Civilization VI - Now available, so you can sink all your free time into it

[Fry]

Firaxis is basically making modding platforms at this point. They toss out a basic game and let the community fix it.

Yeah this is looking like I'm gonna pass on this one. Civ V fans are bitching about how terrible the AI is and I can't even bring myself to play Civ V because the AI is so broken (I still remember my first Immortal game in Civ V. AI declares war on me, moves three Swordsmen into my territory, shuffles them about randomly while my city picks them off, once they're all dead offers me three of his cities in a peace deal). No Civ game has ever had particularly stellar AI but they're just getting worse and worse with every iteration. I kinda wonder if Firaxis was bought out by Smirnoff or something because BE's AI seemingly only had one purpose and that was to drive the player to drink. And now Civ VI's is apparently even worse. What is this I don't even.

Why does every leader in Civ VI look so ugly?

Gorgo is a tranny

Trajan has heroine issues

Gandhi has Stewie Griffin head weirdness

Catherine De Medici is so ugly that even a Pig would refuse to deal with her

Qin Shi huang look like the Spider lady of Baldur's Gate


So yeah, they look ugly.

Spain, Norway and Japan leaders look cool, tho.

Why no Persian leader

Comes time comes DLC.

[vonAchdorf]

Still embargoed? Also did you really plan to buy it for like real monies? :D

 

[an Administrator]

Maybe because we are not connected to kwan banks. (No paypal, visacard or any similar way to pay)

 

[vonAchdorf]

That's why Obama had to drop the 1.5 billion in cash

 

[Fry]

Don't worry. According to Trump, you're now the most powerful country in the world.

They feature Saladin, probably they think Persia is second rate for Arab civ

 

[an Administrator]

Saladin was in previous Civ games too

 

[Mazisky]

Saladin was in previous Civ games too

Cyrus the Great would be really nice to have

 

[Infinitum]

So the joke is that none of those are arabic, right? Right?

93/100 from PC Gamer

IGN review in progress - very positive

 

[vonAchdorf]

They made the whole soundtrack available on Youtube,



and also a live performance of the theme song.

[MadMaxHellfire]

it works, but only because some kind of music, some constructs, always work.
pretty banal.

dammit, did i just hear superman theme around 2:20?

edit: i'll tell you, it's rather annoying and too much loud to be a menu theme. i heard it once and i know i don't want to hear it anymore.

 

[St Antony of Padua]

Anyone playing this now? It released in some parts of the world already.

 

[Mr. Pink]

how is civilization farmville edition? I don't trust game reviews.

You can try it out for yourself if you can spare 6GB worth of download time. *ahem*

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

i gave a try to the extended demo.
horrible interface, nothing is clear, lots of tiny tooltips which explain very little, lots of tiny icons which make little sense, no scrolling when pointer hits screen sides, graphics give a very "fallen enchantress" vibe whose graphics were its weakest aspect, 2nd turn with a dozen players took as long as a civ4 "a new dawn" with 30 but during medieval age (which is the main reason i couldn't stand past the first researched tech), civs introductory movies must be skipped with esc, retarded ai that you already knew, all the new systems have no real interaction, they're just separate mini-tech-trees with boni and all they do is just add confusion.
also i just can't stand playing any civ without an earth map with true starting locations.

why is FYROM black? Does it have anything to do with
WE
WUZ
ANTIGONIDS
?

 

[anus_pounder]

Stupid question, where is that black spot to the right of Italy on the release map and why is blacklisted?

 

[Bubbles]

That looks like Kosovo, not Macedonia.
