Twenty minutes later "awesome" has climbed to the fifth position.
I am impressed. You are bending Google's algorithms to your will.

We had this discussion in the last year already.
Checking how often bad attributes could be found for Civ5 in contrast to Civ4. Was quite impressive
The string "Civ 4 is" had no results, I had to use "civ iv is"

For Google.co.uk
Can't see the OP graphic (just the red X), but when I enter "Civ 5 is" in Google, it auto-completes with the words "buggy," "slow," "unplayable," and "boring" in that order.
Looks pretty bad if those are the most common searches.

Google.ie gives pretty much the same as the op, but when I put in "civ 4 is", I got "an rts".

If Stardock googles for Civilization V ever, I think Shafer will have a tough time with his boss....
Why would people be google searching phrases like "civ5 is awesome"? If people are looking for help about a particular issue or at least want to see if they're the only ones experiencing it, of course they're going to search for quite negative phrases.
I'm not saying civ5 is unplayable or not, or awesome or not, but judging things based on google search suggestions or even the number of hits from searches is a lame form of entertainment at best, and a poor way of research at worst. Trying the search suggestions for 'obama is'.
The only exception to the above is seeing the suggestions for "why is my".

Fair point. I was exaggerating a bit to say the 'only' exception.

I get similar results when putting civ5 is...
While I agree that civ5 is most of those things, I'd take it with a grain of salt obviously. But it is funny.
To show how silly the google search is, type in sex is and you'll see what I mean. My first result is sex is zero- whatever that means (apparently it is a south korean film).
civ3 is kind of funny. I get civ3 is hard, and civ3 is better.
