X3 anyone?
« on: November 03, 2005, 12:05:56 pm »
I've been keeping one eye on this game for a while and with it already out in Europe and slowly rolling in here in the States, I was hoping to get some impressions on it.  From what I've heard so far, those who like it say that it's a diamond in the rough.  Thoughts?

X2 had some serious flaws that put me off, i may give it another chance tho as the idea was good.

I tried X2 and seriously didn't like it.  It would take some sort of miracle for me to try X3.

Meh, I'm starting to agree.  The more I read, the less confident I am in purchasing it.  Guess I'll go with Civ IV instead.

That would be a safe bet, Sid Mier has had a pretty good Track record.

You want to know something, Stephen?  You're absolutely right.  Plus, Civ IV has Leonard Nimoy narrating.
