Civ VI vs. Marvel's Midnight Suns

[Eagle Pursuit]

Yes. Though presumably you haven't tried Marvel's Midnight Suns yet?

I totally recommend it.
Steam had a free-to-play weekend and that's where I had a go.

Definitely keep an eye out for the next one!

Regardless IMO XCOM/MMS is definitely going to influence future Civ one way

I'm waiting for all the DLC heroes to come out first so I can experience them all in one playthrough.

Apparently it's 56% off at Green Man Gaming.

I think you will want to play it twice for sure

Moderator Action: Please try to keep the discussion at least marginally related to Civilization, since this IS a Civ-specific forum. If you wish to futher discuss Midnight Suns outside of that there is a thread located here: https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/marvels-midnight-suns-by-firaxis.672742/

Because that's the entire point of the story? What are you actually even complaining about?

Thanks for not spoiling the end for me. But like WTF happened?!

Spoiler MMS Finale :

So Hunter redeemed his relationship with his mom. Ok, it's touching. But was it really crucial/critical to the narrative and/or gameplay. IDK
In fact the premise that the big bad is your mom is a little disturbing. Especially as many gamers live in their mom's basements

Back on topic: MMS suffers from Firaxis' "One more turn".
I say "suffers" because I completed the game going to bed at 5am, barely getting any sleep last night and now I feel rotten. (Oh, but that maybe b'cos of the mixers I had!)
At least it is Sunday!

Honestly, I don't remember ever being hooked on Civ like this.
Marvel's Midnight Suns has very addictive gameplay. I'm so relieved to have completed it this weekend!

Another commonality: both games have a continue playing after the end mode.
Civ VI "Just one more turn..." button and Marvel's Midnight Suns' "New Game+" mode.

As you know, big fan of Midnight sun here... enjoyed it a lot, finished the base game, didn't buy the season pass so waiting for all 4 DLCs to be out and the discounts to come in before buying them, in the meantime I still play a little to raise friendship with the last 2 heroes I'm not maxed in yet.

Season Pass is on Spring Sales everywhere now.
I got it and am playing Deadpool now

BTW I'm editing the OP to keep track of things both games have in common.

Thx but still ain't gonna fork up over $50 for this...

Yeah, the one more turn also caused some accidental late nights for me when playing Xcom and Xcom 2.

I have played through the AoW series, especially the first two. I especially liked the halflings. Very fun and they had a fantasy civ-lite/Master of Magic feel to them. More scenario driven play where you usually had to get a domination win.

If AoW4 has more empire building, that'll be great. The more 4X games, the better. Eagerly waiting more information.

I never really got into XCOM2 even though I purchased it at launch.
PS4 copy is gathering dust.

After I finish MMS I think I will dust it off.

But I have to say Civ VI isn't nearly as addictive as MMS. I've been spending several late nights playing it now.
With Civ VI I fall asleep much earlier. In fact it makes me tired/sleepy.

No more "one more turn"
