Playing as a Continuous Civ- A HUGE Mistake

[McSpank01]

I care, in that I want to do it.

Who are you to tell me how the history I'm writing by playing the game should be written?

Exactly! Let’s all argue about whose ahistorical fantasy is better shall we?

Are you trying to misunderstand me on purpose? Nobody is taking away anything from you, this whole discussion ist about an additional OPTION to play the way we used to play before! Nothing more, nothing less!

Probably the one that doesn't struggle to have more players than its 15 year old predessecor, that isn't sitting on mixed reviews, and didn't have to change a decades old tagline to justify itself but of course that's just my subjective opinion.

The Civ 5 that we know and love had many years of development, patches, DLC and mods. Civ 7 hasn't even been out for a year.

I cant believe we are still discussing if Civ VII wold well or not based on the phantom console sales...

Even the 2k executive said Civ VII had a slow start but they were expecting to reach their goals in the long term. That meant is sold badly at launch, or at least worse than expected

Why we ares till discussing this i have no clue

Civ fans are passionate about their franchise. They don't call us Civfanatics for nothing!

Is there any other franchise whose current game cant surpass 2 previous entries of the same franchise?

And if exist and i am missing it, is there anyone trying to claim such entry of such franchise is successful?

In the end, I wonder if these endless arguments are not more boring than the actual game can ever be.

Really? I actually have been noticing a few more people online. However I still feel like the game sort of snowballs still particularly in modern era.

Havent played Civ VII in months because i have it uninstalled, but its hard for me to think of anything more boring than Civ VII at launch

Apparently 1.3.0 increased the player numbers (nothing huge, but noticeable) and its getting better reviews

That being said, it came with the announcement of them working on continous civs, so i guess everything could have impacted on the mood of the fans

Yet here we are.

Its the last of the franchises from my youth that remains without Devs trashing it, i am willing to fight for it. It is likely to be in vain, but i will try

Age of Empires IV is the one that comes to mind, honestly not a bad game and I wouldn't call it a failure because I doubt Microsoft expected this third party reboot to outsell AOEII like 2K and Firaxis were banking on with VII.

The OP said that they think it is a waste of work, time, and resources that could be spent on fixing current issues.

That has been repeated a few times in the thread.
