heralded like the best thing since sliced bread, plagued by utterly retarded design decisions. irredeemable.

Civilization VII - coming February 11th
- Thread starter Axioms
- Start date
It ended up being a pretty generic Civilization-like game. Food grows everything, science unlocks everything, production builds evertything. Explore, expand, run out of stuff to explore and space to expand, get into conflicts.
The unique part was supposed to be the the cultural shift per era, but it happens too sharp, and its too disconnected, and it doesn't feel like progressing. Feels like rebooting. Civ7 is trying this exact same thing, hopefully to better result.
Humankind isn't even bad, it just lacks that je ne sais quoi, one-more-turn energy. I didn't hard quit it, I just closed the game thinking I'll continue tomorrow, and haven't played for years.
Its less polished than Civilization games, and there's some balance, bugs and performance issues, but those aren't why it failed. Some of the cultures are better, and you find yourself racing for them and maybe even quitting if you don't get them, but that's not different from Civilization game wonders of in Civ6 great people. And in Civ5 on high difficulty basically half the civics were objectively wrong to pick.
Its a 99% good game, and the last missing 1% is the magic part that actually gets you to play a thousand hours.

no control over war.
Not the reason it failed. Many Civilization playes don't even like the war, they just like macroing the cities.

Ahahaha the tech tree isn't even releasing complete. Holyshit. The game ends in the 1960s they're charging for the modern eras.
Fucking hell firaxis. And the UI looks like placeholder, doesn't even look finished. You idiots are going to ship this in 2 months?! holyshit ahaha. This is not ready.
Also Civ 6 is $5. Why would you even bother with this shit. You can even pick up Civ4 with everything for under $10. Why would you bother buying this?!
You're getting a worse game with none of the content. I said the same with Cities 2, What are they thinking here this is just stupid and out of touch. $120dollarydoos for this crap. its also interesting seeing in all the trailers for the game there's a noticeable stutter on everything. The UI feels more like the sort of crap you'd see in one of the worser total war titles where none of the icons read very well, there's a noticeable absence in graphics and just everything seems rushed and sterile. Even 6's had similar issues but was at least a bit more bearable to look at compared to this crap.

There will be enough sub-wits that enjoy the kind of mobile gameplay nu-Civ offers. I don't doubt it'll sell well.

How many times are they gonna make the same game with minimal changes?

As long as people keep buying Civilization, so basically forever.

Civ likes usually span over the majority of human history. Old world is a different beast.

I'd argue that's their biggest failing. Civ wants to do too much and spreads itself way too thin.

You should have linked to the video rather than the article about it so people can check it out themselves.
Of course the present current industry business model is absurd, and like Paradox found out after spending years making DLCs for Crusader Kings 2 it's a hard sell to go back to the old release model after endless support and content production for the single game. Suddenly you have produced this behemoth due to a semi-live-service product lifespan that you have to compete with in your brand new release that the developers put out to begin from scratch again, that is not just a worse value proposal but one that they will
btw, Amplitude Studios won a cultural victory over Firaxis
but Firaxis won the economic victory, sadly

I wonder if one of the reasons they're delaying the contemporary era is to move most of the turbowoke shit past launch. I can't remember what game it was now, but there was a leak recently related to some other upcoming game, saying that after the backlash Veilguard and other titles got, the bulk of woke shit will be moved to patches and so on, and silently added to the game after launch.
Because you can be 100% sure the future era in Civ VII will contain Black Lives Matter, George Floyd, Covid, troons, the Great Reset, drag queen story hour, Michelle Obama's dong, climate change, electric cars, veganism, and everything else that God Himself HATES with fiery passion, astaghfirullah.

sorry I was tired, I had spent most of the day coding so my brains a bit fried. I should've just linked the video.
You are fabricating fancy tales to explain why a company wants to cut a piece of the product to sell you as extra.

We will not know untill we see - DLC's and Modern Era Civ VII will tell us all.
I hereby identify Civ7 non-buynary until all the DLC's aren't published.
We have to be sure to pass the judgement, after all.

Sure we can. Civ 5 was mediocre, Civ 6 was worse, Civ 7 will be even worse still. Civ 8 will be developed by NetEase. lol
