Civ V: How much have you bought?

[need my speed]

Thank you, best joke of the week!

He is sort of right though. Tommorow, when you buy a pizza, you'll pay the full price for a pizza with nothing on it, and then have to pay money for whatever you want on it.

Only vanilla, I dont like the concept of DLCs.

I think the companies are releasing very "dry" games because they want to sell DLCs later on, and this just doesnt seem right.

Its like buying a pizza and then you discover that theres no cheese on it.
"Ah, do you want cheese on your pizza? Only $4,99! How about some pepperoni? Just 5,99$".

Ah, but you could also argue that it is like buying your pizza, then paying for extra peparoni!!!

And everyone in their right mind loves pepparoni........*awaits chastising replys from several members, pointing out they dont*

Just vanilla thus far. I could be tempted to buy all the DLC if it were packaged together for a slightly cheaper price, and I would quite likely buy an expansion, if there is one.

yes the stuff like the extra pepperoni, pineapple, sea food (Polynesia ) .. etc

if u are not willing to pay for extra stuff just get the vanilla pizza (wondering if an actual vanilla pizza would taste good )

the game is playable without the DLCs so that was no way like getting a pizza with nothing on top

by the way i didn't vote, when i said i got them all i meant the DLC civ's and not the maps .. so there was no option for me (or perhaps the few DLC one ?)

I regretfully pre-ordered Civ V vanilla and I think it came with something extra. Not sure what it was. I think a map. I am too disgusted with the game to support it any further. I trusted them and was taken advantage of and refuse to support any longer.

I did however find a positive thing with buying this game from steam. I bought a Mac and when I installed steam to see what games were available I saw it would let me install a few of my purchased PC games including Civ V, on my Mac for free. I decided to give the game another try and I'm still very disappointed.

Hopefully they can recover this game, I'd sure hate to lose Civ forever.

All Civs, no maps, I like the random aspect to the map type anyway, so I never saw a need to buy any of the maps.

-Have fun

Exactly what I was going to say. Buy the civs and play random maps. Although I have played the Earth map twice, mostly I just play either random continents or pangea maps. Although playing the Polys on archipelago maps is fun.

In case people didn't know, we do pay for the extra stuff in the pizza.

Also, keep in mind that DLC are just small expansions, so they can't affect the way things are going in the negative way some people are saying, without expansions having the same effect.

Well, i love the incas and the polys but will not miss nebukad and even spain. But i am not happy to pay extra money for them. But we live in a capitalistic world.

I got the "one more turn" feeling back after the latest patch. As I have only played with 4 civs so far, I won't buy DLC yet. I'm hoping for a DLC pack as soon as the GOTY comes out.
