Moo3

You going to get it?

still need to install it. Rocks installed it but I think he needs the guide for it.

he never played MOO2

I have it, but haven't played it. I'm wading through the novel sized instruction book, as I've never played MOO2.

Instructions!?! HAH!

Actually I remember Moo2...I tried playing the thing and lasted about 2 minutes before I was digging for the manual.

bought the guide today..

'scuze me? Whats MOO3?

for my Cana-nada-ian friend I will give him the info.

MOO is short for Masters Of Orion. It's a epic turn based space based mega uber conquest game. For the most part it a huge thinking game.

The third installment of the game came out on Tuesday.

I spoze we have to buy this?

Edit..
of course it is, why else would people "pick this up"
what the hell was I thinking?

I just got it today. The interface isn't anything to write home about, but the depth and breadth of the game is astounding.

BTW, I think you need to get some air in those tires.

I will be passing on the newest edition of the master of orion, too much mico-managment for my taste. I like my games faced paced and dumbed down. :)

Must be a California truck. With all the pot-holes in NY that thing wouldn't stand a chance out here.

I'm with Bribo, thing would never last in PA either.... :D

Hey Bribo, I never see any good pictures of me anymore, what's up with that????

Roll over and I'll rub your belly.

Has anyone tried it online yet?

I'd be interested in trying it tomorrow.

Shoot, I can't see thing you posted Bribo.... :(

Me Too! Tomorrow will rock!

I'll be suffering along at the in-laws this weekend. Pray for me. :( :( :(

ROFL... :D
hehe, I don't know where you get them, but they sure give me a laugh!! lol

Boy, this sounds a lot like a pen and paper tunr based game I used to play back in college (we called it Starfire) which. Same basic idea - create a space empire.

Early review here: http://gamespot.com/gamespot/stories...911822,00.html

Anyone up for a match this week?

After playing this game single player a few times, I've come to the conclusion that while the scope and concept is certainly impressive, actually playing the game isn't much fun. It moves too slowly to be interesting at a high level, and there really isn't much to do (besides fighting with the AI as to what ships to build) at the low level. The combat engine is setup for large battles and for small encounters you spend most of your time trying to figure out where your ships are. On the plus side it seems to be very stable, not buggy at all.

Anyone else have comments?

I'd be interested in giving it a go multiplayer, maybe Wednesday?

TechTV's review gave it the lowest possible rating on their scale....

After messing around with it for the past week and a half I am sort of let down. MOO2 was such a milestone in the epic space game area. That is still hold a warmer spot in my heart then MOO3

Another example is Heroes of Might and Magic III, that was such a amazing game. And when HOMM IV came out, it was such a let down.

Oh well. There's always Doom III

Wow, I'm starting to learn how to play and now my motovation is gone. I sound like I should use the CD for coaster now.. Anyway, off to IGI 2.
