Well if we are gonna list our 5 most played games here are mine.
1. Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction. My favorite game. Still play it. Its sequel was a horrid game for various reasons so have not gotten.
2. Civilization 4 Beyond The Sword.
3. The Elder Scrolls 5 Skyrim. On break from the game. Will one day play again. Of note I also played and loved Morrowind and got but hated and quickly stopped playing Oblivion.
4. Team Fortress 2. No longer play and will not play again. Stopped about 4 months after it became free to play because of the influx of cheaters and trolls in it.
5. Borderlands 1. Still play albeit rarely. Have never played co-op. Played sequel however 2 has a horrid loot system so no longer play. 1 Has a great loot system and slightly better combat due to enemies not being silly damage sponges and no suicide bomber enemies that insta-kill (in the base game anyway).
Hello there and others,
I posted my favorite 5 games to show that they are all PC and Only PC games. And then they all became disaster right along with Civilization series

Maybe we should open another thread about what Civ 4 players other favorite games are

Some others in this thread pretty much described very well with nice language how game industry went and goes and everything.
It is obvious other kind of games like car racing or open world games where you move a single character etc. moved to playstation for better graphics. Mainly strategy games that require so many controls can't really move on to other platforms and SHOULD NOT!. I really can't tolerate every other electronic game platform that doesn't have an alternative to mouse and its arrow.
I bought Civ 4 Vanilla when I was 13 at year 2006 and I mainly played on settler, and got myself kicked because of refusing demands of many cruel AIs on chieftain difficulty back then

They seem to arrange things for kids now and only for kids. No matter what company is be it Firaxis, EA w/e, you can stop complaning about Firaxis now, every single player PC game goes on downhill, where complexity and quality is not requirement anymore. They don't want some 13 year olds to buy games and then they don't understand and throw away right? increase in Usage of Internet and iPhone 1 release date seem to put off PC Games, at least that's what I think. We may used to grow up playing single player games on PC, the most complex electronic device yet anyone can use but today's trend is annoyingly about online games, showing off through internet.

And a game also adaptable to notebooks, tablets? Of course, compound some units into same tile by creating your unique combination army, move it with your fingers and there you go. Civ 6. Get connected, play with your friends. The more the better only strategy game. I guess today's tablet technology perhaps can't beat computers available 10 years ago. I still consider windows 95 PC games more complex than today's tablet games.
Also all those discussions/threads in civ 6 about what leaders people want to see? Some leaders are totally unique that they must include. I don't want to see a civ game without its classic leaders such as montezuma, tokugawa, alexander, ramesses, napoleon, shaka, elizabeth, genghis khan etc. And their unique soundtrack that has been around since Civ 1, a game I never played.
What's the word? Cumulative? How civ 1-2-3-4 proceeded and then another game was created civ5.
I guess civ 4 designers explained themselves with Engineering tech quote
"A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."

Maybe Civ 5 fans and unbiased civ4/5 fans can start a thread about what they see bad in civilization 4 and why objectively. Because so far in this thread I see civ 4 fans complaning objectively about civ 5.
And maybe this changed Liberlism quote to all single player PC game developpers out there
"Any company that would give up a little quality to gain a little profit will deserve neither and lose both."


Yeah, basically repeating is all I can do
