Bug ugly

from GalCiv3 Forums

Just went back and played GC2 after a long hiatus. Man, is it ugly compared to 3. In fact, I found I could barely go back to it. Everything looks so coarse. Even the UI is not so good and it's harder to physically see/find the info you want. The tech tree is ugly. Even the fonts are harder to read. And there are annoyances like the constant snapping-back to your colony (maybe you can change that though I don't know).

So many strides have been made in the new design, e.g. idle colony and shipyard messages (these weren't reported in 2).

But there are some things from 2 I would like to see implemented in 3, such as the Quarterly Report and the Galactic News. They were really interesting and immersive (and useful).

Just think how good and polished 3 is going to be in a year's time after an expansion or two has come out! :)

Yes I miss Galactic news casts too.

It's true everyone says GalCiv3 looks like GalCiv2, until they go back and play GalCiv2 again and realize how much has been improved looks wise.

But it is also the truth that many things are to be doe yet and many are done quite poorly, so there is much room for improvement.
