I just hope (foolishly) that with the current hype that it’s AI will be a focus. I hate that because it cheats things that would work on me don’t work on the AI etc.

It would be really cool if they made an API for the game so people could build their own AI

That really is one of the biggest flaws of Civ. It’s so hard to find a breakpoint where the gameplay “feels good” but still is challenging. If you’re at a difficulty level where the gameplay is mostly intact, the AI is just too dumb, and if you bump it up it becomes a meta game of playing around the AI bonuses.

chonglibloodsport,

This was covered in a great talk by Soren Johnson (lead designer of Civ IV): Playing to Lose: AI and Civilization.

His main thesis is that players constantly demand stronger AI (that doesn’t cheat) but when they try it they hate it. The issue is that strong AI doesn’t role-play like an actual historical leader, it plays like a “gamer” who will stop at nothing to win.

That is, strong AI opponents treat Civ like a game of poker and they’ll use every possible means of defeating you. They’re not reliable allies or trading partners, they’re bluffing, duplicitous liars.

Human players who play against such AIs report a very negative experience. Many of the diplomacy functions in the game become rather useless against such an untrustworthy AI, and the whole situation devolves into something more akin to “turn-based Warcraft” rather than Civilization.

I don’t want a stronger AI because I’m playing it to fantasize about alternative histories. Then again I play FPS games at the lowest difficulty in story mode because I’m here for the story. (And also I’m shit at FPS games.)

Katana314,

The Ottoman Empire is suffering a plague of health concerns! With your modern science, you have determined this is because they apply glue to their pizzas. Do you wish to provide assistance by helping them click the squares that contain a motorcycle?

harrys_balzac,

You have built the Golden Gate Suicide Wonder. Population will decrease 5% per year in all water tiles.

Also Civ VI is currently 95% off on Steam if that’s helpful to anyone.

Wogi,

If you’ve been holding on to civ 5 it’s the best time to move over to 6 that there ever will be.

Seeing Henry and Hans running around getting into mischief… I’m there for it.

I paid 20USD for CIV6 for Android when it first came out. I really enjoyed it until I got on my first flight.

After switching to Spotify and back to the game, it turned off my game and won’t let me play anymore.

I ended up hacking it and now I can play it offline.

They better not make the same mistake twice.

GBU_28,

Or else what

jaschen,

Or else I’ll just pirate the game instead of buying it

GBU_28,

But you already bought it, it’d be you making the same mistake twice

jaschen,

I’m talking about Civ VII. It’s not out yet.

GBU_28,

I’m your original scenario, you bought the game, then learned it sucked, then modified/pirated.

They got your money.

If you apply the same pattern to the upcoming game, you’ll still have bought it.

Edit So there’s no “or else” from the company perspective.

jaschen,

I understand your point.

Fool me once. Shame on you. Fool me twice. Shame on me.

If they require an internet connection for CIV VII, I’ll just pirate it and skip the extra work to get a functional game.

itsnotits,

They’d* better not

How did you Hack it?

jaschen,

Funny you asked. I just created some directions on how to do this.

Download this APK and install it. Password is 12345 www.mediafire.com/file/…/CIVVI_pass_is

Then download ONLY the obb file(the last link, it’s almost 4gb). It’s the last link. Don’t download the first 2 links unless you want the Russian version of this game. apkaward.com/civilization-vi-mod-free-android-apk


1 – download and install the apk

2 --open it and close it so it can make an obb folder

3 – download obb file and extract it and folder like download or something

4 – you should now have have 2 files both 2 gb named main and patch

5 – install FV file explorer from store and open it, on the right tab is a robot logo. Pick the obb.

6 – move the 2 ( 2gb )obb files in to Android/obb/com.aspyr.civvi or something it will be there .

7 --open the game and be patient first boot might take a long mine took 10 mins

Civ 6 was good value for $6.

I like it when games take risks to try new ideas. Looking forward to this launch.

smokin_shinobi,

Looks like Risk of Rain 2 to me honestly.

Really looking forward to this one.

Shardikprime,

I’m really looking forward to that drunkard perk, it’s like teleportation you can’t control hahah

Shiiiiiit, best surprise from SGF thus far. But I have a feeling there are more to come

RightHandOfIkaros, do games w Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Saints and Sinners Trailer

I look forward to playing this, the only thing I wasn’t a fan of in the original.is that saving needed a consumable potion.

