I have as yet to see a valid or intelligent arguement for Civ5.
There is nothing that is sophisticated about this game. When rational people on the boards have offered valid complaints about the game, and have very reasonable demands for a strategy game released in 2010, such as ending movies, more management etc, I've read such gems as:
"WTH, ending cutscenes? I ROFL'd!! I don't care about ending cutscenes! Wonders? Meh, who cares?!"
...It makes me seriously wonder at the IQ level of the average fanboy.
People actually cheering at the removal of espionage, religion, civics: The very things that are the common crux of all civilizations? Perhaps an Eater Island civ should have been included for them, to see how that went.
Civ5, quite simply, is not complex, it is not deep and it is not a step forward at all. At the risk of sounding harsh, it is a simple game for simple people.
