So I was just reading GS's news story for CivWorld and I am not sure whether I am supposed to be excited or not. Due to my previous addictions to Farmville, Frontierville and Restaurant City, I am a bit nervous for my academics and my already being easily prone to heavy procrastination, but my apprehensions, surprisingly, extend beyond my concern of 'addiction'.
The real question is, although admittedly this version is in testing stage, shouldn't developers be focussing on ironing out gameplay "problems" in Civ V before they jump into promoting/launching this version? I know this point seems a bit moot -- I mean people will always find fault with something which is not necessarily due to 'dodgy development' -- it does seem, however, that with Civ V still being relatively 'new' that it is a bit too soon to be launching a 'new version' whilst there are still some pressing problems with this current version. I do acknowledge that the latest patch was excellent though!
The way I see it is as long and the game developers keep consistently improving and listening to Civ V players [with decent patch fixes], my academic productivity remains fruitful [or just as unfruitful as before] and perhaps most importantly, I still manage to have a positive experience of Civ V, I'm not really going to complain...
Perhaps it's time to see if I can get a team together?
