Rentlar, do games w Civilization 7 Outlines Crucial 1.1.1 Update as It Struggles to Compete on Steam Against Civ 6 and Even the 15-Year-Old Civ 5

I think a lot of people are waiting for the first Civ7 expansion pack to be released, whenever that may be.

Civ 6 without R+F, GS feels like a completely different game. As an example, in vanilla you can expand anywhere right up to someone’s borders whereas with the expansion straying too far from your territory you could just lose it to influential pressure from neighbouring cities.

OutlierBlue,

I’m waiting for the last Civ7 expansion pack to be released.

I mean, each of these games are just the same as the previous but with less content more or less?

OutlierBlue,

They do make changes throughout the series, but every new game is a complete reset to a basic game so they can sell you all the DLC and expansions to make it into a full game.

Civ6 still isn’t in a state that I’m happy with playing it over civ 5, or even civ4. What makes them think I’d give civ7 the time of day?

When this game came out, took it as my cue to buy Civ 6 + the DLCs.

Bring back the UI team from 6 and I’m sold.

As the article says, it’s history repeating itself. This one made more foundational changes to the formula than 6 did over 5, and once again, if you’re looking to play a Civ game, the old game is still going to be cheaper. I loved 6 when it came out, but when friends were curious about dipping their toes in, I just referred them to 5 because it was almost as good and far cheaper to try out. Civ 6 charts compared to 5 around the same time period are similar. I haven’t picked up 7 yet just because I’m still trying to get through other games, but I’m looking forward to it.

Why do you consider Civ 6 better than 5?

Edit for anyone else wanting to answer: Please specify whether you’re including Brave New World (or Gods and Kings) in your comparison, since those expansions significantly improved upon the original Civ 5 release.

On a technical level, it functioned better. On an artistic level, I liked the look a lot better. On a gameplay level, they were pretty similar, but I liked what they did with city tiles in 6.

Skua, (edited )

I'm not the person that you asked, but I do hold the same opinion. My biggest reasons are:

  • Civs are far more incentivised to expand in VI, resulting in more conflict
  • Districts make city placement a much more complicated question
  • The city state influence game is much more interesting than just a spending race and also has more game-changing rewards
  • The culture and science victories are much more interactive with other civs now, rather than just hiding away and waiting for a bar to fill

I don't think V is bad by any means. It was the one that got me into the series after bouncing off III and IV. I just think that most of the changes in VI were improvements

mox,

Are you including Brave New World in that comparison? I’ve never played Civ 5 without it.

Skua,

Yes, and Gods & Kings. I did technically play the game without them but it was long enough ago now that I don't really remember it without them

mox,

Thanks for the perspective. :)

I honestly forgot about civ 7. Wow what a crazy long month it’s been…

TommySoda, do games w Civilization 7 Outlines Crucial 1.1.1 Update as It Struggles to Compete on Steam Against Civ 6 and Even the 15-Year-Old Civ 5

My philosophy is that Civ 5 and Civ 6 are just fine. My friend was going to buy 7 on release and I was like “yeah, but you can just go play Civ 6. It’s not like it’s a bad game just because the new one is out.” And I’m glad I convinced him otherwise because of how “okay” Civ 7 has been so far. Nothing against the game, I just already have the last three Civ games with all DLC and there is still a mountain of content that we already have to play with each other.

No ghandi = fuck you.

You know they’re going to bring him back as DLC

This is the only post-DemonSouls game i haven’t finished :/ The frame drops in some areas gave me frequent headaches, so i only made it like a third way in

kaosof,

It plays a lot (relatively speaking) better on a PS4 Pro. It’s puzzling how stupid of a decision it is leaving it at 30 FPS even on PS5.

dinckelman,

I’ve pretty much come to terms that i’ll either never finish it, or will play it again on an emulator eventually. As it is now, it won’t run any better on my Slim console, and i have no intention of upgrading it

Baggie,

PS4 emulation has come a long way. I haven’t played fully through my copy, but I was going through it at 60fps through the first few areas with little to no issue. You may want to wait until all the kinks are out, but it’s pretty good as it is.

It’s puzzling how stupid of a decision it is leaving it at 30 FPS even on PS5.

It’s literally the same exact game, the system just has backwards compatibility. They never updated it to be faster, and it’s not exactly an easy fix either since the entire animation system is based on the frame rate. You at least don’t see it drop lower than 30 anywhere on a PS5.

DS1 didn’t get native 60fps until the remaster, and the mods that allowed it to go that fast would introduce a bunch of bugs.

kaosof,

Yeah, I’m aware of the game speed etc being tied to FPS, but From Software made DS3 run at 60 FPS on Xbox and PS5 over 3 years ago.

Iirc, it’s using the same engine as Bloodborne, so conceivably, they could get it working in Bloodborne as well.

The more logical thing to do, of course, would be to rehash it for a 10 year anniversary release with 4K/60, but that has come and gone, so…

I don’t even own a PS5, and never will, but the game is so god damn good that it’s (another) crime for Sony to leave it like this.

I played it for the first time a few months ago.

Controlling the character felt quite unintuitive at first on PS4, but after some time and explanations from a friend, I managed to play it through.

I enjoyed it.

I finally managed to invade someone and it happened to be just outside the clinic at the start of my NG+ cycle. My HP was lowered so much, and I did so much damage to the dude while he did basically nothing to me.

I thought BB had the same level/upgrade stuff as the other games? I felt like I just stomped a level 1 character of a player who has never played before 🤣

Would be nice if they revisited the raytracing implementation

simple,

I’m surprised they never followed up on it, it was kinda cool. I really liked the reflective blocks.

comrade19,

I think it’s such a good implementation but it does make it a bit harder to play when you’re in dark places

CommanderCloon,

They only implemented those in bedrock edition, available in the MS store… I’d rather they add it into Java edition so us Linux gamers can use them, and not tie them exclusively with NVidia
