    Civ 4 vs Civ 5 my thoughts

    Civ4 by a hair? Doesnt mean civ5 isnt a great game tho... I myself liked vanilla civ4 better right out of the box if I recall. That doesn't mean Civ5 isnt a great game. For me Civ4 was an A+ and Civ5 is an A- The UI is MUCH better in civ5. No it's not a freaking console port. It's an UI...

    Is anyone besides me happy with the game?

    Ya I cant really make a judgement from one game on normal difficulty. I think I will pick one of the much harder levels and see if I get smoked. :crazyeye: I sure like the UI in this game though! I cant believe people are thinking that it is geared towards consoles lol. You "could" play...

    Is anyone besides me happy with the game?

    For me the combat system is miles and miles ahead of Civ4. That is civ5's great step forward imo. However, I am worried about the lack of push back from the AI. Granted I did play my first game with Prince. Has anyone noticed the AI doesnt like to expand much? How about the harder levels...

    Civ 5 sucks. Got 4? Stick with it.

    Have the trolls in the game actually tried to invade a great power? LEt me tell you, the AI knows what its doing at that point. You will need at least 7 or 8 units to make a dent. I have seen a AI with 3 cities total on prince level, but the rest I saw only had one city. That is an worry...

    Is anyone else appalled by the Eurocentrism in Civ?

    Some of the non European civs are odd choices in Civ4 and really just fillers to be honest. Beyond some impressive ruins do you think the Khmer belong? The Koreans? I could argue that a country like Canada has had a bigger influence on world history then Khmer and I am 100% serious when I...

    Infuriating Civ Conversation Transcript

    Anyone over 20 who plays PC games should have heard of CIV, Civ4 even had TV commerials. Sounds like they might have been yanking your chain dude :) Then again when I think of some of the weird jap rpgs that some of my friends used to play and get pissed off when I had no interest in...

    Civilization 5 Steamworks questions/concerns for inclusion in the FAQ

    Sorry, I do not see how steam has pushed Ubi into the drm crazyness they went with for settlers 7... If anything the backlash and lack of sales they received for what I thought was a pretty good game might lead them into going with steam. But hey this is just a theory with no basis in proof...

    I am skeptical

    This is a very silly arguement.... One could say that you have no proof either that the game is going to be bad... I mean CIV is not foolproof. I myself didnt like Civ3 at all. But from what I have seen I am pleased. I will wait a bit to see reviews of the game tho before I buy....

    Civilization 5 Steamworks questions/concerns for inclusion in the FAQ

    I find the amount of venom against steam to be pretty silly. The only real arguement I can see against Valve is if they close shop for some reason, one would lose the games they have purchased. Now, I could take this seriously 5 years ago when valve was not such a success. I dunno, here's...

    Tell Firaxis what is making you nervous

    I think it is moronic to complain about no mac support for CIV5.... 110% moronic. Did the mac users suddenly forget about the lack of games that are developed for macs? :eek: I am sure civ5 will come out for MACs in the future if the game is a hit. Its pretty silly to ask for support for an...

    Civilization 5 Steamworks questions/concerns for inclusion in the FAQ

    I am surprised at the amount of hate steam gets... I rather enjoy not having to go into a store and buy a game and have all the waste that comes along with buying a game. Box, manual etc which I do not need. I share my steam account with my brother who also buys games and this allows us to...

    One Civ flaw never fixed?

    YA I 100% agree. I dont know how anyone could state that the AI in GAL civ2 was better then CIV4.... It's too bad too GalCiv2 is a great game otherwise.
