The difficulty is justifying the hours i'd put into Civ IV today, if I didn't own it. I was really interested in succession games, and playing along with them - and now the Civ 4 SG community is kinda dead.

I've basically decided that Civ5's flaws outweigh the monotonous stackbuilding in all the previous games. The easiest answer is to just try it again, instead of listening to a bunch of us nuts on the internet shouting our opinions at each other.

"top" game on any platform is a pretty silly list, honestly. and, like GameSpot did, all you can do is quantify them by review score, or by number of copies sold. Top lists and game of the years, are simply there so that gaming news sites have something to post during the slow jan-feb months...

I'm not sure who owns the old SSI games, but I think it'd be a perfect fit with gog.com.

They have patched a ton of bugs. Most of the remaining bugs are in the multiplayer. That being said this game is amazingly fun :)

I think the biggest reason I am sticking to Civ 5 is because god damn building stacks in like 20 cities was freaking tedious. that being said I agree with the article. Though I am saddened by its failure because I was hoping for a revival of the succession game forum, which was so fun to read...

Someone never played Daikatana XD

I think the biggest flaw is that the logic in the first post ignores the thousands of unrepresented Civ customers, who don't read fansites. I know at least ten people who own the game and are not active on any Civ fansites. All but one enjoy the game. Ten is not any more of a general consensus...

Of course the servers would get swamped because of Civ5. But some foresight might have been an idea. Maybe renting an extra server or two for 3-6 months following Civ5's launch. Seems like every time I have a minute to read, I just get that dumb message, and have to go elsewhere to spend my...

Expected, honestly. Pirates can crack Steam, just like anything else. There is NO system or DRM scheme that is 100% uncrackable. There are some here who see Steam as purely DRM and nothing else, and for them, it is useless. For me, it's got a lot of other features I really like. For one...

I use steam, a lot. Must have 50+ games on the thing (though a lot of em are stuff like the ID pack). I don't go around championing the thing across forums though, but I also don't go slamming it for every little bug. However that sounds like an odd issue, and probably deserves to be posted on...

Rise of Nations, it's sorta what you would get if you put Civ, Age of Empires 2, and Risk together.

The original Team Fortress, which was a mod for Quake 1. I used to play this a LOT.

If not Minecraft...FreeCiv?

What? I cant hear you over my Baldur's Gate soundtrack... XD

Oooh. The RB team is back at it. :)

Gameplay wise, the rifle should probably beat the longbow on an open field with equal damage bonuses. However, if the longbow is defending, one could argue that since he is in cover, the rifle wouldn't have an easy shot. Also from what I recall, an authentic longbow requires something like 60...

I love 1upt. Honestly none of the core changes (1upt, hexes, city-states) have disappointed me at all. Diplomacy could use some tweaks, or even just more options, and Multiplay is kinda buggy though. Modding out 1upt could result in some wierd balance issues...maybe I should try it sometime...

I think as far as crashes go, check the tech forum before making decisions. It appears to be related to certain hardware, not an overall crash bug. (I've heard talk of an nvidia conflict, I think...)

On the fast settings, I was finding that my troops would obsolete before I had a chance to use them. I really like a slow-paced Civ game, even though it does tend to make the initial turns tedious. move one scout-end turn etc.
