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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Did you read the reviews? Most are absolutely thrashing the UI which is critical for a game like this. Probably best to steer clear for now. You could try a previous civ game though, or endless legend maybe?

I be zipping up the directory and uploading my save files to the internet

Just get more space

SamboT,

You’ve obviously never been to space

I always wanted you to go though

Sam_Bass,

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

They could improve this so much by saying something like “the last 2 minutes and 24 seconds of unsaved progress will be lost” instead. Just need to keep a time counter from last save, that’s not too much overhead.

wccrawford,

There are even games that already do this. I still end up second-guessing, but at least “you last saved 8 seconds ago” makes me pretty sure I got it.

Flashbacks of playing Metal Gear Solid 2 at a time of frequent unexpected power cuts. Painful.

I think it’s no mans sky that tells you how long ago your last save was before you leave. That’s the ideal.

Correct!

I think the jedi games do this as well

kn33,

I think the ideal is to have 3 buttons - “Save”, “Quit”, and “Save & Quit”

Nemoder,

Agreed, but you still need a confirmation on the quit button to ask if you are sure you want to quit without saving.

Ziglin,

But also include the time of/since the last save.

The only solution is to keep playing

Me:

  • Saves Game
  • Tries to exit
  • Confirm exit?
  • No
  • Saves again
  • Hits Save and Exit

The new Prince of Persia is the worst for this! There’s no auto-cloud save, so you have to manually manage uploading and downloading to the one cloud save slot between your three on-device slots.

And no matter what, no matter how long it’s been, it asks about it, like: “Your last save was 0 minutes ago, as you sure you want to exit?”

Your meme game is ridiculously strong .

Props to Animal Well developer, it doesn’t prompt you if you saved in the last minute.

One time during the final mission in Batman Arkham City I hit the power button at the same frame the auto-save turned on. My save was corrupted and I had to speedrun the story again. Thank god I wasn’t doing Riddler trophies I would’ve gone insane.
