    I Got The Game.

    Hey guys, Just got Civ Rev the full game. I wish I was at home instead of being at work. Anyone else got the full game yet?

    Congrats on getting it early.......but shouldn't you be in the toilets now rehearsing your imminent collapse at work, and journey back home?

    What on earth are you thinking man!

    UPDATED (Earth shattering news) : Postman has been around but no sign of Civ Rev

    Where did you preorder from? If play.com then you are fooked!

    I always preorder games from gameplay.co.uk because I always (well, let's say 90%) receive games a day before the release day.

    Why? I know for a fact that Play were dispatching the game yesterday, in order to allow three days for delivery.

  12. Both Game and Play.com deliver it on the day of release, and rarely on the day before, but not more before the day.

    The "problem" is that a lot of plays stuff (if not all?) is shipped from jersey to avoid tax.

    Most of the time it works out fine, but a small hickup can lead to a delay. Nothin major, but when it does happen its a bit of a let down.

    Same with DVDs from amazon - they use amigo fish or something to reduce the amount of tax they pay - but with them preorders come from the mainlan so its not a problem.

    Well, good for you - I have had bad experience with play.com - I'll never preorder from them again.

    Every title that I've pre-ordered from Game has arrived the day before the official release date.

    For a time I did use shopto.net and I got a few of those orders two days early (the Wednesday) as they post using recorded delivery. The problem being that if you're out at the time of delivery you've got to drive to the sorting office to pick it up. I don't know whether shopto still post early, I've not seen anyone on my friends list playing a title before me in a long time.

    Thumbs down

    you guy's jinxed me lmao
    As soon as i said i aint ever had any problems with play.com it came through telling me that my order had been canceled because my card was declined , now admitedly it wos my fault for not updating my new card details but still that is the first time ever i hav had any sort of problem
    That is the last time i ever talk to you people about deliveries

    But luckily it will still be with me with-in 24 hours
    That is wot i like about play.com the most 24 hour deliviery

  21. Guys, i'd highly advise you to switch to game.co.uk. IF you get a Game Card (I believe it's £3 for it), you can start saving a a couple pounds on every game. Last year I had about a £10 saved over a couple years of buying one game, I've bought a few games this year, and already have £5, and after these two games (Civ Rev and MGS4) I should yet again have £10 on the card which I can spend on a game (takes that much off the total price). So essentially for me Civ Rev has been about £28 compared to the £30 usual. You may think that's not much, but get 15 games, then the 16th is free... that's not a bad deal

    Double points with preordering as well

    I buy from play or game which ever is cheaper. sometimes game have really stupid prices compared to play so it puts me off. But one thing I like doing at game is going with a friend to game whos buying a new console and giving them my reward card it gets me loads of points. Another good thing about game is student discount which I am about to lose as this is my last month of uni.

    Ugh, I just called my local GAME store here in Sweden and they say they don't get it till June 20:th. WTF!!??? After that I checked all swedish webstores to see if any of them get them on June 13 but no. I'm screwed!!
    Guess it's back to the demo then. I've already spent like 20 hours on it. I hate my life right now. My whole weekend is ruined.

    Some Q's for people who have the game;

    1. How is multiplayer online on ps3? (not working like in the demo?)
    2. The demo map was really small, are there any bigger maps in the game?
    3. Can you chooe the map size the same way like in Civ4?
    4. When a game ends (2050) can you decide to play further like in Civ4 or do you have to start a new game?

    1) I own Xbox 360 version so I'd not know.
    2) Same size but honestly it is big enough for CivRev.
    3) No. But if you chose GIGANTIC map, I'm sure PS3 or Xbox 360 could not handle it. Would need huge RAM for that.
    4) Dunno - I asked that question but no one answers it yet
