I don't even know anymore.

The general well concieved idea is that the publisher made them rush now? I guess it could make sense, but then again I do not know much about any of it.

We wouldn't need to quarrel over where we stand in this rediculas debate if Firefly would just release some info. They know that **** has hit the fan. Why aren't they trying to clear their name?

Their post reminded me of a school kid getting yelled at in the principle's office.

Unrelated to the game in any major way, I kinda feel bad for them. Although I do not know wether or not they truly did their best on the game, I like to assume that they did. So naturally I feel sympathetic when everyone is critizing the game, calling it awful. Imagine how it would feel to put so much work into something to have it bashed.

I guess critizism is part of their job. They make something, and it is judged. Thats how it should be, and I am glad its that way. I just don't want their name to be tainted because some outside force messed them up. And all of this is *assuming* that they put their share of good work into it.

It's too bad they couldn't find a decent publisher... I would expect a publisher would jump at a chance to snatch a SH sequel. From what I've seen Strategy First usually treats their studios well. Lots of others do too I'm sure.

I hope to see many bugs fixed soon.

FireFly, you have my support, no matter the massive trolling and flaming on forums.

Hello all,

So most of the criticism of the game, I can understand but why does not it objectively?

You can post any objective criticism here in the forum.
I can not even start my game to date but still should not be too much annoyed.

And I've been looking forward to the crazy game for an long Time !

Let the developers try to improve Stronghold 3 and have a little patience

patience is a virtue.

People are very protective of their money, for obvious reasons. I know that I, for one, don't really have enough money to get more than a couple games in the beginning and end of the year. That's 4 games total for the entire year. So when a hugely anticipated game comes out (like this one ), and it turns out to be a flop, it's extremely disappointing to me that it won't really be playable for a while, depending on how consistent they are with patches.

Thankfully I have enough self-control not to lash out at everyone over it. We're all fans. We all want this game to be great, and in the future we'll see how much they fix, and how much they add. But to be honest, I can understand why so many people are upset, especially if they're in my situation. There are sooo many guaranteed good games coming out (Skyrim, MW3, BF3, Gears 3, Dark Souls, Assassins Creed: Revelations, etc). If I spent one of my four games on SH3, I've wasted my game choice, for now at least. The game is honestly unplayable for me, I'm sorry. And I don't know when it'll get to a point where I can enjoy it, even if I can play it.

People are just very unforgiving over their games. They're paying for a product with expectations and when those expectations aren't met they get ****ed off, rightfully. But that doesn't mean it's their right to say FF should crash and burn, or lash out at people for being 'fanboys'.

IF you had listened. You wouldnt have released such a piece of garbage. FIRST, your retarded attempt to combine the Age of Empires wall building system with Stronghold 2 (not even Stronghold 1) failed. And that is pretty much all you did here. Stronghold 1 still trumps all of its predecessors so bad its not even funny. What in the world are you doing at Firefly? Did you put a bunch of retarded monkeys into a room with different games and say to them," We will release whatever you manage to smash together."? This is absolutely terrible. I have waited so excitedly, as im sure hundreds of others have as well, only to be given a game whose military units' A.I. is worse than that Age of Empires I, and even contains a stolen copy of their wall building system; which I hated A.o.E for anyway. I really want the money I wasted on this product. And It would be nice if you never released an unfinished product again, not to mention it was more than just another product it was "supposed to be" the best STRONGHOLD yet. Guess I'm forced to settle for Skyrim. bleh

I understand what your saying, sorta. Atleast your complaining about GAMEPLAY issues, and not bugs. I respect that.

Don't bash them over the walls. You can't say they ripped of walls from AOE 3 because that would be like saying they ripped off the walls from Aoe 1 in Stronghold 1. Its just a new method, a revolution in design, I guess. Or not.

The castle keep looks preety bad in the free play mode, So maybe the keep could improve with the honor that you have in game, and also only 2 free play maps is not really much. Sometimes Stone and iron mine workers are bugged beneath the wooden platform of the mine and will not work .Plus in stronghold 2 there was a button for catastrophies and sieges (that was F10 i think) and there is no such thing in Stronghold 3 .And in the economical campaign when you have to raise gold for the relic somehow when i sell stuff in the market it doesnt record it . And there is no such buildings as The lords kitchen courthouse bedroom. And also in Stronghold 2 there was something as path of war when you siege or defend castles on a path amd there is no such thing as that in Stronghold 3. Also it would been nice if we could see how the keep looks from inside and the lord would take care of civil matters as he was in Stronghold 2 (such as going to the church , feasting etc)
Also it would be nice if there was a special wall tool because connecting Towers with gates is really a pain .

In the map designer for SH3, when editing the scenario there is an option for `Random Events` - which one would assume could be invasions (although these can be set to happen on specific days) or `other` stuff - but as we don`t know what has actually made it into the game and what hasn`t, whats been crippled and what was dropped, then we can`t possibly imagine how deep this game could potentially go - I am still optimistic that in 6 months or so we will have a cracking game - and lets just hope the bad taste in our mouths that reminds us of this Beta version is just a distant memory.
