Regardless of whatever you may think of their various decisions, dumping Aspyr is definitely a good one.

The issue is how much difference past incarnations makes on the present - in how it feels rather than in numbers. Like, how much different will the French civ feel that evolved from Celts to the French civ that evolved from Romans? If there's not much difference at all, then really it's only 10...

It's interesting widely the prices compared to each other vary by region. They're all £59.99 apart from one, which is £54.99.

Sometimes it comes up on the chatter saying who did it, especially if you catch the spy.

Thanks!

Could someone help me parse my computer specs in terms of the specs for Civ VII? Since they've gone into model numbers rather than performance, I don't really get what means what lol Specifically, my CPU is Intel Core i5-9400F @ 2.9GHz, 2904Mhz, 6 Core, 6 logical processers and my GPU is NVIDIA...

I appreciate the openness in telling us what they actually mean by their categories rather than just vague "minimum" and "recommended". It'd be nice if they included average times for processing turns - my Switch experience tells me that's important too! It's been ages since I bought my PC and...

The controller mapping was actually pretty good. It's mostly that they went with Aspyr that made it a dumpster fire.

Pretty sure they said they're limiting the Switch capacity specifically. I don't remember the numbers, but the Switch can't go above 5 players ever play larger than Standard map - on the PC you can.

Of course it's speculating, every thing is speculating at the moment. The fact is though that they're carving up the game and making parts inaccessible on some platforms (I've used plural, we just know about the switch so far, that in aware of) to make it feasible to play. That's good enough...

That's not really following. "Running this on minimum spec was not low enough for the Switch so we've had to add artificial carve outs to prevent it getting overwhelmed" doesn't inspire me with confidence that it's going to be particularly modest. Especially since they were content with the...

I remember when I was poor in terms of cash flow. Locked into a £500/month flat. I was bringing in £120/week without overtime...and overtime was far from guaranteed, and not numerous when I did get it. My wife was having to work for free. Do the maths. That's without food, utilities, or...

To make that comparison, you're expected to go through three civs to play a game, so really you should divide Civ7s number by three...which gives you 18, comparable to the other games you mentioned (going by your numbers).

I kinda agree with this. My issue with DLC oriented methods of sale is that they tend not to be additions really, but parts of the main game that they hacked off (but kept the base game the same price), then packaged them as DLCs and charged ten times the price compared to what you would have...

Go to the website, scroll down slightly: Hit menu. It'll bring up this pop up menu: Hit DLC, and it will show you the various DLCs: Select one, and it will bring up the details for that pack. Then scroll down and it will show you the release dates: Added spoiler tags for better organization...
