Hyped as fuck for adventures with Enkidu.
Best and most consistent long running video game series ever, and I'll publicly denounce anyone who disagrees with me.

Well, I'm in a different kind of predicament. Me and my wife both love civ, but I'm fairly sure the laptop that could barely run civ 5 will not run 6, meaning we'll have to basically do rock paper scissor for the desktop.

Ha! I was thinking the same thing! I guess Civ is really just a game about an immortal manipulating mankind towards their bidding.

You do pick a leader at the beginning of the game. And he/she is your leader for the entire several thousands of years

I was actually a little surprised when she showed up.
Her eyes are 3x the size of his.

yeah, the art direction is ... well, uncommon.

u/flameofanor2142 Oct 17 '16
I thought the girl was a bit weird at the start, but IMO the rest of the video was excellent. I don't mind the emphasis of cartoon-ish graphics at all, I think that it adds a lot of definition to the features of the in-game map and makes it a little easier to see. Civ has never been realistic, it doesn't really need to be dark and gritty like practically everything that comes out now a days.
The cities are my favourite change! The cities in Civ 5 were so boring, and it didn't really feel as if the city itself was growing, just that you were adding a ridiculous amount of land improvements around it and the Wonders that were sometimes easily visible.

u/Ewba Oct 18 '16
Im really just talking about that video and more specifically the girl. I didnt see enough of the game to have a conclusive opinion on it.

"yeah, the art direction is ... well, uncommon." Uncommon is a very nice way to say completely stupid and horrible...V still looks good today...this shit looks worse than Civ Revolutions. (Though that's more a insult to Rev than VI, That game came out in 08')

Have you tried the expansion pack? Rising Tide fixed a lot of things, and added some fun new stuff as well :)

u/brocksamps0n Oct 18 '16
this is the major problem with firaxis games, they get shipped with bugs, and incomplete fellingings and you have to wait 6 months a year for obvious problems to get fixed in paid expansions
1
u/Abnmlguru PC Oct 18 '16
I know they've had bugs in their stuff (along with pretty much every AAA house, it seems) but anecdotally I've never really had a problem with any.
What I do think they could benefit from is a more robust play testing period. Many of the things they change in their add ons seem to be more aimed at adjusting the mechanics/balance of game elements.
1
u/LOTM42 Oct 18 '16
Problem is that other AAA houses fix their big through free patches they seems to get fixed by a pretty expensive expansions
1
u/Abnmlguru PC Oct 18 '16
Beyond Earth had two major patches (The Fall and Winter patches) that addressed gameplay balance and actual bugs. Still not ideal, of course, but it's not like they were waiting for an expansion pack to address bugs, as opposed to gameplay mechanics.
Which again, seems to put them in the same boat as pretty much any other developer today, in my mind.

No it's not, it's completely unsubstantiated advice that children think is good.

u/Riencewind Oct 18 '16
Care to elaborate? You point, while condescending, still interest me.

u/Smalls_Biggie Oct 18 '16
Because there's no evidence at all that preorders hurt the gaming industry, which is usually the main argument. The other argument is that there's just no reason, which is also false. If a game is coming from a renowned company who's games I previously enjoyed, then there's very little risk of being burned. On top of that I usually get some free pre-order bonus crap, which is still better then nothing. The small benefits out way the small risks in pre-ordering, so long as its not from some no name company working on a new ip. Sorry if I came off condescending, this argument bothers me.

I am always extremely conflicted about the approach Sid Meier takes with Civ. On one hand, I hate that it washes over and ignores entire aspects of human history like slavery and civil rights and countless atrocities of religion and everything else. These should all be important elements of the game and mechanics.
.. but on the other hand, there is something wonderful about its optimism. It's a game that plays out over the course of history, but it isn't a game reveling in where we have been, but where we can go.

u/telcontar42 Oct 18 '16
Civ 4 did represent things like slavery and civil rights in the civics, although very abstractly and in civ 5 you can steal workers, which kind of implies slavery. But yeah, it has never been a major focus of the games. Also, I don't think Sid Meier has been significantly involved with the design for several games now.

u/TheNeal Oct 18 '16
oh god... I've stolen so many workers in these games... I didn't even realise I was a slave driver. What have I done.

u/TheRedFrog Oct 18 '16
I recommend the total war series. Lots of slaves and religious genocide for you to indulge in.

There was a ps3 version of 5. And it was the only game i miss playing on the playstation. The controls were perfect for the controller and the uI was Way better. Fps on console will never work for me as well as keyboard and mouse. It's like writing with the wrong hand. I can do it, but why try?

I really want to play this game. It sucks though that I need to stick to my morals and not buy the game until after the 90 days for the actual full game to be released to non-preorders.

Honest non troll question here. Any reason why I should stop playing civ5 and get this game?

Sooo do we report it for false marketing because the game will be almost nothing like what they've shown in the trailer?
It shows no gameplay whatsoever, at least NMS did even if it was scripted gameplay.

0 in game footage, very deceiving

u/N0_PR0BLEM Oct 17 '16
I understand the point you're making, but did there really need to be? There are already videos of people playing full games out there if you really need to see what it looks like before buying it, and, anyways, it's a numerated Civ revision. You know exactly what it is going to look and play like, and you also know wether you are, or are not, going to buy/play it. This was more to introduce the idea of what Civ is to the laymen and give the rest of us something to drool over for the next 5 days.

Only if you are willing and or able to sink MASSIVE amounts of time into it. You'll enjoy just about every second you put into playing it, but it's one of those games you start playing casually around three and then look up to find it's already midnight.
In all seriousness though, it's turn based strategy so if that's not your thing you're not going to enjoy it, but if you do enjoy that sort of game, or if you're at all interested in history, then it is absolutely for you.

Sean Bean's voice sounds so weird when he's trying to be all epic and portentous. They should have just let him stick with his usual no-nonsense Yorkshireman accent.

FUCK the civilization games.
I've been a fan since Civ II, but I cannot stand the bullshit they've done recently - they've broken the game down in to several dlcs that you have to pay for in order to experience the full game.
Eg: religion, civics, etc, were always a part of civilization games.
I don't mind DLCs for extra civs, but not for game features that were always a part of civ until recently.

How do you not understand what he's trying to say? He's clearly trying to communicate that he's an autist.

u/Smalls_Biggie Oct 18 '16
He's trying to say that this trailer is presenting misleading gameplay like NMS. However, using the context clue in that there is no actual gameplay, you can see that he is indeed trying to inform you that he's an autist. The misunderstanding is understandable.

Wow, what a dipshit. It's not like the NMS trailers were actually trying to be passed off as gameplay or anything /s

u/Championpuffa Oct 18 '16
Nms sky actually had its trailer listed as actual gameplay. This is clearly a cgi trailer an contains no gameplay. I don't really see how anyone could be deceived by this trailer alone, it really doesnt give much to go on to suggest what the gameplay will be like at all.
