I ***** and complain mostly, but even someone like me feels a bit grateful for the hard work Firaxis puts in. I've been playing their games since SMAC, and playing Sid's games since Pirates on my commodore 64, (though it was a pirated copy - sorry about that). Civ VI will be legit. Anyway...

In almost every video I've watched, cities are settled with significant amounts of tundra within their vicinity. From what I'm used to playing Civ IV, tundra would only consist of small bands north and south. It wasn't hard to avoid tundra completely - I would only settle in tundra if I was...

I'll watch the next one too since Jar Jar Abrams isn't directing. Who knows - a miracle might happen, but I'm anticipating an Empire Strikes Back 'homage'. Rogue One also fills me with some hope.

But doesn't that mean you are looking down on me? You aren't a rotten complainer like some people, and this makes you feel good about yourself. You're different. You're better. LOL.

Why?

I was thinking the same thing. Disney bought Star Wars for 4 billion dollars - there was no way they were taking any chances. They pump out their product like a coal mine pumps out coal - films are just a commodity to them. They are in the business of making money, not producing great art...

Spot on. Finn makes no sense as a character. The death of his fellow soldier and the massacre upset him enough to throw off a lifetime of brainwashing to give him a conscience. Yet moments later he is massacring his fellow soldiers, officers and deck crew with nary a care. He shouts in euphoria...

Indeed. Uncanny valley stuff. I can't get past the giant mole on the girl's face. Why stop there? Add some zits and cold sore around her lips too... Everyone is gushing about the video. On Reddit people are crying with emotion. One guy reported becoming aroused. I think the video is vile, and...

I had fun playing Civ IV settler level but with the goal of getting all wonders. I did it with vanilla, but I couldn't get all wonders with Beyond the Sword, let alone all corporations. Anyway, that's my plan if there is a win settler achievement.

Any achievement fiends here? Any hint what the achievements for 6 will be? Is it a bit unfair to earn certain achievements like win a Deity game when things might still be seriously unbalanced?

Why does Sean Bean look like a middle eastern person? Or why does a middle eastern person talk with a Sheffield accent? Would it be racist to depict a European performing and discovering the things they actually achieved? And yes, I would imagine igniting an entire vat of combustible liquid by...

Why? If you've been given a pathetic start, or suffer some kind of unrecoverable defeat, why should you waste hours of your precious time just so the eventual winner can have all the fun? If a person quits, this should simply mean they are eliminated. The remaining players, or remaining player...

Please have a Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster religion option, with it's own unique icon. It would also be cool if the Sistine Chapel artwork could be modified to have a Spaghetti Monster in place of the anthropomorphized and bearded depiction of God. Thanks.

I'm confident there will be a mod. I also dislike the fog of war. Makes me feel kind of claustrophobic and hemmed in. Least they could do is have watch towers - in SMAC you could build sensors to increase visibility. I'm definitely going to station ships at optimal points of the ocean so that I...

I thought I wouldn't be able to play until Saturday 22nd of October Australia time. Now I get to play an entire day earlier? This is payback for the Australian Stellaris launch being almost a day later than Europe.
