I have enjoyed VV3, I love the story line. But i am more
attached to my VV2 villagers. I still care if my VV2 tribes
are doing well. But with VV3 i find it a pain in the butt
if i open the game and see 6 teenagers wandering around.
It does take longer for them to be trained. Even with the
chief teaching them .

I love all LDW VV games as they all bring different things to the mix. Each is played for it own value, and each are left running after completion so I can check on my villagers every few days to check all is well.

Yes some bits of each one can be annoying but that is part of the game play. This is after all a casual game, not a fast paced shoot-em up game or something similar.

But conversely I have bought games that I too have been disappointed with but in my opinion it's my own fault for not checking the game out first not the programmers.

I have played all three games a milllllllion times, and I love them all. For me there is Endless replay value.

I bought VV3 as soon as it came out because I trusted that I'd love it just like the last two and I was right! I loved it!

I think VV3 is my favourite (but not by much, they are all on a par really), just for the extras that have been brought in like the chief, the new scenery, the orchard trees that you plant yourself, the new sounds the people make and their new looks.

I don't see how the original poster was so disappointed (and compelled to comment on this forum about it!), if they've played the other two games. Surely they knew what was coming? Maybe they were hoping that this new villagers game Was a shoot em up after all...

The games are SUPPOSED to take a long time! What would be the point of plonking a scientist at the table, giving him one second and then Boom you have enough points to do everything around the village. That is what I would call no replay value.

I was not disappointed one bit with the new game, and long may it continue with even more new extras, secrets and tricks to discover!
