AGreenPurple, do games w Is Civilization 7 not fun?

If you have never played Civ before it would be a good time to start with Civ 5 or maybe even Civ 3. They are cheap and quite polished.

In my opinion (having played Civ since the first game, yes I’m old), Civ 7 is quite ok in it’s foundations, but it’s clearly released too early and like the other parts before it’s mainly a game about optimizing numbers, not so much about strategy.

Biggest turn off for me is the introduction of “rogue like” mechanics that give you to play certain characters and nations in a certain way to access others. Why would I want to have that crap in a strategy game?

Overspark,

They stole that and some other mechanics from Humankind, a game by the same studio as Endless Legend. It wasn’t received that well in Humankind either, so I’m kinda surprised that they stole it anyway, but I guess line must go up and they didn’t have a lot of inspiration themselves?

AGreenPurple,

I played Humankind as well, but I like the execution in Civ better (despite the bugs and unfinished ui). Butt yes, the idea want original at all.

Overspark,

Good to hear how it compares, I was curious about that but reviewers aren’t talking about it.

Hyphlosion,

What about 4?

Never played it myself, but goddamn is that Baba Yetu song awesome. It’s been on my playlist for many years.

anamethatisnt,

Civ4 is the one I still play. I like my stacks of doom and could never get into the hexagons and no stacking units of later games.

Overspark,

4 is the best “old” civ in that it still has square tiles and doomstacks. Also the modding scene is insane for 4, massive total makeovers that make it a completely different game, far more interesting mods than any other civ game.

Yeah, it’s showing me and some friends online. Can chat, but still having problem with online games.

MothmanDelorian,

Fortnite launches and I can have friends join. Going to try a match in a minute.

Interesting. Once you are in the game, I think it’s all Epic servers, so should work, but it’s possible there’s still some weird PSN connection that may stop it from working.

MothmanDelorian,

Im in playstation chat so something works

MothmanDelorian,

Played a match

JanoRis, do games w Is Civilization 7 not fun?

i tried it for 2h and refunded it, since i didnt enjoy it like the previous civs. It just didnt click for me and was not worth 100€ imo.

I might check it out again in a year or so on a sale

caut_R,

100€ for a singular videogame sounds so crazy to me

Rogue,

The game itself is cheaper than that. I suspect they chose to pay for a deluxe edition

JanoRis,

yeah you have to, to play it early.

usually dont buy predorder editions but i was feeling a civ game, so i bought it on a whim to try

ryathal, do games w Is Civilization 7 not fun?

As others have said start with 5. The rule of thumb for civ games is to wait for the expansion dlc to release and buy the game on sale. 7 is also a significant departure from the previous games, so it’s probably even more important to wait or outright skip it until they get it more polished.

Also it’s worth looking into endless legend or endless space 2 if you want to try more 4x games.

passiveaggressivesonar,

Endless legend is so good

Just nabbed 4tb of ssds. Happy to not have to do this anymore (for a while).

With 1tb nvme boot drive. I can generally re-get a game at any time, but i dont feel like redownloading just because the OS is fucked.

brisk,

With that set up you could install Ark twice!

ech,

Lol

levzzz,

I’ve already filled up around 1.5tb on my 2tb nvme ssd

ech,

Hah, yeah. I’m pretty prolific at filling up my drives as well. Should still help, though!

kandoh, do games w Is Civilization 7 not fun?

I’m going to wait until they sell it with all the dlc for like 10 dollars like they did with 6 at one point.

Excited for it though! I love civ

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)

Ghost33313, do gaming w Goodbye my friend.

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

dan1101, do games w Is Civilization 7 not fun?

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

BedSharkPal, do gaming w Goodbye my friend.

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

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.

BuboScandiacus,

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

Palerider,

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.

Horse,
@Horse@lemmygrad.ml avatar

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.
