Even in the older games I rarely finished them because of "End of Turn" Sickness then too.
Well since everyone rants or raves about this game I thought I would throw in my two cents from a very simple point.
While I'm on the topic of Civ 5 multiplayer, what the hell happened? Why is it less customizable than Civ 4? Where are all the maps? Why can't I add more AI? What about advanced start, or being able to mix and match leaders with different civs? If your sequel has LESS customization and options than the game that came before it, you've done something wrong.
WHAT AN INSULT TO THE TRUELY FAITHFUL WHO PAID FOR THIS SERIES FOR 2 DECADES.
I liked Civ5, then I played Europa Universallis III Divine Wind. I will never go back to Civ.
EDIT: By the way, I think it would really make sense if there were two Civ 5 rant threads: One for rants about the game itself, and one for rants about the way it has been left in a Beta state for months on end.
Sid Meier's Civilization franchise is done, as far as I'm concerned.
Just because you found a game that you think's better, you think it's done?
No, it's probably done because it neglected its long term support base.
No, it's probably done because it neglected its long term support base. Finding a better game is just a consequence.
As for the splitting of the rants thread, I'm against. Whoever decided to corner the "haters" into a dark spot of the room didn't realize what the dark spot would become. Soon enough, this thread will only be second to the "Welcome new members" thread, a huge testimony to the "success" of civ5. If it were any other topic, it would probably have been stickied by now (not a bad idea, as it is truly a testimony that "COULD" save the franchise in the long term).
So, it's better to let the "testimony" continue to grow.
Except they did that with Civ 3. And Civ 4.
