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

also railroad the game which the most should be a sandbox.

I think the first expansion pack is not so great, the points collectathon is distracting and "gamey".

Natural disasters?

No, the ages. You need to do certain things (from recruiting a great person to killing X units) to collect points necessary to reach a normal or golden age. Some of it happened naturally, but like the heurkas from the base game, it's often gamey or checking boxes.

This sounds like Colonization's system. It worked pretty well for that game, though it's inherently streamlined for the purpose of one objective (breaking free of liege).

If I get the expacs I'll expound some thoughts here and y'all can apply cuck ratings accordingly.

 

[Gerrard]

Anyone have opinions on Civ6 with the expacs? I dropped 25-30hrs on the game at release but left with a bad taste. Civ4 wasn't good at release either, but the foundation was there for stuff like BtS; dunno if the foundation in Civ6 can be salvaged by comparison ... I'm just itching for a civ-like.

The expansions are 120% jew shit, together, on release, they cost more than the base game. There's no way they are worth the price. The """platinum""" version of the game is 120€, and even at 66% off it's still 75% too expensive.

 

[Modron]

Yeah waiting for 75% off a price reduced platinum version, or 85% off current prices before I would even debate purchasing the game.

Civ 6 plus expansions is about the same amount of content as IV had on launch.

It's konsoletarded.

$40 bucks? So Civ6 is a service game now? Hello Old World.

 

[flyingjohn]

How about better ai? Oh wait,that would require effort.

How about adding late game mechanics in order to help the late game boredom? Oh wait,that would require actual game design and not just adding stuff randomly.

How about a actual balance patch? Oh wait,that would require the devs to actually play the game competently.

How about releasing the dll for the modders? Oh wait,that would require the devs actually giving a damn about modding.

But here we have a 40 bucks season pass with content that modders have done better and for free.

WTF is this? Paradox's Civilization VI?

 

[GarfunkeL]

Firaxis is dead. I said it back when Civ5 came out and I was right.

 

[Kalin]

More like Civ3.

 

[Cael]

Just ignore this shit and keep playing Civ4.

 

[taxalot]

$40 bucks? So Civ6 is a service game now? Hello Old World.

It has been since Civ 2.

 

[Fedora Master]

Can't wait for inevitable female ruler nobody asked for leading a civilization nobody asked for with mechanics that amount to more bucket-filling.

 

[flyingjohn]

Can't wait for inevitable female ruler nobody asked for leading a civilization nobody asked for with mechanics that amount to more bucket-filling.

And make the female ruler one of the most hated or useless female rulers of said country.
Example:Korea and Netherlands.

 

[RuySan]

And make the female ruler one of the most hated or useless female rulers of said country.
Example:Korea and Netherlands.

They already did it with Portugal in civ5. On her biography in-game her "achievements" are fleeing to Brazil when Napoleon invaded and occupied Portugal, and witnessing the independence of Brazil. At least they didn't pretend she was a great ruler

[Citizen]

Maya who?

 

[Storyfag]

Maya haa!

 

[Nito]

Maya who?

Maya inclination is to skip this game, because the art-style looks like a phone game.

 

[Tigranes]

And make the female ruler one of the most hated or useless female rulers of said country.
Example:Korea and Netherlands.

Queen Seondeok (Korea) is actually a famous, widely liked historical figure that most Koreans will know. She is usually cited as a typical "benevolent ruler", features in plenty of historical dramas. They didn't really dig for some super obscure figure.

Now, she wouldn't make it to any "top 5 most spectacular / impactful leaders in history", so it's not like she's Queen Victoria. I think they also made some factual errors in her description, but I don't know, I'm still playing Civ 4

 

[Lone Wolf]

Sounds to me like they were working on a new expansion for Civ VI, went 'shit, we can't get this fucking thing out before the end of the year, we need dollah dollah bills y'all' and decided to nickel and dime this shit, instead.

It really sounds like one expansion sliced into smaller DLCs:

8 new civs (8 in Gathering Storm)
6 'game modes' (2 scenarios in GS)
Undefined number of new 'resources, buildings, districts, wonders' (9 buildings, 5 districts, 7 wonders in GS)

AND, they get to shovel this shit out without any new mechanics. Lovely jubbly.

 

[flyingjohn]

They were too lazy to even create new animations:

Even the models look almost the same,hahahhaah.

 

[Fedora Master]

Cramming in women wasn't enough, they also have to be fat now.

 

[Gerrard]

They were too lazy to even create new animations:

Even the models look almost the same,hahahhaah.

Of course they do, with those deformend models they wouldn't be able to reuse the animations if the skeleton wasn't similar.
