[quote]There does exist an intersect of people who (a) are Stardock fans, (b ) are dissatisfied with the launch state of Elemental in some form or another, and (c) want or expect Elemental to become the better game it can be. Don't dismiss them.[/quote] This. I love the previous works Stardock have made (even though, yes, there were bugs and various problems at all launches) but GalCiv 1 & 2 were fantastic out of the box and only got better. Elemental, on the other hand -

A shame, but unsurprising given the state of Beta 4. Still, Stardock have never disappointed with their dedication to patches and updates. I have no doubt that Elemental is going to shape up to be a fantastic game (especially if future expansions add content of the same quality as the GalCiv2 expansions) - but this will certainly have a detrimental effect on review scores.

That has to be the greatest title for a game ever Close, but "Holy Invasion Of Privacy, Badman! What Did I Do To Deserve This?" still takes that particular title in my opinion. :-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Invasion_Of_Privacy,_Badman!_What_Did_I_Do_To_Deserve_This%3F

Pre-ordered. Felt that the updated GalCiv was what Master of Orion 3 *should* have been, so I have every confidence that Stardock will create another product that not only captures what made Master of Magic so great, but build upon it in their own unique way. Putting my money where my confidence is. :) Keen to see what happens regarding Wardell's plans for custom content - with any luck this'll be a title that I can play for years to come.