Shardikprime,

Bro you gotta be all over those schnapps

RightHandOfIkaros,

What’s weird is I liked when Resident Evil still needed Ink Ribbons to save your game. But something about it in Kingdom Come just doesn’t jive with me.

SRo,

Same but I don’t think it’s weird. RE are linear games and you always picked up ribbons at convenient moments. KC is a open world game and the schnapps drops are random and not very often or you had to ride to an alchemy bench and brew them with an ingredient that was hard to find. I didn’t want to deal with that so I modded the game to save when I wanted.

Shardikprime,

I used the optimum efficiency method and got 3 schnapps a pop per minute, farming the ingredients wasn’t that much complex as well. One is everywhere and the other has some special locations. It has its charm

SRo,

I honestly never found the elusive one in the wild. Only got a reliable location with the dlc and the garden. The system may have it’s charm but it was just too many steps for my liking.

Shardikprime,

Nah there is like 3 places and one spot literally behind where you learn alchemy first time where you can get the belladonna 1

Dkiscoo,

Yes! This just made me pause the game and never close it

When I first saw this I thought: this just looks like Bloodborne but Spanish Inquisition. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Ohh I need to do another hardcore Henry run

This is the only game I’m currently excited for. I was excited for Space Marine 2, until I saw it had a season pass and comes with day 1 DLC if you preorder. I am crossing my fingers that the publisher doesn’t somehow weasel a season pass or DLC into this!!!

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Why is it that you draw the line at season passes? Does it just mean you pick it up on sale later? Usually a DLC pipeline is the best way to keep your employees working on something productive while the tech folks are setting the ground work on the next project.

slumberlust,

Not OP, but happy to provide my perspective. Day one DLC is not DLC but part of the original game that was removed for pay tier and marketing reasons. DLCs or expansion packs like the recent cyberpunk campaign are fine in my book.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

That’s different than a season pass though, and it’s why I didn’t question the day 1 DLC, which isn’t super common these days, from what I can tell.

rayquetzalcoatl,
@rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world avatar

I’m just generally pretty skeptical of DLC; I feel like sure, there are some good examples of actual “expansions” but that a lot of DLC is just cynical nickle-and-diming pushed by publishers.

I’m even more skeptical of season passes, which feels like pre-ordering DLC. I don’t pre-order anything, and barely keep up with modern gaming, because it feels like disappointment after disappointment.

I also feel a little negative about a developer releasing something and even months before launch having one eye on DLC. I understand it probably works that way in terms of development timelines, and I understand that it can be a good way to keep employees working on something productive, but I can’t help but feel like I’m not getting as full a game as I could have.

It’s just my opinion tho, and I’m definitely not saying everyone has to agree!

CosmoNova,

Even BG3 has a day 1 DLC so I wouldn‘t get my hopes up. It‘s basically the Steam equivalent of a collectors edition at this point.

cmhe,

I don’t remember that. AFAIK Larian has not made, and will not make any DLC for BG3.

What do you mean?

Keegen,

Guy is mad that Larian decided to add the pre-order items (literally some cosmetic items that reference their previous game, soundtrack, some art and DnD style character sheets for the Origins) as an optional bundle for people to buy if they missed out and want them. But “day 1 DLC bad” so it doesn’t matter how inoffensive this thing is, hate must flow, game shit, 0/10.

CosmoNova,

What a terrible unnecessary and emotionally loaded strawman argument. I actually own the DLC and love BG3 just as I love Larian‘s other recent games. You‘re wrong about it being just cosmetics too. And it was Larian who made a HUGE deal about not tolerating any additional, paywalled content when the game had it from day 1. And so you now make a huge deal about how it somehow doesn‘t count because Larian is based or something. Just accept that they lied there just like they lie about shareholders and enjoy the video game like everyone else without treating the devs like your holy absolute.

CosmoNova,

What do you usually do when you don’t remember information that is freely available? I am talking about the very DLC featured on the Steam page. The one with an item bag that gives you more dialog options. The one that Larian made a big deal about not existing. Guess it worked considering there‘s even gaslit superfans in here refusing to admit it exists because it‘s somehow such a world shattering deal to them.

cmhe, (edited )

I don’t know why you are so aggressive.

You made a good point, this is actually DLC, I just forgot about it.

I bought BG3 when it was in EA, so I got this DLC automatically, so I never really thought about it recently, I don’t even remember seeing it on any shop front.

But now that you mentioned it, I think I thought that they should probably release it for free for everyone at that time. Just like CDPR released some cosmetic ‘DLC’ for free after launch.

If I had to buy it, I probably wouldn’t.
