Why do you spit in our faces, Infogrames?

Hoek · December 7, 2001, 05:42

Here is a a little experiment. My other thread that was similarly titled got a response from Dan from Firaxis. While he didn't answer alot of my questions, at least he responded, and I give him props for that. Now lets see if Infogrames is willing to brave a response to why serious concerns about the editor and multiplayer and a host of other issues (the cease and desist order, the designer's notes fiasco, etc.) are never being replied to while we are being led to believe that modification is acceptable, that a scenario-making capability will eventually appear, and that designer's notes will be included in the LE. Both Infogrames and Firaxis need to do alot more to get back the favor of veterans, and Firaxis is at least doing SOMEthing while Infogrames has remained silent. Now let's see if they ever reply?

I understand how you feel.
I too miss the multiplayer with civ III.
But the Editor sounds very cool, haven't tried it out yet.
I'm not so good editor but I have noticed that I want to change some things in the game so I would enjoy it more.
One thing I really miss are real scenario's like in Civ 2.
Also the starting places are missing in the editor with is very needed. But some people worked together and found a solution for it.

I think you just have to wait for some big changes.

There is so much good scenario-making potential in Civ 3 that the Civ 3 team failed to capitalize upon. I just can't wait to make a Civ 3 scenario, but I have no idea if I ever will be able to.

Peets · December 7, 2001, 06:09

Yeah,

When I first loaded Civ 3 is read "scenario" and I thought "YES!" but wondered how you opened a map to play a world map. But first I was going to play a normal game to learn some new things (resource and stuff)
Then I came back to here to read some stuff and noticed that there are No scenario's and you can't put starting locations with the civ you want.
I was dissapointed.

Although, the resource thing, Awesome!

Well, that's the main reason that I haven't bought it yet.

Dont expect a reply from infogreed. They dont actually believe in PR.

Unless its a C&D notice

Hoek · December 7, 2001, 08:38

Skanky: I know. That's the point of this thread. Read my parallel "Why are you spitting in our faces, Firaxis?" thread to get the full picture.

No!
They aren't willing to replay here or anywhere, they don't care about customers, they care about $$$
that's all

docken · December 7, 2001, 09:12

A reply from Infogrames?

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hell will freeze over first.

docken · December 7, 2001, 09:17

In fact I would like to see this thread at the top for as long as possible- just because I like the title

Hoek · December 7, 2001, 09:41

let's pledge to keep bumping this thread just to embarass infogrames

Hoek: I know. I did.

Was just taking the opportunity of commenting about infogreed in a rude and detrimental manner. That it was the truth was icing on the cake

And of course, it (and this post) can be considered
*Bump*s

Skanky Burns · December 8, 2001, 03:22

*Achoo*

The only reason Infogrames publish a decent box for the game is because it would give them money from advertising, maybee they will reply here if we all send them an e-mail and keep anoying them until they do.

Trifna · December 8, 2001, 03:35

Infogrames isn't even reading. What they do is to make so that Civ III is profitable (monetary speaking). Nothing more.
