Civ4 is NOT recommended for over-sensitive geeks.

[DeadFish]

well, this afternoon i had a brilliant game - the difficulty was very easy ( i know i know! but i wanted to get the hang of civ4 first )

I finally took over italy and i saw a sad face of caesar - I felt so guilty and sort of 'cried'.

Dont think this game is ideal for geeks who are over sensitive - unfortunately i am one of them.

i dont think this game is for people who have to be anal about every little detail in the game. also its not for the people who are so overly religious that they think civ4 is bashing the religion because its not in the game or because their preachers are called missionarys(oh bo-ho.... its just a game come on)

When I play Imperialism II, after a while I feel guilty as hell listening to the anguished screams of those poor frickin' Injuns I'm massacring.

Can I buy this game, and massacre you right back? Nothing personal, sure it's a game, but I cheer for the home team.

First time I felt bad that I humiliated Ghengis Khan was from civ 4.
the emotions that the character displayed were pretty impressive.

Home team - you mean you're a native American?

You can't play the Injuns in Imp II. They are just the poor schlubs you have to despatch in order to build your Empire. The only major powers in the game are the Europeans.

And yeah, you should be able to buy the game. Try eBay or do a net search for a retailer. It's a great old strategy game. So long as you don't mind playing a ruthless imperialist.

I thought this thread was going to be about hyper-sensitive history buffs who complain the Kremlin being represented with a picture of St Vasiliy's and the like ...

You should play Postal 2 if you want some real anquish.

I need to wipe someone out. All the wars I have been in I just reduced them to one city because it wasn't worth the hassle.

I once had ghandi as my neighbour civ. and every other civ was ganging up on him and taking his cities one at a time. I felt so sorry for the old man, i gave him some free tech and gold

Lol I did that with Isabella, they were ganging her and so I gave her Elephants, it wasn't long Isabella was doing a little ganging of her own and boy did those civs that were at war with her get mad at me. lol

Rates a 5.5 at IGN. That sort of anguish I can do without.

Yup.
Still waiting for my CE Civ IV to arrive, so I have time enough to read posts.

Lol you can't go by IGN reviews they are the suxors afaic. Postal 2 is a riot and is more bloodthirsty than GTA's. Setting the dog on fire was a riot, the sounds of pain and agony are unmatched in any other game. It isn't the best FPSer ever made, but, it's definitely one of the gorefest ones.

It's probably bargain bin by now, definitely worth a 5 spot just for the sheer destructiveness and evil you can be in it.

Postal 2 was very fun.... for 2 hours. I had more fun with the demo than with the entire game, because the full game was just more of the same, but crappier as you got further into the game.

 

[DeadFish]

isn't postal 2 an RTS game or FPS game?

Indeed, I only played the demo, but it showed how pointless and stupid the game quickly becomes, and that is if you you find random acts of brutality on pixel people somewhat entertaining even for novelty's sake.
