Ok got a question that I can't really Search for, because this is going to be something individual to me I guess... I'm not trying to troll or start a sh!tfight of a thread... I'm just going to explain my situation, then ask for some honest (but reasoned) feedback.
Longtime fan of Civs 1-4. Loved Colonization, didn't bother with Civ4Col tho.
About to get a new rig which will allow me to play CiV - i7 950 with a GTX465 EE Superclock and 12Gb RAM, so I'm not anticipating issues meeting the specs![Smile :) :)](/data/assets/smilies/smile.gif)
I'm a fan of Steam, so I have no problems with playing CiV this way.. I'm also just sick and tired enough of Stacks to be prepared to entertain the notion of 1UPT.
Thus far I've stayed away from CiV a) because my current laptop probably wouldn't run it well anyway, b) it seemed from all accounts to be shovelware upon release, and c) some of the more questionable design decisions hadn't been mitigated by mods.
Now that there's been a few pretty decent patches, and a few good mods are coming out for it, is it worth the purchase? or is CiV completely irredeemable? Wut Do Gaiz?![Smile :) :)](/data/assets/smilies/smile.gif)
Reasoned feedback/opinions either for or against appreciated.
