Give it a rest, man!

 

We get it, the game has issues right now.

 

I don't know whats worse, the fact that I have a hangover at work from playing SimCity until 3:30 AM last night, or the fact that I'm reading this dribble.

Shameless self-promotion with no tangible product or anything to give backing to your claims?

This is just an "idea."  LOL anyone can come up with that.

 

"<XYZ GAME HERE> did such and such wrong... we're going to do it right and better and give you more more more.  But you need to give us money first."

 

Poor form.  Extremely. Poor.  Form.

    That can be a good way use for your money, if you´re angry with EA.

    IGN made a post about it

    Maybe we have a chance.

     

    And other choices!

     

    yes..there´s CiM2 in the door, some rummors about Tropico 5 and even a new anno. Ok, they arent "REALLY" city building games..but still...

    Before I give $25.00 I would like to see more of what they have so far. They should put up a site with some development screenshots and info about what's under the hood to run this beast. I don't mean to sound skeptical (I truly want to believe) but the developers must understand that this community has had more than it's share of broken and empty promises by 3 different companies. One spoke the same proposal minus the "back us before the next few weeks" and another has just shocked us all with what they just put out. Remember Monte Cristo's promise when they announced their "community based project"? I hope they have a good foundation for what they say it will be capable of so far because this niche of gamers has been raped and pillaged multiple times and probably needs therapy. I want to back them but I want to see more.

    Have you checked out the Terraforming video? I backed this project after seeing that.

    I will keep an eye on this. I have donated to a few kickstarters and haven't felt ripped off with a final product yet. Thanks for posting!

    I am pretty sure that IGN was recently subject to a hostile takeover and forced to cancel their IPL (an electronic sporting event in Las Vegas). Are you sure that IGN is reliable these days?

    Ocram's Razor: Though "more things shouldn't be used than are necessary," they're just too fun to pass up! Expect many verbose arguments from me. I will try to write abstracts before or short summaries after from now on.

    Words to live by:
    "Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit... But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually..." 1 Corinthians 4-11

    "Do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34
    "Do not judge so that you will not be judged. For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you." Matthew 7:1-3

    Path of Exile is proof that crowdsourced alternatives can turn out extremely well. At the same time, thus far Civitas is just some screenshots of wildly out of scale models next to a road and a concept video of terrain painting "done at 4 am". There's not even a website or list of these former developers so we can know what they've worked on in the past, and they have a planned release of November 2013. There'll have to be a lot, lot more revealed before I'd drop a dime.
