it's terrible

I really liked civ 6 actually -- it's funny that a lot of the gamer retards prattle on about how 5 is the best in the series but in reality 6 is extremely similar to 5, just with some extra stuff tacked on. 5 was a huge change from 4, but 6 was very incremental compared to 5

civ 7 changes the core gameplay loop though and it's terrible. basically the game is now divided in to three periods, and at the end of each period your tech tree resets/is fast forwarded. units are auto-upgraded. etc. the problem is none of the periods last long enough to really feel like you've done anything, the whole mechanism is just implemented really poorly and destroys the most core mechanic of civ, incremental progression via the tech tree+units

it has a bunch of other problems but so did every other civ game at launch I've ever played (4 for example was unplayable for the first year). but the shift in core gameplay loop is just a terrible decision that can't be fixed

i think the thing with civ5 was the same deal with skyrim -- the retro-nostalgia modding community. they would just pack each session or game with at least 250+ mods. its the same reason zoomers (some even approaching their 30's now) still play on old defunct minecraft servers

this

there are a lot of very very good mods for civ 5 that essentially make it into entirely new games (which are significantly better than the original game)

i'm a civ 5 enjoyer btw although i don't play anymore, or at least haven't for a while

They were trying to solve a problem that they assumed was preventing people from enjoying the game-- late-game slog. You get to a certain point in 6 and you know you are going to win but it takes another 100 turns. But the "problem" wasn't preventing people from actually playing and they ended up throwing the baby out with the bath water.

Also, I think you end up switching civs when the eras change-- like you don't play Rome all the way through.

Just really fucked up everything. My guess is that women were involved somehow in these changes

Yeah I totally forgot about that. It's painfully nonsensical/retarded and removes a large part of the fun "RP nerd" aspect of the game. Half the fucking point of Civ is that you get to play Rome With Lasers or Neolithic Victorian England or whatever.

dude, i remember back in the heyday (while on obligatory prescription meth, of course) playing for the first time a single civ5 game (22 civ max, all city-states) literally almost 96 hours straight.

i almost died, but this was probably the last time gaming was 180 in a frutiger aero-sense. that is, the inherited optimism and aesthetics from the late 90's to early aught's.

bioshock infinite just came out, diablo 3 about to be released before people trashed it (and blizzard, once considered like the HBO of gaming) indefinitely, half-life source games/mods although losing steam still going strong (CS:S, L4D2, DoD:S), call of duty peaked (Modern Warfare 1/2).

today and now, in every fantasy franchise/license games to films; female characters are all contractually obligated to look like Lupita Nyong'o or worse while you're squinting and shifting thru which MTX currency type from the game store allows you chop off your pink polka-dot cock because it offended a server GM and ended up getting you banned.

I wish there were fewer difficulty levels with civ games.

I like all the exploration & planning stuff... but I want to curbstomp the cpu opponents so bad, I play on easy levels.

Any setback at all pisses me off

just get good at it until you can curbstomp on medium difficulty

the difficulty levels (at least in civ vi) don't correspond to better or worse AI, it just gives the AI different levels of handicap. e.g. on easy modes you get a slight bump in unit strength in battles, and on deity the ai civs get extra settlers and units. it doesn't change the ai's decision making.

so gameplay isn't fundamentally different on different difficulty levels, you're just giving either yourself or the AI a boost. if you're not a beginner and you're good enough to beat the AI in general then medium difficulty shouldn't be a problem.

I don't understand how anyone can play these games. They seem so slow and banal and the combat/warfare is absolute shit. The one I played probably would have been IV or V which are supposedly the best. They just seem so simplistic compared to Stellaris, although my understanding is that when I last played it years ago, it was in a good place and updates have kind of fucked it up since.

One of the U.S. leaders is Harriet Tubman.

Even if the game were good I’m not buying that woke garbage.
