Chittering Clawbug Stormlord Windspire Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Should I buy GF3 or wait for GF4??? P.S.I voted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 If you like G3, buy G3. If you don't like G3, don't buy G3. If you like G4 when it comes out, buy G4. If you don't like G4 when it comes out, don't buy G4. It's as simple as that. Come up with a compelling scenario (either serious or absurd) as to why the decision absolutely must come down to one or the other and then Dikiyoba will choose one or the other.

Well-Actually War Trall Dolphin Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 If you have already voted it seems you've made a decision without needing a poll. Try the demo, and if you like it buy it, if not don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chittering Clawbug Khyryk Eye Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 How about buy Geneforge 3, finish it, and wait for Geneforge 4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 According to Jeff you've got about a 6 month wait until GF4 is ready. It will be longer for Windows users. It depends upon what you want to do until it's available. You can always download the demo to GF3 and then decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Zeviz Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 If you haven't tried the demo, try it. That's what it's for. If you have tried the demo and are still unsure, chances are you will not like the rest of the game either. If you already made up your mind, what was the point of the poll? (Aside from letting several people increase our postcounts.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unflappable Drayk MagmaDragoon Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Trust me, GF3 is a good game. You have to buy it. GF4 is a "continue" of GF3, I think. In gf4 will be a war, in GF3 you will know why. So, buy GF3 before GF4 (that will come on 25th December). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff just said that he thought he could have it ready to go around Christmas time, not that that was exactly when G4 would be out. Perhaps it may even come out a little before then. Dikiyoba.

Well-Actually War Trall Micawber Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 In my view, one should always buy all of Jeff's games, as soon as they are released. Personally, I love the Geneforge games to point of compulsion. Must.. turn.. all.. zones.. Green. [Edit: if A4 had a similar feature, I believe I would like it even more.] You will play through Geneforge 3 at least twice, so on a $/hr basis I think that makes it pretty good value anyway.

Unflappable Drayk MagmaDragoon Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Micawber, your point is exactly like mine. I don't appreciate the Avernum Series because there aren't zones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I also like the GF zone structure, because it helps you budget your playing time: I'll just do one zone. Also for the opposite reason: I'll just do one more zone. One thing I both like and dislike about G3 is that its world map is broken up into different islands, so you don't get to see the whole thing at once and guess where the zones will go. It was frustrating on the first two islands not to be able to see anything of Dhonal's Isle, but on the other hand this 'super-zone' effect did really motivate me to get to the next map, to see the next island. I have been wondering how G4 (or G5 or whatever) might handle a large city. Perhaps something a bit like the A1-3 towns would actually do the trick: an area in the game map is blocked off, and if you enter it then you move to a new map, kind of the way you do in G3 when you sail to a new island. But this new map represents a single city, and might contain quite a few zones. Ehh, it's probably not necessary to do it that way. You could make a big city the same way as in G3, just by packing a lot of zones close together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Zeviz Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Quote: Originally written by Stormlord Windspire:I just wanted to know others opinions.......sheesh Sorry if my post sounded overly aggressive. I guess some of the points were already said by too many others before me, so repeating them sounded like harping on the issue. Quote: Originally written by Micawber:...

Although I guess you might be right: http://www.ironycentral.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=19;t=000447 (The poll was posted in Gf3 forum, so the sample was self-selected, but it seems that most people did play it more than once.)
