Civ V

[Casimir]

Apologies if there is already a civ v thread somewhere but I couldn't find one.


Anyone got it and wants to help me not play till 6 in the morning?

Civ V is for bundle of stickss.

Best game. Feel like an addict when I pull an all-nighter!

Civ V is awesome, tho I'm too cheap to buy the expansions.

Seems i brought all the

DLC without realising it in the last steam sale.

Civ V is for bundle of stickss.

I assume that means you play it everyday?

Civ 5 is the civ game for sycophants and products of incest.

No really, compared to Civ 4 it is bad.

[Casimir]

having played both briefly i must say Civ V is considerably more user friendly.  I guess its dumbed down and made flashier like most games but it's still a good game in itself.

With the expansions + a few mods I find Civ V to be superior in all ways to Civ IV.

Sorry, but that's just the way it is.

Month and a half later, there's upgrade option to Gold version for just 2.5 EUR. You have to buy Brave New World separately.

The multiplayer scene of Civ 5 is pretty much dead now, even though that of Civ 4 is still healthy. That says a lot. There are a huge number of reasons for this, which may each appear relatively harmless, but together they make Civ 5 a game that only makes sense at the level of a play of a beginner.

Meah... CIV 5 was a great disappointment. Almost as much as Diablo 3.
 
Civilization 4 + DLCs + Caveman to Cosmos mod <--- best Civilization experience to date! ( so many options, your head will spin! )
 
Since noone is playing Civ games for cutting edge graphics, no need to even try Civ 5. Hex'ed map might be the only good thing i can say about it. Yeah, and modding for Civ 5 is dead.

EDIT:

I disagree completely! In what way ( graphics and hex map aside ) is Civ 5 superior to Civ 4?! 

Damn, makes me rage a bit "superior in all ways to Civ IV"... omg

Graphics quality is important because both Civ IV and Civ V are using 3D graphics. Civ IV looks terribly dated and confusing. I wouldn't mind that if Civ IV had hand drawn 2D graphics. Civ II graphics is more than enough for me tbh, because it's 2D graphics.

Also, Civ IV have two expansions packs. Second expansion pack for Civ V is going be released soon. You can't compare finished game with unfinished. We'll compare them again in a year, when modders finish some truly epic mods and when everything is patched.
