HawlSera, do gaming w Don't forget to make a 2nd save file just in case.

This is why I have no tolerance for games with limited saving… Which is painful as a Resident Evil fan who prefers the early games

(No surprise that I use unlimited saving mods)

It’s always a game you want to get back to or intend to try. But it just never grabs your attention.

As others have said, play Civ 5. Better game with all the bugs worked out, and cheaper.

Is the pic from the walking dead? Cause if so pretty sure I stopped watching at this season and was curious if it ever picked up again?

puppycat,

it is! this was season 7. season 8 (and a lot of 7, both seasons were the same arc or whatever) was the best season by far imo (I’m also only on season 9 lol)

when my gf got me to watch the zombie show™ I did not expect it to turn into such a crazy non-zombie-focused plot. there are 11 seasons of the main show, 8 seasons of fear the walking dead, a season or two (idk) of Daryl Dixon, and yet another show, the ones who live, released in 2024.

ThrowawayPermanente,

I think they even have a few more shows than that now

Civilization V

Just start with that one and you won’t regret it.

Sort by last played. Sort by size. See the same names? Start blasting.

Some games (modded ones) are such a pain to get to work the same way that you don’t want to delete them

SkyezOpen,

Honestly if the mods aren’t drag drop play I don’t even fuck with them. I’ve spent too much time modding games that weren’t made to be modded, and steam workshop has truly spoiled me.

Yeah, and nexus now requires to login to download mods AND you can’t use a temporary email address

I sadly don’t, I’m just frustrated that Nexus gobbled up the whole scene.

Civ 5 is where it’s at

As someone old enough to have chosen between save files to delete for space, I don’t really understand why people get so hung up on which games are currently installed.

cone_zombie,

Pffft, I remember typing without vowels to save space

I old enough that, as a kid, every time I wanted to play a game I had had to wait for it to install from cassette.

Besides, download speeds now are amazing.

tape load times were a good excuse for a tea break

the download speeds being good now is kinda cancelled out by a lot of games being ridiculously huge now though

skittlebrau,

I remember how amazing it was to upgrade the memory cards in the PS2 to those third party ones.

Whereas the paltry 128kB memory cards in the PS1 were painful to deal with, especially with those games that demanded multiple save slots.

Cartridge based games varied so much with save slots. Some games I recall playing from the SNES era only had 3 slots I think. I remember Mega Man X used a clever passcode feature to let you ‘save’.

gajahmada,

I mean, I’m also old and I get what you mean, but I still feel this way on many occasions.

Games nowadays are huge, and my 50 mbps bandwidth can’t keep up with today’s standard where I’m used to everything happens instantly.

Also modded games are usually painful to reinstall.

Spacehooks, do games w Is Civilization 7 not fun?

Unpopular opinion turn base is boring. Rather pkay something like Stellaris where it turns to turn Base cause My 2012 pc can’t handle the game with 309 mods.

Just get more space

SamboT,

You’ve obviously never been to space

Sam_Bass,

Outer space no. Inner space yes but it wasn’t pretty

Humankind is free on EGS.

You should try Unciv. It’s an open source Civilisation game. Yes, you can play online too. Not a very good looking game, but still awesome. Works on Android too.

Ephera, (edited )

Yeah, its game mechanics are very similar to Civ5, which is still considered one of the high points in the Civ series. And it does reproduce them quite well, so I do think that can give you a good impression, if Civ is for you.

Then again, I do own Civ5, but still end up playing Unciv instead, because I’d rather have my laptop not screaming at me while it runs in the background and I do a couple turns every so often…

I hate questions like this. How would anyone but you know if it’s fun? Fun is completely subjective. Some people didn’t have fun in Veilguard. I had a lot of fun in Veilguard. Was Veilguard A good game? Now that’s a bit different question.

Things can be both not good but also fun. Among Us isn’t going to win game awards for narrative, but it was fun as hell to play.

Only way to tell if it’s fun is to go and play it, and return it if you don’t like it. Stop letting other people tell you if you’re having fun or not. Just, go enjoy things

CarnivorousCouch,

Yep. For what it’s worth. I played about six hours today and had an absolute blast. Definitely some UI weaknesses, but I’ve been focusing more on the big changes to the gameplay loop, and I like them so far.

But I’m just some random online.

!deleted6348 avatar

Your disclaimer is what I really like tbh. We’re all just random people online with our own opinions, why would anyone take our word for if something is fun?

I’m glad you’re having a good time though!

garretble,
@garretble@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, I now have six hours in the game between last night and today. I actually finally just stopped after a few hour stretch.

I’m having fun! But I also have seen some bugs. I can get behind waiting if some smaller bugs are annoying, but I’m enjoying the game quite a bit.

I’m pretty happy that it runs alright on my Mac Mini M4. Starts up quick and gets going. It defaults to High settings but I turned the shadows down a bit just to keep things a little smoother.

Yorick, do games w Is Civilization 7 not fun?

If you’re not really into the civilization series, I would always wait when the game has a huge sale.

I started with Civ5 during a 10$ sale with all expansions, 200 Hours. As a treat I bought Civ6 on launch, which while slightly barebone (all civ games are on launch) was really fun, and after buying the expansions and a couple DLC I got 500h on it so clearly a good investment.

I would put Civ6 and Civ7 in your wishlist to get notified when there’s a sale, and see if you like it or not after the fact.

The current reviews for 7 are mostly about the UI and the limited selection of civs to choose, also for some reason some players can’t bare the idea of stopping the game at the cold war just before the moon landing.

PlzGivHugs, do games w Is Civilization 7 not fun?

Looks like the general consensus is that its not terrible, but is unfinished and not at all worth the price.

If you’re looking to get into Civ, I’d probably recommend either five for a more complete, and polished game, or six for a weirder and more experimental game.
