Dread Multiplayer
I'm beginning to wonder if any of the people who reviewed this game ever actually played it. I'm certain they didn't play multiplayer with the unconquerable errors there, but I have been a CIV fan since day one, I played the original as a kid and every one since. CivIV was down and out the best in the series and a great replayable game. CIV V though... I am just utterly disappointed. I would have bought it anyway, but I was so happy to see all the reviews give 4.5 out of 5 and the like. But when I played the game, at first it was great. Great graphics, new system, etc etc. But then, reality set it. They utterly annihilated all of the depth. They removed any trace of balance the game had and replaced it with flashy graphics. I'm just so disappointed. I know I sound like a nag, but good lord I just don't see how even a bunch of patches and 2 expansions can fix the problems here. Sure there is modding and the like, but that just gets messy. Am I asking too much to pay $50 for a game that *should* be in line with the 4 that came before it?
