I hope it’s better than Civ 6.
You must log in or register to comment.
My prediction is that people will overhype it with lots of hopes for super complex systems, call it shit when it has fewer mechanics and civs than 3/4/5/6 with all their DLC, and then eventually decide it’s good after a couple years of DLC and patches.
You know, the usual Civ cycle. I’ll probably buy it day 1 assuming it isn’t actually broken, per usual, and dump a couple hundred hours in it, per usual.
I just want an AI that actually plays the game and have to build things for real instead of cheating in everything.
“just”
The AI has never been great in the series for various reasons, but for whatever reason it just did not know how to play in Civ6. I’d either get crushed by the bonuses early on if I played on high difficulty or have the game firmly in hand by the Renaissance otherwise. Easily the worst game in the series for me as a result.
Yeah, it seems at a certain breaking point in the difficulty curve it becomes “catch up with the AI boni”, which made it a completely different game for me. And as you said, usually by renaissance you know if this is going to be a landslide victory (which at that point becomes a chore), or if you’re screwed.
This please.
Yes pretty graphics are nice, but I have never understood why it seems like all effort to make better game ‘AI’ just completely stopped.
Like I get getting game ai to act ‘real’ is/was virtually impossible, but it’s possible to fake it enough to make it enjoyable and has been for a long while and yet is always an afterthought.
So the trailer shows nothing
teaserA written announcement would have sufficed.
Probably even more dumbed down cartoon toddler graphics than 6.
I played Civilization for years. When Civ 5 came out, I was incredibly psyched. I specifically went to PAX one year just so I could get new information on the game. When I finally played it, it was the biggest disappointment of my gaming life. It just doesn’t feel like any of the previous ones. Civ 6 is way better in almost every way.
I’m wary of Civ 7 though. How can they improve upon the game without adding minigames or breaking it into insane amounts of DLC eg. Stellaris? I probably won’t pick it up until it’s on a steam sale with all its DLC at 50% off or something stupid.
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.
They’d* better not
Yeah I played VI and after one game went back to V.
Between 4, 5 and 6, I don’t even know if I want another Civ game. I usually just play 4, despite having 1-6. 4 is like the peak of the series.
I’m glad they moved away from unit death stacks in 5 and 6. I think 5 has the best art direction, but 6 is peak gameplay for me.
