    Civilization 5 Rants Thread

    We simply over think it... its 2k being 2k nothing else. They use the "easy marketing" route of buying marquee names, period... there's nothing more to it. The "attract new market argument" is a PR response to the community being mad, not some grand scheme in the franchise development...

    Infinite business wisdom

    Starcraft 2 is a major success and it will be there for a long time... a decade maybe! Blizzard still focuses on milking on WOW for a bit... but when they'll put SC2 on high gear watch out. My guess is by the time the 3rd expansion comes out, SC2 will have impact the gaming industry has much...

    Infinite business wisdom

    They only make UFO into a shooter because its the easiest way to rush up a big name title into the market... The previews are plain stupid. 2K is the worst thing to ever happen to gaming... I really hope gamers start to wake up a little and stop buying into their marketing machine with no...

    Exclusive: Behind The Scenes Of Sid Meier's Civilization V

    He said that we all payed full price to Beta test the game... there's absolutely nothing to be mad about. Really! Why complain at least we have a "foundation" right. Plus he said they've good intention! So really now, why should we be angry?! Be happy and in a year or so, you may get something...

    That Post is the first one to ever to shake my position has a hater... I've tried it after the "not so February, but March" patch, but still get bored with it mainly because its missing a lots of the "sandbox" parts the civ franchise always had, BUT... This post alone inspired me to give...

    March Patch Notes (formerly february)

    The only ones thinking that we're unhappy (Quebecers) are those outside of the province! The fact that we ask for more "autonomy" in our own province is reminiscent of the extreme centralization of the "old" colonial constitution. No american would accept to live in it either :P But that doesnt...

    Why is Civilopedia so useless?

    This plus they fired half of the staff in June which force them to build something somewhat playable in september... no time for Civilopedia!

    Do you think that the expansion will really improve this game?

    Last news we got from them is when Shafer left. I think they're way over there head with this and all the staff is on the "boring" facebook project. They cant even come up with a real patch, what make you think they will come up with an expansion... certainly not this year! Unless this...

    Dislike CIV5? Watch Dan Gilbert and learn something new

    Very interesting indeed... but the game is still boring :P Technicly you misunderstand him totally. You are the guy who takes the 50$ over the 60 in the future; the difference is that your pleased of yourself for doing so.. has we took the 50 and feel dumb to not have waited long enough

    Jon Shafer joins Stardock to work on elemental

    True... for now. It has sold a lot of copy on marketing plus anticipation alone, no denying that. The 4m bench mark is a bit high.. true! But I'm pretty convinced that CIV V did hurt the franchise and future business to be made with it. And If those early sale are made to people like me, the...
