of Civ 3?

Um... seeing as how like 3 people have the game, think this is a bit premature?

I haven't got the game but can still answer:

As long as they work to remove bugs and patch the game quite frequently the I can handle it -a given being that the game is worth playing.

Operation Flashpoint had loads of bugs as did Hidden&Dangerous but patching clears them up nicely (except for one graphical glitch with heads and helmuts that sometiemes arises...) Hey, even Frontier First Encounters played v.nicely after being patched up a bit...I can still remember PCgamer in its issue AFTER its review issue discussing FFE with pictures of bugs all over -nice.

Players of Everquest etc will know about how we should expect patching with every game we buy as only when released fully to the public do bugs, flaws etc get exploited/discovered fully!

I still have that pc gamer issue. Its the only game I've come across that's had four pages dedicated to discussing how buggy the game is The game played okay with the latest patches, but they could have made more changes from Frontier.

All patches in today's games will get fixed. If a company does not fix them then nobody will ever buy their games again!
