It will certainly be fun, but what I do not like is that you get a game, you pay for it, you see it's incomplete, and you need to wait for expansions which you'll also have to pay for, in order to make the game complete. This is a big money sink which Akella decided to make by copying Blizzard. Problem is that Blizzard always gives content when they make the money sink. A clear example is Starcraft 2 - the initial game has only the Terran campaign in it. However, to compensate for this it has various AI levels for all races, wondrous multiplayer, a lot of maps and a map editor. I would feel ok if Dcp3 had the lots of maps and the editor part of the upper sentence, but it doesn't...

When a person buys a game he/she always wants a complete product that is well worth the money. It is such simple tricks to make money that tick me off and this is why my opinion of this game is so low.

I feel I should also point out that the Terran Campaign is also the size of all the campaigns combined in the previous starcraft (in play time at least).

I have been sitting on the fence on Disciple 3 as I loved the first two versions. Sounds like I should wait a little longer. Eventually I will get it as I and II were a lot of fun and they were very good about adding content along with the fans.

Lower price and no cd will come later.

Buy it don't wait, if you don't want any troubles get the Steam version as it has some extra maps and is very stable, I myself have the UK version and it didn't give me any problems at all.

Ignoring the debate about whether D3 is good or not, that's some poor advice. I've been looking into Disciples 3's price within the UK, and I can get the game for £18 as opposed to £30 from Steam. 3 maps do not equal an extra £12.

I already bought 3 games this month and Crossworlds and Civ5 are next month. So no need to jump on D3 right now. I still have many maps to play on D2.

In a few months I will have played enough of the new games and will be looking for something. By then D3 may have gotten another patch and possibly can be found on sale.

If I got it now, I would have to put down one of my current games, so no need to rush into it.
