MOO3 finished!

Thought this would be something everyone in here would like to know, even if it's not directly SE4 related . . .

Masters of Orion 3 has gone gold (released to manufacturers to produce copies of the finished product, wrap it up and ship it to stores)!

More info here: Yahoo Press Release and of course on the MOO3 official homepage.

Maybe I should put a warning so noone has a heart attack from playing MOO3 and SE4 at the same time...

Damn, just missed being in the LURK REPORT! But it is great to see it finally has been released!

The moo3 homepage goes nowhere but to the Gone Gold image, which only has a Buy link. What kind of practice is that? They have disabled the rest of the site!

Click the buy link then you can browse the rest of the site.

Agreed, that's pretty screwy.

Good luck with the game guys. I hope it delivers on it's promise and that it was worth the wait.

... holy smeggin' frick!!!

I thought I'd be playing Starfury before this... I was just at the MOO3 forums a few hours ago (and almost got myself Banned, IIRC)... MOO3 here I come!!!

Now if I only had some money... Mom, I know it's not October yet, but can I have my birthday present early?

that antaran wearing gold is just a bit... freaky, though...

hey, I used up my quota of 8 smileys per post exactly! :insert smiley here I ran out: crud!

Hmm, I'll have to buy it when I get some cash. (Couple weeks I get a nice check coming to me.

)

But I have never played any of the MOO games so I have no idea what to expect.

I wouldn't buy it for at least a few months... Think of every other major game release you can recall. Were any of them successful immediately or were there a jillion bugs that had to be corrected before the majority of people could play the game and enjoy it? When you buy the first release of anything you are a beta tester.

Look at the "OT: Do Not Buy Warning" thread just posted here to day about SimCity 4. I bet there will be a similar thread about MOO 3 next month. Summer is likely to be the earliest that a 'non-beta' MOO 3 is available.

I agree baron. i also am waiting for player comments (not rag-mag reviews). With no demo, and all the delays, I choose to be cautious in this one. I try to not spend 50 bucks to beta-test a game. If they want me to beta test their game, then....well, you know (avoids rant).

as to the rag mag reviews, get PC Gamer
they are hard core gamers, and from my experience, they give a very fair and true game critique
